BOY, IN DRAFT
LIST, SUICIDES

Wyndmere, II. D., Feb. 9.-Worry
over the draft and the circumstances
# would leave his father in il all the
boys were taken, is believed to have
prompted John Stajger, son Of Frank
Stajger, residing 10 miles south Of
here, to end his life by shooting.
Stajger walked about a mile from
his home to a clump Of brush near
the Wild Rice river. He placed a
loaded shotgun in a position so that
the discharge would enter the heart.
He tied a string to one trigger, en-
circled tree close by, returned the
string to the other trigger and sitting
down, gun in hands and aiming at
his heart, gave the jerk which dis
both barrels.

CANTEEN FOOD
PRICES REDUCED
Aviation Students Enjoyed
Feast of Cake, Candy
and Nuts

American Aviation Camp. South
srn Italy, Jan. neutrality-suspicious.
of The Associated s.)-The food
problem recently attained the dig
nifty of a crisis here. When the
United States government arranged
for the training Of Americans here,
1t was agreed that i've lire per day
should be paid for the feeding of
each aviation officer in the making,
a sum amply equal to advanced food
prices, considering the several hun
dreds of men to be fed. A contract
to feed the men was let to q local
restaurant proprietor but he became
imbued with the idea that Ameri-
cans have plenty OF money and are
anxious to spend 1T. For many
weeks the Americans, absorbed in
their training, accepted the food
given them. They merely went down
into their own pockets and patron
ICED the candy stores OF the city, it's
restaurants, but particularly the
canteen where the Italian soldiers Of
the camp spent their money for
drinks, sandwiches, and omelets.
Gradually the price Of canteen
products rose so high the Italian
soldiers were unable IN patronizs
il and complained to their officers.
These latter investigated jointly
with the American officers, with the
result that canteen prices were re-
duced $50 per cent and the con-
tractor in charge of the American
mess had to beg to be given q
chance to hold his contract.
This happened just before Christ
mas and as the Americans were be-
ing paid on for the first time in
three months, they persuaded their
10 let them all go to
Rome and Naples and gorge them
selves. There they engaged in veri-
table food orgies. They bought
candy and nuts and cake by five
pound lots, retiring to their rooms
to eat after taking regular restau-
rant meals. Some OF the men were
reported to have eaten six meals a
day
one of the features OF the recep-
ton given at Rome by Ambassador
Nelson Page and Mrs.
Page at the PalazzO del Drago to
the young men was a spread Of cake
and candy weighing down several
tables. Although all present ate
freely from the tables, their ap-
petities seemed merely to have been
whetted. for they were later found
standing ont i'm front Of candy stores
eating more cake and candy. Sew

NO COMPROMISE
Union President Expresses Regret
Over Stand of Chamber of
Commerce.
REQUESTED SUBSCRIPTIONS
Men Stick for Original Claims
Awaiting Result of Meeting
This Afternoon.

Rock Island firemen will agree
to no compromise.
Henry Herman, president of the
firemen's union, stated in an in
terview with an Argus representa-
tive this afternoon that the stand
taken by the board of directors of
the Rock Island Chamber of Com
merce, as explained in another
article in this issue of The Argus.
is regretted by the firemen, who.
the union president claims, will
stick for their original claim.
A meeting was held by the board
of directors of the Chamber of
Commerce last night, which was
attended by representatives of the
firemen and by Commissioner John
II. Liedtke, representing the city.
The meeting was held for the pur-
pose of taking up the request of
the firemen to the Chamber of
Commerce that the local body take
steps looking to the circulation of
popular subscription to obtain
ample funds to keep the remaining
fire stations open, and also to raise
the firemen's wages $50 a month as
a permanent increase with the
abolition of the war bonus.
The request OF the fremen fol-
lowed their failure to come to a
suitable agreement with the CITY
commissioners, who announced
that they would be willing to meet
the directors of the Chamber of
Commerce in a discussion of what
can be done regarding the sub
Scription.

sidering the situation, decided that
they do not favor the popular sub
scription plan. but that another
meeting will be held with the fire.
men late this afternoon in an ef-
fort to bring about compromise.
The city officials say that they
have accepted the designations of
the fremen notwithstanding the
TACT that the men were asked to re-
turn to the fire force temporarily
pending efforts toward a settle
ment, and, that the men will now
be dealt with as individuals and NOT
as an organization.
The President Of the fremen's
union contends that the firemen re
signed as an organization, came
back to their posts on request as
an organization, and that they
must be dealt with in the future as
an organization, and not as indi-
viduals.
The union president also states
that he is positive that the men will
stick for the keeping open of the
remaining stations, the $40 in
crease and the every fourth day off
provision. all of which have been
the main points of contention.
These are stated as final in an
agreement which the firemen would
entertain as fair, and that if they
are not allowed it is up to the men
to leave as they see fit as their
designations have already been ac-
cepted, and they are not now en-
ployes of the city in the strict
sense of the word.
