A Letter Sent Here by Secretary X
Ifher of the AnaeHfcan Railway Unfe

Letter Sent Here by Secretary KEEL
Iiher OF the American Railway Union.
A letter has been received at the head
quarters Of the Knights of Labor in this
city from Secretary Kelliher Of the Ameri-
can Railway Union. who is now serving
term in Woodstock. ILL.,, Jail for participa-
ton, with Eugene v. Debs and others, in
the great Chicago railway strike. which
occurred last year. In his communication
Mr.. Kelliher says: eff ever we were In
need of a press that will stand for prin-
ciple and discuss the live issues OF the day
with honesty and candor. 1t is at the pres
ent time. All appreciate the many cour-
tesies extended to the A. r. U. during Its
most trying period. and perhaps something
about our Jail life and the American Rail-
way Union might be Of interest;
Our second day at Woodstock found US
organized into a systematic working force,
and, although confined to the limited quar-
tiers of q jail. we have not been idle mo-
ment from am. to 10 pm. Seven days IN
the week have been given to the work OF
Ieorganizing the American Railway Union.
"The reports from all parts of the coun-
try are most encouraging; our incarcera-
ton has aroused our members and real
country, and they are doing some excellent
work. The old brotherhoods are dead or
disabled at every point. and their loyalty
to the railroad corporations during the
SlIlhc VI of IS DeiHS TeWdIueu ny
schedules, reductions in wages and dis
charges without cause The men realize
that their only hope lies in compact or,
ganization that embraces all classes OF
employees. .,....-
THE fear of the black list IS rapidly dis
appearing with the growth of the order,
and where there Is still cause to fear that
monstrous practice, the work Is being done
secretly, and the men enrolled without
attending meetings. AS soon as the ma
jority of the men on any system are en-
rolled they will be in position to protect
themselves, and can meet as best suits
their purpose. Every doubt as to the future
of the American Railway Union has been
dispelled, and our men are now working
with determination that knows not the
shadow Of failure.
THE time of all except Brother Debs Will
be up August q, when We will take the
field. better equipped and with more push
and vigor than ever.
The last convention of the American
Railway Union provided for an educational
department. but the big strike came or be-
fore Its details could be arranged. Since
coming to Woodstock we have put this de-
partment In working order and 1t is our
purpose to dig and deIve for facts, search
for truths and promulsate the true prin-
ciples of Industrial reform. Every local
union will be turned into school and pro-
vided with a lecturer and library for the
distribution OF reform literature A."

Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches.

Each season develops at Coney Island
its particular fad in the way of hot lunch
ecns. according to the Baltimore Ameri-
can. One season it was the hot frankfurt
ter. which had a run of several seasons.
and would probably still be popular had it
not been discovered that a factory for the
production of frankfurters was suspicious
ly near repository for dead car horses.
That hurt the sausage industry. Then
came soft crabs on toast and other tempt
ing dishes. This season it is the hot roast
beef sandwich. The beef Is roasted in
front of the passing crowd and cut from
the long rolls and served. 1t is far from
tender. but it is good CROUCH for a person
who will try and satisfy vigorous appe-
tite at the stand of a Coney Island fakr.

Rival Omaha Police Commissioners
Reach an Agreement.
Yesterday was looked forward to as
marking the crisis in the Omaha police
muddle From early hour the city hall
was surrounded by a large crowd, mostly
!. curiosity seekers, awaiting developments.
No effort was made to disperse them.
The A. P. A. police commission convened
at o'clock in the rooms reserved for their
use by the city council. The quarters were
crowded by a gathering of probably 2OI
sympathizers.
A letter was sent to the old commission
asking a conference without, however,
stating the object. The old commission
agreed and indicated the mayors Office.
where the meeting soon began. After an
animated discussion, the old fire and po-
lice commission refused any compromise
except on the basis of permitting the SUI
preme court to pass on the situation.
The A P. A. commission consented and
it was agreed that the old commission
should continue to conduct the offices of
the city until a decision was rendered in
the case.
