10 Union Pacific Conference Held
Omaha

No Union Pacific Conference Held
at Omaha.
OMAHA. Neb, March 16.-The confer
ence between the employees and the re-
ceivers of the Union Pacific has flashed
in the pan, at least temporarily. The
men today refused to appear before
President Clark and begin their argu.
ments. Yesterday Mr.. Clark held that
the conference was simply for the pur-
pose of showing the reasonableness or
unreasonableness of the new wage
schedule proposed by the RECEIVERS.
The men 90 not take that view of the
situation. They say they will only go
into conference for the purpose of
showing that the old schedule was
binding contract on the old Off
Gals of the road, which the re-
ceiverS must respect. This is the point
that President Clark denies.
He holds that no regulations or Sched-
uleS In force prior to the receiverShip
constitute contracts or establish con.
tractural relations between the Union
Pacific and its employees; that whatever
contracts existed were eXecutory in
character and not binding upon the re-
ceivers. Also, if either of the above
propositions is denied by the employees
an issue of law is raised which must be
submitted to the court.
The men held private conference of
their own and decided that they would
never submit to the order issued by the
receivers. 1t is believed that nothing
will be done until Judge Caldwell issues
an order that will bring together the
two sides.

OF course everybody has heard of the

with the worlds fair. This connection,
in some respects, was of rather unsavory
character, for number of fakes, shams
and frauds availed themselves of the
opportunity to make display of them
selves before that portion Of the world
which went to see the fair. The visit
of the board of lady managers to some
of these fake institutions has become
celebrated.
But after all, the genuine and real
Midway Plaisance was a II it claimed to
