Wilson Gives His views.

Fourth Vice President Wilson of the
machinists' union. who has general charge
Of the Union Pacific strike, was present at
the meeting and talked with and to the
street railway men. Outside the building
two or three representatives Of the strik-
ing bodies were stationed to direct any
caller not familiar with the building in
which the meeting was being held. One OF
these said: I'VE want the street railway
men to organize for our own and for their
own good. The company's charter does
not say anything about the 20-cent WACO
and these men should not rely on II nor be
too confident Of their 20 cents in the flu
ture. II they send a committee to head
quarters, as requested by Mr.. Tucker. the
committee MAJ get some concessions, but
the company Will be only playing for time.
1t will want to staye on Organization in
the hope that eventually the move will be
abandoned. A committee should not be
sent there until 1t has an organization to
represent and to back II up. There are
more han 500 of the car men in Omaha
and about 400 more employed on the Coun-
ell Bluns and bridge lines. It was our
hope to have all these organized together,
as they would be a power II united"
A properly accredited member Of the fed
GRAFTON board, Union Pacific strike com
mittee. said that yesterday he was at tbs
south terminal Of the Harvey line meeting
the carmen there as they turned their cara
and that several Of them contributed to the
support OF the unorganized helpers. Later
he went TO the Burlington station. terminal
Of the Dodge line, to see those on the cars
there and that Foreman Larson rebuHed
him with q declaration thai he didn't be-
lieve in such methods nor In giving money
under such conditions.
This seemed to slightly intimidate the
conductor l was about to address," said
the member OF the federated board, ''bu,
/ was prefectiy frank In all my dealings
and was not pressing the men 70 give II
they weren't inclined. I invited them to come
up here to the hall, however. for a confer
ence on the matter OF contributing. Later
we shall resume our talks with policemen
for the same purpose and before long We
expect to have a public mass meeting 81
which we Will invite public men TO speal
and at which I shall make a further effort
in behalf OF the loyal helpers"

uled to report there, ten or even fifteen

ary; that we are paid only monthly in
stead OF every two weeks, as many Of us de-
sire; IND that on the Farnam line the
night men get only about eight hours,
whereas the day men get ten hours work.
His reply was hat we and the company
could get together on these things easily
II we would send a committee to the head
quarters of the company Monday next for
q conference. He said the company's pres
ent officers are to remain. But l came to
the meeting, anyhow, in the hope that or
ganization would be accomplished; at least.
that we would take al initial step by
~electing a temporary chairman, secretary
and treasurer. l am not afraid Of losing
my Job, but some of the men seem to be a
little skittish, and l notice that they wore
their store clothes tonight, instead Of their
uniforms. I believe that IL any Of the men
should be discharged for attending this
meeting 1t might result in a general strike,
though our feelings now toward the COM
pany are kindly, and we are making no
complaint Of the pay"

ORGANIZING THE CAR MEN
Street Railway Employees Have a Prelimi-
nary Meeting for That Purpose.
NO TROUBLE WITH PRESENT MANAGEMENT
slight DiRerences Can he Easily "A
justed, but Men Are Fearful of
the Result of a Change
of Ownership.

Two hundred or more Of the coo motor
men and conductors employed by the Omaha
Street Railway company accepted the invi-
tation Of Representatives Of organized labor
to meet with them in a hall on the fourth
floor Of the Continental block last night.
The meeting was for the dual purpose OF
discussing organization OF the street rail
way employees and Of giving them an oppor-
tunity TO contribute to the support Of the
500 unorganized helpers who went out on
the Union Pacific strike and who, having
no full membership in the large unions, are
receiving no strike benefit payments. The
meeting lasted we'll into the morning and a
considerable amount Is said to have been
contributed, but the matter Of organization
was not acted upon and II is said another
meeting win be called.
Saturday afternoon General Manager Will
liam A. Smith and General superintendent
Fred A. Tucker of the street railway COM
pany had a number Of the employees before
them and argued against the latter under
taking organization. The argument was
that such action would be unnecessary, as
the company is ready TO meet any reason
able demand or confer over grievances at
any time.
A conductor made this statement to a
reporter for The Bee last night:
Looking to the Future.
Both motormen and conductors are re-
ceiving a wage Of 20 cents per hour, as pro-
vided for the old cable lines on Harvey and
Dodge streets, by the company's charter.
We have never organized here nor in Coun-
ell Bluffs, nor have we had any serious
trouble, but this week when there came up
the matter Of the company's selling out
some Of the boys grew fearful that the
present executives would not continue in
office. and as their successors might be a
different kind Of men, they looked on or
ganization as perhaps a wise provision for
the future. I understand tina the Amalga-
mated order of Street Railway employees
sent i've men here to work with representa-
tives Of Central Labor union in the promo
tion Of a union for us. Indirectly, We
would be a help to the Union Pacific strik.
ers If we should organize. as we would go
into a central body here and pay dues. The
officials got wind of the matter. and Mama
ger Smith and Superintendent Tucker talked
to us about It. l was at one Of the car
barns yesterday when the superintendent
was there, and l heard him say that ne dis
liked to see agitation of this matter, as
the company and the men had always got
ten along so well together.

A StrHnEc CDnlnQcf.

An interesting and puzzling sight
greets the visitor to Mount Moriah
cemetery, Philadelphia. Some 20
years ago three eccentric men Of
wealth put up in the most secluded
corner three tall shafts Of rough hewn
granite. They had been friends long
time and they agreed that as each
died his shaft was to be broken and
the fragments left where they fell.
The second Of this trio has just passed
away and his column has been shat
tered. as was that of his former friend
years ago. No fence incloses the
strange monuments, and no names are
carved on the granite.-Ch;cago

sessions Of state legislatures is percep-
tible in every section of the country,
SAYS the Atlanta Journal. Alabama,
in her new constitution, provides that
that her legislature shall meet but
once in four years. unless some cmer-
gency shall require an extra session,
1t is said that this provision was one
of the most popular that the coHyen-
ti0n put into tho state organic law
Within the last few year several other
states have widened the space between
sessions OF their legislatures and in
others there is a demand for like re-
form that seems likely to be recognized
in the early future, The Georgia
legislature meets every year. but its
sessions are limited by the c0nStitC-
tion to fifty days and We have cn en-
average fewer legislative days than we
had when the legislature met hienni-
ally in its regular session, but had the
privilege Of a summer session the year
after the regular one. The opposition
to frequent sessions is based partly on
consideration of expense; but mainly
on the idea that a multiplicity OF new
law is unnecessary and mischievous
Last year no less than 5000 new laws
we're enacted by our ssate and terrific
rial legislatures. Of course, many Of
these had merely local application.
but a very large proportion of them
extended throughout the juridiction of
the enacting bodies: Experience leads
Us to expect that many of these new
laws will be repealed at the first op-
portunity. and. it may be, before they
have had fair trial. The people are
growing weary of this making and un-
making of laws. They prefer to have
well-matured legislation that will meet
all requirements for some years to
come and disturb the citizen and his
business less than more frequent pas
sage of new statistics. In some states
the peoplple hardly become aware of
the enactment of new laws before
they are wiped out; the legislative
authority busies itself almost inces-
sanity with making and unmaking
rules ef conduct and dealing. Every
legislature has a number of members
who are ambitious to make an i'm
press upon the code of their state, and
they are apt to indulge an injudicious
activity in endeavoring to do so. This
accounts in large measure for unncces-
sary legislation, which, in many in
stances is pernicious legislation also.
The demand for a slower pace in law
making is well-founded.
