No Basis for Negotiation.

basis of negotiation for the settle

was eliminated yesterday when tho
harbor workers withdrew their case from
the National War Labor Board. This
surprised the boat owners. for the case
had already been tried and the award
given that according to judicial pro-
cedure should have ended the dispute
But word was received yesterday BY
Paul Bonynge, counsel for the private
boat owners. that the National War
Labor Board had erased the case from
its docket.
There is no chance now that settle

about by further arbitration by the

Demands of Strikers.

Aside from the demand that the COM
pany sign a contract with the union as
such, thereby recognizing It's employees
as part Of the Analgamated. the strikers
want nine hours of work for ten
hours pay, with all work in excess of
scheduled runs considered as overtime
and paid for at the 'time and half"
rate, They also want $40 a week instead
OF the present $3.50 for all extra men
who answer the rollcall, whether they
are sent out on cars or not. Mr..
OToole said that the minimum wage Is
now $3.50 a week
The conductor or motormau gets Al
cents an hour during the first three
months, 43 cents for the second three
months and 40 cents thereafter. He
works ten hours day and can keep at it
six or seven days a week. as he chooses.
The older men. working ten hours a day
six days in the week, earn S27. BY not
taking day Off and working overtime a
few make as much as $50 a week.
The union leaders say the reason for
their declining to submit all the ques-
lions to the War Labor Board is that
the board has consistently refused to
pass on the question of unionisrn, which

FACES II MORE
Rock Island GHnman Sentenced TO
Iowa Penitentiary in DaE-
export Court.
STOLE FURS FOR HIS WIFE
She in Turn Takes Defective to
Station and Points Out Her
Husband.

With - years Of an unserveG SEN
tence facing him when he leaves
prison, James Lawrence LaFond,
Rock Island gunman, desperate
and ex-convict, was sentenced to
the state penitentiary at Fort Mad
ison for an indeterminate term of
not to exceed five years.
LaF'ond was arrested some time
ago for stealing furs with which
he boldly decorated the woman
, who barely a year ago became his
war bride The story reads like
page torn from a dime novel.
LaFond is one of the convicts
who was paroled from an Illinois
prison in order that he might work
at the Rock Island arsenal. He
reached the arsenal with other pris-
oners and soon after his arrival he
wooed and won the hand OF a Rock
Island young woman after a fur
ious courtship OF one day. He
was recently released from the ar
senal and prepared to go east.
On Feb. 81, LaFond visited 4
rocming house at 3041h West Third
l.
engaging temporary quarters. No
one being about the halls he I'M
locked a room occupied by two
young women employed at the
Dairy Lunch. He found a set OF
furs belonging to the girls, some
tewelry. a crepe waist and other
fnery including a suit case.
Search Place.
When the young women returned
they missed the furs. Upon max
, ing an examination they found that
the room had been rifed. Suppos-
ing that some one in the building
had committed the act a warrant
was secured and the place was
searched
Several days later one OF the
young women met a stranger On
the street decorated with her furs.
She stopped the stranger and asked
her where she got them.
From my husband" was the re-
ply. He bought them for me-"
The owner made the stranger ac-
company her to the police station
and the situation was explained to
TO police 1t was learned that La
Fond and his wife intended to
leave for Chicago the same after
noon. Accompanied by an officer
Mrs. LaFond went to the depot ami
pointed out her husband. When
arrested he was armed with a gun
OF large caliber and a detectives
badge.
Efforts to get line on LaFond's
past were unsuccessful although
the county prosecutors were salts
fed that he had a record. The
case was turned over to Realff
Ottesen, assistant county attorney
but he failed to get the goods on
the man and LaFOnd insisted that
he had no criminal past. LaFond,
however, agreed to plead guilty to
the charge of larceny and take his
medicine rather than stand trial.
At his hearing before Judge
William Theophilus in Davenport
LaFond under pressure brought 20
bear by the prosecutor, admitted
that he vas a paroled convict from
Illinois. He said that he served
81 months of a 14-year sentence
imposed at Chicago when he was
paroled. Besides the gun found in
LAFond's possession he had an
other cannon slowed away in the
stolen suit case which he had left
for safe keeping in a local pool
room.
He was sentenced to Fort Madi-
son for not to exceed five years.

OLD WINDOW SHADES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Here are
some useful recipes:
When worn window shades are re-
placed by new ones we do not discard
the old ones, if there are open shelves
anywhere in the house which we
should like enclosed. Fasten frame
above the top shelf and to this attach
the shade exactly as it was put up al
the window, draw the shade down in
front of the shelves. 1t is much easier
to roll up this shade than to push
aside curtains hung on rods. Open
shelves in the stereFoom are often
handler than cupboards, but they have
way of appearing very disorderly
With window shades drawn before
them the rooms take on neat and
orderly appearance. This makes a
handy way to darhen open shelves In
the cellar where canned FRUIT is stored
When the shades are raised it is much
easier to choose the fruit than from a
dark and enclosed cupboard.
Clean linen. both indoors and out, is
very needful in getting rid OF flies
Clean up ali rubbish in back yard and
keep the garbage pail covered. Com
mence early to swat the peslsy things
in the spring before they get SO nu-
merous that it seems an endless job te
get rid of them.
It is vain to expect any advantage
from our profession of the truth if w
be not sincerely just and honest il
our actions.
