people in a proclamation issued by
Governor Shallenberger. The COVER

done for conservation and commends

ward that end. Following is the proc.
lamation:
In TIE conservation of the natural
resources of Nebraska. arboriculture Is
Of great importance. Nebraska is the
pioneer among all the states in setting
aside a day of general observance In
tree planting. With the return OF an.
other spring time comes the inspira.
ton to work with nature in all her
marvellous creations. No greater in.
heritance or more substantial gift can
be bestowed upon future generations
than to mark the landscape every.
where with groves and forests.
I'VE have reached the period In our
states development where the early
settler is building his home. and
otherwise improving his farm. from
timber planted upon the treeless
plains Turing the territorial days. The
law-making body Of this state has
wisely set apart one day each year as
a legal holiday for the planting OF
trees. In accordance with this provi
sion hereby proclaim.
Friday. April %. 1910. Arbor day
and I most earnestly urge all citizens
of Nebraska, and especially the school
children. to observe the day by plant.
ing trees on the school grounds along
the highways. about our churches and
homes. and in the parks. and that ap
propriate exercises be held during the
day by the educational institutions OF
the state.
In testimony whereof. I have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal Of the state OF

Roads Must Pay Cash for Ads.
Attorney General w. T. Thompsoa
has filed a brief in the supreme court
in which he maintains that railroad

cts or transportation for anything
other than money. that contracts for
advertising payable in transportation
are illegal. He asks that the restrain.
ing order issued in November. 1908. by
the supreme court against the Union
Pacific road be made perpetual.
In its answer the Union Pacific COM
rany admitted substantially all the
material allegations Of plaintiffs peti-
ton. except that the transportation
was free transportation and that the
same was issued without the approval
or consent Of the Nebraska state rail-
way commission, which facts were de-
MED. II was pleaded, by way of an
swer. that d. -endant issued certain
transportation T. parties, as named In
plaintiffs petition. i'll exchange for an
equal amount Of advertising in news
papers with whi'h said parties SO re-
ceiving transported N were connected:
that such transportation SO issued was
equal in value to the value of the ad.
vertising in the various newspapers
with which the parties receiving the
same were connected; that for the
transportation so issued defendant re-
ceived full money value based on the
rates provided by the laws Of the state
of Nebraska; and that the amount SO
paid for the said advertising in trans
portation was neither more nor less
than the value of such transportation
at the rate of two cents per mile. To
the answer thus filed the plaintiff in
terposed a reply. denying generally
each and every allegation of defend
ants answer which did not admit the
truth of the facts stated in plaintiffs
petition.
The attorney general sets forth the
states position as follows:
/. That a rate or charge for trans.
portation fixed and expressed in dol
lars or cents by a statute must be paid
and received in nothing else.
2. To hold that one class of people
may pay for transportation in adver.
Using or other service. another in COM
modities. and still others in money
would open the door to all forms OF
and favoritism which
the railway commission act is designed
to prohibit.
g. That to allow railway companies
to furnish transportation to editors
and publishers in consideration of ser.
vices performed at rates agreed upon.
and to require all others to pay in
is an unjust discrimination
prohibited by law.
4. That even though transportation
might be furnished for other than an
Paid in money. the rate
claimed to have been paid in adver.
Using was either greater or less than |
two cents q mile.
1t is respectfully submitted that the |
order heretofore granted in |
this case should be made perpetual.

! SIX DAYS OF LABOR
Unduly Long Hours 1njure Work
ers Physically an d Morally.

John Mitchell was one of the speak
ers at a recent meeting of the day oe
rest conference in, New oYrk. Mitchell
said in part:
Seven days work> in a week Is like
ten hours work in day. 1t can be de-
Tended only on grounds of selfishness
or ignorance. 7 believe ut true that
people who work unduly Nlong hours
are in state of CONTINUED oVerfatigue,
and when that exists men are veEY
likely to resort to unwise pleasures Or
to the saloon.
"Son1eg years ago, when was very
young, I was working in mine in
southern New Mexico where every ono
worked seven days in the week, and it
was really fact that a man who did
not drink was hardly considered fit
associate for the other men. Since that
time the miners have won the Satur.
day half holiday and no Sunday work.
and would like to tell our critics that
in many towns populated entirely by
miners they have voted the saloons
out.
"Worklngmen want more comforta-
BILE homes, pictures, music, books and
all that. They will be the last to want
puritanical Sunday, and they don't
want all amusement stopped. But
they do ask taht there shall be no.
more than six days work in one week.
And the unions have done more THAI
any other agency to bring this about"

WITHOUT
PAY FOR MAIL. MEN
To- ''save Money" Postmaster
General Hitchcock Issues
Order to Overwork
~ Letter Carriers.

Washington, June 9.-That the Post
office Department has determined to
make the letter. carriers of the United
States pay 100000 toward the up-keep
of the government has come to light
in IAN order prepared by Postmaster
General Hitchcock instructing post
masters that carriers may be kept in
service over eight hours in any given
day without claim for overtime pay.
That forty-eight hours a week still re-
mains theNlegal limit of work does not
protect the carriers from the club of
payless-overtf11e with which the de-
partment menaees them.
Chairman Weeks, of the post roads
committee, prepared the way for this
move. of Hitchcock's. as can be. seen
by the following statements made in
the house during the discussion of the
postoffice bill.
Asked by Austin, of Tennessee.
whether the bill carried sufficient ap
preparation SO that clerks would not
be compelled to work over eight hours
time, Finley, a member of the pos
roads committee, said:
Frankly, Mr.. Chairman, it does
not"
What reason is there continued
Austin, that the committee did not
provide for that?"
''The condition of the treasury"
came the stereotyped excuse.
But although the Pestoffice Depart
ment was preparing the bomb for the
carriers it did not touch the fuse un
til it could fortify itself with a court
decision. This fiat has just been given.
The decision Of the Court of Claims
was in the suit brought by one Van
DOren, a Washington carrier, to re.
cover pay for overtime, the case COM
ing to the attention of that tribunal
on May 10, 1909. A proviso in the ap-
preparation act of June 2, 1910, stipH-
lated that while carriers were to he
kept on duty as nearly as practicable
only eight hours day, this lime might
be exceeded provided itNNas not sn
excess. of six times eight hours in the
week. The Court of Claims hold IN
it's decision that this clause in the act
of 1900 was permanent in it's applica-
ton and did not go out of force with
the end of the time to which the ap-
preparation applied.
As the number of letter carriers It
free delivery officers is over 10000 and
this order of Hithcock's threatens no:
only the carriers, but, Indirectly all
other postoffice employees, it follows
that the union postal clerks will put
up the fight of their lives against It's
enforcement.
Letter carriers assert that the bur
den of this Saving will fall upon the
public and the carriers jointly. The
work of substitutes will be curtaile
and the regular carrier forced to do
double duty In this manner will half
a million dollars be "commandered"
for the uses of the administration.

1t is now almost assured that Mayor
seidel of Milwaukee will be here some
Sunday in July. Replying to a request
of the Wheeling members. Mayor
Seidel stated that he would be glad
to come on a Sunday, whenever his
work would permit him to absent HIM
self. from the city. He believes that
ne Is working for Milwaukee, and that
the city is entitled to six days york
per week. He has refused to lecture
outside of Milwaukee. even though
offered $3.50 per night. The wheeling
local wrote him to select the date
which suited him best. If the meeting
is held It will likely be an outdoor
event, in a local park. and in the ma.
lure of tri-state gathering of Social,
ISIS and progressiveists generally.

and it was rumored that the firm in

the attempts to wreck the Wheeling
union, that no other course was left
to the union members, in their own
se1f-defense. It is known that before

perhaps give the upper hand to the
socialists in the larger cities. and in
many of the rural districts having s

that the matter be postponed in orde"
to give it another thorough investiga

declared that Arctander's speech could
