ELECTION RESULTS.
Amendment No. 10 Probably Passed While
 No. II is In Doubt.

A light vote was polled through out the state in Mondays election. Indications are that Amendment No 10 for the initiative and refer endum has passed by small ma jority while No. II which exempt ed money invested in cotton mills in the state from taxation for ten years is in doubt and if carried will be by smaller majority than the former.
 Indications are that two dry" counties have gone wet and four wet counties have gone dry" making a gain of two counties for the prohibitionists. Ouachita county was one of the four to be voted dry" and Union county rolled up bigger majority than last year to remain in the dry" column.
 Indications are that the road tax carried in this county, but it will take the official vote to decide the matter.
 The following is the vote in 1 precincts out of a total of l8 pre- cinets in this county: For Amend ment No. 10, 526; against, 414; for Amendment No. Il, 293: against, SIS; Donaghey, 1.O19, Roland ez.

force would be dangerous if moved
rashly. Acting over and gathered
from an enormous area, in which
there exist many local differences,
it needs time, often a long time,
to become conscious of the pre-

both of local differences and of
class difference must be, so to
speak, well shaken up together. and
each part brought into contact with
the rest before the mixed liquid

"I'M NOT A FARLEY"
President Alpine of the Plumbers
Makes a Sharp Reply.

John r. Alpine, president of the
Plumbers, Gas Filters and Steam Fit
ters International Union, doesn't waste
words when he talks. Recently he was
approached by representative of a
union busting bunch and overtures
made to pay him for organizing a dual
union of steam filters.
I'm not Farley" exclaimed AL
pine.
Then Alpine proceeded to make a
few remarks, brief and to the point,
and the representative of the union
busters took a sneak.
This has considerable significance,
showing that the trouble between the
plumbers and the steamfitters is less
ening. The two organizations have
had many differences in the past, but
no longer will one branch CT the bust
ness "scab" on the other. In many
cities the craftsmen belong to the

STRUCTURAL lRoNWoRkERs.
Branch of Omaha Local Will Be
Formed in This City.

Owing to peculiar circumstances sur
rounding the trade in this vicinity the
Structural Ironworkers have decided
to form a branch of the Omaha local
here instead of instituting a separate
local. The reasons for this action are
so plain to the men themselves that
no difference of opinion exists. A
number of members of the craft who
have not heretofore been members of
the organization have been taken in.
There are two big structural iron
jobs now under way in Lincoln, the
new viaduct and the shops at Have
lock. The new stock pavilion at the
fair grounds may be counted another
big contract. These jobs will afford
employment to structural ironworkers
for the next eight or ten months.
