HOW WEATHERIS
FORECAST TOLD

Storms, where they originate, and
how the science Of forecasting
changes in the weather operates,
was told to the Rock Island EX-
change club at noon luncheon today
by Floyd d. Young, meteorological
It the Davenport weather bureau.
Mr.. Young said practically every
storm that reaches the tri-cities has
It's inception in the Boring Sea, far
to the northeast. Each storm fol-
lows what might be termed a
beaten path, he declared, and by
means of the telegraph it's speed an
hour is followed down through the
states.
Sometimes, not often, an expect
ed storm fails to arrive. This is
due to the fact that some of them
expend their strength on the way
down and disappear, he said.
Mr.. Young declared that 81 per
cent of the 365 forecasts made each
year locally have proved out.

Cain PASSING Of Buck
Some Of the men are claiming
that With the United Light & Rail-
way company controlling the local
company. there has been consider
able passing the buck" in wage
negotiations.
For instance. they assert that the
local men have been told in the
past on receiving wage increases.
that such increases could not have
been allowed II 1t were not for the
returns being received at Grand
Rapids, Mich, and, in turn, the men
clean that the Grand Rapids.
Mich, employees were told that in
creases given them could not have
been allowed II it were not for the
good returns being received on the
ines In the tri-cities.
The United Light & Railways
company controls street railway
lines, gas and power companies in
some 20 different cities. A prospec-
tus dated Nov. l, 1920 on the sale
OF a $4,000. 900 issue, drawing 8 per
cent interest states that the COM
pany is enjoying the benefit OF
many rate increases and tri-city
lines are especially mentioned. The
prospectus is being widely quoted
by the men.
A clause in the prospectus is:
"All departments Of the company's
business are tn excellent condition
and the company is nov enjoying
the benefit Of many rate increases
granted during the latter part of
1919 and during the year 1920. The
company has received rate in
creases in every community it
serves and in all classes of service
rendered. The company is now re-
ceiving the benefit of 7-cent car
fare on its Cedar Rapids lines and
an 8 or Scent carfare on all the
lines Of the Tri-City Railway COM
pany, and the Grand Rapids, Grand
Haven & Muskegon Railway CON-
pany is enjoying an increase in pas
senger fares rendered by virtue OF
law passed by the Michigan leg
islature last year"
Franchises Not Burdens0me.
Relative to franchises held by the
various subsidiary companies the
prospectus states that they "are
free from burdensome restrictions. -
In past fights waged by cities on
the Illinois side Of the river against
the Tri-City Railway company on
fare increases complaints were
made by city officials over the fact
that the franchises were not a bur
den to the company, at all. The
company passed up terms Of the
franchise and took all of it's cases
before the Illinois public utilities
commission. The company won in
every fight and the city officials en-.
tered into a move to bring about
home rule. In the prospectus rela-
tive to franchises is quoted:

have been approved by counsel and

The picture opens with scenes of
