UNION PACIFIC ENGINEERS
DO. NOTHING ON WAGES
Committee AdJOurns After Thirty
Seven Days, saying Relations
Are Amicable.

""
After a session Of thirty-seven conseou-
tive days the general committee Of admin
istratlon OF the Union Pacific branch OF
the brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers
has completed its celebrations. The com
mittee OF twelve adjourned sine die at the
MiIlard hotel Wednesday, naming October.
1911. as the next time OF meeting.
These officers for the succeeding two
years were chosen; General chairman. A.
l.. Konold Of Laramie, Wyo.; vice chair
man, H.. B. Maxwell OF Beatrice; seere-
tsry and treasurer, C. F. Tracy OF North
Platte.
Relations between the employers and
the employees OF the Union Pacific railroad
are amicsble and satisfactory" said a
member OF the committed. I'VE have con
sldered a number OF minor claims for ad-
tustments of schedules and wages OF emf
ployes. but we have made no formal de-
mAnd for increased wages OF any kind.
Nothing has been done or will be done
by our committee in the movement in
stigated by the railway firemen for higher
wages. II any stand Is taken by the broth
erhood Il viii be under the direction Of
our national officers We are for a refer
endum vote in anything OF this kind. Our

troit next May. Action OF some kind may

National Grain
Inspection Basis
Plan on Which Exchanges Of the
Country Unite at Meeting
in Chicago.

Grain exchanges of the country have
organized under the name Of the Council
OF North American Grain Exchanges, Tenn
porary officers were elected at the meet
ing held in Chicago Tuesday and they will
serve until the annual election in Febru-
cry. Twenty of the leading exchanges Of
the country, including Omaha, were rep
resented.
One OF the most important matters be-
fore the meeting was the beginning Of a
movement looking to uniform grain in
spection. This is an effort to have all
exchanges working on the same basis as
TO future contracts for the benefit OF
ell persons in the grain business.
In Omaha grain is inspected by the
Omaha Grain exchange and In Illinois they
have state inspection. Som want federal
control of inspection. An effort is to be
made to grade all grains alike under a
STANDARD set by the federal government
end to have one set Of rules for all ex-
changes.

NO LOCAL OPTION FOR JAMES
he win FiEht for sO-Caued Home
Rule, while shslIenberger
Plays Both Ends "a the
Middle.

Since It has come out at Lincoln that
Mr.. Bryan is not TO be allowed to have
Il ali his own way IN the making OF the
next democratic platform, It has leakeo
out in Omaha that Mayor Dahlman and
the peerless one reached an offensive ano
defensive agreement during their confer
ence last week.
"Dablman told Bryan just what he In
tends to do in his next years campaign
for the governorship," says a man whose
Affiliations with the mayor are very close.
He Ia an operator on the South Omaha
exchange and will be behind the mayor
with substantial as well as moral In
fluence.
Jim won't stand for a local option
rssrLu continued his friend, and he
won't stand for an Endorsement Of the
8 o'clock closing law in the platform, II
we can beat II. Real home rule for every
community will be the meat OF the DAM
man contention. and ~ a declaration along
that line can be secured, Mr.. Bryan Will
not quarrel with 1t. That involves the
amendment Of the state laws to permit
every city, above a certain populatlon' 70
make its own charter. through a charteF
commission that will be a continuing body
with such a law, properly framed we
believe that regulation Of saloons ana
similar matters can be arranged In . much
better fashion than at present
Remains to BE seen.
.p,t can YOU get the 8 o'clock closing
law repealed7"
"rbat remains TO be seen. shallenberger
will take that end Of the fight. II we beat
him and elect a legislature of the right
men we can fix It so that towns which
want the daylight saloon can have It, but
they will not have the power to impose
Il on other owns. Dahlman's friends are
canvassing the state sentiment pretty thor
oughiy. and when the fight opens we will
know Just where We stand"
The same man asserts with dogmatic GER
tainty that shalienberger will later be
forced into the field for United States
senator and will abandon the gubernatorial
field.
Then What about the s o'clock closing
law" he was asked.
THAT won't bother the governor. You
noticed what he said last fail to the liberal
lemen and what he did when the bill
got to him. You also probably noticed
what he did when Bergman went down
with a Chicago shirtmaker and you have
read the statements Of Omaha business
men as to what the governor promised
them touching that kind OF a contract.
well. shallenberger is a politician II
there ever was one, and has less scruple TO
overcome, II he can win, than even Bryan,
himself. Dahlman fights in the open and
relies on the people to back him; Shallen-
berger plays diplomacy, policy or what
ever you may care to call it. He viii be
there with the same play next year, you
can bet on that"

General Malone:

General Malone:
Having always supported you
because | deemed it for the best
interest of the State, l shall
continue to do so.
When that letter was written to
General Malone, every Demo
cratic paper in Virginia was de-
nouncing him in unmeasured,
terms, and every Democrat in the
State ageed with the editorials.
Yet Judge Mann, who has said
that he has always supported the
Democratic party and has never
considered himself greater than the
party, was eXpressedly willing to
do all that he could to help
Malone. for he writes to the Gen
eral. III | can be of any service to
you in this section it will be cheer
fully rendered. "
The white light of publicity has
been long-delayed, but it looks
very much as though the Judge
had been caught with the goods. ="
