nounced by Ben Jacobson, presi-
dent, as being due to the fact that
the new commission, which took Of
fee Monday, failed to acknowledge
or recognize endorsements for ap-
pointments to municipal positions.
The federation officials state that
they feel that labor should be given
consideration in the selection OF
appofntees. They are aroused, they
say. over the fact that communica-
lions of endorsement were not even
introduced at the opening meeting
of the new municipal body, al
though resolutions on appointments
were adopted.
Charles Reagan was the en-
dorsed applicant of the federation
for appointment to the board or
fire and police commissioners and
the failure of the council to intro
duce his application or the endorse
ment principally caused the start

Three-Year-Old Boy
At Silver City Killed
By Passenger Train

The 3-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Haines was killed by a
Wabash passenger train Wednesday
afternoon when he escaped the vigi-
lance of his mother and toddled
down to the railroad tracks nearly
half mile from their home near
Silver City, Ia, 20 miles southeast
of Council Bluffs.
The little fellow was seated on
the end of tie on the cattle-guard
at the roadside when Engineer T. A.
Holcomb caught the first glimpse
of him. He was waving his hands
and shouting his delight as the train
approached. The train was running
nearly 50 miles an hour. The baby
was sitting close to the rail and was
picked up and hurled against the
fence 50 feet away. The body was
crushed almost to pulp. A coro-
ner's inquiry exonerated the engi-
neer from all blame.
