MOLINE CHAMBER
Is DENOUNCED BY
RAILROAD CLERKS

Tri-City lodge, No. AT, Brother
hood Of Railway Clerks, has adopt
ed a resolution denouncing the Mo-
line Chamber Of Commerce for sid
ing with the railroads in the pres
ent strike controversy. The reso-
luton, in part, follows:
1.-THE action of the Moline Cham
Der of Commerce is aimed directly
at the defeat of efforts on the part
of railway employees to maintain
and retain favorable wages and
working conditions commensurate
with the present cost of living. The
Moline chamber is composed pri-
marily of merchants whose bust
ness is or has largely been during
the past two years dependent upon
the patronage of railroad employees
Any less favorable wages or con-
ditions imposed upon the railway
employees will be reflected in the
business of the Moline merchants
We denounce the merchants Of Mo.
line who are members Of the cham.
Der of commerce and see fit to bite
the hand that feeds them and urge
patronage of merchants not il
sympathy with such action"

Cleverness of a woman yesterday
resulted in the arrest of Charles
Lundberg, proprietor of the bar in
the Manufacturers hotel building.
Lundberg, when arraigned yester-
day, pleaded not guilty and was
granted a Today continuance.
Desperate because Of her hus-
bands condition, the woman is said
to have gone to Lundberg's place,
where she says she knew he got
his liquor, and purchased a bottle
of hooch. She says she told
Lundberg that she wanted the
liquor for her husband, who was
sick and needed it. The bottle was
turned over to Sam Stewart, night
desk sergeant at the police sta
ton.
The man and his wife have been
in Moline only three months. Her
husband, the woman said, started
drinking and being unsuccessful in
her efforts to have him stop, she
determined to have Lundberg put

Especial Moline Service.


Thursday, July 20, is the date
set for inaugurating the two-pla-

partment. To accomplish this with
out the necessity of employing ad-
ditional men, station No. 4 at 27O6
Fourth avenue will be closed until
Oct. l and the five men of that
crew will be distributed among the
other companies.
Closing of the east end station
seemed the only way out Of the d.
lemma, since the city is without the
funds needed to pay the salaries OF
new men. With No. 4 station clos
ed, the city will be without appar-
atus east Of Sixteenth street.

men. There are four pieces of ap-
pAratus-the aerial truck and COM
bination and pumper at central and
q hose wagon at each Of the other
stations. Each piece will have a
