Ordinance Violated
by Shikebreakers

Sioux City, Ia, July l5.-As the
result of the arrest of several of its
stationary engineers, under pro-
visions of city ordinance, the Great
Northern railroad today filed a bill
of complaint in federal court here
asking that city officials be enjoined
from acting under the ordinance OH
the ground that it is improper.
Federal Judge C. Scott set Mon
day afternoon as the time for the
hearing on the matter. All men,
bers of the council, the two city at
torneys, the police judge and mem
berss of the city's board of examin-
ing engineers are defendants in the
action. Two strikebreaking engi-
neers were fined recently in police
court for violating city ordinance
by operating a steam boiler without
license. The railroad contends that
it is working indirectly for the gov
ernment by transporting mail and,
therefore, is not obliged to obey the
ordinance.

Union Pacific Denied
Right to Take Off Trains

Lincoln, Neb., July l5.-(Special
Telegram)-The state railway COM
mission today denied application of
the Union Pacific to discontinue the
following trains: Motor trains 500
and $40, between Genoa and Ster-
ling: steam trains % and "a, be-
tween Council Bluffs and Albion,
Neb.; steam trains 50 and "a, be-
tween Albion and Genoa.
Loss of revenue due to increased
use of automobiles was given as the
reason for making application. The
commission pointed out certain econ
omies could be practiced, but pointed
out that increased motor bus trans
portation was making branch line
business improbable. The applica-
ton had nothing to do with the pres
ent rail strike and was filed several
months before the strike was called.

Fremont, Neb. July l5.-(Spe-
cial. .)-Lloy Foss, Superior, and Joe
Kelly, Webster, both IS, made a
sensational escape from the Dodge
county Jail at an early hour Saturday
morning
Foss was arrested recently follow
ing his confession to the robbery of
the Eddy Bros. department store
and the looting of several homes in
the city. His youth and the fact that
he stole money to buy Boy Scout
uniform at the same store the next
day aroused public sentiment in his
behalf and steps were already under
way by Scout Commander Harry
Webb to have the boy paroled.
Kelly was captured in Grand Is
land with car stolen from Web
ster township farmer. At the time
Of his capture, he flashed gun in
the face Of the officer, ! but was easily
subdued
The Jail delivery, one of the most
clever and daring attempts in the
local jail, showed skill of old offend
ers. The boys left note reading:
"Goodby-hope you won't miss US,
Lloy and Joe"
They had been confined in one
cell. By means of a hook taken from
the upper bunk, they tried open a
steel screen to the window that led
to the open corridor of the Jail.
Blotches of blood about the cell
indicates that one of the boys suf-
fered an injury while forcing his
way to freedom.
Their way was clear to the office
of the Jail and thence to the kitchen,
where they procured milk bottle.
With this they smashed the window
in the door leading to the third floor
OF the courthouse and freedom. An
abandoned car was found at Elk
City Saturday morning and officials
believe the youths used the machine
in their getaway. Sheriff Condit and
his squad of deputies were in the vi
cinity of the railroad yards to pre-
vent strike demonstrations when
the prisoners made their successful
attempt to gain liberty.
Young Foss was captured by
Omaha police while he was prowling
near the home of NJ. D. Cameron, 2l6
North Thirty-second avenue, Satur-
day afternoon. He told police he
and his companion separated after
reaching Omaha.

Let US act now, before it is too
late. Let US preserve these precious,
though unfortunate little men and
