School Children
M S.WWW A W
They just toddled on and on.
Yet little did the 3-year-old, blue
eyed twins of Mr. and Mrs. Morris
Kaiman, 2520 South Eleventh street,
dream that because of their toddling
away from home a public school in
the vicinity had all but been dismissed
so that the children could turn out
and take up the hunt, that the whole
neighborhood had been aroused and
that the police department of greater
Omaha was on the lookout for them.
The children were playing in the
front yard Monday until an hour be
fore noon and when the mother went
to call them for dinner they were
missing. Mrs. --Kaiman immediately
went to the Lincoln school, where the
told the principal, Miss Pearl Mc
Cumber, that her twins were missing.
Miss McCumber immediately dis
patched a large number of her older
pupils to search for them.
Three of the pupils found Martin,
one of the lost twins, near Twenty
fourth and Vinton, more than a mile
away from his home. The little twin
was all tired out and had cried him
self to sleep by a curbing.
Not so with Percy, Percy toddled
on and on. He was picked up by a
woman just this side of Albright
after 9 o clock, apparently not a bit
tired. The woman took him to the
South Side police station, from where
his mother was advised.
This morning when the two twins
posed for a picture they were so tired
and sleepy that they could hardly
stand up.
Mrs. Kaiman has five children, all
under 9 years of age.
Electrical Union
Enjoined by Court
From Interfering
Omaha electrical contractors won
their suit against Electical Workers'
union No: 22. 'judge Leslie, sitting in
district court, granted a temporary
restraining order enjoining union elec
tricians from alleged intimidation,
property damage, acts of violence and
other unlawful proceedings.
At the hearing for injunction May
15 wrecking of lobs and intimidation
of workmen was charged by contrac
tors in affidavits presented as evi
dence. The court waited until this
morning before handing down a de
cision.
The American Electric company
and eleven other contractors brought
the suit against the officers and mem
bers of the union a month ago. At
that time Judge Leslie issued a tem-
orary order restraining the union
rom molesting men on jobs.
nm mnlestinor men on tons.
According to Judge Leslie's decis-
ion, union men nave no right to go
upon the premises of any "job" where
men are employed and attempt to
talk to them or influence them in any
way.
"The evidence in this cast ist in
some respects, quite meager," said
Judge Leslie, "and if the purpose of
this proceeding were to determine
rights of property between the par
ties, or if iy were sought to tempo
rarily enjoin the defendants from per
forming some act that they had a
legal right to perform, the evidence
might not be considered sufficient."

I GOVERNMENT TAKES
UF MORGAN'S WORK
Federal Commission Will Su
pervise Purchasing Tormerlj
Done by Morgan Bank
for the Allies.
Washington. May 22 The long
standing business agreement between
J. P. Morgan & Co. and the govern
ments of Great Britain and France,
under which (he Morgan firm handled
the bulk of the hundreds of millions
of dollars of purchases made for the
allies in this country, soon is to he
rcplaceHn part, if not wholly, by the
new international agreement, now in
process of formulation, under which
all purchases for the allies will be
made through a commission under
governmental supervision.
The machinery through which the
Morgan firm transacted its huge vol
ume of American purchases, will
stand, in part, however, and probably
will be utilized by the American gov
ernment. Valuable information ob
tained by the Morgan firm as purchas
ing agents for Great Britain and
France already has been placed at
the disposal of the government and
will he used by the new commission.
J. P. Morgan spent several hours to
day discussing the situation with For
eign Minister Balfour of the British
delegation and afterwards with As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury
Crosby.
Made Heavy Purchases.'
As the result of these discussions
It developed that the Morgan firm
hat not only purchased supplies run
ning to many hundreds of millions for
Great Britain and France, but has
also purchased many millions worth
for the governments of Italy and
Russia.
The amount of these purchases, the
commissions and other details of the
agreement have never been disclosed.
Whatever commissions have been paid
by the allies in the past will be saved
to them in the future as the govern
ment's plan it to charge no commis
sion for the services of the purchas
ing agency, but to place the commis
sion at the allies disposal without
further cost than its operating ex
penses. Bill for Dry Referendum
