WANT TO JOIN OLD STRIKERS
Locomotive Wood workers and Pipe
men Desire to Get Into Com
mon Movement.

Locomotive wood workers and pipemen
who struck at the Union Pacific shops last
Monday because they we're ordered to work
on the premium scale system wish to be-
come actively identified with the machin-
lists. blacksmiths and boiler makers who
have been out on strike for the SAM rea-
son during the last seven months.
Yesterday both the wood workers and
pipemen met and appointed committees to
confer with the other strikers and ask for
representation on their joint executive COM
mittee. Both meetings were held at
o'Neill's hall, Sixteenth and Cunning streets.
This action makes it apparent that these
latest recruits TO the striking forces mean
business as much as any Of their predeces-
rors. This is a surprise to some Of the
machinlsts and boiler makers, who thought
and said openly at first that the wood work.
ers and pipemen would go back shortly.

MILLER TAKES THE WILLARD
Concludes Deal with the sOrE Heirs
and VIII Assume Control in
February.

It has been conclusively settled that
Rome Miller will on February / add to his
hotel interests in this city by assuming the
proprietorship of the Willard hotel. He Is
now proprietor Of the Her Grand and is ex-
tensively interested in the Paxton. The
transaction whereby Mr.. Miller will become
lessee OF the Willard hotel has now been
entirely completed and will become effec-
tive February 1, at the expiration of the
present lease with J. E. Markell & Son.
The Willard hotel property is owned by
the heirs of p. j. Sorg and Mr.. Miller's me-
gotiations have been carried on through
Paul A. Serg as the representative of the
estate. These negotiations we're begun at
the time 1t was first announced that ]. q.
Markell had determined not to renew his
lease of the premises and Mr.. Miller held
several conferences with Mr.. Sorg at Chi
cago, but 1t was not until Wednesday night
that the ANAL documents were executed in
Omaha.
The beginning of Mr.. Miller's tenancy
OF the hotel will be attended by improve
ments and repairs throughout the house,
but this work will be conducted in such
a manner that 1t will not neeessitate the
closing of the hotel at any time. These
improvements, it is estimated, will cost
from $15. 900 to 500. 900. and will embrace
new decoration of the entire interior OF
the house, renting the bathrooms through
out and a thorough overhauling Of all the
plumbing.
1t is now intended that there shall be
some consolidation in the operation OF the
Willard and Her Grand hotels when they
come under the same management. For
instance, only one laundry will be main
tanned. and there will be one system for
purchasing supplies and keeping the gen,
eral accounts as far as is possible.
The Willard hotel has. since 1t was built,
eighteen years ago. been under the man.
agement OF J. E. Markell, with the ex-
ception OF two years.
Mr.. Miller's lease of the Willard hotel
property is for two years, with the op-
tion Of an extension Of one year at the
expiration of that time. He states that
there will be no change for the present
in the executive stan at the Willard, and
Mr.. Davenport will remain as chief clerk.

CHURCH RoBBER UP AGAIN
George Hayes Completes One Jail
Term and Must Answer
other Charges.

George Hayes, who attracted considerable
attention a short time ago by robbing six
Catholic churches in Omaha, completed his
sentence in the count Jail for one of the
jobs yesterday and was Immediately ar
raigned before Judge Berka on the charge
of robbing the ST. Mary Magdalene church
altar.
The prisoner stated to the court that he
had pleaded guilty on the former charge
with the understanding that the balance Of
the counts would not be used against him.
He said he considered his offense trivial,
as he robbed many and no Individual would
suffer as a consequence. The court took a
different view Of the case Snd held Hayes
for hearing Friday, There are still four

MAY JOIN PLUMBERS UNION
Striking Union Pacific Pipemen
Likely to ne Accepted in
Organization.

ofhcial organization of the Union Pacific
striking pipemen under the American
Federation Of Labor, set for yesterday,
has been postponed for a few days. This
Is because there now seems some chance
that the pipemen will be received into the
local plumbers union, and the delay is
to await a definite answer from that or
ganization.
Plumbers have always, heretofore, re-
fused to let their fellow craftsmen at the
shops Join the union, because Of the dis
crepaney in wages. The plumber about
town gets from 40 to 80 cents an hour.
while those at the shops get only 80 cents.
Yet the shopman plumber makes as
much or more money than his city coll
league. for he works all the year around
all day long, while the other has odd Jobs,
losing hours and sometimes days between.
