Industries for Omaha.

Omaha, Oct. 23.-To the Editor of
The Bee: AS result of the decisions
in recent popular contest it might
seem that there are fourteen kinds of
new industries which would be par
ticularly successful in Omaha. Now 1t
is to be hoped that no one has gotten
the impression that any other kinds
would have less advantage or that
these fourteen would have all the ad-
vantage accredited them. because that
would not be true. And of course we
want only those which can and will
prove successful. 40
The would-be investors and the
manufacturers who are seeking a
change of location want pertinent
facts. They want the assurance of
specific profits rather than the knowl-
edge Of general opportunity. Their
attention may be attracted by the op-
portunity, but only essential facts will
obtain their interest and favorable de-
cision, and these facts may be
summed up about as follows:
The factories which will most
readily succeed in Omaha are those
which use hides to tan leather for

Wilson and the Workers.

Omaha, Oct. 28.-To the Editor of
The Bee: Slightly over seven years
ago Woodrow Wilson, then president
of Princeton university, said the fol-
lowing in the course of bacca-
laureate address:
you know what the usual standard
of the employe is in our day. 1t Is to
give as little as he may for his wages.
Labor is standardized by the trades
union, and this is the standard to
which 1t Is made to conform. In some
trades and handicrafts no one is suf-
fered to do more than the least skill
full of his fellows can do within the
hours allowed to a days labor, and no
one can work out Of hours at all Or
volunteer anything beyond the mini
mum.
II need not point out how economi-
cally disastrous such a regulation of
labor is. 1t is SO Improbable to the
employer that in some trades it will
presently not be worth his while to at
tempt anything at all. He had better
stop altogether than to operate at an
inevitable and invariable loss. The
labor of America is rapidly becoming
Improbable under Its present reg
ulation by those who have determined
to reduce 1t to minimum. Our
economic supremacy may be lost be-
cause the country grows more and
more full of Improbable servants
A typical dissertation on 1.-The closed
shop" by college PRESIDENT Has Mr..
Wilson changed his mind since then?
If SO, why?
should like to suggest that it be
made the basis of democratic edi-
torial entitled: why the Workers
Should Be for Woodrow" Also, that
1t be pondered on long and deeply
by Sammie Gompers and lesser union
officials who are trying to steer union
labor into the democratic camp.

 Although those drowned were mem bers of party which had been warned, they steadfastly refused to leave the threatened district. At three o'clock this morning, the water came up suddenly, changing the course of the river and completely town.
 When the water came up, the eighteen realized their predicament, and made frantic signals for help. A teamster named Adams, volm- teered to go over after them in his transfer wagon. The trip across was made in good shape, and the entire party got into the wagon for the return trip. In the middle of the stream, the horses lost their foot ing and went down underneath the surge of waters. They were drowned but the wagon remained upright.
 In an effort to save those stranded in the middle of the stream. Cate heroically volunteered to swim out with rope. He gained the wagon in good shape. The rope was tied to the wagon, and men and women both started for land, hanging onto the rope Quite number managed to leave the wagon and get to shore in good shape but as the wagon was emptied, it became too light to withstand the onrushing waters.
 When there were only the four who were drowned left in the wagon it overturned and threw them into the water. Frantic efforts were made to save the unfortunate ones, but al attempts were unsuccessful. They al went down fighting against the water The last seen of them, they were be- ing carried down the river at a higf rate of speed The body of Heller Smith was recovered. The other three bodies have not been located.
 Tn addition to those known to have been drowned, it is the concensus O. opinion that many more have sue cumbed to the flood It has beer definitely established that Dan Price a local man is missing, but whether he has been drowned is not known.

The ereek has of course, cut communi cation by motor car, for the state highway south of Higley is of such material that water renders it most loving toward tires, even though they be covered with chains.
 encouraging At the time the engi- neers visited the place, there was a flood of 6.2 feet of water curling over the dam. This was at three o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 T think the project has escaped re- markedly well, considering the size of the flood" said the project manager. "The road to Roosevelt is, I believe, the most seriously damaged. The Fish Creek bridge has been weakened, but is still spanning the stream. In the canyon below the dam, the roadway is under several feet of water, and it will be impossible to tell how badly it is washed out until the flood subsidies
 communication between Fish creek and the dam must be by means of horses, via the old mountain trails, for some days, maybe weeks"
