BROTHERHOOD
RESUMES OLD
ORGANIZATION

CLEVELAND, June 80 CP,-The
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
through its triennial convention here
late today, reverted to its former
method of organization in which the
grand chief engineer is it's chief
executive officer
The action, which eliminates the
offices of president, first and second
vice presidents and secretary, came
with the adoption Of a committee
resolution which provided for the
change but made no mention what
ever of the present holders of these
offices.
A second resolution adopted by the
convention authorized Alvanley John
ston, present grand chief engineer,
to name board Of three temporary
trustees to take over the management
of the brotherhood's financial enter
prises
William B. Premier, president of
the brotherhood; L. c. Friffing, first
vice president; Harry P. Daugherty,
second vice president, and G. E.
Lindquist, secretary, are the officers
who will be eliminated by the action.
They will continue to hold office until
the regular election Of officers comes
up at the close of the convention,
probably week or ten days from
now. At that time, on the basis of
today's action, the offices will be
permitted to lapse
Immediately after the close of the
n a W.
following as the temporary board of
trustees:
c. 0. Barnhart, of Spokane, Wash,
president Of the brotherhood banks
in Spokane and Portland and chair
man of the board of the Pacific
Brotherhood Investment Company of
San Francisco; c., w. Simpson, of
Lancaster, Tenn, president of the
Lancaster Banking company, and A..
j. Campbell, Of Fort William, Mont.
delegate.
The new set up of officers, which
amounts to a reversal to the organiza-
ton in effect before the office Of
president was created for the late
Warren S. Stone, provides for a grand
chief engineer, permanent board
of three trustees for the financial
operations and an advisory board to
be composed of a group of assistant
grand chief engineers, probably about
nine in number.
The convention adopted the reso-
luton deposing the brotherhood's
executive officers after President
Premier had issued statement say
ing he would not resign under fire.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE

For Signor Mussolini I
Have but the deepest admiration,
AS easy as the well known pie
He finds the conduct of a nation.
He is the master OF the show
He rules both king and legislature,
But one thing that he does not know
Is human nature.
In filling an important place
He looks about for this or that man,
And never in single case
Will he consent to pick a fat man.
While Caesar, who was quite as great,
And made all ancient Egypt fear
him
When he put on the robes of state
Liked fat men near him.
For fat men need but to be fed;
They bear no hatred or resentment,
Give them their meals and clothes
and bed
And they will rest in calm con-
tentment.
The men whose fancy turns to. crime
The scheming, sly--in short, the
mean ones,
Who stir up trouble all the time
Are gaunt and lean ones.
If Mussolini hopes for peace
Within his prospering nations bor-
ders,
He only will appoint obese
And weighty men to take his orders;
Thin gentlemen, who think and plot,
Are useful now and then for action,
But as advisors they do not
Give satisfaction

Cutting off
Water Is Ruled
EatOrtiOn

BERLIN, May 18.-The practice Of
many landlords of shutting off the
water supply of tenants unable to
pay their rent has been declared
by the courts of Danzig to be a
form of extortion and therefore
punishable by law.
A precedent was established at
the trial of a shoemaker. Herr Ste
chow. who had shut off the water
supply of some Of his tenants. The
tenants were in arrears because al
most their entire income had been
attached by the court for other out
standing debts. The prosecuting at
torney described Stechow's procedure
as "a most reprehensible form OF
blackmail," and the court sentenced
the landlord to fine of 100 gulden
or two weeks jail.
