UNION LABOR IN POLITICS
Central Labor Union Plans for n
Primary to BE Held on
April II.

The Central Labor union last night COM
pleted arrangements for holding a primary
election, open to members OF unions in good
standing, at Labor Temple on April IL.
The election will be carried on like that
held last fall and under the same rules.
The polls will open at O'Clock in the morn
ing and close at 10 o'clock at night. All
candidates on all party tickets submitting
their names with a petition signed by
twenty-five union labor members may be
voted upon. The committee having the
election in charge is composed of John
Polian, Ed Baker, A. F. Hanson, Joseph
Anderson and c. f. Kerscheit, the secre-
tary.
The rules provide that It will be the duty
of every union man to support the ticket
selected, and not to advise for or solicit
votes for any other candidate or to vote
or threaten to vote against the candidates
chosen. This provision caused several an
tagonistic speeches at the meeting, several
members declaring that it was contrary to
the constitution of the United States, in
that it sought to take away the right OF
free speech and TO attempt coercion in
political matters.
The central body, after much debate
| agreed to approve the rev wage scale to
be asked by the laundry workers. 1t will
demand a considerable increase in pay. bui
comedies a ten-hour day with regular rates
for overtime. The union expects difficulty
in getting laundries to sign it. and solicited
and received the support OF the centra
union in the undertaking.
On the Initiative OF Vice President
Keegan. c. F. F. Nicholson and President
Guye had a twenty minutes debate on the
subject of The Industrial Workers of tho
World versus the American Federation Of
Labor" Mr.. Nicholson presented the views
OF the new Debs socialistic Organization
and Mr.. Guye upheld the Federation OF
Labor and its aims and principles.
President oiuye c. F. F. Nicholson and
A. f. Hanson were named as delegates e
the Ministerial union.

ENEMY OF THE PRIMARY LAW
Burgess Thinks it Breeds Corruption
, and Therefore Prefers Old
Convention system.

Secretary Burgess OF the Board Of Edu-
cation does not think the Dodge primary
law has proven a good thing.
THE result the first time II was tried in
Omaha politics shows a candidate has no
chance for election unless he is backed by
a strong organization or has been In once
and is widely and favorably known.
think its practice will result in building up
some OF the worst machines OF the Tam
many hall type ever known in Omaha
When the next primary rolls around you
will see air-tight organizations in the field
capable OF exerting concentrated power and
capable Of collecting huge amounts OF
money. I prefer the old convention system
and believe IL Is more representative and
less likely to promote corrupt politics"

COAL WILL GO NO HIGHER
Prices Not Likely to Rise with Adj
vent OF Warm Weather,
Dealer Thinks.

Il think coal will not reach any higher
prices in Omaha" said j. N Marsh, coal
jobber. ION the contrary, ] think It will
be back in a short time to the figures pre-
vailing before the recent advances were
made. Coal is about $50 higher now at
wholesale prices than It was a month OF
more ago but this advance will soon he
lost
Warm weather is here now and the
domestic demand is practically nothing
People don't buy coal for household pur-
poses and ice at the same time. It is not
needed to heat the houses and for cooking
the women prefer TO use gasoline stoves
Those who must buy, get It in 500 pound
lots. The dealers have enough ON hand
to last long time with such a small de-
mand. Prices will not change much until
the miners troubles are settled finally, but
when they get back to work in Iowa anc
Illinois we will have plenty of coal at the
old prices"

tention of the county auditor to the fact

James J. Reed, the murderer of Glenna
Hynes. who was convicted and sentenced
in December. 1884, and has been lying in
the county Jail since the pending action on
his case by the supreme court
1t Is said TO have been the custom to
charge the board bill to the county in cases
where appeals are taken and sentence sus-
pended. Mr.. Steere has opinions from the
state auditor and the attorney general to
the effect that the board In this case is
chargeable to the state. The auditor Is in

zIMMAN WANTS LESS EXPENSE
InHtruets withheld to Inspect City
Hall with View of Eject
ing a saving.

Mayor zimman has instructed Building
Inspector Withheld to make thorough in
spection Of the city hall inside and out
and submit a detailed report to what is
necessary to put the structure in frst-class
condition. Besides the building proper he
intends to inquire into the methods of
heating and elevator service and see II
saving cannot be made. He favors one
good elevator in place of the two poor
ones now in use, and is inclined to think
electric power and the disuse of one ele-
vator crew would bring cheaper and more
satisfactory results than obtain at present.
The mayor says 1t is true the city hall has
been permitted to deteriorate as no private
building would be, and believes the time
has come when repairs should be made
and thorough renovation undertaken.
He proposes 10 do what he can along these
lines before the induction OF his successor.

MOTHER UP FOR KIDNAPPING
Mrs. schuehardt-De May BE
Tried for Taking Her own
Child.


For taking her 14-year-old daughter out
of the state after the court had given her
custody to her father, Mrs. Emily schuc-
hardt probably will have to face charge
of kidnapping. Judge Kennedy recently
awarded a decree of divorce to Edmund
Schuohardt. the woman's husband, and
gave him the custody of the daughter with
the understanding she was to be placed
i'm a Catholic institution in Omaha. The
girl went to the school, but a few days later
was taken by her mother to Hastings, Ia.
Mrs. Schuchardt was notified she had vio-
lated the order os the court and was given
a reasonable time in which TO return the
child to the jurisdiction of the court. She
has not done so and the matter has been
placed in the hands OF the county attorney
for criminal action.
Mrs schuchardt was given divorce
about a year ago and two days later went
to Council Bluffs and married Charles p.
Deutzman. a relative OF her husband. After
ward her husband had the decree set aside,
and at the second hearing of the case she
was denied a divorce and the decree given
her husband. Deutzman is said to be IN
Hastings also.
