oELWElN STRIKE STILL ON.
Shopmen Refuse to Go Back to Work.
Trouble Expected.

Oelwein. Aug. I'm the first test Of
the strength of the c. G. w. and the
local unions, the unions won out de-
cisively. When the shops were opened
yesterday under the new wage sched-
ule only about fifteen or twenty ma
chinists went back to work. No one
went back to work in the blacksmith
and roundhouse departments. Altho
the striking men have conducted
themselves in a most orderly manner
during the strike. it is believed that
trouble is about to break out, now
that few men have gone back to
work. 1t was reported that one man
was beaten up on his way home from
the shops last evening. altho the report
could not be verified.
It is the consensus Of opinion Of
residents Of Oelwein that the men arc
entitled to all they are asking of the
railroad company. They ask that the
union be recognized and that regular
union wages be paid. The company
submitted new wage scale today. but
this is not strong enough to get the
men back. They want the union
recognized and propose 10 hold ont
until the company comes to their
terms. - fsf- Z g.F.

Ho,v Io,Ua Flyer in
France Fought Seuen
Germans, by Wines.

Chicago. Aug. How Jim" Hall, Of
Colfax, Iowa, an American flyer of the
Lafayette escadrille, won his croix de
guerre and medaille militaire in bat
tie with seven German airplanes three
miles above the earth is told by Chi
cago boy with the escadrille in letter
to relatives. Hall, the author Of ''Kitch-
ener's Mob" was a newspaper man in
Boston before the war.
ION his second patrol" the Chica-
goan writes Of Hall, 'he attacked a
German, and was overwhelmed by six
others, who were lurking near, above
him. The history of his return is a
miracle. Some fate saved him from
doom. With bullet thru his lung,
just missing his heart, and bullet
scratches on his forehead and his thigh,
he lost consciousness entirely after the
internal racket Of half a dozen ma
chine guns.
HE reused In minute, to find him
self crashing downward, his motor go
ing full. His left arm was paralyzed.
He managed to bring his machine UP
into line of flight and then he lost con-
seriousness again. Once again he
reused and managed to shut OF his
motor. Then, when he was about 100
meters from the ground, everything
went black again, and the next thing
he knew French soldiers were pulling
him out of the machine.
He had fallen just back of the first
line of trenches and had fallen into a
trench in such a way that the wings
caught and prevented him from being
smashed to pieces. We all heard that
he could not live, but now there is
splendid hope that he may win thru
