Continue Present Rate of Thirty
Seven Cents and n Half An
other Year.

The Painters union, at it's meeting Mon
day night, decided to accept the offer of the
master painters as to wage scale. This
offer was to continue the present scale OF
37h cents per hour for the term of one
year. The union at FIRST requested a con-
tract for two years, wages to be advanced
to 40 cents an hour after April 1, 1903. In
response the master painters offered to
agree to such wages, provided the Journey
men would consent to work for no one but
contracting painters. The union refused
to bind its members to work for any GER
tain men and the present agreement was
the result Of compromise between the par

Operates Dining Cars Now.

The Union Pacific Railway company yes
terday took over from the Pullman company
the conduct OF its dining cars. Hereafter
1t will operate all the diners on the system,
some twenty cars. 1t has owned them for
some time, having made the purchases
gradually since the plan to operate them
privately was first taken up.
There will be no change in the force of
men that has till this time been employed
in handling these cars. however. At Coun-
Gil Bluffs is the headquarters, where Super
intendent Of Dining Cars Ackley keeps an
Office force of half a dozen men busy with
the detail end Of the work. Then the num-
|'ber OF employees who go with the cars, in
Guiding cashiers, cooks and walters, will
average ten men to a car. and that puts
about 200 on the pay roll in all.
The reorganization OF such a system
would be an extensive matter and the
Union Pacific has not attempted It. In
stead II has simply taken over all the Pull
man force. retaining Superintendent Ackley
in that position. The men are now all
working for the Union Pacific, however.

Railroad Notes and

"a striking Illustration Of what Omaha
is doing for itself as a progressive business
center came to my attention yesterday"
said Assistant General Passenger Agent
j. f. Buckingham OF the Burlington rail
way. THE example arose in connection
with the visit to Omaha of ]. c. Mcnamara
Of st. Louis, chief clerk to General Passen-
ger Agent wakeley Of the Burlington lines
in Missouri.
"Mr. wakeley is about to issue a book OF
instructions to agents. conductors and bag
gagemen, and he came to Omaha from 81.
Louis to get this book printed and bound.
1t seems to me that Is a fiattering thing for
Omaha. and when you take that fact in
connection with others which / can men
ton the proposition becomes more than a
mere matter OF patriotic interest, for it as
sumes important business proportions.
81 remember, ten years ago, when the
printing from Burlington headquarters here
was all taken to Chicago or st. Louis. The
passenger department never thought OF
having anything printed here, even a little
advance slip, nuch less a folder or big
pamphlet.
Now the Burlington has most OF its work
done in this city. We have been making
the change gradually for several years.
Even our folders with time cards are
printed here now. We issue from 1000 900
to 1880. 900 Of these every year, and they
contain twenty-four pages Of practically
nothing but figures. Every change in time
means a change through columns and col
umns Of figures, and thus the correction
bills alone make a big item, in addition to
the original printing.
Besides these folders we carry about
twenty-five publications Of one kind and
another, and when you figure it all in It
amounts to a big item Of printing each
year out OF this office. That this goes to
Omaha printers instead of to Chicago or
st. Louis houses is certainly a pleasant
thought.
"Other railroads, too, are doing this,
though not to the extent that we are. l
believe that in time all railroads with head
quarters here will get all their printing
done in Omaha"

Announcements of the Theater.,

The Explorers which will be seen at
the Boyd tonight and a special matinee
Thursday. is a sister piece Of The Burg
omaster" and Is under the same manage
ment, which. as a consequence, should be
heralded with delight by all admirers OF
artistic wit, beauty and song, inasmuch
as It is far above the average musical
comedy, and contains an original score OF
twenty-six numbers, and comprises eighty
players OF unusual eminence. The produce
tion Is said to be q positive Aladdin achieve
ment, and the most beautiful and costly
ever manufactured in the west. 1t is diff
hcult to describe the principal features OF
this jolly oddly. as they are innumerable
and must be seen to be appreciated. The
grille chorus is one OF the bright reve>
lations Of the season, and one OF the dis
tinct, important factors OF the piece, as
they are very much in evidence. all young
and pretty. and constitute many OF the
brightest moments OF the performance.
Thursday night the ever welcome THE
B-urgomAster.' will be presented.
Much in praise can be said OF the bill on
view at the orpheum this week, which
merits the appreciation that Is tendered IL
by a series OF big houses. Jack Norworth
is to be commended for having something
new in song and monologue and eschewing
ehestnuts. He is doing his turn In white
face, which lie much heater and more pleas
ing than his old makeup In cork. Another
monologue that scores big Ia presented by
Jessie Couthoui. Her stories and recita-
tions have caught the public's fancy and she
is compelled to respond TO encores at every
performance. The three Blossoms do q
funny and clever comedy acrobatic stunt

has been seen here. The FIVE Noses. in
