of a man I'm whom labor has a friend.
His wide acquaintance in the state and
his close association with laboring cir
fluence, which in legislative halls, will
be worth very great deal.
In the Fifty-eighth district, Edward
r. Ribenack, candidate for the state
senate, gives assurance of continued
support of the kind of labor legisla-
ton that is wanted, which he gave
during his long service in the state
house of representatives. Mr.. Ribe-
mack has always been right with labor
and for past performances, labor owes
him good deal, which can, in a meas
ure. be paid now by support of him
next Tuesday. In This district, also
Hugh FaWcett and Frank G. Scribner,
candidates for the house of represent
tatives, are, it is believed, most likely
to get the support of the laboring ele-
ment, for, while they are not labor
union men themselves, they have been
employers for years. and, unique in
these days, are employers who have
never had trouble with their men.
They have dealt fairly with the men
shown on every occasion, that their in
clination is to push labor forward in
stead of backward.
The name of John Bennett of the
Plumbers union appears on the bal
lot in this district. Mr.. Bennett is
now employed by the United States
Employment SERVE. and on this ac-
count it has become necessary for him
to withdraw from tho race. In doing
so Mr.. Bennett urges his friends to
. support Hugh Fawcett and Frank
Scribner as against w. A. Pittinger,
the other candidate. Mr.. Pittinger
has bad labor record. He was not a
friend to labor legislation in the last
session and we have been given no as
surance that he will be any different
if he is elected this time.
In the Fifty-ninth district, The La
Dor World could do nothing less than
heartily support William L. Bernard
for reelection to the state house of
representatives. A working man him.
self, one who knows from personal ex-
perlence the contentious Of the man
who works with his hands, Mr.. Ber-
nard, in his career as legislator, has
always stood valiantly for legislation
which would favor the working man.
= He is the kind that stands without
question or hitching for what he be-
lieves is right, and no amount of in
fluence will swerve him. His past rec
ord is recommendation enough to war
rant asking support for him, and it is
safe to predict that he will continue
to add to that good record no matter
what questions arise. William 3.
Getchell, also a candidate for the
house in that district, is one of those
who has always been favorable to la

WAGON DEALERS

From Mines As Money Making
Proposition to Sign Blanks.

Wagon coal dealers, or those
who use wagons to haul coal from
the nearby mines and then return
to Rock Island and sell it are to be
registered as are all retail coal
dealers, II. A. CIevenstine, chair
man of the Rock Island county fuel
board said today.
They also must be registered on
or before Oct. 5, or they are liable
to be stopped from doing business,
he said further.
However, people who use wagons
to haul coal from the mines and
then do not sell what they have
once purchased but place in their
own homes are exempt from the
registration requirement.
Application blanks for the wagon
coal dealers to use in registering
may be obtained from any of the
following parties:
H A Clevenstine, Rock Island.

DRIVE FOR OLD
CLOTHING OPEN
Rock Island Red Cross Chapter Be-
gins Campaign 10 Secure Dis
carded Garments.

The Rock Island chapter, Amer
ican Red Cross, is today launching
campaign for old clothing for the
refugees OF Belgium and France.
IN this the chapter is acting in con-
cert with the other chapters of the
country in the nationwide drive,
which is taking place this week.
AS citizens are well aware, one
campaign has but recently been
completed under the direction of
the Woman's Trade Union league
and at the request OF the Iowa state
representative OF the Belgium re-
lief commission. The relief COM
mission depends, however, on the
American Red Cross for the great
bulk of refugee clothing; and the
Red Cross has pledged itself to
clothe 100000 sufferers this win
ter.
Rock Island chapter has there
fore been assigned share in the
national old clothing drive. And
because it knows that there are
still old yet serviceable garments
coming to light with fall house
cleanings, the chapter has accepted
its quota and Is determined to make
good on It.
Sixteen rural branches of the 10
cal chapter were scarcely Euched
in the city campaign Of last month.
They are expected to do a large
share.
All garments should be brought
to the relief station which will be
opened early tomorrow morning at
310-312 Twentieth street. A tele-
phone is being installed; meantime
information can be secured by call
ing Red Cross headquarters, and
arrangements can be made to have
large bundles called for. NJ. c. Rice
has been appointed chairman of the
drive and all is in readiness to care
for the goods.
Every kind OF garment is want
ed Clothing for children, for IN
fants, for adults-all sorts are
needed. The only articles which
cannot be used are those containing
rubber, as raincoats or rubber
boots; stiff hats, whether mems or
women's, and garments of flimsy
material.
All articles should be clean,
strong and durable. If they pos
sess these qualities it makes no diff
ference how old they are or wheth
er they are in good repair. The
refugee women are glad to earn a
bit by making over and mending
old clothing.
Piece goods will also be gladly
received; pieces Of flannel suitable
for infants clothing and any wool
en- goods.
Every citizen must have some
thing he can give, even though he
has already searched his wardrobe
in previous drives. The campaign
begins tomorrow, it closes Sept. 30.
The Red Cross is expecting Rock Is
land to make good; and with the
cooperation of everyone, it will.

OF using converted army posts and
federal hospitals and also the
building and equipping of special
military hospitals. This, he said,
would seem to be consistent with
economy and with efficiency of
