A physician may prescribe as
much as one quart OF wine or
liquor for one OF his patients, ac-
cordihg to the instructions from
Washington received by the local
internal revenue office.
A physician, however, may not
prescribe alcoholic liquors for any
one excepting patients under his
constant care and supervision.
The physician is to be required
to make out all liquor prescriptions
in duplicate, signing both copies
with his signature, and both
physicians and pharmacists are re-
quired to keep full records of such
prescriptions, with names, ad-
dresses and dates clearly inscrib-
ed. Pharmacists are required to
make monthly reports from those
records TO the U. s. internal reve-
nue. Office.
Pharmacists should refuse to
fill a liquor prescription if they
have reason to believe that the ply
stefan is dispensing liquor for 9TH
er than legitimate medicinal uses,
or that the patient submitting the
prescription is obtaining excessive
quantities of liquor through pre-

The revenue commissioner orders
that collection of liquor taxes be
continued, but that each taxpayer
be notified that payment of liquor
taxes does not confer immunity
from prosecution for violation of
the prohibition laws.
Enforcement of the prohibition
law is within the Jurisdiction OF

officials, and they are instructed to
report to the U. s. attorney general

Colonel Jordan Is In Washington
C0nferring With Officials of
War Department.

Despite announcement made at
Rock Island arsenal Tuesday to
the effect that no orders had been
received to cut down the working
force. it is rumored that a large
percentage of employees are to be
given indefinite layoffs.
This means they will not be dis
charged outright, but will continue

they will be off duty without pay.
Colonel Harry B. Jordan, com
mandant, is now in Washington,
and it is understood he is there for
the purpose of reaching a conclu-
sion with war department officials
as to a definite peace time basis
for the arsenal.
Pending word from Colonel Jor-
dan, it is probable that workers
will be laid of in wholesale order.
Further rumor has it that already

Company Indicates It VIII
Not Be Able to Meet
Request of Union.

Unless a wage figure favorable
to the employees can be secured
through arbitration, all motormen
and conductors on the cars OF the
TTi-City Railway company will
cease work Friday, Aug. 1.
This action will at once tie up
the Tri-City Railway company Of Il
linois, Tri-City Railway company
of Iowa, Moline, Rock Island and
Eastern Traction company and the
Clinton, Davenport and Muscatine
Railway company.
The men refuse to return to the
former rate of SO, 50 and 40 cents
per hour. They express 1issatis-
faction with the present rates-46,
4S and so cents per hour, and their
new demand, arrived at last night,
is II, 70 and rs cents.
The company has indicated that
it cannot and will not pay more
money than the old rate. A strike
is thought certain.
In a meeting at 1880 this morn
ing the carmen voted not to return
to the original rates in force two
months ago. On June an agree
ment was made by the men and the
company to adhere to a wage scale
of As, 4S and so cents until Aug. l,
action from then on depending
for the company-upon the action
of the Illinois utilities commission
in the matter of raising street car
fares to cents. The company no.
titled its workers that it would be
forced to revert to the former
schedule Aug. 1, at the time the un-
favorable decision of the commits
sion was given out The objections
of the men were set forth in a let
ter from the unions to which they
belong and presented to the com
pany this morning, following the
meeting of the carmen. This COM
munication follows:
The agreement signed on the
9th of June, 1919, between the
above named companies and the
employees of said companies will
expire Aug. 1, 1919, as far as the
wage question is concerned and the
wage scale will revert back to SO,
So and 40 cents for a nine hour day.
I'VE, therefore, take this oppor-
tunity of expressing our views on
the matter. Under the present
conditions we find that it is impos-
sible for US to maintain ourselves

tered Men and Every Other
List Under Sun.

Congress is going to be called
on after the holiday recess for leg
islation to dispose OF the great
mass OF records and valuable pa
pers which came into being Incl
dent to the war.
Not since the nation had its birth
have so many records been made.
They include the records of 10000
900 men in the first and subsequent
drafts, the $4,000, 900 who later reg
istered for the draft, a pacifist list,
an alien list, a Stacker list, a Lib
erty loan list, a Red Cross list, a
proflteer list, a spy list, and Just
about every sort Of list under the
sun.
Probably no nation ever had such
a season of making records.
What is to become of these rec
ords? That is the question which
will be put up to congress.
The library OF congress has TAX
en- a hand in the matter and pre-
pared q report showing the exist

Tokio.-So difficult is it to OBJ
tain passage on any steamer for
the United States or Canada that
advertisements are beginning to
appear in the newspapers Offering
a premium for cabins or berths al
ready reserved. The overcrowd-
ing is due to the fact that a large

that many foreign residents are

Strike Certain as Men
Give Company OneWeek
To Meet Higher Demand

and our families in health and rea-
sonable comfort.
Men Have Been Considerable.
I'VE have made many sacrifices
during the past year and cannot
continue tos do SO in justice to our
selves and our families. We have
tried to refrain from placing the
companies in any embarrassing po-
sition with the public and further,
we have tried TO protect the COM
panies' interest, feeling that by SO
doing we would at least receive
some definite consideration when
time came
I'VE realize that a public service
corporation should at all times be
the servant of the public and be-
cause of this we have tried to keep
the service in such shape to best
serve the people in getting them to
and from their employment. From
the Official information we have OBJ
tanned from you it will be impos-
sible for the railway companies to
pay any higher rate under the pres
ent rate of fares, and inasmuch as
the companies have refused to ne
gotiate any further in meeting our
demands, 1t will be necessary to go
step further and compel an adj
justment of the wage scale. Unless
some definite arrangement can be
made between now and Aug. 1, 1913,
no other alternative is open to us
than to strike and unless our de-
mands are met to give US scale of
wages in accordance with living
conditions by that time strike will
be called and entire system will
be at a standstill.
1.-The scale under which we will
continue to operate the system aft
er Aug 1, 1919, is as follows:
''Trainmen in city service-71, 70
and rs cents.
"Trainmen in interurban SER
vice-76, 78 and 80 cents.
Barn and shipments scale to be
as the trainmen on the city lines.
Trainmen on the Muscatine city
lines-68. 20 and ~ cents"
Situation Is Deadlock.
The men base their claims and
demands upon their right to liv-
ing wage. The company bases its
refusal upon its right to a profit.
The men claim they cannot decent
ly live upon either of the scales of
wages paid heretofore and that
they must have more, that if they
don't they must seek new fields of
work wherein they can get the nee
essary money. The company says
operation under the present fare
a-d 18th 4ba fporaacod ooSf ~ ifc
labor item will force it to operate
without any gain, perhaps even
with a deficit. and is preparing f1g-
ures and statements to this effect
for publication tomorrow.

CARS MUST USE
Third AVENUE,
MAYORS ORDER
Tri-City Company Seems Indlffer-
ent 10 Ultimatnm on Paving Be-
tween Its Track.

With the strike Of street railway
employees looked upon as certain on
Friday of next week, and Mayor
Schriyer still firm on his order that
the company will not be permitted
to operate over Second avenue I'M
less the paving is repaired by Sat-
urday night, the Tri-City Railway
company ofhcials have assumed an
attitude of letting things come as
they may.
Whether or not the meeting OF
directors Of the United Railway &
Light company in Davenport yes
terdAy is responsible for the chang
ed front of the company, is not
known.
It was stated today that two
things are certain to happen:
The creoeote wood paving
blocks between the tracks on
Second avenue will not be re-
paired by the company by Sat-
urday as the mayors order
called for
The mayor will make good
on the order and will on Sat
urday order the company off
its Second avenue track,
forcing all cars to operate over
Third avenue.
There is some question whether
or not the city will not order the
company to repair between tracks
on Third avenue, too, as the paw
ing is in bad shape.
But the company seems indiffer-
ent to the mayors order and has
taken the attitude that IL ordered
of the tracks, it will comply and
make the best Of 1t on Third ave-
nue..
Strike Seems Sure.
1t is practically certain, too, that
the company will not pay the men
more than 80 cents an hour, the
old rate of pay which becomes eff
fective on Aug. 1. The men have
voted to strike practically, If no
more money is given them.
B. ]. Denman, president Of the
company, is in Washington at
tending a meeting Of traction COM
pany officials with government
heads, and General Manager John
G. Huntoon is in New York.
