the strikers and acceded 10 the demands
Of the union
The point in dispute was a question Of
hours, the company having already
agreed to that part OF the contract pro-
viding for an increase in wages among
the union men. This afternoon it was
decided 10 grant the Iast-named request
and thereby end the strike. Under the
provisions of the new contract, the en-
ployes will work eight hours daily all
the year around. The provisions Of the
old contract provided for nine hours daily
in summer and eight in winter.
A feature in connection with the sign
ing of the new contract is the curtail-
ment OF the supply Of beer furnished the
employees. This part Of the agreement
is practically similar TO that adopted by
the Washington brewers Heretofore the
men. It is stated. received beer at fire.

with heavy sprees. During the Pc

Story Of Young Girl
Gets Father in Jail
Forced to Go to Railroad Yards for
Coal Because Father Would
Not Work.

Brought into Juvenile court on q charge
of delinquency for staying out of school
and picking up coal In the railroad yards,
Regina Badura 10 years old, pretty daugh-
ter of Tony Badura, Fortieth and K
streets. South Omaha, told a story which
resulted in the placing of the father under
arrest Her fearful story showed that
the failure of the father to work and sup
port his family and not any unwillingness
OF the child to be good, is responsible for
the situation.
Regina and her father took seats near
Judge A. C. Troup acting as judge of the
Juvenile court, and the little one in answer
to the courts questions said that she was
in school until her mother, who is sick,
told her to remain at home and do the
housework that her mother told her TO go
to the railroad yards and pick up coal with
other little girls because there was no coal
In the house and no money with which to
purchase any. The little girl cried from
fear until the Judge and other officers of
the court assured her that no one would
harm her.
Juvenile officers testified that Badura
has not worked for a year. The man ex-
hibited a slightly swollen wrist and as
serted that II disables him. Neighbors Of
the Baduras testified that the family lives
only by the donations OF sympathetic
friends; that Badura could work II he
wished to, since he occasionally has
worked a day or two They said he does
not abuse his family, but merely does not
support It.
II was decided that a few days in Jail
may make the man change his opinion
regarding his physical inability to work.

Jones Just Hates

For This Reason He Refuses to Listen

Guy Jones, who will be an occupant of
the city Jail for five days Just hates mer-
cenary considerations. He can't stand the
emotion of money. The base, gross ma
terial things Of life are offensive to him.
That is one reason why he is in Jail. Con-
sideration of the prisoners distaste for
the mere mention of money deferred
Judge Crawford from assessing fine
against Jones in police court. Then, too,
the fact that the prisoner had no money
was another reason.
Mr.. Jones had completed a generous
meal at the Victoria He was wrapped
