Of the Spooner amendments to the isthmian
canal bill will be prosecuted with the ut
most expedition consistent with the ma

mated Charles H. Russell, an assistant to
the attorney general, to go to Paris and
make a critical and exhaustive examina-
tion of the records in the case. Mr.. Rus

The liquidation Of the old canal COM

the new one will deserve Mr.. Russells
careful scrutiny. While it is thought that
a perfect title to the Panama canal prop

concessions obtained firm Colombia, the

that he is hopeful Of success. but that
everything will depend on the result of the
inquiry to be instituted in Paris. and the

TO GET MORE MONEY
Nebraska Telephone Company An
nounces Increase in Pay
of Its Employees.

Unexpected developments came about
yesterday In the electric linemen's labor
difficulties. The Nebraska Telephone COM
pany posted a notice in the afternoon, say
ing that all linemen would hereafter receive
$2.75 a day for nine hours work. The
men have been getting $3.50 a day for the
same length OF time and made a demand
for no more time or no less time, but
simply the recognition of their union.
What effect this sudden and unlocked for
action on the part of the company will
have on the demands Of the linemen is not
known.
The linemen have been endeavoring TO Sc
cure recognition Of their union from the
company for a long time, but they have
met with defeat and DOM know now what
the company's attitude is on this subject.
One Of the linemen said last night that he
did not think the company meant to imply
any recognition Of the union by it's volun-
tary action in raising the mems pay, nor
could he tell what the union would do with
the old demand. That is a matter for the
executive committee of the union to deal
with. 1t may be decided best to abandon
the demand for recognition or it may be
decided to persist in this demand.
What we as union men care most for"
this representative said, "is recognition
Of our union. Give US that and we will look
out for the rest"
There are fourteen gangs Of linemen
under the management of the Nebraska
Telephone company and 95 per cent Of all
the men are members of the union and
the other 5 per cent have made applications
for membership. There is not a non-union
lineman in Council Bluffs. TIL Nebraska
company does not discriminate against union
men. Only yesterday four were added to
the e~ompany's payroll.
II is significant that the committee Of
linemen presented a new and formal de-
mand for recognition Of the union yester-
day, the same day on which the company
posted its notice Of an increase in wages.

Az the Boyd.

Punctuated by the pop Of the premature,
but patriotic pistol and the cracking OF
numerous matchmaking contraptions whose
s~pasmodic but assertive explosions gave
unmistakable notice Of the approach Of
another birthday for the American eagle,
the speeches OF the actors who presented
The Cruciix' at the Boyd last night lost
maybe some OF their meaning to the audi
ence, but still retained enough to tell a
story of intrigue, jealosy, tyraaay and
the end. 1t Is a trihe diconcerting to an
actor to be interrupted between words by
the banging OF giant crackers or the short,
sharp bark Of a a loaded with blanks,
but they have to put up with II on the
night before the Fourth, and the audience
has It's grievance as we'll. The piece put
on by the Ferris stock company for its
regular Thursday night change OF bill is
a Russian melodrama, with enough OF ac-
tion and "heart interest" in 1t to stock half
a dozen ordinary society dramas. Under the
arrangement 1t goes with a snap, and I'M
folds a plot as lengthy and involved as
that Of a Gaboriou novel. One thing it
does, however, Is to bring to the front the
capabilities of one or two Of the lesser
members Of the company.
Miss JUNE Swift, who did so we'll as
Phyllis Lee in The Charity Ball" has
a part that gives her fine opportunity and
she takes it we'll. Miss Swift has an at
t~ractive presence, a pleasing voice and a
good conception Of the role she assumes.
Mr.. George J. Elmore makes much of the
character of Norovieff, a moujik and a
spy of the car, who is the marplot of the
piece. He was several times applauded
last night. Miss Hayward has a difficult
role in the character of a French actress
who is consumed by jealousy, and offered
the tragedy feature of the piece. The play
will be given at a special matinee this

A car builder, speaking Of the situation
at the shops, says the company's supply of
castings and other furnishings necessary
that something must be done very soon or
operations cannot proceed.
A machinist was asked yesterday why
It was that all the men seemed to be so
thoroughly opposed to piecework, when the
oficials all maintained that 1t was the best
system. He said:
tits simply because we cannot make
enough money at 1t. OF course 1t sound
plausible to say that the men are placed
on their merits and the good ones can
make more, while the poor ones who cannot
earnN as much as they we're getting under
the old system ought not expect anything.
But the truth Is none of us would make as
much for the reason that we would not
have work all the time. Those periods when
there was nothing to do we would lose.
Why, as a matter Of fact. it often happens
that men are delayed or interfered with at
the shops by something over which they
have no control. Now, we are the losers for
this time u we work by the piece and that
lie the real issue. 1t is not a fact that the
piecework system would revolutionizs
things, as the company claims"
One NAN at North Platte.
The boilermakers yesterday received
a letter from North Platte saying that but
one boilermaker was at work there-a one
legged an-an he was getting so cents
an hour.
President Kennedy said yesterday that
the J. /. Case firm of Milwaukee,. now ad-
vertising for boilermakers. is a fair firm
and that any union boilermaker had a right
to go To- work for them.
The machinists and boilermakers both
say they have heard nothing of any riots
or attempted riots at Cheyenne or any
other place along the line. The trainload
of Pinkerton detectives has not yet reached
Omaha and none of the railroads Will own
up to such unprecedented time in rush
ing these "sleuths' into the city. The
yarns inject a spirit Of levity into the
otherwise serious affair.", but none OF the
strikers can be found who will stand for
the authenticity Of the fables.
"In all seriousness" said Vice President
Wilson. there is nothing in any such re-
ports so far as VIC know, and we think II
is barely possible We would have heard
som hint Of 1t at least II there had been
anything to 1t. No men have yet been
brought out from Chicago or any other
place, although the company has made an
effort to I'LL the strikers places"
Machinists and b~oilermakers are not par
t~icularly anxious for the blacksmiths and
car builders to strike, for 1t will not ma
terially strengthen the position of the pres
ent strikers, since their work Is not so
closely allied as 10 make one dependent on
the other. Beside this, for any larger num-
Der to go out would simply increase the
financial burdens of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor II would mean the sub
traction Of just this many paying members,
who would become dependent members.
