CAR MEN stop WORK
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD HAS
ADDITIONAL LABOR
TROUBLE
CAUSE, DISAGREEMENT. OVER
THE PREMIUM SCALE
Strike Is Protest Against the Piece
Work Plan, and Leaders Say All the
Car Men on the Entire System Will
be Asked to Suspend Work.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 1.-two hun
bred car men, including carpenters,
coach builders and painters, employed
in the Union Pacific shops in this city,
Unexpectedly went on strike today. The
strike is protest against the piece
work system and the leaders say that
all the car men on the system will be
asked to quit work.
Some time ago the car men con-
cluded an agreement with the Union
Pacific road, which included what was
known as the premium SCALE" and
which put the men on a piece basis.
The understanding was that no man
was to receive less than his time would
amount to at the regular hour wage
scale, and would have premium for
extra work accomplished over a GER
tain amount. The agreement created
dissatisfaction and internal friction in
the Garments union.
For the company, the following
statement was given out:
1--WE entered into the contract with
the car men in good faith, on July 7th,
knew, everything was satisfactory. No
grievance committee has visited us
and if the car men will not stand by
their agreement there is nothing left
for us to do. We do not expect men at
the other points to quit work without
notice and think they will stand by all
their contracts until a new one is made
The effect of the strike. is small, as
there is little work to BE done at this
season" s

that striking shopmen had been sworn in

COUNCIL BLUFFS MAY LOSE.
Mining Company Thinks Its Assess
ment Is Too High.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Aug. 49,
At a meeting today of the stockholders
of the Portland Gold Mining company
the directors were empowered to file
articles of incorporation in some other
state unless the local authorities of
Council Bluffs and Pottawattomie
county abandoned their intention to
assess and tax the Portland company
on it's capital stock.
The action of the stockholders does
not necessarily mean that the COM
pany will remove from this city, but
under the authority granted the direc-
tors may do SO at any time. In case
of removal both Colorado and Wyom-
ing are spoken of.
During the trial of the Doyle-Burns
case a year ago, when a million dollars
of stock in the company was involved,
testimony was given to show that the
stock was worth SIS a share. The city
assessor assessed the. company, under
a recently passed law, on the market
valuation of it's capital stock, namely,
$9,000,000. He notified the company
that it might make a statement of it's
offsets of property in other states. This
statement was made out, but later
withdrawn, and the assessment allow
ed to remain as originally made. The
validity of the law probably will be
tested

ARIZONA SNAKE LORE
THE TERRITORY NATURAL BREEDING GROUND FOR RAFT,
sNAKEs-sERPENTs POWER TO FAscINArE

Authorities Of the Smithsonian In
stltutlon say that more varieties of
poisonous snakes are found in Arizona
than in any other part of the United
States. The best authority on Arizona
snakes is believed to be Graham Peck,
who has been studying them for years,
says the Prescott, AriZ., correspondent
of the New York Sun.
No other region of the United States
is so much of a natural breeding place
for the rattlesnake as is southern Ari-
zona," he said the other day. "The rocks
of the mountains and foothills are of
a heavy yellow and gray color and the
soil is so like the hueS of RATHER
that a snake can move slowly along
and hardly be perceived by a person
so feet away. The hot, dry air and the
warm, sandy earth and the immense
quantity of small birds and ground
squirrels in the mountain canyons and
brush all combine to make life for rat
tlesnakes in this region one of rare ease
and comfort.
There are literally tens of thousands
of rattlers in the sage brush and the
chaparral along the edge of southern
Arizona wastes. They grow to enor-
nous size and it is common to read

I1OS-HOSO SNAKES are quite plentiful
in the mountainous parts of Arizona.
After all the talk about serpents hiss
ing, this is the only specimen of the
ophidian family which have ever
heard utter a sound.
MANY writer's on reptiles in Amer
lea say that thunder snakes are COM
mon in Texas, New Mexico and Ari-
IONA. They are really Uncommon in the
territories. They are a prairie reptile
and are often encountered by prairie
travellers, especially before and after
thunderstorrns.
FLASHES of lightning and thunder,
which are terrifying to bipeds and
quadrupeds, seem to have a charm for
these members of the ophidian family
Whenever a thunderstorm comes UP
these snakes come crawling out of holes
and from behind rocks and rotten
stumps and enjoy the fun while it lasts.

300 miners had gathered. After the
dead striker had been carried home
about half the members started on a
march over the mountain to Nesque-

deputies. Before they reached there
the five officers were spirited away and
taken to Mauch Chunk under a heavy
guard.
Tonight Baird Snyder, assistant SUI
per1ntendent of the Lehigh and Navi-

the entire Panther creek valley, from
Nesquehoning to Mauch Chunk, was
In riotous state, and that serious
trouble was feared before morning.
Gen. Goblin said that he could not send
troops until an appeal had been made
by Sheriff Gombert. Up to late hour
the sheriff had taken no action in the
matter.

SUPT. WAITE, DETECTIVE DOYLE
INSPECTOR SCALLEN ARE ALL
SWORN IN
FOREMAN CLARK, OF GRAND
JURY, VISITS MAYOR
The Names of Discharged Police Of
ficers and New Appointees Will Be
Made Public Today-Chief of Police
Will Censor the News in the Fu-
ture.

T.. f. Waite was sworn in yester.
day as superintendent of police of the
city of Minneapolis. James G. Doyle,
former superintendent of police under
Mayor Gray, was appointed captain
and chief of detectives. J. G. Scallen,
former pawnbroker inspector, was ap-
pointed pawn broker inspector to sue
coed Inspector Price, resigned. Bourke
O'Brien handed in his resignation to
the new superintendent, he had II NJ
acting on the municipal court detail.
Capt Henry Getchell will not return
to the Fifth precinct, but has been
made assistant superintendent of po-
lice, and will remain at headquarters.
Capt. Doyle said that his first official
act would be to notify all crooks that
have been hanging around the city for
some time that they would have to
give the city a wide berth or be placed
behind the bars He says there has
been quite an exodus of crooks from
the city for the past two or three
weeks, but there are still a number
harging around.
Would Say Nothing.
When Supt Waite was seen he said
that he would be willing to give the
newspapers all the news that was OBJ
tainable, but he felt that many times
the ends of justice had been thwarted
by too much publicity through the
papers, so in the future, he proposed
to be the censor of news which he
dee med advisable to be given to the
public through the medium of the
press. He emphasized that on all cases
requiring detective work the papers
would be kept in the dark, until it will
be impossible for the game to be flush
ed by publicity.
y Inspector Scallen will be a busy man
for some time Strengthening out some
of the work of the former inspector
of pawn shops. 1t is claimed that some
of his records have not been touched
since Dec. 81. For instance on watches
that have disappeared and not re-
covered or located, there has not been
an entry made since the first of the
year, when by rights these items
should be registered as soon as receiv-
ed. The only record of them at the
present time is on the kick sheets at
police headquarters.
