BRYAN MUZZLES
CITY employees
Mayor Of Lincoln Has Resolution
Passed Forbidding Them Taking
Troubles Into Court.
LEGALITY IS BEING QUESTIONED
CFrom a staff Correspcndentl


LINCOLN. Dec 15.--(Special )--Denied
the risht 10 appeal to the courts on pain
OF dismissal from their positions as
employees OF the city, members OF the
department of public safety and others
have been forced to keep their mouths
closed or so out into the cold world
without employment.
This Is the condition which faces en-
ployes OF all departments OF the public
service in Lincoln because of tho apod-
ton Of a resolution introduced by Mayor
Bryan which provides that any employee
OF the city who may have n grievance
against the city cannot appeal to the
courts to adjust his claim. for II he
does ne must forfeit his job.
Coming as 1t does from a source which
promulgated the slogan. Let the people
rule" il has caused considerable Of a
stir in this part of the state.
Refer to Consultation.
Friends Of some of the employees are
raising the question whether the com
mission can lawfully deprive its employees
of the right TO an appeal to the courts
by threats Of dismissal II they do. They
call attention TO the constitution OF the
state which in section 10 Of Artacle one
says:
"All courts shall be open, and every
person, for any injury done him. In his
lands, goods. person or reputation. shall
have a remedy by due course OF law,
and justice administered without deniat
or delay"
They insist that in passing an ordi-
nance or resolution which is intim-
idating the employees of the city and de-
priving them OF the right to appeal to
the courts on penalty of dismissal they
are infringing upon the rights OF every
American citizen and laying themselves
open to impeachment for vialation OF the
constitution as officials.
That the resolution should be drawn
by Mayor Bryan, introduced by him and
voted for by him. makes the case appear
all the more peculiar in the face of the
fact that the organs have been sup
posed to be for free speech and the
RICH; of every man to earn his dollar
without intimidation.

MT. Gompers made correspondence 4 with the Central Federate union of New York which made an inquiry regarding state ment attributed to MT. Gompers that officers of International union had received money to pull off strikes in Bridgeport and elsewhere in ammuni- ton factories
 T never mentioned International unions,'' wrote MT. Gompers. nor did I refer to amm munition factories What did say was that authentic in formation had come to. me that ef- forts had been made to corrupt men for the purpose of having strikes in- augurated among seamen and long, shoremen engaged in handling Amer icanl products and manning ships for European ports; that the corrupting influence was being conducted by agents of a foreign government and that had no doubt the same agen- cies and influences werc at work else where with the same purpose in view.
 We should all enter sympathetic protest and frown down upon any foreign interference. no matter by what motive actuated, particularly When that motive is ulterior and to the detriment of the good name. growth and permanence of our great cause. <,
