Western Union Telegraphcr crs Issue a
Forcibie Address.

The following addresses aud call for q
meeting, issued by the telegraphers OF
Oma ha, is a result of the recent difficulty be-
tween the Western Union and some of the
employees. The meeting will doubtless be
largely attended:
OMAHA, Oct. 25.-To the telegraphers Of
Omaha and vicinity, greeting AS you are
aware, the Western Union telegraph com
pany, has made an effort to crush out the
brotherhood of teegraghers by discharging
anu mber of its members. By this action, it
acknowledges its stand. 1t denies the right
of its employees to organize, and attempts to
place them under subugaton. 1t tries to
take away mans manhood and to abrogate
his privileges as an American citizen.
The question now before the fraternity is,
Shall we be reduced to the condition of the
negro prior to 1862 Must we submit to the
autoclacy OF a few minor officials W hO think
to curry favor with their superiors by Op-
pressing their employees. We think not.
Therefore, we respectfully request all the
telegraphers of Omaha and the vicinity
to meet with us at Goodrich
hall, Twenty fourth and Paul streets today
at 2 p. M. This meeting is not for the
purpose of causing anyone trouble but to
some course whereby full and free under
standing may be had with the Western
Union telegraph company. All who
have the cause of telegraphy at heart
are earnestly requested to be
present aud participate in the meeting,
After the meeting an executive session of the
brotherhood will be held to which meeting
all members are urgently requested to be
present as we need your presence and your
counsel. Very respectfully
COMMITTEE.

Social affairs are rapidly getting into shape
for the season, but as it looks now there will
be no important entertainments until after
the Christmas holidays, which, as usual, will
bring many of the young people home from
college, and also be to some extent given up
TO pleasant family reunions and the enter
tainment Of intimate friends.
just now most Of the women of fashion
like the rest of the world, are mainly occu.
pied with the dressmaker the decorator, and
with household and personal matters in gen
eral 1t is time Of preparation. The fd-
dies are tuning as it were, and soon the music
will strike up. The flowers are being ar
ranged, and in little while the bouquet will
be ready.
Almost every season has its characteristics,
and while every winter the young element IN
society has been coming more and more to
the front, last season was noticeable and
distinguished as one IN which the young So
ciety people had almost everything their own
way aud, in fact, iran" society.
This, of course is an intensely modern in
povation, for it does not require going rack
many years TO recall an arrangement in
beardleSs youths did not take the initiative in
social intercourse or festivity.
IT was said OF last winters entertainments
In Omaha that the young people did as they
IIsaStu. ucy BOJ up ever llltB. dllilOSl
and led in everything, and it was the more
mature and the ''old folksn who had to take
a back seat.
The coming season, as it looks now, will be
even more OF young peoples season than
last. There are a number Of buds, pretty and
attractive, and they promise to shape enter
tainments during the season. OF course the
men and women, who have figured actively
in the smart world for several seasons back,
will not be left out in the cold; they, too, will
hntr hut
of their younger brothers and sisters who arc
launching their boats for the first time
Then marriage has played havoc with the
eligible bachelors and they are out of the
race, so that the field is really narrowing
down To small proportions in comparison tc
the number of starters last season. But the
loss OF the bachelors will be somewhat
assuaged by the presence of quite number
of charming young married men and women
so that altogether there will be spice, nay
flavor, in the social world, which will throw
open its doors by the time the holidays are
upon US.
