DAVENPORT HAS.
DELEGATES FOR
LAb0R'S PLANS
J. C. Mccarthy Announces Ceopera-
ton Board Committee Named
Questions Labor Approval.

Davenport has committee nam
ed to confer with the committees
of Rock Island and>Moline in order
to decide on the stand tri-city en-
ployers and civic organizations will
take on the organized labor plan
of a community cooperation board,
J.. c. Mccarthy. secretary Of the
Davenport Commercial club. told
The Argus today.
However. Mr.. Mccarthy said that
the Davenport committee will not
be able to enter the conference at
least before next week. He said
that some of the committeeman are
out OF the city. No chairman has
been named for the Davenport COM
mittee, but one will be named soon,
according to Mr.. Mccarthy.
The labor plan was launched ear
ly in December at special meeting
Of presidents and secretaries Of 70
local labor unions. The meeting
was called by Ben Jacobson. presi-
dent of the Tri-City Federation OF
Labor, and it was decided to name
a committee OF nine labor members
to get in touch with employer and
civic organizations in an endeavor
to get them to name a committee
Of nine to confer with the labor
men in view of appointing a CO.
operation board that would work
out schemes for community better
ment and also attempt to arrive at
the cause of unrest.
Rock Island and Moline have had
their committees named for some
time to confer with a Davenport
committee in order to decide on
employer and civic organizations
stand in the move. However. the
delay in naming Of a Davenport
committee has held back this move,
but such a committee is now at
work in that city.
Questions Labor Approval.
Monday Mr.. Mccarthy said that
he was under the impression that
the community cooperation board
| movement was not an authorized
labor movement in reality. He said
that he understood that no formal
approval had been given the move
by the Tri-City Federation OF La
Dor.
However, Mr.. Jacobson told The
Argus that formal approval has
been given the move. Such appro-
val was given by the federation in
