Omaha, Neb., April M-Everythjng is
comparatively quiet in Omaha tonight af
ter the excitement of the last two DAYS
but those who are well informed are IN
clned to the belief that it is the lull be-
fore the storm. Work of all kinds was sus-
pended today. Shops We're deserted aud
wOrkmen turned out in masses to discIss
the al-abSorbng topic of what would be
done for <ellys industrial army. They
stood on corners and in dOorWays and in
many places meetings were held to discuss
the best plan of action Some of them
We're very radical, especially the Omaha
men, who declare that tomorrow will see
forced to recede from their position. There
is serious talk III labor circles of ORDERING
a general strike to bring the railroads to
terms.
The situation in Council Bluffs is getting
serious, and the business men of that city
have taken hand in the matter. They say
that the large crowds of Omaha men
effect their business. They also claim
that they are injured by the taking off of
trains which pass Weston, the place where
the army is now camped, which was cone
as a preca ut ionary measure by the rail
road officials. They have demanded of
Governor jackson that he do something
to end the business and they specially re-
quest that he take steps to keep the Omaha
laborerS at home.
