settlement of a new contract with
the Tri-City Railway company
when all questions but one were
settled between the three railway
unions and the Tri-City Railway
company at Industrial hall

only way to come to an understand
ing on the wage matter and a con-
ference was held this afternoon
with President B. J. Denman of the
railway company.
The wage offered the railway en-
ployes will depend upon the amount
of fare the company can charge. BY
a cent fare, the men would be
Rafd at the rate of AZ, A or 40
cents per hour; by a Z cent fare the
rate would be 46, As, 30 cents. The
contract will be for one year.
A referendum vote taken at the

other matters were settled.

sion by Resolution DepIOre
Staying of Jews.

At the close of the conference OF
the Kewanee district of the Reor-
ganized Church of Jesus Christ OF
Latter Day Saints last eveEng at
the church on Tenth street and
Eighteenth avenue, a resolution
was adopted in aid OF the Jews, in
protest against the massacres
which are occurring in Poland and
Rumania. The Latter Day Saints
are in unanimous accord with the
Jewish people in Poland and Ru-
mania, and the resolution which
was adopted and is as follows will
be presented through the proper
channels to President wilson:
Whereas. TIE knowledge and
infOl nation has come TO US through
reliable sources that numbers OF
the Jewish race, including men,
women and children, have recently
in parts of Poland and Rumania
been subject to massacres, barbar-
Gus and inhdman torture. and per
sonal violence and plumber, in
some cases by and with the con-
sent of the authorities of those
countries, to not interfere with the
mobs and riotous assemblies in
their 1nurdGrous designs. And,
Whereas, We, as people,
deplore the conditions existing
against civilization; and,
Whereas, Many thousands of
our American boys, without regard
to race, color or religion, fought,
bled and died that the iron hand
Of cruel oppression might be taken
away from the Polish and Ruma-
MAN peoples. Therefore, be it
Resolved, BY this church, in
{ difference assembled, that we
grayely and in a solemn manner
do hereby protest against these
massacres, and violence against
