(By Tom Parker Junkin.

Under the provisions Of ,the full
.crewsbill, freight trains .of:a40 or more
cars be manned, flagman, an engi-
neer ,andsa fireman. Trains under 40
cars, one less brakeman is permitted.
The same rules would apply to pas
senger trains, with four-car trains re-
quiring a full crew. Engines running
light would be manned by asconduc-.
tor, engineer and fireman.
IF d member of the crew became ill.
while on the run, the trip to the ter.
minal could be completed with a short
crew in charge.
The semi-monthly payment act
would displace the present system of
monthly payment Of employees.
The Ambulance chaser act is the
same that caused a vigorous fight two
years ago, and which, after approved
by the legislature, vas vetoed by the
governor. It prohibits a settlement
being made by persons injured in rail

IOWAN TELLS OF
DENMARK'S TROUBLE

Council Bluffs, July 19.--Suffering in
Denmark as the result of the war is
second only to the suffering of Ger
many itself, according to Mrs. Anna
Backoff Of Council Bluffs, who return.
ed from six months visit abroad.
The only difference which can be
noted between conditions In Denmark
and those existing in the interior of
Germany, Mrs Backoff said. is the
Danish army is not engaged in actual
conflict.
AS the result of the war, com
merce is almost at standstill, no
factories OF any kind are in operation,
due to lack of coal; and food is so
scarce that the population is actually
facing starvation.
There are no street cars and the
streets of even the largest cities are
lighted only by candles. Wood and peat
are used for fuel and very sparingly.
The government, Mrs. Backoff says,
exercises rigid control Of all prices.
"It is almost impossible to obtain
meat OF any kind said Mrs. Backoff,
land fish, while reasonably plentiful, Is
very expensive on account Of the in
oraasAd damand fnnm Germany"
