HOUSE STRIKE OFF
Common LabOrers Get the Increase
Demanded and Return
to Work.

All likelihood OF further disturbance in
the labor conditions at Armours packing
plant appeared TO be at an end Tuesday
noon. Some OF the men who walked out
Monday did not return before 10 a. m, but
at noon 1t was thought all demands had
been met. II Is understood that advices
arrived Tuesday morning from the Chicago
department recommending all labor known
as common labor. such as leaders, truckers,
luggers and the like, be granted an in
crease to IS cents an hour straight. The
boys In the lard refinery want 12is cents
instead of 10 cents, but It is not known
whether they will receive the demand. The
demand OF the car repairers was not on
the matter of wages primarily and they
arrived at satisfactory settlement Mon
day afternoon.
The extreme scarcity of common laboTers
the multiplicity OF crimes arising as a re-
suit OF the importation Of negroes from the
south during the last packing house strike
and the immense business on hands at
present are elements which are said to
have worked toward the prompt adjust
ment OF the difficulties. There Is a fear
however that all the men are not yet en-
tIrely content and further trouble is pos
sible.

Now.

Soil continues to be in very fair condition
IN Nebraska. according 70 the crop. soil and
weather report OF the Burlington for tho
week ending May T. During the week the
total snowfall throushout the district
ranged from four 70 fourteen inches and as
rule was heavy with moisture and In
some cases accompanied with more or less
rain. so the moisture which actually
is now no place in Nebraska actually in
need OF moisture
Winter wheat was at a standstill during
the week, suffering no damage, however.
Spring grain not only made no progress
during the week, but was probably some
what damaged by the cold weather and
snow storms.
The soil has been in very fair condition
for blowing and work has progressed we'll
Practically no corn has been planted. but
the ground has been very generally pre-
pared for the crop and with seasCnable
weather the planting will now progress very
fast. II is not late for corn planting and
there is no reason why the crop may not be
gotten into the ground in good season, with
favorable weather from now on.
The potato crop is generally planted, but
has made no progress and It is not unlikely
that In some cases the seed has rotted in
the ground.
In places half the sugar beet crop has
been planted and has not been damaged by
cold weather.
Like vegetation. stock has not done much
during the last week except keep alive
There seems TO be no doubt that all the
fruit is killed.

burned as much, as anyone starting a
fire among the oil on the lower floor
would probably want to run from the
building as quickly as possible.
Superintendent Reynolds said that
morning that he was keeping the foot
prints untouched, to allow the police
to examine them They do not con-
stitute much of a clew, however, and
there is not much to work on.
Yesterday morning at 1853 the fire
department received a message from
the telephone exchange, stating that
the kerosene oil warehouse on Keawe
street was on fire. Two engines, two
hose carts and the chemical engine
from headquarters answered the alarm,
and by the time they arrived found
that the building that had once been
used for a leper hospital was blazing
away at a good rate, and some quick
work would have to be done to save
the building and the~oil. Between 800
and 1000 barrels of oil were stored on
the ground floor and the firemen start
ed in to remove the oil as fast as they
could.
When the firemen arrived they found
that in addition to the ground floor the
second story was also on fire and the
fact that the building was on fire in
two places seemed rather suspicious to-
fnf nd In fTraT1 obi a q
started an investigation to find out
exactly the cause of the fire. The
steam engine was ready to start a
stream on the building from the hy-
drant in front of the Union Feed Com
pany's building, but that was not nee
essary as the men from the chemical
engine were able to put the fire out
with their machine. Between forty
and fifty oil cases were burned, but
the remainder were all saved. With
the exception of the wall on the Sec
ond story being scorched the building
was unchanged, and before eight-thir-
ty the fire was out and the men on
their way home. Chief Thurston is
still working on what seems to be a
deliberate case of arson, and he will
probably be able to solve the problem
before the day is out
Chief Thurston stated this morning
that he and Chief of Detectives Tay-
lor were working on the case, but as
they had no direct evidence to work
on, it would be rather hard to put the
blame on any one. ut was an incen-
diary fire all right" he said "as the
fire on the second floor started on top
of the desk in the office, while the fire
down stairs was in the middle of all
the cases of oil stored there. If we
had arrived a few minutes later the
whole building would have gone, as
the explosions from the oil would
have spread very rapidly, and with the
dense smoke that is caused by of, we
would not have been able to get the
fire under control"

TRY TO SETTLE
RANGE LIGHT ISSUE
GOVERNOR FREAR is TAKING UP|
THE QUESTION OF WHERE 10
LOCATE SIGHT.

Governor Frear expects to take up
the matter of the location of the rear
Range Light, in the system of harbor
lights, which has been held up on ac-
count of the differences of opinion re-
garding the most available place to
put it, within a short time. 1t is prob
able that he will visit the proposed
sites at the foot of Fort street with
Capt. Orwell tomorrow morning.
By the recommendations of the
Army engineers in charge of the work,
the rear range light was located at the
juncture of Esplanade and Fort streets,
but Governor Carter objected to this
site on the grounds that it would in
terfere with street traffic, and wanted
it put in a vacant lot further back.
This the engineers objected to on the
grounds that the tower would for the
most part be cut off from view by a
warehouse of the Oceanic Steamship
Company, and thus make it less waltz
able as an aid to navigation than it
otherwise would be.
1t is expected that the new Cover
nor will try to settle the matter at
once, as the work on the lights has
been delayed for some months already,
and should be continued.
