FRESHMEN DENY
RUMOR THAT So
RAISE ACCEPTED
Reports Today Give Evidence That
Boss Printers Wage 0ffer Is
Considered.

The report that job pressmen Of
the tri-cities had accepted the IS
wage increase offered them by the
boss printers is unfounded, &C
cording to Charles Reagen, secre-
tary of the pressmen's union.
Officials Of the boss printers as
ISOLATION today declared that they
had received the Information from
several union men that the raise
was considered and practically ac-
cepted at a meeting of the Tri-City
Printing Pressmen and Assistants
union. No. IS. at a meeting held
yesterday.
Mr.. Reagen said that there was
no truth to the rumor and that
although the difference is not yet
settled. he believed that a settle
ment would soon be made and that
there would be no disorder.
A week ago job pressmen of the
three cities demanded $40 a week
increase from their employees. The
bosses offered a IS advance in
wages and declared that they would
stand firm on that scale. Press
men then came down on their de-
mand and asked for IS, and after
hours of discussion last Friday,
both sides walked away with
view of again meeting.
Minimum $50.
The minimum scale for pressmen
is now $50 a week. Employers
claim that the price of printing
cannot be 50 raised as to meet an
IS a week increase to their en-
ployes.

SEEK TRI-CITY
RECRUITSFOR
10th INF ANTRY

With the prospect of an early
change of station in the immediate
horizon. Company i, goth infantry,
now on duty at the Rock Island ar
senal, is seeking recruits to fill up
its depleted ranks, so that when
the company receives its travel or
ders it will be as near complete
strength as possible.
The personnel of the organiza-
ton is made up almost entirely of
tri-city men and it is the hope of
the company commander that I'M
employed young men in good physi-
cal condition and of good moral
character, will respond to the call
for recruits, as they will thus be
able to serve with residents of
their own community, from Rock
Island, Moline and Davenport.
Young men who, although employ
ed at the present time, are dissatis-
fed with conditions as they find
them. are invited to consider the
army and all men of good character
will be welcomed to the ranks of
the organization.
There is every possibility of ear
Iy active service, and this alone
should appeal to young men who
are anxious to see the country and
the world and at the same time i'm
prove themselves physically and
morally. The men now in the goth
infantry are highly satisfied with
their lot and the prospect of early
active service has proved a spur
to increased efforts on their part,
so they will not be found lacking
when the time comes.
Invited To Visit.
Young men who have been con-
sidering enlistment are invited to
visit the company and the officers
will be pleased to talk over the
matter of enlistment and answer
any questions that may be put by
recruits. They are also
invited to have a meal with the
company and learn for themselves
just how well the men live.
