NEWSY SAYS HE
WAS BESTED In
AUTO EXCHANGE
Now IsadOre Andich Hired a Law
yer TO Bring Back the Fruit
OF His. Hard LabOrs.

There's a difference" says Isa-
dore Andich, between selling
newspapers and trying to get the
best in an automobile"
Evidently "Izzy" leaped before
he looked when he gave a livver
chassis in exchange for a Saxon
roadster owned by b. r. Farber.
Instinct would not permit him TO
resist the impulse to make the
trade, says Isadore-who. by the
way, is the lad who conducts "a
popular news stand and knows
which is your favOrite paper
IsadOre's troubles were brought
to light this morning when a re-
.pleYin suit was filed in circuit court.
1t appears that "IzZy' saved and
saved to buy the chassis. which be
intended 10 clothe with a nice body
as soon as he had saved some more
pennies. He spotted the roadster.
a fine little car he thought just
right for his complete enjoyment
Thereon, considerable dickering
with the owner and the ultimate
trade.
And then "Izzy's" savings ac-
count began 10 dwindle as the road
ster developed an attack Of engin-
titus and cried loudly for the atten
tions of an expert doc" He had
got the worst of the trade, Isadorc
reasoned. He sought a lawyer and
confided in that worthy's receptive
ear all his woes. The newsy, be-
ing a minor, it is claimed the trade
does not hold good in law, and
therefore the suit to recover the
chassis, which is now in the care
of the sheriff clothed in a cute
little racing design body.

PRIZE BOUT FOR
THE BENEFIT OF
PHONE STRIKERS

Another benefit plan is being ar
ranged by MEMBERS OF the local
telephone employees unions to in
crease their funds to carry on a
strike for higher wages.
This time, a prize fight is plan
ned. Babe Meanor, a local promot-
er, has been given charge of the oc-
casion to arrange fighters and per-
feet details for the occasion.
The city has promised the strik-
ers use of the ball park for the
night of Aug. -. when the bout is
scheduled TO take place. Police pro-
lection will also be furnished.
Tickets for the occasion will be

Resolution

Whereas, Our heavenly Father in
His infinite wisdom and unerring
judgment, has transferred from the
church militant to the church tri-
umphant, our beloved superintend-
eut, Franklin Devillo Taylor, one
who had the Sunday school at
heart, interested in its growth and
every phase of it's work and whose
devotion to it knew no bounds. one
= whose personality won the hearts
of all children as well as grown
ups. therefore, be it resolved:
First, That while we bow sub
missively to this sad dispensation,
realizing that Divine Providence
doeth all things well, we deeply la
ment his absence and recognize
that in his passing to the life be-
yond our church and Sunday school
have sustained an irreparable loss.
That we will ever cherish the mem
DRY of such a character and strive
to emulate the beautiful life that
he led, pointing to the Lamb of
God that taketh away the sin of
the world"
Second, That we express our
gratitude to God for having the as
ISOLATION of this brother in our
midst for about thirteen years; that
a character so strong, so pure, so
true and a life so filled with good
deeds cannot fail to have a lasting
influence for good in our commu-
nifty and upon all with whom he
was associated
Third, That we extend to his de-
voted wife and loving children our
heartfelt sympathy and pray that
God may heal their crushed and
broken hearts and help them to
look to the time of meeting again
where there will no parting or sor-
row.
Fourth, That these resolutions
be presented to the bereaved fam
lily, a copy be sent to the Rich
mond Christian Advocate, Tidewa-
ter News, Wakefield Enterprise and
The Rock Island Argus, for publi-
cation, and a copy be placed upon
the Sunday school of Ivor MethO-
dist church.

Ass MEETING
|. FOR REMOVING
! OF TELEPHONES
Union Leaders Are Indignant at
Telegram From Government
at Last Moment.


a mass meeting is to be called
soon to make definite plans as tO
the taking out of all telephones in
the homes of union men in Rock Is
land, Moline and East Moline.
Inability of the $50 employees OF
the Central Union Telephone com
pany to secure an agreement with
the officials even as to points Of ar
bitration is leading to strenuous
tactics on the part of the men.
The linemen and girl operators
have decided that there is no
chance to reach an immediate
agreement with the company and
that their plan of attack now will
be to take more active measures IN
their fight for higher wages.
1t was decided at a mass meeting
last Sunday that telephones would
be removed from union men s
homes unless an agreement could
have been reached by yesterday.
no agreement with the company
could be secured during the last
week despite the fact that the union
men were willing to arbitrate on all
points. The company will not
give them the right to arbitrate as
q recognized union H. D. Smith,
business agent for the strikers,
said that a mass gathering was be
ing arranged to disrupt phone
service
The opinion was expressed by
union leaders yesterday that Miss
Mae Matthews, leading picket of the
national body of telephone opera
tors, would not be in Rock Island
soon. 1t is understood that she has
been arrested in St Louis, where
she was carrying on a campaign
against a phone corporation.
Indignant Over Telegram.
Notice has been given the strik-
ers that unless they return to work
by Monday steps will be taken by
ethe company to fill their places.
>-,In connection with the notice a
telegram from ]. c. Rooms, assist
ant postmaster general, was quoted
by District Manager Thomas S.
Brown as follows:
Thoroughly approve position
taken by local manager Rock Is
land situation. Would notify en-
ployes unless they return to duty
steps will be taken to fill their
places" Mr. Brown has served no
tice that unless the employees re-
turn to work Monday their places
will be filled and they will be
treated as ex-employes.
The union men are up in arms
at this communication from the
government. It was dated July 81,
the last day in which the govern
ment controlled the telephone lines.
Now the postof1ce department has
no authority to deal with the sit
uation, union leaders say.
In spite of this discomforting
message the men declare they will
win out eventually. Funds for the
carrying on of their operations and
support of girls during the strike
period have been secured. A prize
fight is planned for further funds.
The fight is being managed by Babe
Meanor, scheduled for Aug. IL at
the ball park.
Telephone service has been grow
ing worse during the last few days.

Authentic information was gain
ed this morning that the job of
giving lifts to walkers belongs to
a certain group of fellow mortals.
They are as follows: The owners
of wheeled conveyances; the wheel
ed conveyance owners possessing
the milk of human kindness and
the virtue of a chronic helping
hand.
Not all pedestrians feel justified
in stopping an auto merely to get
a ride and auto owners, during this
time of chaotic transportation con-
ditions, must see to it that the less
fortunate be given aid. Pick up the
walker and set him down some
place nearer his destination if you
can't get him all the way.
