COMPANY MUST
BETTER PAVING
And CAR RUNS
Mayor Makes Railway Concern
Agree to Improve Service
in Rock Island.

The Tri-City Railway company
will have to improve its tracks and
service in Rock Island, according
to an agreement made with the
Illinois public utilities commission.
Orders have already been given
the company to repair the wood
paving blocks on Second avenue.
A threat to close the avenue unless
the repair was made has been re-
called pending a decision of the
utilities commission on the fare
proposition.
Yesterday at the hearing of the
commission in Moline Mayor
Schriver again brought up the
question of the company's back
sliding in it's Rock Island service.
Other complaints aside from the
Second avenue paving condition
were registered against the COM
pany. John G. Huntoon, vice pres
ident and general manager Of the
railway company, agreed to not
only repair Second avenue but to
lower the tracks on Eleventh street
between Eighteenth avenue and
Aiken street; this to allow for the
carrying out of asphaltic paving
plans on the avenue which were
adopted. under the former city ad-
ministration. Also, the company
must establish tripper service on
the Watch Tower, Long View and
Elm street lines.
Forced to Improve.
On all of these demands by
Mayor Schriver, the company
agreed to take affirmative action.
However, a close watch will be
made by city officials, and any de-
lays after a decision of the utilities
commission will be reported to the
commission. The commission will
order the execution of any agree
ments broken on the part of the

JTTNEYS STOP AS
STREET CARS ARE
AGAIN RUNNING

Exactly 143 automobiles operat-
ing under free licenses during the
street car strike are now out of
commission in. Rock Island as far
as "jitney'' service is concerned.
Permits issued by the city com
mission were only effective until
today, the city license charges be-
ing suspended during the emery
ency. Now chauffeurs intending to
operate taxis will have to pay $40
for city licenses.
During the strike, the largest
number Of "jitneys" ever operating
in Rock Island were making trips,
a maximum charge of 10 cents be-
ing fixed by the mayor.
Little hope for the future of sit
neys" in Rock Island is now held
out. The public utilities commits
sion has held that they are not a
means of transportation,
therefore being prohibited while
the street car company is in opera
ton.

MILK DEALERS
ARE IN COURT
Managers of Two Concerns Are Ar
rested for Selling Inferior
Product.

A crusade against selling milk
of poor quality to the Rock Island
public resulted in definite action
today in bringing offenders to jus
tice.
E. H. Piether, manager of the
Anderson dairy and William Norris
of the Norris dairy, were arrested
today on complaint by H. H. HaT-
ris, city health commissioner. They
were held for violating section IL
of the city ordinance regulating the
quality of cream and milk.
The ordinance provides for per
cent of butter fat in milk. The An
derson dairy's milk contained only
"a per cent, while Mr.. Norris pro-
duct contained only 2.3 per cent.
This quality was found after two
inspections by the health commits
sioner.
Both dealers appeared at the po-
lice station today and were sched-
uled to be tried this afternoon.

AGAINST
PHONE RATE IS
TO BE SPEEDED
Officials of Rock Island and Three
Other Cities to Protest Phone
Rate Increases.

A petition asking for a decrease
in telephone rates of the Central
Union Telephone company in the
quad-cities will be made by city Of
f1cials of Rock Island, Moline, East
Moline and Silvis in short time.
Now that the street car strike has
been settled, the officials are able
to devote more of their time to
other matters. The petition will be
started within the next few days,
when the officials are able to get
together on the proposition.
Several days ago Mayor Schriver
announced the intention of asking
that the rates put into effect June
l by the company, under authority
of Postmaster General Burleson, be
returned to the former rate. At the
time the rates were announced, the
city commission of Rock Island put
up howl against the act by adopt
ing q resolution in protest.
Action by city and state authori-
ties at that time could not change
the rates authorized by the post
master general, despite numerous
endeavors made by the state body.
NOW II is I0tL LQdJ I0S UTILITIES
commission is prepared to take &C
ton on the increased rates, govern
ment control of the lines having
been given up Aug. l. The telephone
company, however, maintains that
the rates announced under author
ity Of the postmaster general can
not be changed by state authorities
until four months after Aug. 1.
Complain Against Fees.
Aside from the high rates, a COM
plant will be registered in the petit
ton against unjust installation fees
of the company. The company has
adopted the habit of charging GER
tain fees for small requests, it ap-
pears.
Former Mayor McConnochie was
told that it would cost him $3.50 to
have the name mayor" taken from
the telephone directory.
All these complaints will be. thor
oughly voiced in the petition, with
view to radical changes for the bet
ter in the service given by the COM
pany in Rock Island and other
neighboring cities.

PHONE SERVICE
CAUSE OF MANY
OFFERING KICK
Mass Meeting Of Union Men To-
night for Purpose Of Ordering
Phones Taken Out.
THE PHONE STRIKE.

The telephone strike sftua-
ffOn is further advanced today
from yesterday, in that more
phones are being removed and
complaints made against the
service.
The strikers are waiting for
their campaign of removing
phones to fully mRterialize
and force the company to
make concession. No hope for
an early mutual settlement of
the wage dispute Is seen.
A meeting is to be held to-
night of the leaders Of all I'M
ions TO see that union men Or
der their phones removed or
pay fines for not doing so.
While no early mutual agree
ment between officials and strikers
Of the Central Union Telephone
company is seen, it is predicted by
city officials and strikers that the
phone service crisis will reach the
stage soon that the company will
be forced to make concessions.
Today complaints were register
ed at the city hall against i'm
paired and destroyed communica-
ton The complaints are not all
made by persons whose phones
have been put out Of order during
the strike, but by persons who are
indignant at not being able to es-
tablish connections with neigh
bors. even though the complain
ants phones are in working order.
It is believed officially that a
demand presented to the utilities
commission for better service
would not bring results. The
opinion is that the commission
would overruIe the complaint on
account of the company's alleged
difficulties.
However, one course has been
out, which might result in
better service and force the COM
pany to show a fairer attitude
toward the strikers; that is, pay
the telephone bills under protest.

company.

The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-10-17

The failure of the nation to assimilate its for
egn population and to teach them the principles
of our government has been vital one. We are
beginning to see our error now. The senate COM
mittee has returned to Washington with more
concrete examples of the value of a thorough
characterization of our aliens than it could have
obtained by studying voluminous reports.
A man who cannot understand our language
and read our newspapers is potentially menace
to our nation for he is subject to the influence
of the editorial opinions of foreign language
newspapers, many of which do not square with
the highest type of American loyalty.
The sudden desire of aliens to leave the Gary
region for their native countries is another COM
mentary the deficiency of our Americaniza-
ton system Thousands of them, excused ex-
empted from military service during the war, re-
manned in our industries, earning big money while
the American boys were in camps at home and
abroad.
Now with we'll filled purses these men are
preparing to return to their native countries to
enjoy the wealth they made in the United States.
And before they leave many of them, in
stanced in Gary, precipitate strikes, give sympa-
thetc ear to the bolshevist program and disturb
the industrial life of the country in which they
prospered This is ngratitude of the most pro-
nounced type.
This exodus not only takes from the United
States money that should be left here for in
dustral expansion and credit purposes, but also
removes workers--rren who are vitality needed
now to turn out the production demanded by con-
ditons created by the ending of the war.
If the citizens of European countries here
after find it hard to gain entrance to the United
States, they will have no one to blame but them
selves. Americans are sick and tired of permit
ting them to abuse the privileges of this country
by stirring up industrial unrest and plotting
against the lives of our officials Americans will
no longer tolerate the presence of men and women
who are bent on overthrowng our government.
If the aliens, dissatisfied with their material
conditions in European countries, better their lot
infinitely in this country, they making poor
show of gratitude by listening to the Reds and
manufacturing bombs. 1t will become increas-
ingly difficult for aliens to gain entrance to our
country, and those that are admitted will have to
become loyal Americans in double quick time.
