EMPLOYERS AND
PRINTERS MEET
THIS AFTERNOON
International Representative o
Union in City in Hopes OF
Reaching Settlement.

Settlement Of the employers vs..
printers controversy may be reach
ed at the joint committee meeting
being held this afternoon in this
city. A representative OF the ins
ternational union of printers is II
the city to attend the meeting with
the committee of the employers ana
a committee Of the Tri-City Typo
graphical union.
It is understood that the uni9
petitioned for permission to stxi -
on March 1. should no settlemS
be reached but this afterno6n
meeting was called to avoid s1S
action. The union is asking f0ts
Sc a week increase with 44-houy
week, which amounts to wage Of
81 an hour or S44 a week. Em-
.ployers argue that an increase in
wages was given to helpers about
IS months ago and that now, al
though living prices are coming
down. they are not attempting to
lower the wage.
The controversy pertains to the
job printing plants only and does
not include the newspapers.
Six tri-city printing concerns
yesterday took strike insurance as
the latest weapon with which to
fight trade unionism. In case of q
strike, the insurance protects the
employers from overhead expenses,
fixed charges, and profits Of the es-
Enlistment. There are q shops
represented in the Tri-City Manu-
featuring Printers association, and
many other members are planning
on taking out the insurance. Rep
resenting the association on the
committee meeting this afternoon
are l.. Ben Driffill, Rock Island
H. 8. Ransom, Moline, and Arthur
w. Liddle, Davenport.

SPOTS LICENSE EvADERs

Despite the fact that local news
papers have been warning the COM
munity since the first of the season
that River Falls was to be visited by
state officer sent here to see that
auto license laws were obeyed, the
agent who arrived here last Friday
had free and easy pickings.
He collected enough in fines to
pay his expenses and leave about
$500 for the state. The city was in
no way benefited financially by the
numerous arrests which he made.
There was nothing complicated
about the rules under which he made
the arrests-they were the primary,
simple rules which demand that ev-
every auto owner purchase state
license tags for each car which he
operates. Yet this agent, in few
hours on Main street, was able to
make about dozen arrests. He did
not have to go out after them-they
came to him.
Practically every fine was levied
upon owners well able to pay. How
ever, the agent did not leave here with
the idea that he had caught all of
tenders, and this community may ex-
pect return engagement" most any
time.
The warnings in local papers are
not made to give offenders an OPP
portunity to conceal their disregard
for the law, but to give everyone an
opportunity to do his duty and con-
form to the laws.

Hospital Benefit Day
Kiwanis Club Of New Richmond To
\ Join River Falls in Staging
Benefit Game For Local
1 Hospital---Big Dance on
Pavement In Evening
Stores Will Be Closed After Four
O'clock Next Thursday, So That
All May Attend Game

Next Thursday, July 81, is to be
Hospital Benefit Day" and is to be
celebrated with grand baseball game
between the Kiwanis Club of New
Richmond and the River Falls Com
mercial Club, in the afternoon, and a
big pavement dance with a fine, large
orchestra, in the evening.
There will be a large delegation
down from New Richmond. and many
will drive over from Hudson, ELS
worth, Spring Valley, Prescott, Bald
win, Roberts, Hammond and other
towns in this vicinity.
Tickets to the ball game and to the
dance will be sold throughout the
community previous to the celebra-
ton, and all who have the interest OF
this project at heart should take this
opportunity to give it good boost.
The New Richmond people are max
ing the trip down here solely in
neighborly and fraternal attempt to
help this community to hold and sup
port its hospital, and they are not
asking cent toward their expenses.
River Falls will certainly want to
show its appreciation by turning out
to give the New Richmond people
a royal welcome.
Keep Thursday, July 81, in mind
as tba date for the Big HOSPITAL Bene-
fit Ball Game and Dance, and plan
to attend. The ball game will be held
over at the race track, and the south
block Of the Main street paving will
be used for the dance.
Remember that the stores of the
city will be closed after p. M, and
plan to have your shopping complet-
ed for the day before that hour.

THE sPRINKLING RULE

The City Council has issued a re-
quest that patrons of the water serv-
ice abstain from using the water tc
sprinkle lawns except between the
hours of and 8, both morning and
evening.
If all those who are in the habit OF
sprinkling their lawns should disre-
gard this rule the water supply would
be inadequate to keep up the pressure
and to insure fire protection.
This has been thoroughly explained
to all patrons of the water service
and anyone who disregards the Eoun-
