BODY IS NAMED
TO THRESH out
BUILDING TIEUP
Allied Trades Committee to Hear
Both Sides On Much Disputed
90.Day Clause.

With the naming Of committee
OF three last night by the allied
trade meeting at the Rock Island
Industrial home, to act as a sort
of mediation board between the
Quad City Builders exchange and
the union carpenters employed by
them, the first move was taken to-
ward solution of the building
tieup here since the lid was clamped
on last Saturday morning.
The mission of allied trades com
mittee, which is composed of H. R
Poston, chairman, c. l.. Armstrong
and C. H. Nichols, is understood to
be to get a committee of the car
penters and committee named by
the builders, together for the pur-
pose of discussing the "90-day
clause" which is generally admit
ted to be the chief bone Of conten-
ton in the tieup.
The allied trades committee ex-
pected to meet tonight with the
committees representing the two
sides involved in the controversy,
and attempt to thresh out the
tangle surrounding the much dis
puted clause, which the carpenters
declare was made in the form Of a
"gentlenen's agreement" at the
time the last contract was signed
with the exchange.
1t is said that it will be the object
of the allied trades committee after
having the question threshed out
before it, to establish the truth or
falseness of the contractors charge
that no 90-day clause was made
with the carpenters, and that the
men are striking in violation OF
their agreement with the builders
| In view of that fact that the out
come of the building tieup will per
haps hinge on the result, much i'm
portance is attached to the verdict
of the allied trades committee. To
day it was said the builders had
named committee which had con-
scented to meet with the allied
trades committee tonight and that
before evening a similar announce,
ment was expected to be received
from the carpenters.

Meup Of Cify's Street Railway Ser.
vice Is Expected the Last Of
This Month.

Upon the return OF President B.
]. Denman and General Manager
John G. Huntoon of the Tri-iCty
Railway company. and their an
li0unccment that they will not ask
for a special election on the 7-cent
fare question until after the wage
dispute with the street car mems
union has been settled, it became
reasonably certain in Davenport to-
day that June I would find the city
without street cars.
Following on the heels of the an
nouucement from the officials Of
the railway company, came word
that Mayor Barewald and Police
Magistrate Harold Metcalf, head of
the Socialist party in Davenport,
that they both were both reported
as now being in favor of a 30-day
extension of the 7-cent fare. Be-
cause Of the weight of their opin-
ion with the Socialist members OF
the council who turned the railway
company's extension proposal
down, the report of the change in
their attitude was regarded In
quarters as being of more than or
binary importance However. dis
counting this, was the fact that the
council had already taken formal
action in open session on the COM
panys proposal and the possibility
of it reversing itself was scant.
Men Willing To settle.
There is considerable doubt as tc
when the street car company viii

election in view Of the fact that il

their plans contingent upon the
result of the wage negotiations
with the car men. The car mer

under the direction of the teacher
gave flag drills, exercises and

ton 10 put veal of country above partisan poll
tics, James Cox, in his speech accepting the
Democratic presidential nomination, goes upon
record as being a broad man, a man well quail
fled, and every way worthy of serving the peo-
pie of this great nation-as a statesman in
whose hands the reins of the government may
safely be placed. He stands firmly for the
principles of Democracy because the political
history OF the United States shows that this
nation has it's foundation upon those princi-
pies. He stands firmly for the principles Of
good government as laid down and elucidated
by Washington, by Jefferson. by Lincoln, by
Roosevelt, by Wilson. He stands for an adj
ministration which, while Democratic will not
put partisan politics above country, which will
not make party paramount to national interest.
He stands, a big man seeking to be made the
chief executive of a big nation, a man who
believes, who realizes that no man is bigger
than his party and that no party is bigger Than
its country.
w believe that this will prove a Demo-
cratic year. We believe that the Democracy
of the nation will be successful at the polls
next November, and we believe that James
Cox will make the United States, the people Of
the United States, irrespective of party, a
br~oad-ninded, able and high-principled presi-
dent because he has accepted 1.-The nomination
of our party, obedient to the Divine Sovereign
of ali peoples, and hopeful that by trust in Him
