The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the telephone question as it applies to the city's interests, that a consensus of opinion may be obtain ed as to the best method of procedure for the protection of telephone patrons as well at the taxpaying public. Speak ers well posted in telephonic matters will be present, and as this is a very important question, a large attendance is requested. Some time ago the mer chants asked the council to go ahead with the fight in the coirrts, but under the circumstances the question arises as to how far the matter should be car ried in a legal contest. It is now desir ed to consult the people who will be taxed to pay for the fight as to wheth er or not it should be carried further if a satisfactory agreement can be con summated. To Clone All Day. At an adjourned meeting of the di rectors of the Rock Island Retail Mer chants' association yesterday, the di rectors voted to recommend to the mer chants of the city that the city's stores be closed all day Memorial day. It has been the custom of the merchants of the city to close their stores only in the afternoon, and to remain open all morning. This, it Is felt, should be dis continued, and the stores closed all day in memorial to the country's fallen heroes, it is probable that this rec ommendation, coming as It does from the Retail Merchants' association, will meet with quite general favor.
