FIND JOBS FOR
MEN ON ROADS:
MORE BUILDING
Employment Bureau Placing People
At Work Which is More
Permanent, Rinck Says.

With the increase OF building and
road work, the number of perma-
nent Jobs distributed during April
by the local Office of the Illinois
Free Employment bureau has
grown, Fred w. Rinck, superin-
tendent, says.
Placement Of 5s1 men and 2s2
women was made last month. prac-
tically the same as in March. How
ever, the number OF casual male
laborers totaled only 1863, common
laborers 155, and the remainder
were mechanics. farm help. molders
and nlachinists. Eightynine women
were day workers, and 135 worked
in factories. There is very little
clerical work for women.
The demand for road workers
which came into the employment
office today could not be filled
With construction help. road work
ers are the most called for during
the last several weeks. There are
still plenty of men seeking garden
work and housekeeping, Mr.. Rinck
said. Calls for competent men or
women in this work can be easily
filled.
Improvements in the building
conditions in Rock Island and Mo-
line are indicated by the number
of permits and estimates made
during April.
Find Man for Job.
Calls for any kind of help are
filled at the local office, and if
a demand cannot be met, the
bureau obtains help through other
offices. Mr. Rinck in explaining
such situations, said:
THE other day Muscatine
firm asked US for man who can
do monument lettering We had
no such applicant and could not 10
cate any. We wrote to all the Of
fices in the state asking if such a
worker can be furnished. Two
hours later, a man happened into
the office and asked if we could
place him at work lettering monu-
ments. His home was in Seattle, |
Wash. We today received word
that the Muscatine firm hired this I
man on cur recommendations" /,

Grace Hanna, sister Of the muir
dered girl
Hoopeston, ILL.,, ay 1.-The STAY
ing of Gertrude Hanna, eccentric
school teacher of Hoopeston, bids
fair to add one more to the list of
unsolved murder mysteries. All
leads have apparently ended against
a blank wall and authorities ad-
nit they are baffled by the com,
plexities OF the case. Even the
cause Of the girls death has not
been determined and all clues seem
to be shattered County and city
officials, however, declare they will
continue their Investigations in an
untiring effort to clear up the mys-

SHOT TOWER AREA

Between 1880 and 1860 there flour
ished on the banks of the Wisconsin
in Iowa County, and directly across
from the present village of Spring
Green, the village of Helena. This
town included stores, a hotel, post
office, and the homes and amusement
places of thousand or more people.
The chief industries were the river
trade between Portage and Prairie du
Chen, particularly the rafting of logs
and lumber, and the manufacture of
shot. The lead deposits of southwest

terial which was hauled overland to
Helena and there sfelted and dropped
in the shot tower and later packed for

SAYS LABOR QUESTION:
INTERPRETERS WITH RAILS
Banker Declares Future De,
pends on Settlement.

Asserting that the future of American
railroads depends entirely on the final
settlement of the so-called labor ques-
tion, Frederick j. Lisman, banker, sug-
gested yesterday the following remedies
for the present unsettlement:
II. Repeal all classes of the present
laws which exempt labor from the con-
spiracy laws.
20. Compel the publication Of all ac-
counts of the labor unions in accord
ance with a standard form prescribed
by the Department of Labor.
20. Have the Department OF Labor
supervise all votes at labor union cleo
tions these votes to be secret.
"a. No strike to be declared until the
issue on which the men are to strike Is
clearly defined by the representatives
of the employers and employees and II
they cannot agree. by the United States
Circuit Judge Of the territory in which
the dispute has arisen or until major
ity OF the members of the union have
voted In favor of strike by secret bal
lot supervised by the Labor Department.
"The capital required by the railroads
in order to expand their transportation
facilities" said Mr. Lisman, ''wtll flow
in freely to the railroads when the
labor question Is taken out of politics
by intelligent and fair regulation"
