BIG STRIKES IN OMAHA.
Eight Hundred Business Men orga
 nized for Combat.

nized for Combat.
 Omaha (Neb.) Special. It is expected that May 1 will witness the beginning in this city of the most stubborn struggle between capital and la bor in the history of any city west of Chicago. Preparations are active for the fight. and no stone will be left unturned by either side to make 1t decisive A few resenting the largest mercantile indus trial institutions in the city, formed an
 organization known as the Business Men s Association.
 Strikes involving 2S0 building tenders, 100 bricklayers. forty stone cutters, fifty plasterers and fifty-five inside wiremen, or sos men in all, have already been de- clared. This number will be probably materially increased on May 1. The con- tractors have refused every demand made upon them by the strikers, and show no disposition to yield All of the unions involved in the present strike be- long to the Building Trades Council, and
 unless the differences between the con
 tractors and the strikers are adjusted all
 the other unions belonging to the council
 will quit work.
 The situation takes on added signif- canoe from the fact that 1t is confidently affirmed by certain labor leaders that the National Manufacturers' Association which at it's recent meeting in New Or leans recommended the organization of an employers federation, is back of the movement on the part of the business men of Omaha to organize for defensive action against the labor unions.

The Sidewalk Problem.

For some years. ever since the process
OF making artificial stone" sidewalks was
perfected and those walks came into use
there has been strong feeling In this city
against the continuance of the service Of
the old brick walks which disigure the
streets In certain sections and pain the
feet OF pedestrians and offend the civic
pride OF all good citizens. The Commits
sioners have had no more troublesome
problem TO solve of late years than the
distribution Of the small funds given to
them by Congress for this work under
what Is called the compulsory permit"
system. BesOught by residents of newly
settled parts of the District for sidewalks
they wisely adopted a regulation some
years ago prohibiting the laying of any
additional brick walks, insuring that the
problem would not grow with the years
But in the absence of sufficient fund for
substituting the new cement walks for the
old rough bricks. their progress toward the
elimination of the latter has been neces-
sarily slow.
In the news columns Of this issue Of The
Star appears an article, in conjunction
with a communication from a citizen, bear
ing upon this question of sidewalks, which
has acquired a new significance in view
or the adoption of the regulation against
splitting. 1t is clear from this statement
OF the case that there is a conflict of view
The Commissioners hold that they should
give precedence to those citizens who want
me new walks and are willing to pay their
share Of the cost, especially az these re-
quests annually exhaust the meacer funds
while the writer OF the letter insists that
the older parts Of the city should be first
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-04-03

provided with cement walks But the Com
missioners do not confess Indifference to
the public needs in the central parts Of the
city, since they are willing and ready,
whenever a brick walk has become too
bad for further tolerance in that section,
to require the laying of a new walk partly
at the expense of the abutting property
owners.
One serious difficulty which the Commits
sioners have encountered in their efforts
to secure fair adjustment of this matter
has been the unwillingness of property
owners in some streets to contribute to the
cost of new walks In the business dis
trict the owners Of property aver that the
walks, being used chiefly by the public at
large. should be paid for wholly by the
District. Others cling tenaciously to the
view that the brick walks are good enough.
If the funds were large enough to accom-
modate both the demands of those willing
and even eager to pay part of the cost OF
new walks and the requirements of the gen.
eral public in the older portions of the city
much faster progress could be accomplish
ed in Graduating the old brick nuisances.
But as long as Congress refuses to grant a
sufficient sum to meet both ends of the
case the brick walks abutting the prop
erty of those who think they are good
enough, or who demur at paying for part
of the cost. or who do not care sufficiently
for the general welfare of the city to con-
tribute to its betterment, will have to re-
main until they grow so bad that they are
public nuisances and menaces to the safety
of pedestrians.
Two things are needed in this connection,
a broader view Of their duties by the resi-
dents of the now brick-paved streets of the
city and a larger fund. Without one or
both Of these requisites there is no present
prospect of a more rapid rate of substitu-
ton of the cement walks for the brick

Dangerous Sport.
From the Baltimore American.

The Zborowski automobile tragedy al
Nice cannot fail to emphasize in the pub
lie mind the danger from these novel We
hc1es. 1t is true that the accident hap
pened In race. but similar disasters have
occurred when the parties were not racing
in fact. in proportion to the number in
use the accidents which have happened to
automobiles far outnumber those from any
other source. The novelty Of these ma
chimes and the fact that their owners are
not as familiar with handling them as with
other methods of progression will account
in part for the unusual number of disas-
ters, but there Is another reason, more i'm
portant still, which promises to continue
these misfortunes until steps are taken for
its removal

Speed Violators and collateral"

Unless there Is a closer cooperation be-
tween the desk sergeants at the police sta
ton houses and the Police Court the policy
which Judge Kimball announced the other
day as his future guide in dealing with Of
Tending Automobiles will be of very little
effect Yesterdays Star noted the fact that
Of four arrests the night before only one
viOlator of the law showed up In court.
Three others forfeited their collateral, one
to the amount of $40 and the others IS each.
The one who stood trial was fined $40.
Which. by the way, Is not the maximum al
lowed by the regulation, such as Judge
kimbalIs remarks in court the other day
might lead the community to expect in the
case of all convictions.
AS The Star suggested the other day, it
will avail little in this fight for safer streets
II the station house officials continue to &C
cept small collateral. The practice at pres
ent is to take, save in a few instance, S at
the station. which sum is doubled by the
court when conviction is had. Therefore
there is every incentive for the person ar
rested and released on collateral to forfeit
1t rather than run the risk of losing twice
as much the next day, to say nothing Of the
annoyance of court appearance the loss
Of time. perhaps the cost OF legal defense
and the publicity Of a trial. A collateral
security accepted by the station keeper is
In the nature OF a bond for subsequent ap-
pearance. and too great care cannot be ex-
ercised by the authorities to prevent abuse
OF the system Of accepting these pledges to
defeat the ends Of justice.
AS the case now stands 1t Is possible for
man to engage In a fist fight and pummel
his antagonist to his hearts content, short
OF permanent injury. and then upon being
arrested. to forfeit his small collateral and
feel quite satisfied with his expenditure.
Scores Of such cases occur during the year.
and while the courts are not asked to pass
upon these brawls and some time is saved
to them. the practice has led to more street
fighting than should be tolerated. The desk
sergeants have in effect. under the colIat-
eral system as 1t is at present practiced vir-
tually assumed magisterial powers which
Is far from their true function as tenn
porary custodians of the persons of Of

Swapping Ideas.
From the Chicago Tribune.

Instead of spending all their time grab
bling territory from each other, the nations
of the present day devote themselves
largely to grabbing ideas. The Japanese,
Of course are the archgrabbers. Wherever
there is anything Of material value or of
sentimental interest there also Is a Japan
csc commission, with photographers and
notebooks. But representatives of other
nationalities are also numerous. Americans
go to Germany to study universities Ger
mans come to America to study steel pro-
cesses. Every nation has it's eye glued to
every other nations keyhole. The delight
full thing Is that the other nation doesn't
often object.

The italian.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Italy is still sending over sea swarms of
her people who risk the hazards of new
fortunes in the United States, and the
steamships from the Mediterranean bring
hosts of steerage passengers to Ellis Island.
The sturdy sons of Italy toll industriously
in their new homes. and almost every one
of them saves money in the new world.
But too many of them go back to their old
homes to live on their savings. Too many
persist in remaining Italian in heart and
SOUL in habits and sympathies and ways of
living. and refuse to cast their lot in this
hemisphere to the end of their days and to
become thorough Americans.
The Italian element both in North Ameri-
ca and South America Is numerous and i'm
portant. Too large part of 1t, however. Is

The President at Chicago.

"I believe in the Monroe doctrine with all
my heart and SOUL" declares Mr.. Roose-
welt. And what President OF the United
States, since the doctrine waS first pro-
claimed has had better right to believe
in It? What other President has seen 1t
formally recognized by two OF the strong
est powers in the world? Note the full
Significance OF the correspondence that
passed between this government and the
governments OF Germany and Great Brit
ain when the latter were preparing to put
pressure upon Venezuela. The kaiser and
King Ed ward were both informed OF the
limits under the Monroe doctrine that must
mark their action, and both gave to this
government assurances that were entirely
satisfactory in the premises. 1t was the
Monroe doctrine therefore. that greatly
simplifed the situation. and that saved the
Venezuelans from all anxiety on the sub
Ject of their territory. 1t was signal
triumph also of our right to hold our
shield. as against European encroachment,
over the land Of this hemisphere.
The tsthmian canal, the President
forctbly points out, will add to the value Of
the Monroe doctrine and multiply our re-
sponsibilities under 1t. work In this
hemisphere Of such transcendent import
ance must OF necessity be under American
control While of world wide Interest and
intended for the worlds maritime uses, 1t
Il an American enterprise which will right
fully increase our prestige as the first Of
the nations on this side Of the water. and
contribute no little to our ambition and
program to become the first OF all nations
Proceeding then, the President shows the
necessity of preparedness ON the part Of
the United States to enforce at any time
that they may be disputed dts claims to
the authority 1t announces. And again. 1t
may be said that no President has ever had
a better right TO be heard. 1t was Mr..
Roosevelt's good fortune to be holding q
post of responsibility when the difficulty
with Spain was rpening He saw our de-
ficiencies, and exerted his influence to the
utmost to remedy them. He rendered the
country great service in the Office of
assistant secretary Of the navy, as he did
subsequently In the field as q soldier. His
example as a volunteer was admirable. It
inspired young men in all sections. But
the interest he took in the means for put
ting the navy into shape and his hearty
cooperation with Dewey and others to that
end, were very valuable to the country
Tho navy will be strengthened, as the
President recommends. and the doctrine in
which he SO earnestly believes will, we may
be sure. always be enforced.
