SEEK ALLEGED
CHILD sTEALERs
TRAIL GYPSY BAND THOUGHT
TO HAVE KIDNAPPED SMALL
BOY FROM NORTH DAKOTA.

Watertown, Aug. 29.-The au-
thorities of eastern South Dakota,
at the request of officers from Bis
amrck, N. D., are keeping watch for
band of gypsies, travelling in four
automobiles, who are believed to
have in their custody, white child
between three and four years of age
which they are alleged to have kid
mapped. The father of the child has
come to South Dakota with the of
ficers from North Dakota with the
officers from North Dakota to aid
in the search for his missing off
spring.
The little boy was thought to
have been drowned in the Missouri
river near his home in North Da-
kota, while at play about three
months ago. Search, however, failed
to reveal the body. The gypsies in
camp near the scene of the supposed
drowning left there shortly after
ward. The parents later received re-
ports that the gypsies had a white
child with them when they departed
and in the hope that it might be
their missing boy the trail of the
gypsies has since been followed in
the hope that the missing boy may
be alive and well.
The reports to the parents were
TO effect that the gypsies had al
different points while enroute to
South Dakota endeavored TO find a
home for the child on condition that
those accepting the child would pay
them a certain sum. indicating that
if they kidnapped the boy they are
seeking TO make money from the
crime.
The father and the North Dakota
Officers have trailed the gypsies to
this state. and now are supposed TO
be close on their trail. They reach
ed several cities only "a hours after
the departure of the gypsy caravan,
so il is expected the gypsies soon will
be overhauled SO it can be definitely
established whether or not they have
the missing North Dakota boy with
them.

RAILROAD MEN ar
REJECT THE PLAN
TURN DOWN THE PROPOSAL OF
THE LABOR BOARD.

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Rules govern
promulgated by the United States
railroad labor board last week, to
supplant the overtime rules of the
national agreement covering shop
crafts employees, were rejected as
'unjustified' by conference of re-
gional executive boards of the rail-
way employees department of the
American Federation of Labor to-
day.
A letter was sent today TO all To-
Gals, conveying the results OF a
three-day conference just concluded.
BY no conceivable line of reason.
ing" the letter said, "can decision
222 be justified and this body de-
clines to accept it"
All union members were warned,
however, to remain at work until
further official action is taken by
union officials. The letter advised
that ii was considered best to wait
until the labor board had issued sub
stitute rules for the entire national
agreement before taking a referen-
dunn vote on the matter.
Meanwhile, however, the letter adj
vised the men lin time of peace to
prepare for war"
The seven rules announced by the
board last week cover payments for
overtime, Sundays and holidays. A
-
made and labor leaders declared the
new rules would materially effect the
earnings of ship employees. A. ..
Wharton, labor member of the board d,
strongly dissented from the majority
decision.
Dissatisfaction that but seven or
the 1S6 rules of the national agree
ment had been passed upon b. the
board was also expressed.
Intention to urge the board to dl.
pose of all general rules immediately
was expressed. Until all the rules
are promulgated the executive boards
decided to adjourn before taking any
final action.
"If a satisfactory settlement is not
obtained and the membership by vote
supports the position of this body.
there will be need or the use of the
full power and strength of these Or
ganizations in collective action" the
letteresaid.
with thi conclusion firmly fixed
in our minds, we hold ii TO be the
duty of each individual member TO
in time of peace prepare for war
and each of you are. therefore, re-
auested to carefully conserve your
personal, finances, secure supplies of
food, clothing. fuel and other house
hold necessities"
The signatures of all, the presi-
dents of the six shop crafts unions
appear on the letter.
