SLUMP IN PRICES
rs REFLECTED IN
TRI-CITY SALES

In the wake of the break in the
New York stock market and tight
enirg upon loans by banks at the
request of the federal reserve
board. has come nationwide
slump in prices, and its effect has
reached Rock Island.
In conjunction with the great
reductions in prices of all kinds of
wearing apparel in the larger cities
all over the country, as announced
by the big clothing establishments
and department stores of those
places. Rock Island merchants
have lowered prices here all the
way from 20 to so per cent.
Advertisements carried by the
newspapers the. last day or two
have featured enormous price re-
auctions in all kinds of clothing,
with more merchants joining the
movement daily.

PEDDLERS FINED
FOR NOT HAVING
LICENSE PLATES

Inspector L: X. Eihl has made
two arrests as the opening Of his
campaign to enforce the new city
ordinance providing that all ped
dlers must have license tags on
thAr wagons.
Tuesday afternoon George Likos.
street vender, was arrested and
fined S. when arraigned before
Magistrate D. J. Cleland in police
court.
This morning Inspector Eihl ar
rested Olof Christopher, milk dis
tributor, for not having a license.
The new city ordinance became
effective May /, and all peddlers
were warned to bring in their
scales and all measures to be test
ed. sealed and stamped. This pro-
cedure is necessary before a IL
cense can be obtained from the city
clerk.
Most Of the peddlers made a rush
for the licenses, but a few have
failed to do SO, and it is these that
Inspector Eihl is rounding up. The
purpose of forcing the peddlers to
carry metal license tags on each
side of their wagons is to give citi-
zens an opportunity for redress in
case they should find that they
have. been cheated. The license
plates are numbered and if pur.
chaser does not know the peddler's
name the license tag number is
sufficient for Inspector Eihl tc
trace down the offender. A warn.
ing was issued this morning that
any other peddlers who have not
obtained licenses should do so al
once or lay themselves liable to q
penalty.

BUILDING Line


The building labor tangle in the
Quad-cities showed no signs today
|of being unraveled. or at least not
poon. although a. far a. the car
penters are concerned It Is rumor-
cd that one concession on the part
Of the men would bring an offer
from the Quad-City Builders ex-
change for them to come back TO
work at the 81 an hour scale.
Although oficials Of neither side
will step, aside from their stand Of
nothing new" the rank and file
ead members Of other unions say
that the builders would settle I'm
nnediately on the 81 scale If the
carpenters would withdraw their
support from the International Hold
Carriers. Building and Common
Laborers' union. whose members
went On strike May / for recogni-
ton OF their union and wage in
crcases to IS. IS and IS cents an
hour for common labo-ers, nod
carriers and casing workers, re-
spsatively. The builders have coa-
siftcnsly refused to recognize this
union. The new uaion Is affiliated
with the American Federation G:
Labor and other unions are bound
to 6iTe their support. Directly
after the strike, bricklayers, car
pente.s and other allied tradesnen
walked of Jobs where nonunion Ia
borers started to work.
Situation Aggravated.
! On top OF this situation is the
strike of 100 cement flnishers, who
walked out May l in p sqlah5le
with the bricklayers' union. This
quarrel is not settled. The cement
finishers claim that the bricklaye-s
usurped the cement finishers' rights
when they put through an agree
me1t with the builders giving the
brichlayers the right to perform
cement work, even to building side
walks.
And on top of this has come the
Eslkout or lockout of the carpen-
Vel .. NC Soi pCiitCAo oCS-oiC INA
there has been a lockout as the
builders have violated their agree
me1t, while the builders look upon
the affair as a walkout on the
grounds that the men violated the
agreement. The builders say that
the men did not have a 90-dav
clause giving them right to reopen
their contract to negotiate fer high
er wages, and the men claim that
there is a violation OF agreement on
the part of the builders for dis
eliminating against them for sup
porting the laborers.
And in the meantime the labor
ers have only about fifty of their
1850 membership who are no,
working. and these are just enough
/ to do picket duty. The rest Of The
laborers are working for contrac
tors outside of the association WHIT

EXPECT HEADS
OF DAVENPORT
TO CUT fares
Believe Council VIII Refuse 7.Cent
Rate Time ExteEsi0n-May
Ask Special Vote!

With the city council OF DaVen-
port, which meets tonight, expect
ed to refuse to grant the time ex-
tension for the operation of the !
cent fare asked by the Tri-City
Railway company, speculation was
/ rife today as to what would be the
probable outcome of the situation.
Calling of a special election,
street car tieup and renewal Of op-
Grafton of jitney buses were among
the many things believed likely to
result from tonight's session Of
! Davenport's councilmen.
| The opinion was general in Off
! cial circles that the council would
refuse the plea of the railway COM
pany for an extension of 7-cent
fare beyond June /, the date Of It's
expiration under the permission
granted by the previous city ad-
ministration.
most likely by the railway COM
pany, should its proposal be reject
cd by the council, was the presen-
tation of a petition for the calling
ing Of special election to give the
voters OF Davenport an opportunity
to approve or reject the 7cent fare
proposal of the company. While
company officials are said to have
denied such a petition had been
prepared, Or that such a move was
considered, persons in close touch
with the situation expressed the
belief that the company would ask
to have the proposition put up to
the voters. within a few days, if
not Immediately.
To Continue operation!
Should the election be asked and
called. it would in turn raise the
question as to whether the CON-
pany would continue to operate its
cars after June l, when the 7-cent
fare privilege expires and the s.
cent fare is again placed in force
or whether it would place the cars
I in its barns and tie up street car
transportation.
1t is claimed that should the
company refuse to operate its cars
on the nickel rate after June / I'M
til the time Of the special election
which can not be held before the
latter part of June, that 1t would
automatically legalize the opera
ton of jitneys, which were pre-
viously ruled from the streets when
they were running in opposition to
the Tri-City Railway company's
cars.
