REGENT COMPANY WILL STAY
Shoe Factory People Deny Intention of
Removing to Blair,
PRESIDENT WILLIAMS MAKES A STATEMENT
willing to Consider Offers from Any
Community, but Has Made No
Overtures and Is Satisfied
in Omaha.

Blair is very much stirred up over the
prospects for the removal of the Regent
Shoe company's factory from Omaha to
that city. The report reached here last
night that the Regent company had made
a proposition to the Blair Commercial club
for the location of the factory and the
club had appointed committees to investi-
gate the company's standing in Omaha and
to canvass for subscriptions. The Blair
Pilot yesterday published an article re-
garding the matter
The truth of these reports are denied by
o. b. Williams, president OF the Regent
company, who says the company has made
no proposition TO the Blair Commercial
club. H. G. Harte. vice president of the
company, makes the same statement.
Advices from Blair say the Omaha COM
pany has proposed that II the people of
Blair will furnish $4,000 the company will
put in a like amount and build at Blair a
plant with a capacity of coo pairs a day;
also that if Blair does not accept the
proposition the company will go to some
other town, as it wishes to get away from
the entanglements of union labor in Omaha.
Has Made No Proposition.
THE company has made no proposition
to Blair" said Mr.. Williams, land we are
not considering the matter. l can easily
explain how the report got started. Two
weeks ago l was in Blair and members of
the Commercial club came 20 me and asked
me If the company would consider propo-
sition 10 remove 10 Blair. told them that
any offer OF theirs would receive considera-
ton. Since then I have not heard from
them.
About a year ago, at the time OF the
consolidation Of the Richardson Shoe COM
pany and the Williams Shoe company into
the Regent Shoe company, Blair people
opened negotiations with US, but we were
unable 10 arrive at any satisfactory con-
illusions with them.
Union labor Is all right, and we are not
trying to get out OF Omaha on that account
We are not opening negotiations with any
town. On the other hand, / will say that
we are always ready 20 consider the propO-
sitions which any town may make. All
that has passed between me and Blair has
passed unofhcially and the company has
neither made nor received an offer"
The Regent company's factory is located
at 1909 North Twenty-fourth street. It
has been running a little more than q

Extraordinary"

Paris. Dec. 6.-'rhe Temps In a
leading article this evening discussing
President Roosevelt's message to con-

The Monroe doctrine is given ex-
traordinary proportions.
1T is no longer confined to forbid
ding Europe TO conquer or annex
South American territory, but Is also
extended against the simple seizure OF
custom houses. which Is the sole
means of effective reprisal against de-
linquent southern republics. President
Roosevelt did not present this objec-
tion three years ago against the triple
action of Germany. Great Britain and
