Kraft E. Eicher Flies Into
t Rage Over a Cartoon
of Kaiser Wilhelm
Kraft E. Eicher, boilermaker fore
man at the Northwestern railway
y . round house, is alleged to have been
very much depressed by the news
coming from the Picardy and Marne
battle fronts, and was unable to join
with his fellow workers in ce'ebrating
the allied victories. Tuesday morning
when he came to wotU he found his
locker wearing a vivid coat of yellow
paint. It hurt his feelings to such
n extent that he did not return to
the shops' during the day.
The railroad boys are intensely
patriotic, and Monday afternoon one
, o.' them posted a big cartoon showing
the kaiser and his Huns getting theirs.
Eicher flew into a rage and tofe it
down. It is alleged that something
happened then of such personal nature
to Mr. Eicher that he hurriedly left
the yards. The incident created a
tremendous wave of enthusiasm and
war fervor about the yards, and the
, effort of the railroad officials to keep
the matter quiet failed utterly.
It was said last evening that both
the railroad officials and the federal
officers are making an investigation.
It is significant that every stripe of
yellow paint put on the lockr repre
sented the protest of a fellow work
" man, more than 100 in number.
Eicher was l-rn in Germany but
came to this coin'ry when he was
5 years old. He has been ve;y thrif
ty and has accumulated considerable
property in addition to his comfort
able home on Avenue D, Council
Bluffs. He has valuable property
in Waterloo, la., where he formerly
f lived. When he returned to the
roundhouse Tuesday morning and
saw his decorated '.-cker he
left immediately. He was not f-und
at his home later in the day, but was
. sajdij have gone to Waterloo with
the intention of remaining indefinite
ly. '
