CAR MEN ENTER PROTEST
Complain that Company Has Treated
Them Unfairly.
PUTS THEM IN FALSE LIGHT
Refuses to Send Them Any state
ment of Terms and Then Tries
to Shift Blame on the
Union.

The union car men have issued a state
ment to the public setting forth what they
affirm to be their side of the controversy
with the company, asserting that the com
pany has treated them unfairly and has
placed them I'm a false light
The statement is:
OMAHA, 2 p. M, Sept. 2S.-The locked
out union street carmen desire that the
general public should know of the unfair
treatment that is being accorded them by
the street railway company. and how far
reaching their influence goes in an effort
to place us In the wrong light.
I'VE have always stood ready for fair
and impartial arbitration to our grievances,
the men to all return to work, Immediately.
"On last Thursday the five mayors rep
resentng Omaha, South Omaha, Council
Bluffs, Benson and Florence, met our rep
rescntatives and agreed to try and OBJ
tain a satisfactory settlement for us with
the company, or insist upon arbitration.
Their efforts on Thursday failed Of any
satisfactory results. and they agreed to
meet the company's representatives again
on Friday. The efforts of Friday proved as
fruitless as those of the day before. They
then said they would meet the companys
representatives again on Saturday and
make a further effort on Saturday there
was nothing accomplished that was indie
ative of favorable results. The mayors
told us that they were to meet with Presi-
dent Wattles the board of directors of
the company and a committee from the
city council at O'Clock Sunday afternoon,
and that they would give us definite
answer at that time With this assurance
we called meeting Of the locked out car
men at the Labor temple for Sunday
night at O'Clock to receive and act upon
any propositions that she mayors might
have to submit back to US.
"On Sunday afternoon at their meeting
according to published statements, a com
mittee from the Business Mems associa-
tion was invited to be present and partici-
pate in the deliberations. 1t will be no
tceabe that labor's interests were en-
tirely ignored. The decision arrived at
during this conference was placed in
sealed envelope to be opened at 10 o'clock
on Sunday night for the benefit of the
newspaper men with the understand
ing that no special extras should be put
out upon the street. Why were the car
men, who were waiting at the meeting hall
for the purpose OF learning the results Of
this conference entirely ignored? There
must be something radically wrong when a
committee Of this kind will purposely
withhold important information of this
nature from the men who were directly
involved in the controversy and who had
marched long miles to be present at their
meeting hall and were anxiously awaiting
to cooperate IN the interest Of peace and
in restoring normal street car service in
the city Of Omaha
up to the present moment not one
word has been receiyed from the ma vors
city council, or the street car company.
