Arrivals of groups of colOred

rumOrs of importations of large
numbers Of refugees from the race

of their colored employees who
brought three friends with him to

only colored arrivals in the day.

were stories of unloading 500 ne

their vote will decide for or against
a strike at the meeting to be held
Friday M rning. While it is not
definitely known that the officials of
the two divisions will recommend
the acceptance Of this scale, it IS
generally believed here that this
will be the case. 1t is not thought
that the company would proceed
with the rehearing before the COM
mission basing arguments for a
fare increase on a scale that IT
knows the men will not accept, and
it is thought that the officials of
the unions have evidently consid-
cred the proposition of the COM
pany satisfactory and will recon-
mend the acceptance of the scale.
While it is not certain beyond all
doubt that the men will accept the
recommendation of the officials,
and while they are. not bound in
any way to accept them, the train
men have always shown a conf
dence in the ability of their lead
ers to negotiate for their best in
terests and have usually accepted
all recommendation by practical
ly a unanimous vote. Local labor
union leaders do not look for
scenes similar to those in Chicago
when the carmen voted to strike
over the recommendation of the
officials of the unions.

upon its neck.
This statement is attributed to q
Moline alderman who appears to
have more than average influence
in the Pillow City council. Each Mo
line alderman disapproves of the Z
cent fare rate, according to the con-
sensus about the city hall today.
The city officials still believe that
the street car men are being used
as tools by the Tri-City Railway
company. Let EN- strike" is the
expression of the public in Moline.
The people would rather put up
with the inconvenience of a strike
than to pay the extra two cents for
each ride.
A committee of men representing
the arsenal machinists today ap-
peared before Mayor c. p. Skinner
and protested against an increase,
asking that a referendum vote on
the proposition be taken. They
we're asked to put their protest and
petition in writing.

PAVING ORDERS

General Manager HuntOCn Says

Must Be Here.

Mayor H. NJ. Schriver was too
busy today in interviews relative
to the street scar fare increase
hearing in Chicago to give atten-
ton to his recent order to the TTi-
City Railway company to repair
Second avenue.
The mayor said he would have to
let the paving matter slide for the
afternoon inasmuch as, with city
officials of Moline he is busy con-
siding steps to be taken to prevent
the state public utilities commits
sion from taking action on the fare
increase for the Tri-City Railway
company, before hearing from the
two cities.
The mayor said that perhaps to-
morrow he would get busy on the
order to close Second avenue to the
street cars unless the company at
once undertook to repair the wood
block paving between the tracks.
The mayor held up enforcement
OF the order on Saturday at the re-
quest of the company officials who
asked that no action be taken until

MAYOR WIRES
OPPOSITION TO
FARE INCREASE
Says City Commission is Unalter-
ably Opposed to Granting of
Seven Cent Rate.

The public utilities commission,
in hearing at Chicago in connection
with the proposed increase of street
car fares for the Tri-City Railway
company, will take no direct action
toward granting the fares, if a pro-
test by Mayor H. NJ. Schriyer has
the desired effect upon the body.
Mayor SchriveF last night. sent a
communication to the body stating
that the officials Of this city were
unalterabIy opposed to the propos-
ed increase. 1t had been intinated
that the commission had been led
to believe that the Rock Island Of
ficials had let up in their fight
against an increase.
The mayors telegram follows:
The citizens of Rock Island,
Moline and East Moline are up
in arms and violently oppose
any action of the commission
looking toward increasing
street railway fares in this
community without the cities
being notified and being repre-
scented at the hearing. We pro-
test in the name of fairness
and in behalf of the great mass
of our people against this I'M
just and unfair advantage
being taken. The public looks
to the commission to protect
its interests, and not to betray
it. Organized labor in great
mass meeting passed resolu-
ton opposing any increase in
fares. Legal representatives of
the cities are on their way to
protest.
H. NJ. SCHRIVER, Mayor.
The mayor states that he has
been and will always remain firmly
opposed to the increase. There is
no reason, in his opinion, why the
public should be forced to submit to
paying cents He stated that he
is much in favor of the railway en-
ployes receiving an increase in
wages, but believes the wage in
crease can be obtained without in
creasing the fares. The two issues,
fare and wage increases, must be
separated, he declares. saying that
the employees should not be used as
a means to get an increase for the
company.
Increase is Not Expected.
1t was not expected by the city

company a fare increase held that
it could not take into considera-
ton any matters pertaining to
wage schedules of the trainmen,
that it has made an exception to
it's course in the Chicago hearing
of the last two days. 1t was be-
lieved that the Chicago street car
strike negotiations in which the
utilities commission participated
to a certain extent, caused the
course of the company to be alter
ed and that in considering the
matter of a fare increase for the
local traction concern, the COM
mission is giving the wage scale
an important part in its deliOera-
tions.
The meeting which has been
called by the two divisions to tak2
place at 1870 o'clock Friday morn
ing here. was called this morning
before final decision Of the COM
pany had been reached on accept
ing the "a, 81 and so cents. 1t is
believed here that the session was
primarily called by the men in the
event of a satisfactory offer from
the company, or, on the other hand,
for final instructions for a strike,
should the schedule of pay sub
mitted by the concern to the men
be rejected. 1t is not thought that
the men have been given assur-
ance that a satisfactory rate of pay
would be granted before noon to-
day.
1t was generally predicted today
that the decision of the company

City Counsel to Fight
Street Car Fare Raise

The city attorneys of Rock Is
land and Moline are leaving this
afternoon to make open protest
against granting a 7-cent car fare
to the Tri-City Railway company.
Suspicion that the increase might
be granted at the sitting of the
public utilities commission in Chi
cago was aroused this afternoon
by information received by Mayor
II. NJ SchrIyer.
The mayor was told t1at James
NJ. Johnston, Moline city attorney,
had been advised that the increaS-
ed fare might be granted at the
present hearing of the commission.
Attorney Johnston was told that
action should be taken at once if
an effort to prevent the increase
was to be- made. The attorney
questioned the right of the COM
mission TO render a decision with
out proper hearing from Rock Is
land and Moline city officials.

officials that the increase would be
granted at the hearing in Chicago.
Commissioner NJ. T. Rudgren of
the department of accounts and
finances, stated that he did not be-
lieve the state body would render a
decision at the present meeting.
Direct action in such matters, he
stated, should be taken in regular
session. The authority of the board
in this meeting is questioned, he
says.
Mayor Schriver intends to hold a
conference with representatives of
the street railway employees as
soon as opportunity permits.
The leaders are at present in
Chicago at the hearing and meet
ing is not expected to be arranged
until the men return to Rock Is
land.
Officials of this city should be
heard at the meeting, it was stated
before a decision granting the in
crease should be given.
Rock Island city officials have
received no information to change
their belief that profits of the COM
pany are sufficient in Rock Island.
They are not in favor of this city
being held in account for opera
lions on the other side of the river.
1t has been generally accepted that
operations of the company in Rock
Island have been more successful
than in Davenport; and it is held
by the city officials that such being
the case, Rock Island should only
pay a fare of cents.
