CITY WILL NOT
CONCEDE POINT
Claims That Firemen Do Not Stick
by Proposition Made Last
Spring.

Rock Island city commissioners
gave out notice that the demands
of the firemen submitted after a
meeting of the men yesterday aft
ernoon cannot be met by the city
The city officials contend that the
main point regarding disagreement
over wages and time off is that the
men demand that they have every
fourth day off and that this is not
to be granted as every sixth day
off is considered a fair settlement,
and as this was the request Of the
firemen in their contentious last
spring they should now accept this
offer. No difference exists between
the city and the men regarding
wages as the city has promised to
allow the $40 a month increase.
The frequency of the days off is the
main contention.
The city heads also state that
they will not deal with the men as
an organization. The claim that the
firemen as an organization are try
ing to dictate the policies of the
city commissioners and that this
will not be tolerated.
The commissioners say that they
will deal with the men in but one
way. and that is as individuals.
In case the men leave their po-
sitions tomorrow morning as they
have threatened to do the city heads
say they will take steps to give the
city fire protection by other means
than by dealing with the present
firemen's union.
The commissioners also set forth
that they held the special election
June 20 for the purpose of obtain
ing permission of the voters tC
raise taxes out of which to increase
the fremen's wages. and that the
firemen agreed to abide by the de
cision of the public, which they say
| the firemen have failed to do.
