GRIEVANCE Man
FOR SWITChMEN
SAYS men WORK
]. ]. Mcnamara Asserts Local Tn.
ion Is Loyal To Main Body
Raps "Outlaw" Strike.

Reports that the Chicago switch
mems strike is to spread to the tri-
cities and that organizers for the
outlaw" organization are now
busy here were emphatically de-
MED today by J. j. Mcnamara,
grievance man for Tri-City local
No. 1873 of the Switehmen's Union
of North America.
There is nothing to the reports
that the men here are on the verge
of walking out" Mr.. Mcnamara
said.
This union is loyal to the ma
tional body and will not join any
outlaw organization. We will
not go on strike until our accred-
tied officers call a strike. If that
would occur every man would walk
out, but none of us are walking
out for any outlaw organization.
There are no organizers for the
Chicago switchmen's strike leaders
in the tri-cities. at least, none that
are working among the men here. y
The union official asserted that
the local union is holding firm and
that the members are satisfied that
the Chicago strikers are in the
wrong.
Jacobson Gives Opinion.
Ben jacobson, treasurer for the
union, announced today that the To-
cal union members are taking the
Chicago strike in a "cool headed
way. He said that there is no evil
dence at hand of any member be-
ing in favor of a break from the
main union The engineers, fire.
men and brakemen Here also are
said to be against split with reg
ulated union affairs in favor of aid
ing the Chicago strikers. 1t was
predicted that the outlaw" organ
ization would soon lose its hold
and that the accredited union Of
ficials would gain complete control
of the situation.

WOMEN VOTERS
ARE URGED TO
CAST BALLOTS
Should Prepare for Future Suffrage
by Expression OF Prefer.
ence in Primaries.

The woman's suffrage committee
of the Rock Island WOman's club
is issuing an appeal TO all women
qualified to vote to go to the polls
at the preferential primaries next
Tuesday and express their presi-
dental choice.
The committee feels that al
though the votes cast by women
will not be reckoned as significant
they will show by their count in
which direction the preference OF
women voters lies and will be bene-
fetal as preparing women to exer-
else their power when the time
comes
| They argue that women will do
more thinking along political lines
and will be able to vote more intel
ligently if they cast the ballot at
the present primaries. The COM
mittee expects later to organize for
a campaign to teach women the re-
sponsibility of the cote, and the
duty devolving upon them with the
right Of suffrage.
The committee is composed OF
Mrs. H. A. Weld, chairman. Mrs A.
D. WEIGH, Mrs. Ralph Haverstick
Mrs. A. E. Anderson and Mrs
Charles Thomas.

CLOSE ARSENAL
/ IS BAKER PLAN
SCHR|vER SAYS
Mayor Writes Senators and Con.
gressmen to Get Busy With Ad.
ministratiOn to Avert Shutdown

Mayor Harry M. Schriver today
sent letters to Senators Medill Nc
Cormick and Lawrence Y. Sherman,
and Congressman w. J. Graham of
Illinois, and Congressman Harry
Hull of Iowa, asking them to take
immediate steps to influence the ma
tional administration against alleg-
ed plans Of Secretary of War New
ton D. Baker to remove various
Rock Island arsenal departments
and to reduce production of the
remaining departments to the min
imum.
Mayor Schriver announced this
morning that he deems the informa-
ton obtained by him authentic to
the effect that Secretary Baker is
now considering the removal OF
various arsenal departments and a
big reduction in the working force
throughout the entire government
plant here.
In addition to the letters sent to
senators and congressman the
mayor said that he was going to
write to Secretary Baker on the
matter.
In his letter to the senators and
congressman Mayor Schriver sets
forth various alleged pending con-
ditions, and said that every organ
ization in the quad-cities will soon
be called upon to investigate the
in
Schriver's Viewpoint.
The mayors letter to the senators
and congressman follows:
You are doubtless aware tina,
Secretary of War Baker visited the
arsenal at Rock Island few days
ago with the idea in view of NOV
ing one or more departments tc
Jacksonville, Ind. and elsewhere
This would have the effect, if the
plan was carried out, OF reducing
the activities at this plant to q
mere skeleton form. We also I'M
derstand it is the plan of the ad.
ministration to cut down the pro
duction in .all departments TO
minimum.
Our plant is the nations greatest
arsenal, ideally situated. Its de.
velopment represents an expendi,
ture of approximately $250.000,000
Its factory buildings are equipped
with practically all new and up-to-
date machinery, of total value o.
machinery and equipment of ap
proximately s50,00O,OO0. The plan
now employs approximately 5000
| workmen, who with their families
are located in the tri-cities.
In view of the expenditure O
such vast sums of money. together
with the cheap power produced b!
the water power plant in the devel
opment of this arsenal, the people
of this community are unit on thu
proposition that it is to the financia
welfare and interests of the gov
eminent, especially from a manu-
featuring point of view, to keep tn
different departments and units a
this plant intact and to permit then
to remain here. The citizens of tn

DACAY IS FINED
$500 IN COURT
IN DAVENPORT
Arrested for Completely in Theft
From Midwest Motors
Company.

A dsconsolate father, who wept
bitterly to see his son arraigned be-
fore the court on a criminal charge,
collapsed upon hearing the sentence
in the court Of Judge F. D. Let's
in Davenport this morning. The
trial was that of Joseph Dagay OF
Rock Island, defending himself
against a charge of participation
in $4,000 robbery from the Mid
west Motors company of Daven-
port, and although asserting his in
nocence, Dagay was fined $500 and
sentenced to three months in Jail
Upon expression of his willingness
to pay the fine, Judge Let's sus-
pended the Jail sentence and dis
continued three other indictments
held over Dagay in connection
with the same job.
'Dagay has been mixed in other
similar scrapes in this city, having
been inS Jail last fall en- five in
dictments connected with thefts
of automobiles together with Car
Ram and Frank r. Morgan. Dagay
and Ram we're released on bonds

tfi-cities are planning huge mass
meetings as q protest against Sec
rotary Bakers plan.
1--WE believe the present admin
istration at the arsenal possesses a
wonderful organization and in these
unsettled and trying times. should
our nation become involved in any
trouble with another nation or ma
tons in the next few years, We
would have an equipment and an
organization already here under one
roof, so to speak. that would be
wonderfully more efficient than to
have the different units and depart
ments scattered throughout the
country.
I'VE protest most strongly against
the secretary's plan and ask you to
use every influence you possess
with the administration to oppose
the proposed plan.
would be pleased to hear from
you, on this subject"
