Rock Island Plants Prepared to

Production of Rock Island foun-

within a few days after the strike
Of United States steel and iron
workers goes into effect Monday,
The managers of several plants
stated today that while they will be
able to keep operating for some
time, by no means the normal pro-
duction is expected to be sustained
There are dozen establish
ments in Rock Island which depend
upon the steel and iron mills of
the east and west to furnish them
with raw materials for RReping in
operation. In the tri-cities there
are many times this number. All
of them will be affected in a vary
ing degree, by the last of next
week.
Not Instantaneous Stop.
Most of these foundries have
enough steel and iron on hand to
keep them supplied, running at ca
pacity for several days A large
percentage of them have shipments
at present on the way, which will
not be affected. Some will be able
to secure metals during the strikR
through agreements with those
mills which will not be affected by
the strike and will keep running
For while the strike will tie up
practically all Of the big steel
plants and some independent es-
adjustments as well, there are
some which will continue to oper-
ate.
By the end of two weeks, how
ever. the metal products sent out
from Rock Island plants will be
small as compared with the pres
ent rate of output
The BettendOrf shops, the Silvis
shops, Rock Island and Moline
Pillow shops. the Rock Island Bridge
and Iron works-are some of the
plants that will be affected.

TO MAKE A PROHIB
NEXT PRESIDENT

Chicago, Sept. 10. The Anti
Saloon League of America will
enter national politics Immediately,
1t was announced today, to en-
force the demand that the poolit-
ical parties next year nominate
candidates for president who are
openly pledged to unreserved en-

Tells of Circumstances.
Reciting the circumstances at
tendant upon the separation, the
bill states:
AT the summer home Of said

Pine Hill, this defendant surIIised
and discovered said Homer Sam
uels and complainant under com
promising circumstances, the said
complainant then and there being
in a compromising position with
said Homer Samuels."
The bill recites that Homer Sam

dered to, and did then and there,
leave the home OF this defendant,
the said complainant leaving with
him"
Denies All Charges.
All charges contained in Nine.
GaIli-Curci's bills are denied, in
Guiding the one which alleges that
Curci failed to follow any useful,
profitable or remunerative occupa-

Considerable attention is given to
Curci's contention that Nine CALI
Curci was not a resident of Illinois
when her original bill was filed.
He also asserts that, owing to the
fact that they both are citizens =

by Italian laws. which allow 10

have no jurisdiction.

HOUSING PLANS WORRIES IRELAND;
 KICKS GENERAL

-Disappointmen Is eN- pressed in Belfast as we'll as in Dub lin over the policy adopted by the government to solve the problem of providing homes for the people.
 In England the housing schemes are said to be well advanced. In Ireland, though the need is believed here to be greater than in England, nothing has been done and the plan proposed by the government is criticized as unsatisfactory and not likely to produce the results de- sired.
 In England the local authorities are authorized to impose a penny tax to meet the loss on building schemes and the state will provide funds necessary to cover the loss not made good by the tax
 In Ireland there is to be no penny rate. The local authorities will have 10 borrow from the banks the money necessary for building the houses. The Irish Local Govern ment Board. body appointed by the Castle and not regarded as re- sponsible to Irish opinion, will de- termine what IS a fair rent for the houses and the treasury will pay part of the differences between the rent paid by the tenant and the amount necessary to meet the cost of living.
 IL is considered likely that the local authorities in Ireland will find II difficult to borrow this money from the banks, as these local au- thorities will be largely Sim Fein bodies which probably will treat the Local Government Board as an English authority to be challenged and obstructed. Consequently the prospects of success for the Irish housing plan are not regarded as hopeful
 4 good deal of the unrest in Dub lin is attributed to the condition of the Dublin slums. Twenty-one thousand families, about one-third of the population. live in one room tenements. The government in spector has reported that about ss,000.Oo0 is needed for housing.
 It is not believed possible that Dublin could borrow eight millions under the scheme proposed. Belfast IS a comparatively new city and has not the same slum problem. But il has an increasing population and a great shortage of houses. Ii wants nearly s1,00O,000 for the schemes it immediately contem- plates, and eventually will require s5,000,0O0. IL has not the same hostility to the Local Government Board that Dublin has, but it is about equally disappointed with the proposals of the government.
