Labor War for Omaha7

Omaha, June 26.-This city has
been brought face to face with one
of the most serious problems in its
history, and while 1t is hoped that a
strike may be avoided, indications
are most favorable for a clash that
will tie up all building operations for
an indefinite period. And this is
something that is regretted, for at
this season there has never been a
year in the past history or the town
when work was so plentiful, wages so
high and such demand for labor as
now.
The question that has been put up
to the Business Mems association is
the universal card system and so far
1t has been rejected. Already the re-
lations between the builders, the oon.
tractors and the labor unions are
strained and 1t would take but word
to bring on strike that would ex.
tend to all of the trades, stopping
work on at least $500 buildings and
throwing fully 10000 men out of en-
ployment for perhaps the balance OF
the season. This would mean a great
financial loss to both contractors
owners and wage earners.
The Building Trades council, made
up of delegates from all of the labor
unions, intends to establish a univer'
sal card system and the Business
Mems association, of which every
contractor is a member, is just as
determined that it shall not be intro
duced
This plan, If carried into effect
would mean that every carpenter
plumber, steamfitter, painter, plaster
er, brick and stone mason and every
man employed on any job would have
a card, showing the authority to work
funder authority of the Building Trades
council. 1t is contended by the con
tractors that it throws the entire la
Dor situation into the hands of the
labor unions. The headt Of the la
Dor unions say they control the situa
ton and do not propose to yield any
of the points which they hold.
Already on a number of the build
ings the contractors have refused to
recognize the universal card system
and have put on men of their own Sc
lection, for instance, to do the plumb
ing. In such instances the union car
penters have walked out and have re-
fused to return to work until card
plumbers are given the work on the
jobs.
Anticipating trouble, c. c. Montgom
cry, secretary of the Business Mems
association, says:
Business men will not stand for
the universal card system and one OF
the biggest labor struggles in the
history Of this city is being precipi
tated at this time. Already one plan
ing mill is tied up and two firms OF
carpenter contractors working on big
buildings are forced to quit work.

Origin Of Inland Empire.

A great many people, especially
strangers, wonder what is the origin
of the term Inland Empire" as
applied to eastern Oregon and Wash
ington.
In the year l848, DR.. George At
kinson, Of Portland, who was the
first home missionary Of the Congre-
gational church in Oregon, arrived
in Oregon City. From the begin
ming he took a lively interest i'll the
material as we'll as the spiritual and
educational development Of the Ore
gon country. He later called eastern
parts Of Oregon, Washington, and
parts of Idaho and Montana the
Inland Empire.
DR.. Atkinson was raised on farm.
He understood the practical side Of
agriculture and frequently wrote and
spoke upon the subject. As early as
1857, he made trip to Walla
Walla and beyond, securing samples
of soils from the hills thereabouts.
In the early COS he was in the Big
Bend country. in the vicinity Of Col
fax, and secured samples Of soils
there. He was familiar with the
science Of chemistry and analysed
the soils obtained finding they pos
sessed all the elements necessary to
the successful production of wheat.
He did the same thing in respect to
the numerous portions of Wasco
county, and also across the river in
Klickitat county, Washington.
He then secured samples Of soils,
from different portions Of Europe, in
localities where wheat growing was
the most successful and compared
the analysis Of those soils with those
at home and in this way became
firmly convinced that it was only {
question Of time when the territory
under consideration would become ;
great wheat growing region and tina
stock raising to which it was ther
almost solely devoted, would have
to be carried on in very much re
duced limits.
Furthermore he stoutly maintained
that wherever bunch grass woult
grow, the proper cultivation of tn
soil would in large measure assis
in securing the necessary moisture

region thoroughly, then referred t
