Garment Workers
Come to Omaha
in Search of Aid
Striking Women from St. Louis Call
Upon Local Labor Leaders
for Help.

On tour Of the country soliciting funds
for the striking girl garment makers of ST.
Louis. Misses Fannie Sellins and Katherine
Hurley arrived in Omaha Wednesday. The
young women are reported to have met
with remarkable success in other cities,
the results of their work being a fund
which has supported the 800 young women
who are locked out from their work in the
St. Louis garment factories.
The emssaries report that their union
has been engaged in the strike since the
lockout eight months ago. They further
explained that besides raising funds for
the union, they are conducting a campaign
against the use of garments made in nom
union, unssnitary shops. Their system is,
according to the proud story they told to-
day, to visit the merchants in the cities
through which they pass, ahead Of the
salesman, and persuade the merchants to
beware of the goods the statesmen will
later attempt to sell them.
The young women visited the Central
Labor Union officials Wednesday and ar
ranged for assistance in their efforts.

Brewery Suit
Goes by Board
Petition for Injunction Against the
Union Dismissed by Plaintiff
at His Cost.

Another labor trouble besides that of the
coHrt house has been ended, the suit for
an injunction of Fred Whited against the
Brewery Workers union having been dis
missed in district court. Whited some
time ago asked an injunction against
local No. 9S OF the international Union
of the United Brewery Workers of Amer
lea and its officers. He asserted that he
had been prosecuted for several years as
an employee of the Storz company and that
he was stll BEING prosecuted as an en-
pIoye of Charles Storz. a member of the
family, who is a retailer and selling
agent.
The case was argued orally before Judge
sutton and no decision given because
written briefs were to be submitted These
were never filed and the next action was
the dismissal of the case by plaintiffs
attorneys, who are also attorneys for the
Business Mems association. at costs of
plaintiff.
Whited had in the meantime secured
another position and this left him with
out standing in a court of equity, for he
could not be suing for something he did
not want.

completely hushed up.
The man is declared to have swallowed
twelve or thirteen morphine pills at his
residence, go South Thirtieth street
Omaha, and although this Is a lethal dose
relief measures were administered so
promptly that the man was able to re
cover.
The circumstances of the arrest were
unusual The live stock company has
been watching the invalid carefully and,
learning McCrea was likely to be dis
charged from the hospital Wednesday as
cured, had a warrant sworn out In county
court through its attorney, Alvin f. John
son, e. S. Westbrook Of the company
signing the complaint.
The warrant was then given to Deputy
Sheriff Ira Flanagan to serve. Mr.. Flana-
gan went to the hospital at $50, but il was
two hours and one-half before he was able
to move his man to the Jail. The hospital
authorities asked that the patients physi-
clan, DR.. Lee Van Camp, be consulted be-
fore McCrea was taken away.
In the meantime friends Of McCrea, who
is a member of a prominent and influential
! fraternal organization, were in negotiation
with McCrea's employers seeking TO set
tie the case, and Dr. Van Camp, learning
| OF this, did not hurry to the hospital, so
/ that time might be gained for the negotia-
| tions But at noon he went to see his
patient and gave his consent to McCrcas
removal to jail.
! Both the Omaha Live Stock Commission
company and the hospitai we're exceedingly
close mouthed about the whole affair and
the story that McCrea was in the hospital
! because of his suicidal attempt was diff
ficult to substantiate That ths happened
is admitted nevertheless by the physician
No report of the mans presence in the hos
| pital was made to the police by the hos
| pital.
Negotiations between McCreas friends
and the commission company, extended
| through the afternoon. The company is
said to be more eager to get the $50 it as
serts is due 1t than to prosecute.

WOMAN AS INSANE
Says He H~ornswoggled Police
Into Carting Her OFF to

Because the owner of the fiat in
which she lived is said to have been
unable to find any pretext upon which
to eject her, 1t is charged that Mrs.
Alice johnson, 40 years old, was taken
bodily from her home at 9 Mt. Pleasant
avenue and was railroaded by the po-
lice to the City Hospital upon the
charge thai she was insane. Three
hours later the woman was released,
when the hospital doctors decided thai
she was mentally sound. Her neighbors
are SO indignant over the alleged out
rage that one of them, Mrs. Louis u.
Rowland, declares she will furnish the
none necessary to prosecute the per
sons responsible for the act.
Mrs. johnson lives in a house owned
by Charles w. Graves, a lawyer. Cap
tain John e. Brown, of the Second
Precinct, said today that Graves told
him the woman had gone suddenly in
sane and had barricaded herself in her
apartments.

that he gave the man a certificate orr

Armed with this, Patrolmen McMinn
and Anderson were sent to the house.
The apartment doors were nailed up,
but the policemen thought they had
sufficient authority to break one down.
Then they carried the resisting woman
to the hospital.
There the police surgeon n the
hospital physicians examined her and
found her perfectly ane. She Val re-
leased on DR.. Clark's order n went
back to her home.
She said today hat she would make
the responsible parties suffer, and the
neighbors declared that they would
stand behind her in any suit b
brought.
Graves could not be found to give
his side OF the case.
