TaE ERATgRMAL LoyALTY OF MoaklNeMsM

Clieial reports from the headquarters of The United
Mneworkers Of America state that the contributions
by miners for the support Of the strikers in the
thracite region Of Pennsylvania amounted than
100000 Other labor organizations gave largely for the
same purpose Contributions were made by wage earner
in all parts Of the country.
Without this help the miners Ct the hard coal fields
must have been beaten long before The mine owners
consented to submit their differences TO arbitration Lack

RULES OF CLEARING HOUSE
Associated Banks Are Revising the
Code Under which They Do
Business.

The members OF the Omaha Clearing
House association are holding weekly ses-
sions for the purpose of revising the rules
of the association. The revision will cover
every rule, but what changes will be made
has not been determined. One of the rules
about which country banks made so much
complaint has been abrogated, pending the
adoption OF the new rules and now there
is no reservation made in the accounts Of
banks and bankers. Under the rule adopted
by the association no interest was to be
paid on daily balances until the amount on
hand to the credit Of the bank exceeded
81, 900, and no interest was to be paid on
the first $1,000. At the present time interest
is paid on the full amount.
There is considerable discussion as to
the revocation Of the rule requiring the
payment of collection fees on personal
checks issued against local banks. While
all the members of the association admit
that the rules OF safe business would re-
quire the payment Of the fee, some OF the
members say that as It is not charged at
Kansas City, st. Joseph or other towns
coming in competition with Omaha banks 1t
would be we'll for Omaha to abolish the
rule. This has not been acted upon.

stock Yards CompIaInts Numerous.

There was no meeting Of the Board Of
Equalization yesterday forenoon and few
appeared to file complaints. Harry Taven-
der, however, of the Second ward, South
Omaha, called to pile a little bit higher the
pile Of complaints against the assessment
Of the Union Stock Yards company. He
has been assessed $725 on two small lots in
block 70 and is taking the common course
Of attacking the stock yards assessment.
1t is charged by a number Of South Omahans
that they are assessed at about 1000 per
acre for ground no better situated than
that on which the stock yards ,company is
assessed only s75 and $50.
G. S. Benawa complained that he is as
sessed $3.50 on the south half of lot IS,
block c, Horbach's subdivision, on which
he has only a fve-room cottage, while the
owner of the other haif of the lot is as
sessed the same, notwithstanding the fact
that instead of a cottage he has a sixteen
room house.

ANOTHER IMPROVEMENT.

Travel

On and after June 18th. the Erie Rail-
road will still further improve their Bos-
ton and New York service by offering to
the public a handsome limited train to
leave Chicago from Dearborn Station every
day at 1890 a. M, arriving in New York
next afternoon at $3.50 and Boston at 8
o'clock.
There is no doubt that this service will
be highly patronized, as this new train
will land the traveller in New York City
in ample time 10 permit him to proceed
leisurely to his hotel or home, rest, dress,
dine and spend the evening in whatever
manner may appeal to him most.
This everyday morning train will con-
sist of standard Pullman d~rawing-room and
sleeping cars. All meals enroute served
by the famous Erie dining cars. No extra
fare charged on this train.

LITTLE FIGHT ON ARCHITECT
w. +. of Board of Education
Opposes John Lntenser
OmcinIly.

Members Of the school board are wonder
ing what will be the result OF the attempt
OF W. F. Johnson to Gust John Latenser
from the position of architect Of the board.
For some time relations between the mem
Der and the architect have not been ex-
tremely cordial, and while Mr.. Johnson has
been a member Of the committee on build
ings and grounds he has had it In his power
to make things unpleasant for the architect.
While no official action has been taken,
IL is an open secret that the board contem-
plates the erection Of a new eight-room
school house on the present site Of the
Monmouth Park school. AT the last meet
ing a resolution was introduced by Theo-
dore Johnson authorizing the president Of
the board to appoint a special committee to
have charge of the construction. The reso-
luton was placed upon its passage. when
w. F. johnson for the first time realized
what was going on and Immediately intro
duced a substitute, in which he provided
that the building committee should be au-
thorized to advertise for competitive bids
from Omaha architects for an eight-room
building on the site OF the Monmouth Park
school, the architect receiving the award
to be paid 3 per cent Of the total cost for
the plans, the supervision of the work to
be done by the superintendent Of buildings
at no additional cost to the board. BY terms
of this resolution the fee Of the architect
was reduced 2 per cent and his services as
superintendent of construction dispensed
with. Robert Smith seconded the resolu-
ton Of ". F. Johnson and there was a
pause in the proceedings. Finally upon
motion OF Mr.. Wood both resolutions were
referred to the building and property COM
mittee for consideration. Mr.. johnson is a
member of that committee and the other
members OF the board are awaiting with in
terest the report OF the committee which
will be made at the next meeting.
