COAL SHIPMENTS ARE
TO BE HURRIED ALONG

The coal situation and the necessity
for prompt dispatching of cars of coal
was one Oft the matters up for discus
sion before the Rock Island sub-com-
mlttee Of the American Railway asso-
citation, special committee of national
defense at the meeting held at the
Rock Island club Saturday afternoon
Chairman Daniel Coughlin advised that
the men make every effort to get coal
through during the present coal short
age.
Criticism of some of the roads has
been made because it was thought
they were hauling other merchandise
out OF proportion to the amount of
coal in the present coal crisis. E. l..
Goff of the Rock Island, in speaking
of this, stated that the criticism is
unjust. He stated that naturally much
other freight may be seen in transit,
as coal is mostly moving in one direc-
ton and other shipments must make
up the trains in opposite direction.
Mr.. Golf added that where a solid
train of coal can be made up it is
hauled, but if there is not sufficient
coal for a train other cars are nat
urally picked up. Also certain freight
has priority over coal, for instance,
government merchandise and food
stuffs.

HARPER BAR OPEN
IN SPITE ORDERS
ISSUED BY BOARD
This fragrant Violation Only One Re.
ported Among Saloons in Rock
Island Today.
FORCED TO CLOSE Up LATER
II. A. Cleyenstine. Chairman Local
Body, Visits Hotel and Puts
Ban On Selling Liquor.

But one violation to the closing or
der issued to the local saloons, pur-
suant to instructions from the United
States fuel administrator, was re-
ported today.
H. A. Clevenstine, chairman OF the
local fuel commission, received tip
that the Harper house saloon was
operating. He went to investigate and
found a fragrant violation at this bar.
The saloon was wide open and at least
forty customers were lined up along
the bar and drinks were being served
them by the bartenders. Mr.. eleven
slime ordered the bar to close immed
lately, which it did.
He questioned the management OF
the hotel to learn why the closing or
der was not obeyed. The excuse given
was that they thought they could keep
open. inasmuch as the remainder OF
the building had to be heated anyway
for hotel purposes. There was no heat
in the radiators in the saloon.
Furthermore. the management OF
the saloon opened in spite of the
stringent orders issued by the Rock
Island Retail Liquor Dealers associa-
ton. The association Saturday sent
out letters to every local saloonkeeper
who is a member, ordering that the
saloons be closed tight and no liquor
sold on Mondays. In fact, the order
was signed by the manager of the
Harper bar. who was on the commit
tee of the liquor dealers.
Mr.. Clevenstine stated today thai
he regretted very much the action Of
this one bar in keeping open in viola
ton Of the orders, inasmuch as the
saloonkeepers in general and the asso
citation had shown a disposition to bt
perfectly fair in the matter and CO
operate as much as possible in thu
present emergency.
Three other saloons were reportef
to be open, but Mr. Clevenstine foun(
the rumors to be untrue, as the place!
in question were closed when he wen
TO investigate.
One local saloonkeeper Saturda.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1918-01-21

questioned the authority of the local
fuel board to force the saloons to
force saloons to open at 8 o'clock in
the morning. This man was called be-
fore the board and told in plain terms
the law on this subject. When he left
he was quite convinced that the board
had the necessary power.
Harper On Two Counts.
The Harper house hotel manage
ment further violated the closing or
der by allowing the cigar stand in
the lobby to operate. Mr.. Clevenstine
gave it five minutes to close. The
cigar stand in the lobby at the Colon
ial hotel was also open for business,
and was forced to close. All other
cigar stores and pool rooms in the
loop were closed and observing the or
der strictly,

Fact That Theatres Keep Open Helps
Many TO Pass Time During

Rock Island periodically set about
today to observe the first Monday hol-
iday under the fuel administration
orders.
With business practically at stand
still and the streets having the appear
ance of dull Sabbath morning, the
people of the city were given constant
reminder that the nation is at war
and sacrifices, big and little, must be
made.
The situation was not as bad as
many had thought it would be. Thea
tres, being permitted to be open today
and closed tomorrow, local folk found
something to pass the time away. 9th
erwise the day would have proved dull
for many.
Stores Close at Noon.
H. A. Clevenstine today speaking of
the manner in which the public in
general co-Operated in the fuel or

Business men of Rock Island in
general decided to play safe. Fully 80
per cent of the grocery stores were
closed at noon, although there was a
statement in the press that they could
remain open until evening"
