1t is asserted by labor leaders that the
talk of a strike this summer has been in
spired by outslders-those who have drifted
into South Omaha within the last few
months. The local unions have been mis-
represented in some publications and for
this reason The Bee is requested to publish
the following:
AT regular meeting of Local union No.
7ll2, American Federation of Labor of
South Omaha, it was reported that parties
protesting to represent that body had been
soliciting money for the purpose of estab-
fishing a fund to aid in maintaining strike
in South Omaha. The public is hereby
notified that no such action has been taken
by this union and that said parties are
frauds of the first water,
"Our body is in need of no such aid, as
we do not expect a strike neither at this
time nor in the future, as the indications
are that there will soon be plenty of work
for all
should occasion require us to solicit
aid from the public our solicitors will carry
papers bearing the official seal of the order.
We are pleased to state that our union is IN
a hourishing condition and does not desire
a strike"
This communication is signed by three
members of the committee. 1t was reported
last week that two persons were going
about the city soliciting subscriptions to a
fund alleged to be for the benefit of a sup
posed strike committee. Nearly all cf the
labor unions here have exposed the impos-
tors and it is thought that they have left
the city.
Every well informed laboring man asserts
that there is now no trouble existing be-
tween the packers and the men and that
there will be no trouble this summer.
