NO STATE TROOPS FOR OMAHA
Governor Mickey DECLINES to Accede
to Request from Transfer
Companies.
(From a Stan Correspondents

LINCOLN, May 6.-(Special. )-Early this
morning Governor Mickey received a com
munication from a number OF transfer com
panies in Omaha. asking for the state
troops to protect their property. They de-
sired troops to help them start. Governor
Mickey at once called up by telephone one
Of the companies and informed the official
in charge that he would call out troops
only upon the. request OF the sheriff OF
Douglas county. The transfer company
representative informed the governor that
the companies had sent the communication
only to show his excellenoy how serious is
the situation in Omaha.
Governor Mickey said it is not his inten-
ton to order out the state troops unless
the situation gets beyond the control OF the
police and sheriff. Many reports were in
circulation here today that the militia had
been called out, but this was denied by Ad-
iutant General Culver. who said he had re-
ceived no word from the sheFin that the
troops were needed. During the afternoon
the governor was Informed that everything
In Omaha was quiet and several teams were
on the street and were moving unmolested.
A member Of the legal profession said the
law required that first the police had to ap-
peal to the county authorities and that II
both together could not preserve peace. the
sherih then could call upon the governor
for troops. The governor Will not call out
the militia unless II is absolutely neces-
sary and 1t cannot be avoided.

WILL TRY INJUNCTION FIRST
Business MEMS Association Wants to
See Eject Of Courts order
on Transfers.

The executive committee OF the Business
Mems association held a we'll attended
meeting in the Commercial club reception
room last night The score or more of
men who attended were compelled to walk
down the stairs, as the elevator was not
running when they descended about 1880.
The majority of the member declined to
discuss the matters under elaboration or
decisions reached.
One Of the best known OF the men pres
emit said: w have no desire to make
our meetings any more secret than is alb
solutely necessary to carry on successfully
what we believe to be a Just contest. To-
night there was little or nothing done be-
yond a general discussion of the situation
and the conditions. The events Of the day
were gone over, but tomorrow new condi-
lions will be presented under the federal
Injunction. This IN itself may be SUFFICIENT
to permit the street trafic to be carried
on in peace, and II so there will be no need
Of plans to enforce its provisions. We are
simply going to wait and see what effect
1t has on the strikers. @
Personally, l believe the police forceqs
inadequate to protect the interests of the
city as affairs existed today with no inJunc-
tion. II is true that along the route from
the freight houses and in the prescribed
district there was no force or violence, but
every time ateam went outside the bounds
several policemen went with 1t. Chief
Donahue is doing all he can, but his men
are too few and the city too big for them
to cover 1t and besides from day to day
the trafic by nonunion teams will Increase.
"As a matter OF fact, / know, Of three
cases today where overt acts Of violence
were performed. A piece Of iron was hurled
by some one from an upper window Of q
building in the iobbipg district that mar
rowly missed a %nonunion driver named
Coe. In the alley between Howard and
Jackson streets and near Fifteenth a brick
was thrown at a %nonunion teamster, but
missed its mark.
Another assault was the lashing across
the face of a nonunion driver by an officer
Of the Transfers union. This occurred or
Eleventh street between Dodge and Doug
las, and has aroused the ire of every one
who has heard OF It. All these disturbances
occurred during the afternoon"
Another meeting Of the Business Mems
association is scheduled for tonight.

PrOprietOrs Hold Meeting and FiDaIIx
Decide that They VIII
Wait.


The hotel and restaurant keepers held
a meeting at the Willard hotel last night
and made a thorough canvass of the strike
situation as 1t affected them. No definite
results came Of the meeting. After 1t wa
over. Tolf Hanson, proprietor of the Calu-
met restaurant; w. II. Balduff and /. A.
Medlar were seen and this statement made:
THE restaurant men scarcely know Just
what to do. We var to get our business
going and we met tonight to see II some
means could not be devised for that pur-
pose. But we nave failed to decide on
any so far. The fact is. we cannot get
any help, any provisions or supplies OF any
kind. Our supplies are shut on because of
the Transfers strike, and it would be n
use for us to open up and try to do bust
ness under these conditions. Then we fee,
a need Of protection, which we are not
certain would be adequately at Our dis
posal. We have no plans for comforting
with the strikers so far"

the following extracts from the report of
the Anthracite Coal Strike commission:
Labor organizations or unions must give
the same recognition to the rights of the
employer and of others which IL demands
for itself and for It's members. The union
must not undertake to assume or to inter-
fere with the management OF the business

men are as sacred TO them as the rights
and privileges of the unionists.

pose can only be accomplished by the Vio-
lation of law and order OF society has no
The right to remain at work, where 9TH
ers have ceased to work, or to engage anew
IN work which others nave abandoned, is
part Of the personal liberty of a citizen
that can never be surrendered, and every
infringement thereof merits and should re-
ceive the stern announcement OF the law.
Our language Is the language OF a free
people and fails to furnish any form Of
speech by which the right of the citizen to
work. when he pleases and for whom he
pleases, and on what terms he pleases, can
be successfully denied. The common sense

When Il is a concerted purpose of q num-
Der Of persons not only to abstain them

suading and intimidating others so to re-

against the strikers on the part Of the
business men.
, ]. e, Baum-we do not care to be quoted
on the strike situation in any manner.
w. s. Jardine-Conditions at the present
time scarcely warrant a statement Of any
kind. There has been nothing definite de-
cided upon by the business men that is OPP
perfume for public information. SO far as
measures that will be used to enforce the
injunction are concerned, they must be
made later, as they are not yet planned.
]. A. Johnson-It is too early yet to tell
how the strike will be settled or how soon.
We hope to have more men at work tomor-
row. Today we succeeded in running FIVE
wagons. believe my men have a perfect
right to leave my employ and l have a right
to hire whom l choose to fill their places,
and thai the former employees have no right
to modest the latter. l have tried always
to be kind, considerate and just to my en-
~ployes."
