| Jectipn of books entrusted to her.
The knany phases Of home education
which have developed of late years
find tReir largest representation IN
the woEnen's study clubs and these
find a public library an unfailing
source ef supply for the material
needed h study, and the-librariaa
must bel liable to reveal to them and
all others who seek information on
special subjects all that library con-
tains regarding it. For this reason,
the librarian must not only be trainel
for this work but she must devote
much time to classifying, cataloging
and indexing all the material in the
collection so that she may quickly
supply the right book to the right per-
son at the right time. The best-collec-
ton of books without such ability on
the part Of the librarian to make it
accessible and of service is little bet
ter than warehouse for paper, so
far as practical service to the COM
munity is concerned This library is
to be congratulated on having select
ed competent librarian.
'"The public library is not an iso-
lated institution. 1t touches every
interest in this community. 1t con-
tains books on some subject in which
you are interested, and which, IL
you would use, would add to your
pleasure or your comfort in most I'M
expected ways. AS the library board
is able to buy more and more books
with thei limited maintenance fund,
the collection of books will gradually
become rounded out until whatever
commercial, or professional, or manu-
featuring, or scientific, or business in
terest you have in hand you will find
a helpful book on that subject; and
in the larger life of the mind, which
one should live outside and beyond
the daily toll, you will find the great
inspirational books, -the real books
of the world, which will inspire,
console and encourage your soul.
The German artist-poet, Platen, says:
The more things thou learnesl to
huOW anu SHJOy, Tie IuOI6 COuplSJS
and full will be for thee the delight
of living This library opens up
this field for knowing and enjoying
the great company of those who have
left their immortal thoughts upon the
printed page. I believe it will prove
to be center of pleasure and inspi-
ration to the people of Oskaloosa, the
far-reaching influence of which we
can not estimate.
"On behalf of the Iowa Library
Commission which the State of Iowa
| created for the purpose of extending
library privileges to all the people of
this state, and which have the hon.

and congratulations,b both to the Board
for the efficient manner in which
they have fulfilled this trust, and to
every citizen on the completion Of
this building and the opportunities

PLAN TO SETTLE ONE STRIKE
p. j. JObut Suggests = Compromise
for the Carpenters Union
to Consider.

B. ]. Jobst, who is not a member OF the
association OF contractors and who has
been working on Omaha buildings without
suspension since the strike Of the hod car
riers. paying the men the new scale, has
proposed a settlement OF the carpenters
strike so far as his place is concerned
which may be submitted to the union as
soon as he returns from Sheridan, Wyo',
where he is at present. Mr.. Jobst said;
81 have two large contracts on hand
which were figured before the carpenters
made their demands for 80. cents an hour.
As a general proposition, the contractor
does not care what price he pays for labor
when he knows what price every other con-
tractor is paying, and that price is consid-
cred when he makes a bid on work, but in
this case I have figured these contracts
when l believed that the men would be
satisfied with the wages paid last year, and
one of the Jobs was started and some work
done at the old price. Now l propose a
plan which will be fair to both sides. Let
the men accept the old scale on all work
which was figured before the scale was
changed and let the contractors agree TO
pay the new scale on all future work. 1t
will be dificult to have men working at
two wage scales and IL will be impossible
for me to get men on old work at 40 cents
an hour when other contractors are willing
to pay so cents an hour on new work, and
for this reason the union should levy an
assessment upon all members receiving
the new scale to raise a fund with which
to pay the men at work at the old scale
the amount received by the men receiving
the higher wage after the amount of the
assessment has been deducted. The old
work will last but a few months and then
all will receive the new scale.
Whenever the union is ready to do this
1 am ready to sign the scale and continue
work, but l cannot afford to pay 25 pei
cent more for wage on work figured close
six month or more ago.

DELIVERS TWO LOADS OF COAL
Company Assists Paxton
Hotel Out of It's Fuel
DimcuIty.

The extraordinary novelty of unloading
two small wagonloads of coal in the rear
of the Paxton hotel late yesterday after
noon attracted $500 people to the scene.
The coal came from c. w. Hull's yards at
Twentieth and lizard streets and wat hauled
by Omaha Merchants Express and Trans
fer wagons, driven by ~nonunion drivers.
one colored. The crowd, evidently strong
strike sympathizers, booted and jeered the
nonnnion men, but no overt act was COM
mitted. There seemed to be but a few
striking teamsters In the crowd, as a mat
ter Of fact. The largest delegation Of strik-
ers came from the walters. the rear end OF
whose headquarters ADULTS on the same al
ley with the Paxton hotel.
Captain Hare. Sergeant Hayes and six
patrolmen were on the scene, but no ar
rests we're made.
From the time the wagons swung into
Sixteenth street at the corner Of Cunning,
they became the cynosure of strikers and
strike sympathizers and were followed
south on Sixteenth to Douglas, east on
Douglas to Fourteenth and on into the alley
back OF the Paxton at Fourteenth and Far
nam by hundreds of curious spectators. BY
the time the wagons had reached their des-
tnation the crowd had got its lung power
to working good and 1t was no difHcult task
to swell the concourse to fully $500. Many
women and girls were in the crowd and in
yariably they were among the most ardent
strike sympathiEers. [ the entrance of the
alley on Fourteenth street were Business
Agent Crews and L. v. Guye, president OF
the BARRIERS union, in their rig, counselins
the strikers against violence.

COAL COMPANIES GET BUSY
VIII Follow Lead of Transfer Me
and Operate Under Cover of
the Injunction.

Following the lead set by the transfer
companies, the coal dealers, one OF them
says, will attempt to deliver fuel with
~nonunion drivers beginning probably this
morning. A member OF the Sunderland
Arm said that no effort will be spared to
move coal as freely as though there was
no strike in progress, and that he did not
in the least fear the effort would fail.
whether the drivers will. be imported or
procured in Omaha he would not say. The
whereabouts OF the carload Of Kansas City
negroes was a mystery today. No one
could ind them. They were not at work
and none Of the strikers professed to know
where the black men had been concealed.
On the subject OF delivering coal Victor
White yesterday said: I'VE are simply out
OF the business for the present. We were
paying what the scale called for and were
unwilling to have any trouble with our
men and they knew IL and we're satisfied
but the union called them and they went
out. We have orders for ninety or 100 tons
" coal and are Of course unable to touch
them. The people are showing great pa
thence and forbearance."
Mr.. White employed only teamsters own
ing their own teams.
From the Nebraska Fuel company thli
statement was made: eve have not started
or tried TO start a team and have nS
dennite plan for doing so. We are simpi,
