latter organization, composed in about equal proportion of fremen and en- ginemen, insists that when fireman is promoteF to be an engineer that union should continue to control him in the matter of wages and hours of labor.
 The engineers say that if this de- mand is continued they will strike be- cause they do not propose to have their organization dominated by a lot of fremen. The latter declare that unless Inc demand is granted they will strike They number about 27,- coo men and should they go out would be able to tie up all western traffic.
 ! Commissioner Knapp would not express an opinion on the ultimate outcome of this trouble. It is be- lieved, however, that the only solu- ton of the difficulty will be to find some means of maintaining the pres ent status in the hope that in the future conditions will so adjust them selves as to make a recurrence of the present tension impossible. Most of the railroads and the men are ready to arbitrate the question of wages.

INSURGENTS RILED OVER JOE CANNON'S
 VITRI0LIC ATTACK

Washington. March 21.-With eyes slowing defiance. and voice laundering at his enemies with all the days bent up bitterness, Speaker Cannon made a vitrio1ic attack on the hybrid House majority at the annual dinner of the Illinois Republican Association late Saturday night.
 'fThe country believes we have a majority of forty-four in the House. D he said, ttwhereas we have none; nor have we a ma jo1ity in the Senate.''
 His contemptuouS Announcement Of inc insurgent members of the House who stood by him in the final test, as '.cowardly members of Congress with out the courage of their convictions" has cut to the quick those men who responded with their votes to what they say they believed to be their duty r. fITniliation.
 The feeling among these insurgents later was one of bitterest resentment. eff this is to be the manner of our treatment for saving the Republican party said one of them. ''this battle just ended will be followed by another beside which the first one will be but a skirmish.
 we were not towards. We of the insurgents who cast our votes against unseating Cannon were the bravest men in that house. It took consuna- mate coura ge, and it will probably cost me my seat in Congress. But if we are to be met by calurnny because we sacrificed ourselves to save the House from chaos and disorder and to pre- vent the ruin of the Republican party, then I am in favor of carrying this war to the f1niSh.''

FORTY KILLED,
 TRAIN RUNS
 INTO DITCH
DOUBLE HEADER ROCK ISLAND PASSENGER, RUNNING AT HIGH SPEED, JUMPS
 TRACKS TODAY

Twenty-four injured have also been taken from the wreck, it is said.
 According to Rock Island officials here the wreck occurred between s and a. m. today, nine miles from Marshaltown, Iowa, and four miles from Gladbrook. The train was a consolidated one of two Minneapolis & St. Paul trains which left Chicago and St. Louis last night. It was a double header and was running over the tracks of the Great Western Rail- road on account of a wreck on the Rock Island.
 The front engine was derailed, the officials declare and the second en- zine and three cars topp1ed over. Three cars, one sleeper, and chair car and one baggage car were de- stroyed.
 One engineer and one fireman are missing.
 Few of the details have reached here, but it is said that most of the persons killed were riding in the chair car when the wreck occurred. The cause of the derailment is not known.
 General Manager Tinsman said this afternoon:
 we have already begun a thorough investigation. So far we know abSo- 1ute1y nothing except that the wreck occurred and that a number of per- sons were killed We are hoping that the death list will not be as great as at first reported."'

 This was the report made today by Chairman Knapp of the Interstate Commerce Commission, one of the government mediators who went to Chicago in the hope of producing an amicab1e agreement. Knapp was called back to Washington on inn portant business of the commission but he left in charge Commissioner of Labor Neill to continue the efforts to avert the threatened strike. The fight now is not between. the railroads and their employees. It is between two labor unions, the Broth erhood of Engineers and the Brother hood of Bremen and Enginemen. The former. which is not taking an active part in the controversy with the railroads, is composed of 95 per cent. of locomotive engineers. The

MINORITY REPORT
 ON PROPOSED NEW BANKING ORDINANCE
It Will be Presented by Alderman Fin. Ian. Who FaYOrS the Selection of De. pOS;tOries by a Committee, at Its Own Discretion.

Alderman John F'inlan of the Or1i- nance committee will offer minority report at the meeting of the alder men tonight whereby the Bridgeport Trust Co.,, or any other institution of similar nature that occupies in the eyes of the state law a position sirni- lar to savings banks with respect to investments, may have a chance to bid for the custody of the city funds. Under existing arrangements the funds of the city are distributed among the. National banks of the city. The Trust Co., feels it is entitled to share of the funds and is willing to go into the market as a competitor bidder. If the ordinance is amended ill accordance with the ideas of AL derman Finlan the city so the advo- cates of the Change say will be the richer to the extent of considerable sum yearly.
 At the meeting of the Ordinance committee held Saturday, afternoon, Aldermen Gould, Lavery and Brady said they were opposed to any change from existing conditions but Alder would dissent and the matter will be fought out tonight on the floor of the council.
 The aldermen who favor the pres ent law say they have more votes than they need to block the efforts port Trust Go. a chance to come into the field with bid. Alderman Fin lan's proposed amendment would give private banks like the James Staples & Go. and T. L.
