BOY CAUSED WRECK.
Opened Switch While Train Was Pass.
 ing "To See What fl Would do.r


 Hot Springs, August i4.-Thc accident to a Rock Island train while leaving Hot Springs one night last week has been cleared up. A lad has been found who admitted that he turned a switch in order to see what would result. The trucks under the forward end of a Pullman sleeper took one pair of tracks while the trucks under the rear end of the same car took the other pair. Thus a "split switch" was made and but for the fact that the speed of the train was yet slow considerable damage would have resulted. As 1t was two hours was lost in the time between Hot Springs and Little Rock.
 Just how the switch came to be ia a position that It could be turned by boy, without tue regular switchman's key, has not yet been determined.

Of local building trades councils
and that they hope the local al.
lance will be reorganized with
only unions who are affiliated with
the Interpational Structural Build
ing Trades alliance.
G., w. Miller, business agent of
the alliance, had not heard of the
Carpenters action this morning. He
refused to state what effect it
would have on the organization.
In case the alliance should dis
solve it will probably carry down
with it the board of business
agents. One of the greatest objec-
tons to the alliance that the car
penters had lay in the influence ex-
erted in that organization by the
business agents. The carpenters
claimed today that the alliance was
dominated by the business agents
to such an extent that it was no
longer a representative body. They
also stated that they would, as an
inidivual union, unite with other
unions in any movement calculated
to benefit organized labor.
