OUR LETTER BOX
Nv TeIenhRne.

WAKEFIELD, Neb., Feb 13.-To the Ed
itor of The Bee Some OF our people in this
part of the state who still have the interests
of Omaha at heart wonder II the business
men OF your city really understand the tel
ephone situation as 1t is. Last week the
New State Telephone company bought the
toll lines of the Northeast Nebraska Tele-
phone company, thereby giving nineteen
exchanges. from nineteen towns, including
seventy-nine farm lines. with over 1000
phones, direct connection with st. Paul,
Minneapolis, Dies Moines. Council Bluffs,
South Omaha and most important of all.
Sioux City. IT is true that the Nebraska
Telephone company maintains booth in
most of these towns. but If the business man
can use his own phone from his own office
and get what he wants he is not going out
to booth" with it's loss of time and in
convenience for the sake of patroniziug
those whom he might otherwise desire to
deal with.
Do the business men Of Omaha realize
that the Independent Telephone company
has come to stay? That northeast Me-
braska is a territory worth fighting for?
That Sioux City is now drawing trade from
this territory that rightly belongs to
Omaha? That as long the Independent
Telephone company is kept out of Omaha
Just that long Sioux City will reap the
benefit to Omaha's detriment in this part
of the state. Yours for Omaha and Ne
braska. F. Il. 8.

CITY is UNDER INJUNCTION
Restrained from Acquiring Park
Board Property and Having
Appraisement Made.

restraining order was issued yesterday
by Judge Kennedy to prevent the acquiring
by the city until after the adjudication Of
points raised i'm the petition of about $4,000
worth of real estate by the Park board. The
plaintiffs in the suit are Elizabeth p. Shan
non James NJ. Woolworth, Caroline L.
Poppleton and William l.. Poppleton, trus
tees of the estate of Andrew Poppleton.
The property consists OF tracts located at
Nineteenth and Sherman avenue, in Bluff
View addition, In block IA, between Four
teenth avenue and the Omaha Belt line rail-
way, and in Sulphur Springs addition. The
defendants are William Bartholomew,
Frank B. Kennard, Martin Durham, Mayor
Moores and the members of the city coun-
Gil. The first three defendants named con-
stitute the appraisers appointed by the
mayor to place a valuation on the property.
The petition enters into a general denial
of the powers of the city to acquire land for
park purposes and questions the legality OF
the proceedings In the city council. It also
contends under the law five appraisers in
stead of three should be appointed, as the
property is worth more than $4,000 The
order of Judge Kennedy restraints the ap-
praisers from making an appraisement or
the city from taking any steps to acquire
the property until further order OF the
court.

WOMEN A FACTOR in INDUSTRY
Miss Mary Mcdowell Delivers Address
Before Ladies' Label
League.

Women are not going out of industry.
/ There Is no use fighting them. There are
only two things laboring men can do. either
| organize them and get their cooperation
or marry them
This was the central theme of the adj
dress delivered last night 10y Miss Mary
Mcdowell of Chicago before "a meeting of
| the Ladies' Label league of the city at
Labor temple. Miss Mcdowell made a plea
| for more considera ton for women In the
labor movement and asserted that they
were in industry to stay and should be
treated as a permanent factor She adj
viscd organizing them rather than marry
ing them. For" she said, "when you
marry them they very frequently drift
back into industry after all"
At the outset she apologized for not APP
pearing with her labor badges on. She an
nounced that she was entitled to wear an
American Federation badge and Butch
ers' union button. Then she recounted her
reasons for taking up her residence in the
stock yards district OF Chicago during the
strike
II firmly believe" she said, that you
have a tremendous struggle before you in
the union and perhaps one of the weak
nesses Is that laboring men do not under
stand that 1t is an historic struggle for
economic democracy and social democracy.
When | think how mixed the problem Is
wonder how the butchers dared to go into
their strike in Chicago a few years ago
at all
81 am only in the kindergarten in the
movement. have been led into 1t by my
heart and my head has followed. l went
into the stock yards district to live, not
because I believed I could lift them up or
out of any idea of superiority but be-
cause was determined to jump over all
of the fences that had hedged me in my
own social circle. I said, I will not al
low anybody to put fence around me
and say I shall not know anybody God
has made Just because they are not within
that fence went to live among them
because I wanted to know about the great
movement I did not believe that so much
unrest could exist among so large body
OF men without good cause"
Miss Mcdowell had some specific rene
dies to offer and one of these was an in
vestigation to be undertaken by the De
partment OF Labor at Washington into the
condition OF women in industry. She asked
all the local labor unions to pass a resolu-
ton asking congress to allow the depart
ment to make the investigation which Is
to be followed by state legislation. In re-
ply to a question asked by one of the audi
ence she said investigation in South Omaha
in the afternoon convinced her the condi-
ton of women working in the packing
houses was better there than In Chicago
because there was more sunlight and bet
ter ventilation.

SINE Views On Burton's Case.

New Orleans Item: Since the con-
yiction Of Senator Burton Of Kansas
everybody has been disposed to jump
upod him. The public appears de-
lighted that member Of the senate
Is thrown into jail. IL happens, how
ever, that there are two sides 10 his
case, and 1t is the duty Of the public
to treat the matter fairly.
When the case came before the
United States Supreme Court Justices
Brewer, White and Peckham dissent
led from the view that the United
States was interested In the proceed
ing before the postofice department.
'Ths dissenting opinion was written
by Justice Brewer, who declared that
the construction Of the law adopted
|by the niaiOrlty wrote into the statute
an Ofense which congress never
blacSd there, Ne Of louisiana all
know the legal ability Of JuStiCe
White, and when he says that Senator
Burton did not violate the statute in
EqnestiO4 We may wen psuse and ask
ourselves whether justice has not
miscarried Id this case. s
Salina Union: We wonder how
those senator's feel who have filed
their pockets from timber deals, and
corporation legislation, when they
think Of Mr.. Burton in the Ironton
jail, where be was placed for Paltry
few hundred. accepted for legal adj
vice, The conviction Of Mr., Burton
at the face Of conditions known TO
exist IN Washington looks silly.

ally notes that IL Mr.. Burton had beeu
