No Arbitration for This One.


SOUTH OMAHA, Sept. 29.-To the Editor
of The Bee: After reading your editorial
on arbitration l would like to ask you and
the public through your columns IL you
are waiting for bloodshed as you speak of.
Can 1t be possible that after the car COM
pany has made such a brave fight and is
Just getting a start with its service, be-
cause 1t is improving and has been better
today than any day since the strike, 1
say can it be possible that Mayors
Koutsky and Dahlman want to stir up the
lawless public to frenzy by allowing public
mass meetings and parades such as is
talked OF to take place in South Omaha
and in Omaha.
1t almost seems as II Omaha did not
appreciate what the street railway COM
pany has done for il In the years of
struggle, which it has had to build up its
fine system, and at the same time to help
build up the business of Omaha and South
Omaha, for where would you be If it were
not for the car service. Your buslne
would be dead and business is a city's
life. This man Pratt, this maker Of strikes
and trouble, who makes a business Of
travelling over the country for that pur-
pose came TO Omaha to make this strike
at this time, thinking to make the strike
a success by interfering with the car com
pany and erippling them at this time. It
does not speak we'll for Mr.. Pickens, or for
any member of the board of Ak-Sar-Ben
10 lake sides with this double dyed villain
who seeks 10 hide his rascality behind a
few h~ot-tempered men. This strike was
unjust in the start, as the men are better
paid than in larger and older cities. They
have warm comfortable cars, and no man
who gets home for two hours during the
day and can make ten hours work at their
pay has such a very hard time.
l think the street railway company has
taken the proper stand to ward off trouble
for the future, II it should arbltrate with
those llen and axe them back they would
have trouble again in a few months at
some imaginary grievance Of the union,
and there would be another d~isgraceful
act OF violence such as occurred at the
Vinton barns a week ago. The car com
pany will handle the Ak-SaT-Ben crowds,
OF that / am sure, If they are not forced
from the streets by riots such as there
have been during the last week, and l
hope the mayors will not help TO incite
trouble by allowing public meetings and
parades.
l have been a subscriber for many years
of The Bee and would Ike TO see that ex-
cellent paper speak a word for a good
cause and not dig so much on arbitration.
The strikers had the offer made to them
TO return to work-don't let any one over
look that fact, They did not choose to
accept at the time specified-if they don't
want the work there are many who do.
and excellent men. and the strike was
declared OFF by the company al noon yes
terday. Why should Omaha want to force
them to open the trouble again

and abruptly left the service on the order
and command of two foreign labor agi-
tators, and who have used their best eff
forts to induce the whole body Of employees
to join them in preventing all street car
transportation and paralyzing the business
interests of 25O, 900 people. The street car
strike in it's incipient stage was sprung for
the ultimate purpose of forcing the COM
pany to recognize the union and employ
none but members OF the union. This was
the crucial object. although now when pub
lie sentiment is arraigned against them
they persistently deny it. A young friend
who has filled the position Of car con-
ductor about three years informed me a
short time ago that his monthly salary
amounted to $50 and $5 per month. This
included some extra runs he made. Be-
for entering the street car service he
never made over $50 and $50 per month
Another young fellow whom 1 know OBJ
tanned a position with the company a
couple years ago and before the strike he
was working swinging runs morning and
evening, receiving about $45 per month. and
attending school almost every day.
Higher wages was not the principal issue
in this Industrial contest. 1t was made
for the purpose of strengthening unionism
and maintaining a position of power and
dictation over the company. All employers
Of labor realize this fact, hence their al
most universal sympathy with the car
company. In all the mob riots that have
disgraced South Omaha In the past 1 never
observed one good citizen engaged In
them. Peaceable, law-abiding citizens
neither engage in riots or In any way en-
courage them. 1t is only the young,
thoughtless, vicious chaps who are always
looking for trouble and excitement, and
who are invariably spurred on and en-
couraged to assault, main and frequently

Wythevine, Va, Dec. 21.-The hand
some residence of Mr.. c. NJ Hicks

partment, TO eXtinguish them, but by
great effort the adjcent buildings
We're saved with but little damage
The Lutheran church was injured
slightly by the excessive heat.
Mr. Hicks carried insurance with
the S. e. Ewald insurance agency on
house and furniture for $4,000. Some
of the furniture was saved.

statements that have been issued by
those who were acting as his spokes-
men.
In sending his data to Copenhagen.
DR.. Cook has fulfilled his obligations to
the public
The foregoing was issued by the ex-
plorer's brother in view of the fact
that the doctors apparent seclusion
caused great anxiety among his friends,
leaving even John R. Bradley, his fin
ancial hacker puzzled and excited Mrs.
Cook is also in New York, but her ex-
act whereabouts has not been an
nounced.
Friends of DR.. Cook undertook to ex-
plain the situation in this wise:
ct is true" they say, that the doc
tors fears have been greatly worked on
by the belief that some of those with
whom he associated that there exists a
plot to steal his records. even to spirit
him away in person. He even engaged
two private detectives to shadow his
supposed shadowers. Mrs. Cook and
those in her confidence felt that this
atmosphere was not good for the doc
tor and arranged to have him convey
ed into SecluSion.
1.-The doctor intended no mystery. All
that aspect of his affairs has resulted
from the announcement made by Mr..
Wack. who has not seen DR.. COOK Tor
a week and merely acted on the pre-
sumption that he vas to sail on the
Carol"
DR.. Cooks health is the matter of
great concern among the friends whom
he has left in the dark. Prior to has
sudden retirement he was reported to
be on the verge of nervous prostrat1on,
and it is assumed by some that the ne
cessity for absolute rest may have
prompted his wife to insist on his Sc
clusion.
Weilman Denounces Cook.
Washington Nov. 29.-Walter Well
man, whose preparations for con-
quest of the North Pole in an airship
were abandoned upon the announce
rnent of the claims of DR.. Frederick A.
Cook and Commander r. E. Peary, has
issued a long statement in which he an
alyzes the narratives of the two ex-
plorers, declaring that of Peary pre-
else. workmanlike, consistent, credible
in every particular" and denouncing
that of DIR. Cook as a "self evident and
even deliberate imposture."
Cooks story is suspicious both in
what it does tell and what it does not
tell Mr.. Wellman declares. He is
generally vague and indefinite, but, like
most men of his class. altogether too
precise at the wrong place. Nowhere
does his story ring true. 1t is always
an approximation of reality itself. This
is true of his figures, his description of
everything.

lice departments of several large cit
les, are exerting every effort to bring
the criminal to justice. The swindle
is to present for shipment four or
five barrels said to contain scrap rub
Der and scrap brass, pay the charges
on the shipment and receive a bill of
lading. He then appears in the city
to which his shipment is consigned
and sells the bill of lading to a junk
dealer. Four or five barrels of scrap
rubber and brass are of considerable
value, and in some instances unsus-
pecting junk dealers have willingly
paid 5000 for the bill of lading, con-
graduating themselves on the bar
gain. AS long as the railroad deliv-
ers in first class condition the pack
ages called for on the bill of lading
it is not liable for damages of any
kind, but the dealer purchasing the
bogus paper must stand the entire
loss. Upon presenting the bills of
lading to the railroad the barrels are
found to contain stones, sand and
other material of little value.

absented himself from his work for
three days in November last, to go
nome and vote.
On his return to work he was noti-
fed he was discharged and that a
charge of characterization" had been
fled with the civil service commission
as reason for such discharge.
Later on an appeal to Representa-
tive Bingham, of whom he was con-
stituent, Mr. Rodgers was reinstated
hut the charge of insubordination was
OF Withdrawn. Mr.. Bingham main
