MAJORITY OWNERS BACK IT In Behalf of Liquor Dealer' Associa tion Charles Hastings Makes Stirring Talk to Commission. A saloonkeeper, pleading for an or dinance providing for the abolishment of free lunches In Eaioons, claiming i the sacredness of the home was at J stake, was a feature at the regular' b-bfi!on of the city council yesterJay fcliern'Xin. , Th tippling house owner was t'.iarlts Hastings, who operates thej St. Julten saloon at the corner of Sev-j eat'i avenue and Se-enteen!h street, and the council Is considering the mat ter. It 1s beMoved that a measu-e will be pasbed amending the saloon laws. Mr. Huntings' appeal to the council was eloquent. He spoke for the ma jority, if not all of the saloonkeepers of Rock Island, he being a member cf the Liquor Dealers" Protective as sociation of this city, and having a petition 6lgced by f.H members of the organization asking that the free lunch be abandoned. He stated that the ordinance was requested because It would be binding with the saloon keepers. Forget Meals at Home. In his address, too, he accused some Reck Island men with eating free lunches and forgetting they had a home. It was on this point that he dwelt a long time. Here is his ap peal: "At a meeting of the liquor dealers Friday a committee was appointed to call upon this council with a view to securing an ordinance cisr.cnsing with the free lunch in the sa'oons. I am one of t"ie committee. I went around with this petition to gain the sentiment ot the saloonkeepers. Not one dissent ing man did I meet and I have the petition with its 58 names. "We realize that the increased li cense and the increase in cost of beer and whisky is meaning less profit to us. All of the dealers are heartily in favor of dispensing with the free lunch. "The reason we are coming before you is because the statutes make no provisions on the free lunch question. Your commissioner of health has told me that he -was in favor of barring the lunch. He said it was very dan gerous and unsanitary. Why not !vive it barred? You have plumbing laws. It Is Injurious to the public health. Diseased fingers touch that lunch, and along comes another man. hale and hearty, and he picks up and eat3 w-hat the other has touched. "I am earnest In this matter. JIv hope Is to get through an ordinance to take effect Dec. 1. The saloonkeep ers pay you $77,000 a year in license, and you should give their views in this matter weight. "Fifteen or 20 per cent of the peo ple in this city are floaters Many are hungry, and they know they can get free lunch with a "beer. They hold up people to get beer and lunch money sandbag them. With no lunch you have cleaner saloons and a cleaner hr ii To make fine candies, something more is needed than fine materials EXPERIENCE! There's 40 jears cf feucceas behind every box of I IliiC HP I'll! Our Fairs Agrnt in Rock I-IanI is liarprr lioUM Pharmacy Iluyler's Cttron, likr. Huylt'r's Cundy, is supreme it ' i I : . ' - - city. You get rid of a good part of this riff-raff. "And tl'.ere are a good number of men in Hock Island who turn their nose up at the table at home and live on free lunc'.i insaloons. It's hurting the home as well. A mxn eats at the bar and never gets home. Holiday Lunches Attractive. "Yes. and the holidays are coming, too. Many saloons on Thanksgiving day have big lunches. They have tur key, others fowl and roast pig. They draw the men from toeir wives and families to the saloon. They eat and drink there al! day and the wife and children are home alone, while the man should be there too. That is one reason why I should like to have it go into effect by Dec. 1." Mayor Schriver stated that he was heartily In favor of the measure, and stated t-'at he had wanted the clause in the last saloon ordinance. He also cited rases where the matter h:d proved dangerous to the public health. He said it was unsanitary. Joe Huber and Fred Grams, other members of the committee, also said a few words in favor of the suggested ordinance, and Commissioner Archie Hart announced he was for it. It w-is on Ct mmissioner Hart's motion that the matter was brought to something of a head. He presented a resolution that the communication of the liquor dealers be received and the council consider the preparation of an ordi nance providing for the wishes of the saloonkeepers. It seems that while all of the bar keepers are in favor of abolishing the lunch, that they have no method of Inflicting fines or penalties which would bind all to any agreement they would make. They are therefore tak ing the steps for this ordinance. Ninety Licenses Issued. Elsewhere in The Argus will be found a list of the 00 saloonkeepers whose licenses were issued yesterday by the council The licenses for the New Harper, Hotel Harms and Rock Island house saloons were omitted. They will be issued later after settlement Is made on the cafe license matter.
