CENTRAL UNION CHARGES
FOR ROCK ISLAND COUNTY
Public Utilities Commissi on Refuses to Allow More
Pay for Company's Sc rvice Pending mvesti-
gation-Delays Decision Until Nov. 80.

Springfield ILL.,, July 15.-(Special to The Ar
gus)-The proposed increase in rates of the Central
Union Telephone company in Rock Island, Moline
and East Moline suspended today by the Illi-
nois public utilities commission until Oct l, 1919
pending investigation by the commission into the

On Oct. the federal control of the telephone

SAYS RAILWAYS
MUST Be AIDED
Head Of Association of Electric
Systems Holds More Revenue
Needed to Do Business.

Washington, July 15.-Under ex-
listing conditions and with revenue
they are now receiving the electric
railways can not continue to per-
form the functions expected of
them, John H. Pardea, president of
the American Electric Railway as
sociation today told the federal
electric railways comm 'ssion. The
commission was appointed by Pres
ident Wilson to investigate the sit
uation confronting local transpor-
tation interests throughout the
Nsountry.
VT is no longer a question of
what return shall be allowed to
the owners of the railways" Mr..
Pardee said; sit is a question as to
what service. if any. shall be rem
dered to the public"
Cooperation of the public is
necessary to the stabilizing of
electric railway conditions" Mr..
Pardee said. There must be i'm
pressed upon the public new con-
ception of the relations between
the communities and the public
utilities which serve them; they
must be shown that the antag-
onism which has heret Ofore pre-
vailed is disastrous to both inter-
ests. and that only when the pub
lie and the companies work to-
gether to secure efficiency and
economy in operation can the de-
sired service be furnished at a
reasonable price. A s =cond fun
damental idea is that in order to
provide through the employment
of private capital proper transpor-
tation facilities for cities and for
rural districts, the basas OF COM
pensation must be so determined
as to provide an assured return
and a rate of fare so flexible as to-
readily and automatically adjust
itself to the cost of providing the
service"

MANY DEAD AND
HURT AS ITALY
RIOTING GROWS
Strike Disorders Spread
Condence Vote Given
the New Premier.

Rome, Monday, July 14.-(By
the Associated PreSs).-The
government of Premier NTH,
which took Office several weeks
ago, tonight received a vote OF
confidence in the chamber of
deputies. The vote passed by
257 to Ill.
Strike disorders occurred at vari-
Gus places in Italy today. At Lu-
cerna eight persons were killed and
80 wounded. Near Genoa, two an
archists were killed in a fight with
carabinieri.
chists, which occurred at Sestri
Ponente, four miles west of Genoa,
also resulted in the arrest of four
anarchists.
General Strike On.
A general strike began at Ca
leanissetta, Sicily. The people there
marched through the streets cry
ing "viv soviet" and forced dealers
in foodstuffs and other necessities
to reduce their prices so per cent.
(Lucerna is an ancient town in
southern Italy west northwest of
Foggia).
viii Maintain Order.
The Italian government, Premier
Nitti announced in the chamber of
deputies today, has taken ample
measures to preserve order in view
of threat of a general strike
throughout the country. The troops
he said, have been distributed ev-
erywhere in cities and villages and
in the country and they were pro-
vided with supplies for more than
As hours in case they should be cut
off from the bases.
There is no rea2on for a general
strike in Italy. the premier contin-
ued. The government does noL
wish bloodshed and will do its ut
most to prevent it. Telegraph and
wireless communication with every
part of the kingdom is assured,
however, in case of trouble.
Italy is one country where a gen
eral strike should not occur, Signor
Nitti asserted; bolshevism was an
Asiatic problem which would not
spread to Italy. The government,
he said, does not want to intervene
in bolshevik Russia for the same
reason that it did not intervene
there when Russia was under czar-
ism, which had produced as many
injustices and massacres as
the present regime

either were killed by the explosion
trapped below decks when the

said when The Argus dispatch was
read to him. 1 had heard nothing
of it. 1 did not know there was a

not rebates would be granted on

THAT is not a matter for me to

ters."
Increased June II.
The telephone rates in Rock Is
land. Moline and East Moline were
increased on June II, amounting
in various classes of service to ad-
vances of 25, 80 and so per cent
over the old rates. The rates be-
came effective the day before the
patrons received letters to the ef-
feet that increases were made The
letters were received on June u,
but on June II The Argus an
nounced to the public that the ad-
vance rate became effective that
day.
Immediately protests flooded the
Office of Mayor H. NJ Schriver.
The municipal commission ordered
an investigation to determine what
it could do to prevent the advance.
Inasmuch as the phone lines were
CfflT in
was considerable confusion of how
to proceed. Overlooking no chances
for securing a suspension of the
rates, the commission passed a res
olution, in which it protested
against the increase and declared
the class of service in this city war
ranted no advance.
Copies of these resolutions were
sent to United States senators and
representatives and to state pub
lie utilities commission. Replies
from the senators and representa-
tives, said that a bill was before
congress at that time, authorizing
public utilities commissions in
states which had them, TO rule on
theincrease, and that in cities in
states which had no utilities com
mission, the municipal councils
should rule on the increase.
Not Known Ii Passed.
Whether or not this bill has pass
ed the house and senate is not
known by local officials, yet it is
believed that the action of the state
commission will stand. On this
point, Manager Brown of the tele-
phone company, said that a legal
issue is involved and he could not
say if the ruling of the state body
would undo anything that was done
by the company under government
control.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Slim Sallee
came very near being the most i'm
portant part of the famous Red ma
chine that has run rampant through
the National league this year, but
there are very few fans who. know
that his fame extends arso in another
direction.
Sal1ee, canny, wise old pitcher,
never has started a game against
Philadelphia in it's home band-box.
In fact, only thirteen starts against
Philadelphia's alleged National league
club have been made by the elon-
gated southpaw.
The reason for Sims refraining
from pitching when his club visits
Philadelphia is simply this: He is
easy for the opposition to touch for
long flies. And long flies in the
National league bailiwick in the sleep

be breaking the home run record if
Sallee did much serving
Occasionally the left-handed master

league-under the colors OF st. Louis.
