STRIKE DEVELOPMENTS

We have witnessed The beginning
OF the end OF Tie strike. many feel.
Perhaps it would be more accu-
rate to say that we have witnessed
the beginning OF the end OF the
more serious phases OF the diStur-
baucc. No good can come from
lamentations over what might
have been. but we are very glad to
see Mr.. Jewell occupying now the
position which we took some days
ago. Two or three weeks ago Mr..
Jewell might have taken wisely,
and as a matter Of choice, the po-
sitio1 taken now respecting sepa-
rate. or group agreements with
the railroad companies, as a mat
ter Of necessity.
One argument advanced now
for the group settlement is that
the men Uho return to work Will
be in better position to aid those
who have not been so fortunate
the men who are working, as one
may say, ior the hard-boiled exc
c,ti,cs. The Gazette is informed
tina. the men on a single system,
the Southern, have lost by the
strike something like three mil
lion dollars in wages, and it is Ger
tain that ii there was any way to
count the cost OF the strike, to the
roads and the men alike, the grand
total of the damages, in dollars and
cents. would resemble the Euro
pcan debt.
But the point we are making is
that if the llcn had gone back to
work weeks ago for the roads with
which they have had no quarrel
and if they hadcnded the Synpa--
thetic strike. they would not only
have helped themselves and the
country, but they would have been
in position TO have given some
worth while support to their
brethren on the real firing line.
Upon this occasion the one Tor
an. and ali Tor one idea as hitherto
remarked, has been of small value
United we stand" Is subject to
exceptions and reservations like
most everything else in this HE,
MIR. Jewell now takes a firm hold
ON the entering wedge-the group
agreement plan-and we suspect
hcvill make more Roadway.

POTASH POLITICS

Across the river they have ap-
parently replaced peanut politics
with potash politics. When the
conference committee reported
the more or less esteemed tariff
bill to the House, d movement was
set in motion to rccommjt with a
view to eliminating the dye en-
barge provision. The movement
failed. although the vote was a
close one.
Later in the day Mr.. Garner, OF
Texas, the minority leader, con-
ceived the .dca of bringing to his
support the friends OF potash,
whereupou the fact was revealed
that the House leadership had all
along been riding for a fall when
they put this important ingredient
of every fertilizer formula on the
duitablc list. The cmbattled FARM
ers were aroused, as was attcSted
by the kilograms that began to rain
on members from the probinces.

Investment in Local
Institutions.

NJ. c. Levy, manager of the Rock
Island Garment company, spoke at
the noon luncheon of the Exchange
club today and members of the or
ganization discussed Local Inves-
tors for Rock Island"
The point was stressed that a
great deal Rock Island capital is
invested in outside enterprises, no
tabIy in eastern corporations, and
that more confidence in Rock Is
land enterprises was an essentis.l
deSideratum to relieve the present
situation.
The sentiment was expressed
that the Exchange club should ge!
behind a proposition to use all its
influence to create such a feeling
of confidence on the part of inves-
tors who are residents of this city
that funds now used elsewhere may
be utilized for the upbuilding Of
home institutions.
Mr. Levy in behalf of the gar
ment company stated that he hoped
to begin the installation of machin
cry in the factory now being erect
ed, in about ten days. He hintet
also in his address of a prospec
tive enlargement in the activities
of the company which might TAX
place, he said, within the next sil
months. AS part of the clubs &C
