Mr.. Bjorling is a graduate of the
Metropolitan Opera School of New
York. He has been a professional
singer for many years and is rec
ognized by the leading musical
critics as possessing a pleasing and
well trained tenor voice. He is now
touring this country in company
with his three sons, Gorta, 6 years
old; Jussi, Z years. and Ollie, 8 years
Of age. MIR. Bjorling and his sons
have already appeared in Moline
and vicinity several times and now
they come to Rock Island to give
US an evening of real musical en-
joyment. This will be the last
concert here before the quartette
continues on their tour westward.

9 ather the contractors or the
.,,auters, were the only features
-4,king the situation today, the
s,urth in the tri-city building tieup.
-.,rh resulted last Saturday morn
:. ANN the refusal of the contrac-
- members of the Quad-City

I. bour wage scale asked by the
srion workers.
IN pofh the contractors and union
..cials denied knowledge of any
s s,scs being taken by either side
.S.srd instituting negotiations with
. s.ttlement OF the present contro-
,.,sy as their objective. Admis-
IN came from union circles today
~ Indications now pointed to the
s.,ohahility of the tieup Of building
s.sr,tions lasting longer than was
\ frst deemed likely, but the men
w.ra declared to be determined to
Ma their time and carry out the
ssht Is long as it might be neces-
IN to gain their demands.
Il was generally understood to-
nv that since the shutdown of
buidirg operations last Saturday
morning that several other factors
hesides the increased wage demand
md which was the original cause of
~ present difficulty, had entered
INTO the controversy. Though none
# them proved to be clear-cut
PROPOSITIONS they were apparently
Ming given sufficient consideration
ia warrant the belief that the final
pttlement of the whole difficulty
mar hinge as much If not more
upon them as the wage increase
Itself. One union leader acknowl-
edeed that there was principle
involved in the controversy which
made the present fight a more ser
ious one than an ordinary wage dis
tu.e and which made the men the
more determined to see it through
% q satisfactory finish.
Exchange Meets.
A meeting of the members of the
i builders exchange was held last
! night, but when asked today con-
cerning it, E. j. Burns, who is sec
retary Of the organization, stated
that nothing was done" When
Questioned as to whether there was
any change in the situation and if
ether side has made or contem-
plated making any advances look
Ing toward a settlement of the tieup
be said, "Not that l know Of"
y. Carlson, business agent of
he carpenters, announced the sit
uition as far as the men were con-
Nrred, was the same today, with
the exception that more of them
having secured work elsewhere,
had left town and that notification
bad been received from other towns
close by Of a sufficient amount of
work and Jobs open to take care OF
every man that is without employ
