New York, Jan. l5.-A new phase
of the threatened strike of the Base
Ball Players Fraternity developed
here late today, when it was learned
that Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor,
and President David L. Fultz of the
players organization had been in con-
ference relative to the proposed ac-
tion of the fraternity members in re-
fusing to sign 1917 base ball contracts
until such time as the minor league
magnates should grant requests made
by the players.
When asked if the fraternity was
member of the American Fedora
ton o fLabor, Gompers replied: Not
yet, but soon, | expect. While the
players organization is not affiliated
with US, yet | am in full sympathy
with their requests and actions and
they have my moral support. I am
deeply interested in the welfare OF
the ball players and they will have
my support in any action that they
may see fit to take in order to better
existing conditions"
President B. B. Johnson of the
American league arrived late today
from Chicago. He said he had come
to attend the meeting of the schedule
committees. Johnson said he did not
care to talk about the players pro-
posed strike, but that if it material
lied the American league had enough
players under contract to start the
season. and that others would be Sc
cured to fill any vacancies that might
exist.
Owners Are Prepared.
81 do not think" he said, that the
players of the major leagues will
carry their contentious so far as to
strike, but if they do, we will be pre-
pared to meet the emergency and will
go right on playing ball as usual
am OF the opinion that if the major
leagues do strike it will be a violation
OF the agreement made with the fra
ternity at Cincinnati several years
ago, and such action will virtually
cancel the compact and absoIve the
club owners from the terms of that
agreement"
Johnson also said that he was not
in favor of the plan to divide the pro-
ceeds of the players share of the
worlds series money among any ex-
cept the competing club players. ITO
the victors belong the spoils," he
added.

BUILDERS MAY REVOLT

Lathers in Omaha demand in
creased pay beginning February IS.
A letter has gone out to the building
contractors of Omaha from Secretary
Marvin F. Marks of local No 1856 OF
the Wood, Wire and Metal Lathers'
international union. The letter does
not beat around the bush 1t merely
states the following:
Beginning February IS, 1917, and
continuing until January |, 1918, a
new scale OF wages for lathers will be
effective. The present rate of O.
cents per hour will be increased to
20 cents. The rate for foremen will
be increased from Is cents to 821a
cents per hour All overtime will be
double time"
That is a rather blunt notice, to
say the least" said one contractor on
reading the letter.
Builders May Balk.
Il suppose we have nothing to say
about what we pay these men," said
another. There has been no con-
ference and we have not been asked
to grant any increase. But here we
get a notice served on us that after
a certain date we are going to pay
certain wages
Another said: This letter says
after certain date new and higher
scale will be in effect. ! very much
doubt whether the contractors will
pay it"
Y. Ray Gould, president OF the
Omaha Builders exchange, said;
This will not really affect the gen.
cral contractors very much directly
1t is matter to be handled wholly
by the plastering contractors. ]
doubt if the Builders exchange will
take the matter up officially, as | un-
derstand the letters were not sent to
the exchange as an organization, but
we're sent to all the contractors indi-
vidually.

DOUGLAS COUNTY
IS DEEP IN DEBT
Dewey's Report Shows Defi-
cheney Because of Expense
of Tax Collections.
WATER BOARD EVADES

County Comptroller Dewey's re-
port to the commissioners on the ex-
penditures in the treasurer's Office for
the last year shows that the county
is behind just $4,000 by reason of
assuming to pay for all expenses Of
collecting the taxes of the school dis
trict, water board, city and country.
The general fund is short that amount
on account of per cent expense
for collection not being allowed from
all the different funds, according to
Mr.. Dewey. The school board and
the water board do not pay anything.
Mr.. Dewey says that if the county
hopes to split even in this phase of
the expenses, an average OF per cent
should be collected from each of the
funds.
Question of Fees.
The fee collected under the general
plan throughout the state is 2 per
cent and fraction from all municipali-
ties. Omaha is the only exception to
this plan, Mr. Dewey said, adding
that in his opinion Legislation should
be put through to allow per cent
from all funds collected by the treas
urers Office
THE total expenses of the treasur-
er's office last year were $71 ,288. %"
he pointed out. Il believe the city
should have paid one-half of this
amount. As it was, with the Water
board and School board contributing
nothing, the city's payment was only

ally unfit just at the age when they
should be the most fit. This does not
indicate material progress N the pre-
vention OF disease. Wonders have
been accomplished In subduing Sepi-
denies, but chronic slow developing
physical and mental diseases are more
prevalent than ever before
The rapid development Of surgery
Is an open confession of the failure
of internal medication.
Surgery has developed because Of
the failure fo other methods 20 cure
the conditions before it has reached
the stage where operation Is the only
apparent chance of recovery. The
tendency of the times is more and
more away from giving. Up-to-dzte
physicians give very little drugs
Osteopathy has gone one step far
ther, declaring that drugs, given in
ternalIy, are unnecessary, that mar
tialing natures own forces within the
body and putting them to work is all
that is necessary to keep health or
regain IT when lost. Every protection
agency necessary to life and health
Is secreted within the body itself
where the functioning organs have
their normal nerve and blood supply.

WHAT
At DOES OSTEOPATHY
TREAT


Most people seem to think that Os-
teopathy Is some form of rubbing for
stiff joints, or poor circulation IN old
people, and some forms Of rheuma-
tism in younger people
They never associate Osteopathic
treatment with sick people, and
would not think Of sending for an
OsteOpath for a little child with a
raging fever or cholera infantum. If
some one should mention sending
for an Osteopath for a case Of ty-
phoid fever or pneumonia he would
be thought insane.
Here are some of the questions
people ask the Osteopathic physician,
not because they are much interested
but because they are curious to hear
what he will say:
''Do you take confinement cases?
Do you treat fevers?
Can you set broken bones?
How could you when the joints
are so tender treat inf1amatory rheu-
r1atism?
How long do you attend school?
Dou you study SURGERY
Can you cure q cold?
Do you believe in germs?"
The above questions are rather
absurd in the face of the fact that
Osteopaths must pass the state medi-
cal board examination before they
can obtain license to practice.
These questions, with numberless
others, would be humorous to the Os-
teopath If it did not indicate the al
most tragic ignorance of the public
as to what true Osteopathy is.
The greatest contributing cause.
OF the lack of understanding regard
ing OsteOpathy Is the immense num-
Der OF Quacks and imitators, recently
given state licences to pratice without
passing any examination by a licensed
medical board These imitators, who
laud themselves as better than Osteo-
paths, have as they move from place
to place, left great numbers, of dis
appointed customers IN their wake.
These people think they have tried
osteopathy. The collosal ignorance
intelligent people have found in
these quacks, has been considered
characteristic Of ostopathy, since
their advent; especially In commun-
tiles where osteopathy was not known !
before.
The question occurs to thinking
people: why does Osteopathy exist? |
What is the reason for its existence |
IN the face 70 the great strides of the |
drug profession2" These same peo-
pie will note that the progress ofmedi- |
cal science has been along the lines |
OF surgery and knowledge of the di- |
sease aftr 1t exists; not IN the cause |
and prevention of disease.

emption boards have exempted an ap-
