TOSETTLE PLUMBERS STRIKE
Reference to Local Trades and Labor
Assembly Way Out.
INDICATIONS POINT TO THIS MEANS
Objection to the Interference of the
Omaha Union the Principal
Cause of the Bosses
Holding Back.
INDICATIONS POINT TO THIS MEAN

There are good prospects that the
plumbers strike will be called settled in
a few days at the latest. The bosses OBJ
jected chiefly TO the Omaha union debating
as to the manner in which they should con
duct their business. 1t now looks as II the
whole question will be turned over TO the
Trades and Labor assembly OF this city to
settle and II that is done IL Is believed there
will be no difficulty in arriving al settle
ment that will be entirely satisfactory to
both sides.
Some OF the union plumbers who went
out have secured work in Omaha, but the
others are still idle. Three OF the nom
union plumbers who were prevailed upon by
the strikers to quit work have decided that
1t paid better to be at work and have so
notified their bosses. One OF these men
worked for stephan Bros, while the other
two were employed by the New York Plumb
ing company.
The bosses have taken firm stand and
will refuse under any circumstances to sign
the agreement submitted by j. E. Mulane
OF the Omaha union and they say further
that they will not treat with representa-
tives of the union across the river. They
say. however that they are perfectly will
ing and ready to discuss the questions at
issue with the Council Bluffs workmen.
Manager Hart of the New York Plumbing
company said "If. as l see it is reported
the striking plumbers have decided to leave
the dispute to be settled by the Trades and
Labor assembly of this city to arbltrate
see no reason why a settlement satisfactory
to both sides cannot be arrived at. We are
and have been all the time perfectly will
ing and ready to refer the questions at issue
to the workmen of this city, but we certainly
will never permit the Omaha union to die
tate to us how we should run our business"

paid for liquor purchased by him. Turn
bloom conducted a saloon in Council Bluffs
during 1898 and claims that during that time
he paid the above mentioned amount of
money to the Omaha brewery and alleges
that the sale to him OF intoxicating liquor
by the defendant company was contrary to
the laws Of Iowa and on these grounds he
bases his right to recover

ing will be opened by Judge Green this

Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1899-06-07

The INDEX had hoped that it would
be unnecessary to say much through
its columns relative to the proposed &C
tion Of the county attorney in bringing
suit against the Office Tor rent, but the
put In" and false statements Of the
Cresset compel us to state the facts
concerning the matter. The title Of
the lot on which our building is located
is in doubt. The county received a quit
claim deed from Vanslyke& Freidley in
1879, but the parties granting the quit
claim did not own the lot. A jail was
built but after several years was de-
strOyed by fire. The lot was idle until
the fall of 1886, when Caruthers s. Mus.
grove. then owners Of the INDEX, had
an abstract made, went before the COM
missioners, told them that they desired
to buy it, but showed them that the
county had no title. The commission.
ers conceded that they could not exc
cute a good deed but proposed to Ca
ruthers & Musgrove that they &c. 4 NJ
should have undisputed possession of
the lot 80 far as the county's claims
were concerned, by paying $50, until
the county should desire the said lot
for the purpose Of building Jail there
on" The proposition was accepted
and receipt of the $50 was acknowledge
ed in the contract. In the spring of 'S7
the building was erected by Caruthers
Il hn
taxes on 1t eyer since, from $50 to SEQ
every year. The party who owned the
lot could not be reached and hence no.
body desired 1t as 1t was considered
worthless. Ii the INDEX had not &C.
cupied 1t, it would not have yielded a
cent of revenue to the county, as is the
case with lots adjacent, and it is plain
that the county is ahead in the transac-
ton.
1t does not require much study to see
that, between the county and the In
DEX, the latter has the better title, and
it 10 rank injustice for the county to
claim rent.
The INDEX realizes that the republic
can party is in absolute control of cOun-
ty and judicial affairs and we are frank
to say that not one of them would be in
Office If we could have prevented, but
just the same we propose to stand on
our rights and we are going to have
justice. We do not propose to stand
idly by and have our property stolen
for the only reason that we do not be-
long to the party In power. We are GO
ing to think what we please and we
will continue to publish facts as they
exist regardless of what our county at
torney in embryo may think about it.
We owe the county nothing and We in
slst we shall not put up any blood mon
ey to anybody.
