belt of the material fastened with a
small buckle at the front. The skirt

slit at the sides of the skirt portion

in these coat dresses is worth consld-

cling Of frOCkS in mind. Like the tunic
dress, worn over understands in an
other material, the coat dress lends it.,

DENmAN SAYS
DISL0yAL'TY IS
BIG QUESTION


Asserting that the discharge Of
Charles e. Rogers. president Of
Davenport street car men. is not q
question Of arbitration. the Tri-City
Railway company in . formal reply
to Governor Kendall declined to
meet his request for appointment
Of i've mea willing to serve e asbir
tiers.
The company is mot opposed to
the principles Of arbitration in set
Ting disputes between employees
and employers that are subject Of
arbitration. the statement sets
forth.
The present controversy involves
only the right Of the company tb
discharge an employe for disloyal-
~, it is held, and does not come I'M
der the scope of arbitration be-
cause it does not AFFECT working
conditions or wages.
In support OF its discharge Of
Rogers. the company quotes him to
the governor AZ having said at q
public mass meeting: II want "a
tell you about an incident when the
president Of our street car company
was riding on one of the front seatz
of Third street car one morning
and the car stopped at East Third
street car barn. Five or Elk men
got on after doing their two-houI
stunt, and one Of them went ~
front and said. good morning t.
the motorman, and he got i've day.
for it. They said all the motor
mans time should be taken up IL
the discharge Of his duties, and NO,
in talking to the public. II It il
unsafe for man to say good morn
ing to the motorman on two-maf
car, l certainly feel it would b.
unsafe with one-man car"
!, Say Statement False.
The governor Is told that th,
statement 10 not only untrue .
the incident, but was made for tn,
purpose Of belittling the methot
of operation of the street railwa!
! system and its managing officers
The company maintains that tn
Eemploye of duty took the attention
OF the motorman for eight or tel
blocks. The discipline. it says
consisted of putting the violating

list of conductors for three days
The employee is said to have admit
ted the charge and to have offers
NO complaint Of the penalty.
The employe was acting In direc
violation Of orders that have beel
in effect for many years, concern

the company says.
The laws of Iowa give the gov
erpor the power to enforce arbitra
