MILK BAR MAY
FEATURE EXPO
Assistant Director Addresses Rock
Island Dairymen-AdvOcates
PaSteurized Product.

Representatives of Is Rock Is
land diaries gave tentative ap-
prevail in the Rock Island Chamber
of Commerce rooms last night to
a proposition to give milk exhibit
and operate a milk bar at the
Trans-Mississippi Exposition and
Pageant of Progress in the depart
ment of domestic science, over
which Miss Lucille Allen, home adj
visor, will preside. DIR. Thomas H.
Leonard, assistant director of the
state department of health, Spring
field, addressed the group.
The conference was called by
Health Inspector l.. K Eihl. Mayor
H. NJ Schriver yesterday afternoon
was visited by Dr. Leonard, who
discussed with him the infant NOR
tality rate in Rock Island, the per-
centage here being 12.8 per cent
and a fraction, which is higher than
the Chicago or St. Louis rate, az
cording to DR.. Leonard's state
ments.
Addressing the dairymen, DR..
Leonard expressed the opinion that
the pasteurization of milk by legal
enactment was coming, and he af-
firmed his belief that the next ses-
sion of the Illinois assembly would
take such action. He said that GER
tilted milk only meant that SAM
tary precautions were observed in
its handling. The only way to make
milk safe, he declared, was to have
it pasteurized, and he stressed the
necessity of having only pasteur-
ICED milk sold at the proposed bar
to be conducted at the exposition,
in connection with the exhibit
A committee consisting of l. K.
Eihl and Representatives of the
Brooks, Strayer and Union diaries
was appointed to prepare a plan
for the contemplated exhibit and
submit it at a gathering of all the
dairymen of the city.

Upon Petition Of President

Garment company. the company by
lis president, Milton C. Levy. Dav-
epport. has secured a writ of tenn
porary injunction against the

PENDANTS include Herman Reese,
Joseph Katz, Anton Johanson, Fred
Davis, Lena Lohse, P. J. Carlson,
Anna Carlson, Sophia C. Caspero-
yich and Winnie Sipple.
The defendants are enioined
from "picketing or maintaining
pickets about the plant" of the Rock
Island Garment company, Twenty
fourth street and Fourth avenue.
Also from spying upon the COM
plainants' place of business, or
upon its employees going to and

or intimidating the employees; from
organizing or attempting to organ
ize and maintain a boycott against
the goods Of the company; from in
ducing or attempting to induce
any employee or others from accept

The etition for injunction is
supported by affidavits of several
employees who declare they were
at various times solicited to attend
secret meetings and join the union,
and upon refusal were threatened
with bodily harm. This work among
the employees is alleged to have
been carried on by union workers
disguised as employees.
Active Propaganda Charged.
The picketing began in April, it

tins among the employees, majority
of whom are women, attacking the
character and motives of President
Levy and citing comparisons of
wages received by union carmen.

the Rock Island concern, and the

ployes work under contract that
gives them the privilege of discon-
tinuing work at their option, but
which insists upon acceptance of
the non-union basis. Copy of the
contract shows that the employee
agrees to oppose all attempts of
union organizers to gain a foot
hold, and to protect and preserve
the property and good will of the
company.

1t will be pleasing information
to our readers, and the public gen.
orally, to know that local people
have now taken over the affairs Of
the above named Company, and il
is their intention to proceed imme-
diately with the development OF the
territory under lease by that
organization. The executive officers
OF the Company are: Dir. f. r.
Carmack, President; O. r. Hanson
Vice President and Capt. H. R.
Backhous, Secretary Treasurer,
with the Registered Office Of the
Company in Iuka.
1t is we'll known that the Com
pany's holdings include the famous
Cypress Pond Anticlinal Structure
on the Alabama-Missi Line
in Tishomingo County, near apex of
which, at the moment, is erected
one of the finest Californian Rigs
it is possible to procure. The
drilling tools have been secured
and will be moved on the Location
this week. 1t is proposed to have
active drilling operations in full
swing by January 18th 1928.
AT least four noted Geologists
have pronounced the Cypress Pond
anticline as one Of the most favor
able structures in Mississippi or
Alabama for the accumlations of
oil, one of them going so far as to
say that the same structure in
Oklahoma, where there are numer-
Gus sands, would be worth hun.
dreds OF thousands of dollars before
being drilled. Through the knowl-
edge gained during the past few,
years from other wells drilled in the
country surrounding the Company's
property, it is confidently expected
that one of the largest Oh Fields
on the continent will be opened up
inside the next few months.
