PRICE
FOR ICE RATES
CUTS DEMAND
Especial Moline service.1


Moline residents will see an in
crease of 10 cents a hundred
pounds for retail ice this week.
The advance ina cost will hit the
large consumer as hard as the
housewife. Dealers claim they had
,, to do it and they point to a 81 a
ton increase in wholesale prices
since April 1. The price to city
consumers is now $3.50 a 1000
pounds.
Although the summer season is
nearly six weeks gone the ice men
claim they have sold as much ice
at the beginning of July as they
had at the last of the first week a
year ago. Last week one ice COM
pany increased its distribution 100
tons over the previous seven day
period
The new price, marks an advance
of 81 over last summers highest
rate which was $3.50 per 1000
pounds. This year ice went up to
$3.50 at the beginning of the sea-
son and a few days ago the ice
dealers announced the second in
crease. The Midland Ice and Fuel
company announced its $3.50 rate
last week, followed later in the
week by the announcement of the
increase by Markee Fuel Co., and
today the Moline Consumers Com
pany announced their increase.

STEVENS
GIVEN so DAYS
IN COUNTY JAIL
Judge is Easier on Bertha Hack.
Who Couldn't Keep Away From
AnOther's Husband.

A sentence of so days in Jail was
melted out to Peter Stevens in coun-
ty court this morning by Judge n.
A Larson. Bertha Hack was treat
ed with less severity, her stay IN
the county lookup being shortened
to Is days.
Peter, who conducts a soft drink
establishment at Barstow, and
Bertha, could not keep away from
each other, even though they had
been warned to do so by the judge
upon the occasion of their first ap-
pearance in court on a charge Of
misconduct, when they were per-
mitted to retain their liberty unue-
such an order.
However, both admitted having
forgotten the terms of their parole
on the previous charge when ar
raigned this morning.
Peter is the head of a family,
and Bertha is the mother of anotAer
family. The fact that Mrs. Hack
has two small daughters who need
her attention, while the Stevens
family is living without the support
of the father, accounts for the IN
equal terms of sentence. Mrs
Hacks husband expressed his IN
tention of moving elsewhere with
his wife and children as soon as
her stay in Jail is finished.
When entering his plea to the
charge, Stevens expressed concern
as to the ability of Mrs. Hack to
understand the proceedings, put
was treasured by the judge on that
point.
'She knows what it means all
right" said the judge. Let her talk
to her husband; it will do her
good" Mrs. Hack was then en-
gagged in animated conversation
with the husband.
This prompted Stevens to ask if
he was privileged TO talk with his
wife.
Sure" responded the Judge" go
ahead. If you had refrained from
talking to other mems wives and
spoke with your wife more, you
wouldn't be facing me in this
trouble today"

BOARD GIVES A
WAGE INCREASE
TO The ICEMEN
Arbitration Committee Agrees On
Increase of IS Per Week for
Ice Wagon Workers.

A settlement between ice dealers
and employees was reached this
morning in a conference at the city
hall when the arbitration board
granted the union men an increase
to SIS and SGT a week for helpers
and drivers, over the present wage
of $22 and $24.
H c. Schaffer, former mayor of
Rock Island, who sat with repre-
sentatives from both sides, helped
the two factions to get together on
the new scale. William kellogg,
representing the employees, de-
manded $26 and $28, and was at
first firm in his stand Albert D.
Huesing of the Rock Island Arti-
ficial Ice company, represented the
dealers.
Mr.. Schaffer held that a letter
signed by officers of teamsters' To-
cal No. 295, was still good The
letter is an agreement between the
two parties to a wage of S22 and
s24 a wPek, binding until June l.,
1920. !
After the conference kellogg said
that he was satisfied with the
agreement. He had demanded more
and still believes that the men are
entitled to- a greater increase, but
accepts the contract as the best
that could be done by an arbitra-
ton board.
The action of Mr.. Schaffer was
perfectly satisfactory, he said, and
a fair decision was given in the
question.
An amendment was made to the
original contract granting the
agreed wage scale until April 1,
1920,
Strike Was Wrong.
Mr.. Schaffer also held that the
men should have given the dealers
longer notice of their intentions to
demand new wages. kellogg said
that if they were wrong it was by
a mere technicality, as the men
were conscientious in believing
they had a right to strike under
the circumstances. He also said
that the wage granted is less than
what the men were getting in July
last year, at which time the dealers
paid $50 a week during the heav-
lest working season.

FORMER COB ASKS
RELIEF FROM HIS
VOWS AS HUSBAND

line returned home on a furlough
from service IN the United States

aration on statutory grounds. The
