There are strong probabilities that
within the next two or three years IL
home for aged. invalid and crippled
railway trainmen of all classes will be
established at some point in the CEN
tral west. AT the recent convention or
tho brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men at Des M0ines Iowa, II PROPOSE

showed their favor to it by apprOpri-
ating $1,000 as II starter" toward car
rying 1t out. All other railroad organ
izations in the land. 1t is said, will be
asked to lend their support and assist
ancc in realizing the scheme.
Although the plans thus far settled
upon are solely preliminary in their
character. the general idea for the es-
tablishment of the home Is quite clenr-
ly defined. 1t Is said to he the purpose

1t is probable that the various organ

general building fund as quickly as
possible. There have been several sug-
gestions as to how the fund should be
raised, but it is likely that organiZa

be needed before the work of carrying
