II. O. Davis, secretary of the Council
llluffs Trades aud Labor assembly, la
charged with being short In his accounts,
and a special meeting of the assembly has
been called for Thursday evening;. Tho
alleged shortage' Is being Investigated by a
committee consisting of William McKlnlcv,
13. II. Gardiner, 1. Ulnk, Frank Kdgar and

inuko Its report at tho meeting Thursday
evening.
It Is said tho Shortage complained of ex
tends over a period of sevcrnl months and
that a portion ot thu amount has been re
paid by Davis, but that his failure to make
complete restitution resulted In the ns
Ecnilily taking tho action of appointing a
committee to make n thorough Investiga
tion of his books and accounts. Among
other things it Is charged that a sum of
money voted by the assembly to assist a
striking union In Cedar Hnplds was charged
up by Davis on his books, but never for
unrded to tho union.
When confronted some time ago with tho
charge of being short in his accounts, Davis
Is said to havo admitted It and to havo prom
ised to' pay the amount back in month) v
Installments. Ho made one or two pay
ments, It Is alleged and then Is said to
have declined to make any more. Pending
tho Investigation Davis has been removed
from tho olllco of secretary and Frnnk Kd
gar Is acting In his stead.
Davis la a 'member of Illtiff City Typo
graphical union, from which ho wns nn ac
credited delcgato to the Trades nnd Labor
assembly. Tho Typographical union has
cancelled his credential and Is now rep
resented by another delegate. Davis has
been prominent In labor circles and has
been secretary of tho Trades nnd I-ibor as
sembly In th la city since Its organization.
Mr. Davis denies that there la nny short
ago In his accounts with tho Trades and
Labor nsscmbly, nnd his statement Is cor
roborated by Jeff n. Dietrich, financial sec
retary. Mr. Davis says spltework on the
part of Boiuo of tho members Is responsible
