RAILWAYS DEMAND PRIORITY
Insist on Supply of Coal Before They Haul

SERVE NOTICE ON THE MINE OWNERS
Omaha Not Yet stranded, Rs Dealers
and Big Users Are stocked
with Enough Coal TO
DO while.

Railroad managers generally have issued
orders to the coal mine owners that no
more coal will be hauled over the lines
to be sold for COMMERCIAL purposes until
the. RAILROADS get what they want from
the mines. This action is taken in antici-
patton of a strike and will have a heavy
bearing on the strike situation in the mid
die west.
From all reports Omaha is pretty well
taken care of at present and all the large
corporations are thought to have supply
on hand SUFFICIENT to last for at least thirty
days. The packers are well supplied, as
well as the electric light and the water
works companies Manager Smith of the
street railway company would give out no
information, but the. dealers say he will
not be caught mapping, as he has good
supply on hand and plenty I'm sight. An

Anticipate a strike.

One local railroad man said Wednesday;
THE railroads are all anticipating q
strike and are strainng every nerve to
get all cars possible TO the mines before
the clash comes"
The western mines are not affected by
the present prospective trouble. The mines
being involved are those of Indiana, I'LL
nois, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Kansas The Western Federation is not
mixed in the trouble.
Many of the western mines are operated
largely by machinery and nonunion men.
This is so in Colorado and at the Kilpat-
rick mines on the Burlington at Cambria.

RIGHT NAN OR NEW BOARD
Secretary With No Side Lines Demanded
for Grain Exchange.
PETITION CIRCULATED TO THIS EFFECT
One Member says 10 Directors Will
Not Grant a. New Direc-
tors VIII he Pat
In.

A petition has been presented to the
board of directors of the Omaha Grain
exchange asking it to choose for secretary
a man who has no outside interests. 1t is
signed by a majority of the active mem
bers of the exchange, that is, those men
who actually deal in grain.
The petition was directed against pro-
posed action by the board Of directors OF
the exchange to combine the traffic inter-
ests of the exchange and the club.
wiII Get IL or New board.
1--WE hope the board will accede TO our
wishes I'm the natter said one OF the men
who signed the petition. Certainly the
men who do the actual business in grain
are the ones who ought TO have say In
the government. If the board cannot give
the active members what they want, then
We will have new board az soon as pos
sible. OF course tho grain men in the ex-
change are less in number than the jobbers
and other business men, but when il comes
to voting on a new set of directors think
they will act in the interests of the grain
men"
Mr. Merriam, in talking to reporter for
The Bee, declared himself absolutely sim
cere in presenting resolutions Tuesday to
combine the transportation interests of
the exchange anu the COIlIleIGldl NluDs
He added that he expected TO see the reso-
lutions passed i'm amended form at the
meeting Friday.
THE grain committee, the chairman of
which called the meeting Tuesday. has no
right to resolve" said one of the board
of directors. "All it's resolutions will not
make make or prevent any consolidation
OF interests with the Commercial club. The
question of Mr.. Merchants successor is
one for the board of directors to handle
Nathan Merriam and A. b. Jaquith were
the only members of the board present at
Tuesdays meeting"
TRANSPORTATION Committee.
One man figured out Mr.. MerriRm's rea-
son for presenting the resolutions, in this
way:
Mr.. Merriam doesn't care so much about
the secretaryship The resolution in which
he is interested in that regarding the trans
| portation committee. He wants a COM
mittee of FIVE, consisting of one line ele-
vator man, two terminal elevator men and
| two brokers. The two elevator men would
mean himself and a man from the Inde-
pendent elevator company They would
control the committee, for one of the other
/ of the brokers would always side in with
them as against the line elevators. Notice
| these words Of the resolution: Through
this bureau all freight matters shall pass
to the traffic commissioner Mr.. Merriam
would control the commissioner through the
committee, and dictate the whole policy OF
| the exchange"
| II is taken for granted that some of the
! directors are in favor of having Mr..
McVann placed i'm charge of the trafio
interests Of the exchange. and that they
have been assured by members of the ex-
| ecutive committee of the Commercial club
| that il there was good chance the club
| would approve such an arrangement.

The calm among the democrats caused
by few contests at the primaries has
been rubbed the wrong way by the aD-
pearance OF a counciimanic slate, alleged
TO have been sprung from Jacksonian club
sources. This is denied by Jacksonian
leaders, who say that Dunn Abbott and
Company are responsible. In the First,
Third. Fourth. Sixth, Eighth and Elev-
enth wards there are no contests. In the
other wards these favorites are picked

been stirred up by the breaking of the

Better Coal at Higher Price.

The Omaha Coal, Hay and Building Sup
ply company has notified the Board of Fire
and Police Commissioners that IL is unable
to supply Cherokee steam coal at the
price bid early in the year and will be re-
quired to furnish "a higher grade Of coal
at a very considerable ADVANCE in price
The board is in the lurch because no con-
tract has been signed with the Arm, the
matter having dragged to date. The price
is 1896 ton and was the lowest offered
by a number of dealers. The coal is used
to heat the jails and several of the fire
stations. Last years contract was held by
Sunderland Bros. and called for SIS Clerk
Harvey took advantage OF the old price
and stocked up the buildings to the limit.
He would be still buying coal under the
expired agreement, but Sunderland Bros.
called off the deal a few days ago
The Omaha Coal. Hay and Building Sup
ply company declares 1t cannot get the
s2.9s grade OF Cherokee steam coal because
of the seizure of it by the railroad compa-

GOSSIP OF THE POLITICIANS
r. W. blackburn is Forced ny IN
Health 60 Go to Cal
ifOrnia.

one OF the leading politicians OF the
Fontanelle machine has been compelled by
bad health to forego much activity I'm the
present campaign. I. w. Blackburn, who
was ono Of the founders Of the organiza-
ton and the prime promoter Of Benson.
left Tuesday for California, where he will
remain a month and possibly longer to
beneht his health Some time ago his
physician ordered Mr.. Blackburn TO south
ern California because OF a nervous break
down, due, II is said. to overwork. He has
relatives living near Los Angeles and will
spend his time with them. Mrs. Blackburn
did not accompany him.
Those who have heard Bob Houghton's
denunciation of the Fontanelle machine
say Il Is more caustic than anything vet
appearing in print The other night Hough-
ton CHANGED to attend a strictly Benson
ward meeting, but was called upon by a
kindly chairman to talk. The erstwhile
Fontanelle enthusiast responded with a
triple expansion discourse on why he bolted
the boilers organization and how ignoble
its methods are. Mr.. Houghton failed 90
get a councilmanic endorsement from the
club and he undertook to show that west
/ of Tammany Hall no tighter or more
arbitrary political mechanism existed in
these broad United States.
and" said Houghton, I'm telling about
| it, what struck me as odd was that /
| got considerable applause. l thought I
was In the midst Of the enemy, but seemed
to be making lots of friends"
Anent the Good Government league, OF
! which there has been some Interrogation
| of late, City Clerk Elbourn says:
Several weeks ago the secretary OF the
| league, A. II. Packard, appeared before a
meeting of the Twelfth Ward Republican
| club, solicited members and distributed lit
erature. He made certain statements re-
| garding the membership, dues, ETC., on
which we sfterward figured it out that
President Ware has about 5000 a year
trickling into his office from membership
fees. That is calculating on the basis Of
| 1900 members, the number claimed, at 50
a year. Some of us wondered what Mr..
Ware did with all this money. Mr. Pack
ard said the secretary. was the only officer
who drew a salary. Up in the Twelfth ward
the mystery of what becomes of $1,000 a
year remains unanswered"

Most of the Cambria coal is consumed by
the Burlington railroad.
The western mines will be a great help
to Omaha i'm the present crisis, especially
those on the Union Pacific at Rock Springs
and the Burlington At Sheridan. A re-
deeming feature OF the situation here. is
the coming OF spring, SO people will not

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, October 51.-Depression
ruled at the stock exchange today.
Not only was the market dull in the
technical sense Of small dealings and
narrow fluctuations, but the subject
matter of discussion vas trivial and
the factors of influence OF the trading
unimportant. Calling of loans induced
some speculative liquidation. The call
money rate also ran up early in the
day to 8 IL per cent, giTing warning
of a growing scarcity IF available
funds. Trust companieJ as well as

Some Of the scaling dow Of loans was
