LABOR REPORT
SHOWS DEMAND
ABOVE SUPPLY
This Applies TO Common Labor,
But Skilled Workmen Ex-
pected to Be in Demand.

Demand for common labor con-
tinues heavy. and presents a prob
lem to the Illinois free employ
ment Office to solve.
In the report for last week, the
Office states that the supply is less
than the demand. In the matter
of farm work, however, the slack
period is at hand due to the fact
that farmers are well supplied with
labor.
Call for skilled labor in the last
few weeks has been comparatively
light, but as a number of factories
will be opening this week, the de-
mand for skilled workmen in the
tri-cities is expected to pick up.
The call for domestic help is also
greater than the supply at present.
Enough Harvest Hands.
Reports from the harvest fields
of the northwest indicate a great
surplus of labor in that section.
Harvest in South Dakota has been
disappointing, only about one-half
the crop being available for mar
ket.
Figures for the past week show
applications from Az men and $50
of them filled. Seventy-five women
sought work and SIS were placed i'll
positions.

Rock Island county farmers with.

SILvIS WORKERS
|. NOT TO STRIKE
RumOr That Employees of Rock Is
land Road Had Delivered
UuItmatum UnfOunded.

Rumors around the village of
Silvis and in the tri-cities that an
ultimatum had been delivered by
the employees of the Silvis shop de-
handing higher wages or a threat
to unanimously strike on Aug. l,
we're dispelled today when word
from the head office of the Silvis
shops denied all statements.
It was stated at the Office of s.
w. Mullinix, superintendent of the
shops, that such talk has been pre-
valent for the last several months,
but that there is no truth in the
rumors.
Superstition is that the ultimatum
delivered by the car men of the Tri-
City Railway company, in which
they threatened TO strike next Fri
day unless their demands are heed
ed, was mistaken by some to mean
that employees of the Rock Island
road at the SiIvis shops made the
threat.

SEEKING HEALTH
Nothing Helped Mrs. Teas TIL She
Took TanIae-TOld Opera
ton Was Only Hope.

''I tried for five long years to find
something that would overcome my
troubles, and during the past year
| spent five hundred dc liars ror
but never got any re-
lief at all until l commenced taking
Tanlac," said Mrs. Clarence Teas,
who lives at 1908 Colorado Ave-,
Kansas City, Mo. the other day.
81 was certainly respondent over
my condition when I began taking
Tanlac," continued Mrs. Teas, for
l had just had an X-ray examina-
ton and was told that I would
never get well unless 1 underwent
an operation My kidneys were in
bad condition, and I suffered ter
ribIy with pains in the small of my
hack, and frequently had bad spells
of sick headaches. l had stomach
trouble, too, and everything 1 ate
would disagree with me, and fin
ally got to where II was hard mat
ter for me to retain what little l did
eat l often had severe cramping
spells which we're caused by gas
forming from sour, undigested food.
NY condition just gradually got
worse until I was very weak and
run down.
81 had been reading about the
good Tanlac was doing so many
people right here in Kansas City,
decided to give it a trial and it
proved to be just the medicine
needed. Why, have actually gained
ten pounds, and I have only taken
three bottles. My kidneys seem to
be in perfect condition, and the
stomach trouble has been COM
SS1etely overcome. have a fine ap-
petite, and can eat meats and pas
tries. and many other things l did
not dare touch before, and I never
suffer a particle afterwards. get
plenty of good, restful sleep every
night. and in fact. I am just as free
from pain and suffering as I ever
was. and feel fine I'll the time. Tan
lac is a wonderful medicine and Will
certainly do just what they say it
will
Tanlac is sold in Rock Island by

pected q. s. Official.

Action toward settling the strike
OF $50 telephone operators and
linemen at the Central Union
Telephone company is awaited in
the appearance Of a government
mediator.
Commissioner Jasper ]. Barrett,
who has been instructed to come
to Rock Island in connection with
the strike. is expected at any time.
The girl operators and linemen
themselves have been unable to
reach an agreement with the tele-
phone company, the company still
refusing to recognize their union.
A conference was held by the two
factions Saturday afternoon, with
the usual result that both sides
stood firm and refused to grant
concessions.
1t was stated today at the tele-
phone Office that Manager Thomas
S. Brown was out of the city, but
no information was given as to his
Mission Certain union members
said they thought he had gone TO
Galesburg, Ill He is expected back
some time this afternoon.
Hope for Settlement Soon.
Mayor H NJ Schriver holds out
hope that the strike may be settled
within a few days. The govern
ment mediator will confer with
the mayor and it is believed that he
will make recommendations to the
secretary of labor as to action to be
taken at Washington
In the meantime the union men
and company officials are waging
fight to force concessions. The
union men have threatened to re-
move telephones from their homes
if the wage demands are not given
by Saturday The company has re-
fused to even confer with them as
a union and is still furnishing
telephone communication despite
practically all former workers on
Arike
Nhe union men claim that a gov
eminent mediator is decidedly to
their advantage, as they will not
be forced to accept decision of the
government officials, while the
company may be ordered to make
concessions.
A telegram received Saturday
from Congressman Graham init
mated that the government may
rule that the dispute be settled by
the company and strikers, the
meaning of the communication
being vague.

BONDING COMMITTEE
HAS FIRST MEETING

The new bonding committee for the
county belt line scheme of hard roads
held its first meeting at the court
house last Friday evening. Those
present were: Henry Mink, Chair
man, T. HI. Williams, Hazel Green;
w. n. Smith, Platteville; r. N. Hos

vile; David James, MOntfort.
The committee met with the county

gan the formation of the routes for
the permanent system Of hard roads.
Commissioner Mink has instructed
to draw up a road plan connecting ev-
cry market town in the county, the
same to be submitted to the commit
tee for discussion and approval Such
a system will involve about 410 miles
OF road which includes the present
and proposed state trclk line patrol
system of 1876 miles. a other words
the inner county system of roads will
cover 225 miles.
Some Interesting Figures.
State Engineer Donaghey present
ed tentative costs for such a hard
road system. These Figures are as
follows:
Ito miles of Is and Is foot con-
crete road at 100000 per mile
$3,30O,O0O.
$50 miles of 9 foot concrete road
with foot shoulders of stone on each
side at $4,000 per mile So, 500, 900.
14O miles of earth roads, graded
only, with binder on excessively slip
perry places, at $4,000 per mile
S1,120,OOO
The total costs of such a system is
$7,940,000. Deducting estimated state
and federal aid of $455, 900, balance
$7,485, 900.
The committee will hold a meet
ing in a week or more to make its
permanent draft of road plan to
be submitted to the county board.
To Employ More PatrOlmen.
One road matter of keen interest is
that the county board will be asked
to begin patrol work on the entire
system of trunk and inner county
roads when the season opens next
year. This will involve the employ
ment of thirty additional men. There
will be forty-one patrolmen on 40
miles of highway in the county.

COUNCIL RULES OUT
" PER CENT DRINK

= Is a drink containing one half of
one per cent inconf1ict with the state
law applying to liquor sales in dry
territory? The city council Of Ian
caster says it is.
Last Wednesday the council met at
the behest of Mayor Bailie and in
structed Chief Mankel to notify all
vendors of drinks that no article con-
tanning any degree of alcohol could
be sold from then on. Such vendors
were so notified by the Chief of Po-
lice.
The councils stand is based upon
ruling by Attorney General Blaine
who states that malt liquors contain
ing alcohol to any. amount or in any
degree cannot be sold without the
regular legal license, whether such
liquors are called "near-beer" or by
whatever name they are called.
Lancaster is dry territory and as
such cannot issue license "Near-
beer" has been sold in several plac-
es here for the past four years with
out license.
