Yesterday, they say, the company
made an offer which would mean
the same wages for the girls with
a slight increase for the linemen.
Such an offer could not be accept
ed by the linemen. they said, which
would mean sacrificing the de-
mands of the girls
The business agent said he has
not deferred fom his demand of
union recognition, although he
would probably accept a PROPOSE
ton recognizing a committee from
the unions if that would end the
strike.
In reference to the clash at the
telephone building yesterday after
noon, the agent said that the trou-
BILE was not caused by the girl
pickets. He said that a first blow
was dealt by the nonunion employe
and that the strikers tried to de-
fend themselves. Also, he said. the
traffic manager of the company
knocked one girl down. The girl
then threw a pop" bottle, being
provoked. He said charges were
being made against this official.

ROCK ISLAND is
HAVING WHIRL
AT JOSLIN FAIR

A constant stream of autos began
early this morning to file through
the gate at the Joslin fair grounds.
This is Rock Island day and the
final one of the fair.
Indications were that the attend
ance would exceed that of previous
days. A large crowd of Rock Is
landers was carried to the grounds
on a special train this morning. A
band accompanied the local dele
cation.
An excellent program of races
was arranged for this afternoon.
Each event claims a record num-
Der of entries, promising strong
competition. Drivers have an add
ed incentative today to get the most
out of their steeds. This is the
$50 prize offered by the fair aSso-
citation for the best mile in better
than 2:14h, the track record.
Track Is Fast.
The track is lightning fast, and
Starter Shields freely predicts that
the record would be smashed to-
day. The free-for-all pace will
bring together some OF the best
talent ever seen on the Joslin
track. There are many good horses
in the 2:20 trot and the 2.1s pace
In addition to these there will be a
consolation race for the horses
which have failed to finish in the
money lists during the meeting.
There will be race staged by the
Belgian club and a motorcycle
event to top off the afternoon.
