EMPLOYEES PICNIC
DOWN ATLMWOOD

Practically every employe of Will

first annual picnic Of the factory
which was held Saturday at Lin
wood. The outing was a successful
one from every standpoint, every
one having thoroughly good time.
Three tugs of war in which ev-
eryone FABRICATED, was the feature
of the days sports. Winners in the
sport were the machine shop, the
Moline forge and the foremen and
losers were respectively, the foun-
dry, Williams, White machine shop
and the Office. A baseball game was
also played between Williams,
White and Moline Forge, the score
standing 8 to s in the eighth inning,
when the game came to an abrupt
close with the blowing of the boat
whistle announcing the arrival OF
the excursion steamer that was to
take the picnickers back to Moline.
I A large number of old employees
We're present, joining in the events
of the day with vigor. Among these
were Henry Leopold, Mack Mccoy
and Johnny Hedburg, who have
been in the employ Of the company
for almost as many years as the
company has existed.

TO VISIT RUSSIAN
BOLSHEVIC HEADS

Gustav Harling, proprietor OF q
shoe store at 1914 Sixteenth ave-
nue., might have been a guest Of
bolshevik leaders, Lenine and
Trotzky, had it not been for the
federal ruling prohibiting issuance
of passports to Russia. Mr.. Hart
ling in city court today made appli-
cation for passports for himself
and son to Sweden, France, Eng
land and Russia. \ The Russian
passport was denied him.
Mr.. Harling stated he had &C
Quaintances in Sweden who are In
a position to furnish him with
credentials to the bolsheviist lead
ers.
II Just want to see what they
are like" he said in explanation of
his desire to call upon Lenine and
Trotzky. Harling will probably be
able to visit the other countries for
which he will sail July 81.
Passports now cost SO. a 50 in
crease becoming effective July l.
but this increase apparently has
not affected issuing Of passports N
