OMAHA, Dec. 2s.-To the Editor of The
Bee: 1 have just returned to the city
council Document No s162 OF December
2s. 1915 communication from the
Greater Omaha Labor Forward Move
ment. transmitting a copy of resolu-
ton heretofore adopted by that body, and
signed by Leonard Craig. ]. ]. Rogers,
David Coutts and r. B. Donahue. COM
nittee, and A. c. Fenters, secretary, and
Karl A. Krumm, vice president. After a
thorough investigation and careful ex-
animation of said communication, find
that the commissioners Of the City OF
Omaha guilty OF ''promulgating an order
compelling prisoners OF the city jail to
work upon the streets without compensa-
ton other than prison fare" as stated
In the communication herewith returned;
but do not believe that 1t Is an in
fringement upon the rights or a con-
fiscation of the property Of these unfor-
Inmates, for the reason that this class of
people. as a rule. will not work under
any circumstances, for II they did they
would not be in our city jail. This COM
munication further states And, whereas,
the placing of these prisoners to work
upon the streets will at once deprive a
number of citizens of the means OF nveli-
hood by Wrestling fro mthem the oppor-
tunity to follow their regular occupation,
thereby causing distress to them and
those dependent upon them" have
this to say. that this statement is mis-
conception of the intentions Of the city
commission. The city commissions idea
In placing these people TO work is not
In competition with labor In any way,
shape or form. It Is a class Of labor
that would not be done under any cir
cumstances; II is only an excuse to keep
this particular class Of labor busy, and
to place q sign whereby this particular
class is notified. should they come into
the city Of Omaha they must pay for their
keep and not lie in the city Jail to be
kept warm and we'll fed, but that they
must earn their living by the sweat OF
their brow. and face the cold and stormy
weather in order to get a living. the same
as any honest workingman who is out
earning money to provide the necessaries
of life for his family. and by this
method, II will not throw out the par
ticular people that would enjoy this
work. because II these prisoners did
not perform this kind OF work. this
work would not be In the markets;
therefore, there is no argument.
and the protest filed by the aforesaid
signers does not cover this prison prob
lem, as the commission sees 1t. and they
would hesitate and emphatieally object
TO calling an honest workingman who
tries 10 be a straightforward, upright
citizen a hobo. a bum. sneakthief. OF
a dope fiend. which Is the component part
Of the nrtaon labor that the city officials
are endeavoring to find employment for
at this particular time. and believe that
Il is an insult 10 the lsborins men to
compare this kind of labor with honest
labor.
would recommend that a copy OF this
report be forwarded by the city clerk TO
the aforesaid fraternity for their perusal.

Complimsnting Treasurer Hall.

Apologlsts for the Morehead administration
OF state affairs again belaboring State Treas
urer Hall because of his firm stand in protecting
the treasury against democratic raids. He is
now accused OF having received republican sup
port and taken republican advice. What truth
may be in these allegations cannot be determined.
State Treasurer Hall is not a republican. but in
standing firmly for the constitution and the laws
OF the state OF Nebraska, he has acted like re-
publican. His democratic critics could pay him
no greater compliment than they have done in
their desperation. II is little credit to the lead
of that party that the state is crippled or en-
barrassed In any of its administrative functions
through the incompetency of their party In the
legislature or the executive office. Attempts to
make scaoegoat Of the state treasurer will not
relieve Governor Morehead OF the blame that at
taches to his personal endeavor to induce Mr..
Hall to violate a law which the governor him
self had helped TO enact. Nor can the leaders OF
the legislature. who muddled the appropriation
bills. escape the blame that belongs to them, by
throwing mud at the man who is observing the
laws according to his conscience and his oath OF
office

A MONG the coats displayed for wear
"a in the depths of winter there is
nothing handsomer than those of
black, or very dark brown, furcloths
which initiate so closely the natural
skins after which they are called.
Next to fur they are the warmest of
garments. The new fur-cloth is not
bulky but possesses the sort of weay-
ing that makes for comfort Lined
with silk and snugly adjusted to the
figure about the shoulders, neck and
chest, the fur-cloth coat adapts itself
to all degrees of winter weather.
Not being heavy or bulky, coats of
this fabric unlike fur, are not too
heavy for moderately cold weather.
And when the thermometer plays hide
and seek above or below the zero
mark the pliable fur-cloth garment al

treme cold Knitted vests and jack

compared to fur coats) the popularity
of fur-cloth is easily understood.
One of the newest models is pic
tured in the handsome garment shown
here The full rufiied skirt and
straighthanging lines, with ample
width around the bottom, place the
design in the front row of novel
ideas in coats. There are not two
opinions as to the style and beauty
of this striking wrap, which, by the
way, is an American production.
Occasionally one finds a sentiment

A PRETTY and simple afternoon
n dress Of taffeta silk which will
commend itself to the women who
likes an odd style is shown in the
picture given here. 1t manages to be
very unusual without being bizarre,
and very noticeable without losing re-
fnement.
The model, in its outlines, suggests
nothing so much as the silhouette of a
Japanese lady. This is a very clever
management of modes of the present,
and the West, into a sembance of
those of the Orient The gown is es-
pecially adapted to small and youth
full figures-if they be prettily curved.
1t Is not dress for the angular young
girl.
A changeable taffeta should be
chosen for O dreso Of this kind, since
the trimming is Of the same material
as the gown The two-color effects
and the play of light in changeable
silks is a substitute for decorations.
Instead of embroidery or braid, or
other applied trimmings, ruchings,
made of full box plaitings of narrow
strips of silk. are wonderfully effec-
tive. And there is no silk quite so well
adapted to making ruchings as taft
feta.
The composition of the gown is so
simple and so plainly set forth in the
picture that it hardly needs descrip-
ton. The wide girdle swathing the
