ANOTHER HITCH
IN LABOR CASE

The members of the Iron Work
ers' union No.. Ill, on strike on
three big jobs in Davenport and on
several lesser works IN Rock Is
land and Moline, are still out to-
day, regardless of the meeting We'd
nesday night between representa-
tives Of the union and the Quad
City Builders exchange.
The scrap is another one between
labor and the builders exchange,
as outside contractors on one big
job in Rock Island and another in
Moline are said to be paying the
mems requested $1.25 an hour rate.
Throughout the entire building
season more or less serious labor
difficulties have arisen, and the ma
jority of them have centered be-
tween the unions and the exchange.
The present strike is claimed to be
forming a serious handicap.
Brings Record Low.
In Rock Island the 1920 building
record stands to fall far below that
Of 1919. Not only labor Quarrels are
responsible for this, as it is claim
ed through various sources that
money is hard to obtain from the
banks for speculative building pur-
poses. However, the building situa-
ton seemed to have been under a
big swing when the labor diff
culties came up in the spring.
