PLUMBERS WANT No HELP
Union Men DisspprOve Sympathetic Strikes
and bastsrs Receive Aid.
BUSINESS MEMS ASSOCIATION COMES OUT
BY Formal Vote IL Decides to Sup
port Employers in Their Pres
ent Clash with Union
WOrkmen.

While the journeymen plumbers locked
out have declined to sanction sympathetic
strikes of other trades unions or accept
proffers OF their help, the financial and
moral assistance of the Business Mems as
ISOLATION is to be given master plumbers
in their present difficulty with the journey
men by the importation of a large number
Of nonunion workmen to meet the deficiency
supplied when the journeymen were locked
out a few days ago.
This action was decided upon at the reg
ular monthly meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Business Mems association
Thursday afternoon at the Omaha Com
mercial club. In the absence of the chair
man. Euclid Martin, the meeting was pre-
sided over by E. E. Bruce and waxed
warm at frequent intervals. Several of
the members were against giving any active
support to the master plumbers but the
committee finally decided to lend the aid
of the association TO the employers
The debate was precipitated by the re-
ceipt of information from one member that
a large number OF nonunion plumbers had
been corralled who were anxiously await
ing to come to Omaha.
After tacitly endorsing the stand Of the
master plumbers In locking out their union
employees on account of their refusal as a
union to sign an agreement not TO enter
into any sympathetic strikes during the
coming building year, plans were made TO
send transportation 10 the strike-breaking
plumbers, who are said to be within one
days ride of Omaha
Plumbers Want No Help.
There was no material change Thursday
morning I'm the relations between the mas

The journeymen are maintaining headquar-
ters in Washington hall. while the masters
are doing what work they can. 1t is be-
lieved Mayor Dahlman will be called on
Friday to select a committee OF three per-
sons and endeavor to bring the journeymen
and masters together. The mayor was in

on the subject and agreed to do anything

situation was unchanged.
Secretary Kugel of the journeymen said
| the members of his union would be glad TO
meet the-masters In conference and talk
matters over.
But" said Mr.. Kugel, I'VE want to be
placed on our honor that We will keep the
verbal agreement already made that we
will not engage in sympathetic strikes. II
came to us before the lockout that the mas

F,swors 2rt sce-te.

Chemically the same scent, says
a writer, may oecur in plants be-
longing to widely different families
For instance, the distinctive smell
os>yiolets occurs also in the snow
flake, the stocks, a spurge laurel
and the blue water lily CT the Nile.
On the other hand, closely allied
plants may emit scents differing
greatly in nature and appealing to
the tastes of different insects.
Among the spurgc laurels one spe-
GIGS smells of 7anilla, another of
vi5lets, another of lilac and yet an
other Of cloves. Flowers which ex-
hale the delicious smell Of honey in
the comb appeal particularly to
bees. butterflies and the moths
which fly by day, as the humming
bird, the hawk moth and the gayly
colored burnet. The coarser and
more powerful scents Of the haw-
thorn and elder are the specicl al
lurement Of the beautiful green rose
beetle and other flower loving bee
ties, while butterflies leave this class
of scents severely alone"

ILL FATED AUTHORS.
Writers Whose Works Proved Thsir
Own Death W5rrar--.


In times gone by monarchs gave
short shrift to the authors OF BOOKS
that offended them. The Boafbons,
for instance, did not scrup.e about
paying assassins to remove those
writers, such as the gifted Pa9i
Courier, whose WORKS displeased
them. Nor did the great Napoleon
hesitate at all in shooting or hang
ing the unhappy author who crossed
his path.
On one occasion he executed the
pubhsher-one named Pain of
Nuremberg-of a book attacking
him because that individual refused
to disclose the name of its author.
A terrible fate befell a nineteen
year-od autheress of a poem which
was read by no other person than
its writer, a lady of the Empress
Elizabeth of Russia's court, and the
empress herself. This was Vera
Paskin, who wrote about 200 lines
of verse satirizing the empress
vices.
In youthful pride and imprudence
the girl showed the manuscript to
one Of the court ladies'. To curry
favor with the empress this woman
showed it to Elizabeth, who there
upon ordered Vera Paskin to be
cruelty knouted and banished for
life to Siberia.
A poem has even brought about
the death Gifts writer, and in Eng
land too. James [. was the offend
ed monarch, John Williams the
poet. Williams, for safety, inclosed
the verses in an iron box and sent
them to the king, who, always fear
ing assassination, jumped to the
conclusion that the box was none
other than an internal machine.
When the news Of the real nature
of the box's contents leaked out,
however, James grew so angry at
the jeers that were leveled at him
from all parts of the kingdom that
he had the unfortunate John Viii
Hams hanged, drawn and quartered.

Two bills have been introduced in
Congress which give us the sense OF
painful regret. because their authors
are Southern men.
The one is bill BY Senator McLau-
rim, of Mississippi, to provide for the
Issuance OF United States Treasury
rotss against 40 per cent. of the value
OF any cotton which might be deposited
In duly designated government depos-
itaries.
Why should the Senator have Offered
such an absurd bill? He knew when
he offered II that it would not be
taken seriously. Mould lac nave offered
bill TO provide for the issuance
of United states Treasury notes against
20 per cent. of the value OF coal or
iron, or irnperishable manufactured
products which might be stored in
government depositaries? But if cotton
Should be made basis of government
currency. why not coal and iron and
all other raw or manufactured pro-
ducts OF intrinsic value? Senator Me-
I-aurins bill Is but the revival of the
government warehouse plan that was
proposed some fifteen years ago, and
which soon fen into ttdicule 1t is
greatly TO be regretted, we repeat, that
,his topulistic measure should have
been resurrected BY a Southern sena-
tor.
The other bill is BY Representative
Clark, Of Florida. providing for the sale
of the Philippine Islands to Japan, or
some other foreign power willing 10
reimburse the United States for the
original cost ana expenditures incurred
in maintaining them, or on such terms
as the President may prescribe.
The President is required in the
measure to open negotiations with the
people of the Philippines. Japan, or
some otter power, giving the people
of the islands the preference for the
sale
This bill should be styled "a bill to
sell an obligation" for such it is, and
there is no escape. If the Philippine
