MORE SHOPMEN ON ASTRIKE
Union Pacific Locomotive Wood Workers and
Pipemen Go Out in a Bsdy,
DUE TO BURrS PIECE WORK SYSTEM
order Putting New Method In Force
is Posted I'm shops and walkOut
of Men Affected Fol-
lows at Once.

The locomotive wood workers and pipe
men at the Union Pacific shops went on
strike yesterday. The efforts Of President
men still employed at the shops brought
about this latest accession to the ranks
Of the strikers.
When the wood workers appeared for
work yesterday they found an order
from the foreman to the effect that after
this date they would be paid by the piece.
Fifteen Of the men Immediately rejected
the new terms and they we're discharged.
At noon thirty-hve more OF the wood
workers walked out on strike, leaving only
two or three men in The department.
Heretofore the men have been working by
the hour and they assert that they would
be unable to do nearly SO well by the
piece. w would rather starve not
working than starve working" said one
OF the strikers.
Up to this time the wood workers had
not been concerned in the strike of the
machinists, boiler makers and blacksmiths,
as no attempt had been made to introduce
the piecework system with them, and they
were satisfied with the wages they were
earning by the hour.
Recently the wood workers, In anticipa-
ton OF trouble with the company. formed
an organization, which will be affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor. All Of
the wood workers at the Union Pacific
shops, with the exception of the two or
three who did not walk out yesterday, are in
the new union.

rs this where they hire the ny cop
pers'?"
Aroused by the question, w. 1. Kier-
stead looked up from his work and saw
standing at the rail in his office a stranger
whose entire presence bespoke the rural
districts. He was burly, muscular and
healthy looking as to physique. and his
earnestness and simplicity Of expression and
his clothes and bearing indicated very
plainly that he was not "city broke"
Knowing that the youth must have asked
the question seriously but marveling at
the same time at the language in which 1t
was couched, Mr.. Kierstead replied: This
is the ONCE Of the Board Of Fire and Police
Commissioners, and here is where you make
application for any position on the police
force"
But l don't want to be a policeman"
explained Jasper. II don't want to walk a
beat, but to be a secret detective, a fly
copper, don't you see."
Then Mr., Kierstead recognized the fact
that he was up against" one OF the Nick
Carter, Old Sleuth OF Sherlock Holmes boys
with a large supply Of inspiration from the
10-cent libraries, and proceeded to let him
down as easily as possible. A few more
questions developed the fact that the aunt
less and ambitious Rube, fired with am
bition to ferret out crime, had Just come
to Omaha from somewhere out in the state,
so Mr.. Kierstead told him he could not be
appointed to the police force in any ca
pacity without having been a resident OF
Omaha at least a year. Then after warn
ing him not to hold any parley with two
young men about a lock, and under no
circumstances to lend any money to any
body to pay freight bills, with the custom
airy admonitions as to keeping out of the
way Of street cars and live wires, Mr..
Kierstead sent his visitor sorrowing on his
way.

RING WORM AND DANDRUFF.

Ring worm and dandruff are somewhat

Mrs. Johanna soderholm of Fergus Falls,
Mimi. fell and dislocated her shoulder. She
had a surgeon get it back in place as soon
as possible, but 1t was quite sore and panied
her very much. Her son mentioned that he
had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm adver-
tised for sprains and soreness, and she
asked him to buy her a bottle OF It, which
he did. 1t quickly relieved her and enabled
her to sleep, which she had not done for
several days. Tho son was so much pleased
with the relief 1t gave his mother that he

RAILROADS NAY ENJOIN CITY
They Are Expected to Garry Assessment
Controversy to stats Courts.
LIKELY TO DELAY THE TAX LEVY SOME
Entire Issue Turning on Constitutions
aIity of Exemption Clause in Char
ter May he settled by In
junction Proceedings.

While there have been no new develop
ments Of a manifest character in the rail-
road assessment eases since the adjourn
ment Of the Board OF Equalization II Is
generally understood that the controversy
as TO the city's right to assess railroad
property Independently will be taken to tho
courts for as speedy adjudication as pos
sible.
An attorney for one OF the railroads prin-
cipally affected has said that plans have
been perfected to institute proceedings in
court at ar early day to contest the assess
ment. The present plan is to apply for an
injunction to restrain the mayor and city
council from imposing a levy upon the rail-
road property as It is assessed, and the case
will be brought in the state rather than the
federal courts.
in Taking Initiative.
BY taking the initiative the railroads Sc
cure the choice Of the tribunal before which
the application shall be made and will be
able to go before that Judge in the district
court which they think most favorable to
their contention. It is said that they can
bring into injunction proceedings the entire
issue turning on the cOnstitutionality Of the
exemption clause of the charter, which has
been ignored on the ground that It is in
conflict with the constitutional provision
with reference to uniformity OF taxation
within the taxing district.
Whichever way the lower court may de-
eide the case will be appealed to the
supreme court and it will doubtless be
advanced in the same manner as the
franchise tax cases last year.
May Hold Up Levy Ordinance.
The most serious feature Of the in
junction method Of testing the assessment
would be that it would hold up the levy
ordinance again until a final decision is
reached and thus prevent the city from
drawing upon its tax resources for 1908.
Last year the levy was held up four
months and all of the city officers and
employees kept out of their salaries for
that length of time. They we're not even
able to get warrants to discount, but had
20 make assignments of their salaries to
get money advanced to them. Whether
they will have to go through this priva-
ton again will depend upon the prompt
ness with which the courts act II the levy
is enjoined.

Pipemen struck Friday.

The trouble with the pipemen began Fri
day, when the first orders to put them
on piecework was posted at the shops. All
Of the pipemen laid down their tools, re-
fusing to proceed under the new order. AT
the request Of the foreman they waited
at the shops until communication was had
with headquarters and the order for piece
work was ~rescinded. Then the men went
back to their tasks after a suspension of
operations for half an hour.
Pipemen were of the opinion that their
troubles had ceased. but when one of
the leaders, John Ennis, finished his weeks
work Saturday night. he was notified tina
his services would be no longer required.
1t was the discharge OF Mr.. Ennis that
caused the pipemen to strike yesterday
morning. They appeared at the shops. with
a request for the reinstatement of Mr.
Ennis and when his was denied they
walked out.

HIS PRISON SENTENCE
Arthur Sylvester Smiles When Judge Gives
Him Three Years.
WANTS HIS PICTURE IN POLICE PAPERS
syIvester's Pal II Held for Determine
tion of Question whether He
should GO TO ~Penitentiary
or Reform school.

The October term OF the district court
adjourned at 5 o'clock yesterday and with It
Judge Irving +. Baxter retired from the
criminal bench TO be succeeded February 2
by Judge Lee Estelle, who is now in Pine
BLUFFS, Ark, and expects to return jan
uary 81.
In regular term procedure the last work
of Judge Baxter in No. l was the a~rraign-
ment Of Arthur Sylvester and Gilbert John
son and the sentencing of Sylvester to three
years in the state penitentiary at hard
labor. Johnson's case is more complicated,
Judge Baxter thinks, and though the boy
pleaded guilty to the charge preferred by
the state the court remanded him to Jail
to await investigation.
On January 10, it is alleged, the boys COM
mitted burglary at the shop Of H. r. Bald
win, removing therefrom three Columbian
half dollars. When arraigned this morning
both admitted guilt and waived all steps
preliminary to sentence. but johnson gave
his age as II, and this blocked Judge Bax-
ter's further action, as the latter is in doubt
whether he should go to the reform school
or the state penitentiary, the analogous
statute providing that a boy shall be IS be-
fore being sent to the p%enitentiary, but al
lowing him to remain in the reform school
until he is more than IS.
Suggests Law Revision.
The case is one well exemplifying the in
tent and purpose Of the law revision that
Judge Baxter, through the judiciary COM
mittee Of the State Bar association, asks
the Legislature to take up, and so he left
the matter for Judge Estelle to decide and
for the attorneys to investigate.
Sylvester, the other boy, was arrested on
a charge Of burglary a month ago and
released pending good behavior. He smiled
when he was brought into court at that
time, and smiled when he was permitted
to leave. A week later he was in police
court and smiled all through the hearing
which terminated in his release. Yester-
day when again brought to face the district
judge the same ample smile played about
his lips.
He'll stop smiling when he gets his
sentence" remarked a bystandeT.
But he didn't. The judge said three
and everybody looked impressed-except the
prisoner. He kept right on grinning and
said Thank, you, sah," just as pleasantly
as though he had been given SO instead of
three years.
Going back to the Jail the deputy sheriff
exclaimed: you seem to think this is
some kind Of joke. What pleases your
"Well, sab. l been wantin' to get my
pictuah in de police papers fob a long
time an I reckon I cehtainly land dis time
