THE ROCK ISUAND ARGUS. THURSDAY. APRIL, 20, lini. BUTTON WORKERS STILL HOLD OUT Men Fail to Return to Places in Muscatine Factories Today. NON-UNIONISTS FAVORED Operators Bald to Hare Promised to Protect the Latter in Read justment. Muscatine, Iowa, April 20. All nego tiations between the bntton manufac turers and employes are again off, the men unanimously votlcg not to return to work at present. An offlclal tatement Issued by the union declares that employes of the various shops In meetlngB decided not to return to work pending the arrival in the city of Commissioner Van Dnyn. to whose efforts Monday's Bhort-lived agreement was due. Failure of several smaller shops to resume operations and a "misunderstanding regarding the na ture of the agreement presented by the manufacturers to Commissioner of La bor Van Duyn" are given by the union as reasons for the action taken In the shop meetings. The union officials state that upon the arrival of Mr. Van Duyn an effort to arrive at a settlement will be made. HOK-tJJflOXISTS PROTECTED. The actual cause of the break in the local situation is believed to be a state ment made public in which the manu facturers assured their non-union em ployes that the men who had remained "loyal" to them during the controversy would not be displaced. Taking offense, as alleged, at a re mark credited to some of the butto manufacturers here to the effect that no non-union workmen who had stooci by them daring the strike need fear being dismissed on account of the set tlement of the strike, the union work men, after a lively meeting decided not to return to work today. In spite of the agreement to do so. Thts decision was expeted, as it was forecasted during the day by union leaders, who considered the above re mark unnecessary and evidence that the manufacturers were not sincere in Our Luxurious Shampoos Are Invigorating Our shampoos are popular be cause we give a scalp massage with every shampoo, and our work is thorough and done In a comfortable and satisfying man ner.

TROOPS MAT RETITRX.

It is stated that on the first intimation of rioting the troops will be hurried to Muscatine. a So far the strikers are disposed to remain quiet, and there is belief that the renewed strike will be a "blood less" one. The hope is that, on the ar rival of Commissioner Van Duyn, who has been notified of the change of sit uation, and Is coming to again straight en out the trouble which he was sup posed to have settled, the differences will quickly be adjusted.
