COLLAPSED BRIDGE
CLAIM Is REJECTED
BY SCOTT COUNTY

According to the Scott county
board OF supervisors the county is
not liable for damages resulting
from the collapse of defective
bridge unless the county officials
are notified prior to the accident
that the bridge is defective.
Chris Engler, a farmer neal
Donahue owned threshing outfit
which was damaged when bridge
In Aliens Grove township col
lapsed. His claim for SIPS dam.
ages was rejected on the ground
that the board has no previous
knowledge that the bridge was de,
fective and that therefore the acct
dent was not due to carelessness on
the part Of county officials.

HARDING FACES
TEST ASLEADER
IN RAIL STRIKE
CONTINUED from First Pase.l

board. The latter could take coe.
nizance Of the acceptance BY both
sides of point number one, namely
willingness to obey all decisions ~
the board. With that as a base ths
board can asked the men to return
to work and the roads to take them
back.
Seniority VIII Win.
AS for the disposition eyentnauv
, Of the seniority question, it is nor
a new problem. The railroads
have again and again in the mast
restored seniority rights after thew
had taken on, new workers. If the
labor board decides that the rights
should be restored, the railroads
would have to obey. There is every
reason to believe the roads womb
obey-it would not require a hu-
initiating reversal of their own
motion as might have been the case
il they accepted Mr.. Harding's nro-
posal outright.
The labor board itself has not is-
sued a decision on seniority rights
as the railroad executives and
their spokesman would like to have
the public infer. Chairman Hooper
/ gave newspaper interview on the
subject but in view of the peculiar
composition of the labor board Mr.
Hooper does not speak the views
of the board. Certainly he did not
speak on the seniority question for
the three labor members Of the
board and it is difficult to saw
whether he spoke for the other two
members of the public group on
the board. The matter never came
to a vote-it was a personal ex-
preston which does not bind the
board. 1t may well happen that
Mr.. Hooper might vote with the
three railroad arrangements men,
bers on the board but if the two
public members voted with the
three labor members, the vote
would be five to four in favor of
restoration of seniority rights. Mr..
IloOpcI may Uc lOiuulitttu UE u
public statement but the position
of President Harding as expressed
in his letter to the railroads and
the employees would have great
weight in any Lewiston on senior
ity which might be rendered by the
wholue board of nine members.
Action by Weekend.
The question now is whether the
strikers will go back to work in
the confident expectation that the
labor board will see that their
rights are secured. They, too. are
bound by their acceptance, how
ever, of point one which puts them
| on record as willing to obey the
labor board.
Mr.. Harding proceeds slowly and
he is today bordering the whole
situation and particularly this form
of solution Action will come be-
fore the end of the week. Few peo-
pie believe the president will lei
the situation drag on week more
without answering the executives
and thus moving matters closer tt
a peaceful ending by affordins
both sides another way out.

YEOMAN BOARD
VISIT IS URGED
Directors Invited to Inspect Rock
Island County Sites for Pro.
posed New Home.

Directors of the, Brotherhood OF
American Yeomen will visit ROCK
Island this month II plans made by
Otto F. Hndebrandt, chairman OF
the state committee which Is pro-
noting an Illinois location for the
SO ,OOO, 900 children's home to be
erected by the order. materialize.
A, N, Hoffman, Des Moines, one
of the directors who was invited to
visit Rock Island this week. was
not able to accept the invitation ex-
tended him by B. H. Burns. dis
trict manager, on account OF the
pressure of other duties.
Mr., Hildebrandt addressed a let
ter today to Henry W. Meyers,
Wheaton, ILL.,, state manager.
whose headquarters are in Chicago.
suggesting that the directors visit
Rock Island in body upon an Au-
gust date to be agreed upon as
best meeting the convenience OF
the board whose members reside in
different localities.
He believes that the directors
will accede to the wishes of the
state manager and come here to
inspect sites and get in touch with
the movement which has for its OBJ
ject a location for the home in ILL
nois, and preferably in Rock Island
county.
If this visit is made. the effort
on the part of Rock islanders to
secure the home will represent a
final attempt to have a Rock Is
land county site selected.
Without being in a position to
forecast the ultimate action of the
Yeomen directors, members of the
state committee headed by Mr.. Hill
debrandt, District Manager Burns
and others interested, affirm theil
conviction that the chances for ar
Illinois location are still regarded
very bright, with Rock Island coun.
ty among the leading competitors
for the site.
Rockford is asking for q visit
from the directors and Dixon is
putting on an aggressive campaign
! The fact that State Manager Mey.
ers and Chicago Yeomen have gone
| on record for a Rock Island county
site is looked upon as an important
factor in the situation.
