MANY WITNESSES
IN STRIKE HEARING
Thirty More Subpoenaed by
State; Three Cornered
Fight On Before Judge
Leslie.

Thirty witnesses were subpoenaed
by the state on the second day Of
the strike injunction hearing before
Judge Leslie, sitting in equity court,
in which the three sides--the at
torney generals forces, the Business
Mems association and Omaha unions
--are represented by batteries of law
yers. Twenty-three witnesses were
subpoenaed the first day.
Attorney General Reed, represented

Norris Brown and M. ID. Vinsonhaler,
asks permanent injunction against
Omaha employers and the labor or
CARNATIONS. 1t is the final chapter in
the litigation arising out of the strike
troubles in Omaha last spring.
Practically all the witnesses testified
in the same vein as they did at the
hearing several months ago before
the state board of mediation. The
bulk of the witness now were non
union teamsters who testified to acts
of violence on Omaha streets when
the strike was at its height.
The state will subpoena more than
fifty more witnesses before the hear
ing is over. 1t was first believed the
hearing for permanent injunction
would last at least month, but at
torneys now have hopes of winding
up the case within the next two

GOVERNMENT PLAN
BRINGS OUT WHEAT
Mills Now Running Full Time
as Farmers Release Wheat
Being Held for Higher
Prices.

National Food Administration
Agent Neal is we'll satisfied with the
marketing of wheat under the price
fixing plan inaugurated by the gov
ernment and expresses the opinion
that from now on farmers throughout
Nebraska are going to- come to the
front and nobly help in doing their
bit to feed the country.
Mr.. Neal says that within the last
two weeks there has been most
pronounced loosening up of wheat
held in first hands in anticipation of
higher prices, which he adds, can
never come. Advices to Mr.. Neal
are to the effect that out in the state,
up in South Dakota and in Kansas,
large quantities of wheat are being
sold direct to the millers and that
generally their immediate demands
are being Supplied from wheat raised
in local territory. This action upon
the part of the farmers has relieved
the situation materially in such mill
ing centers as Omaha.
Supply Local Mills.
As a result OF farmers supplying
the local mills with wheat it has left
goodly supply to be turned over to
the mills at the big -four manufactur-
ing centers and again most of the
big plants are running full time.
Considering the demand for wheat
by the mills in Omaha trade terntory,
the receipts here are quite satisfac-
tory and Mr.. Neal is Of the opinion
that they will continue to increase as
farmers and others who are carrying
large stocks realize that prices are
to be any higher than at the pres
emf time

GERING TANGLE IS
STRENGTHENED OUT
Stenographer Makes Error in
Putting Names in Wrong
Column on Slip Fur
nished by Board.

Delegates from Scottsbluff county,
including Judge r. w. Hobart OF the
Seventeenth judicial district and DIR.
L. R. Jones OF the local draft board,
who conferred with the First district
appeal board of Nebraska in Omaha
Tuesday, left for home, satisfied that
merely clerical error accounted for
the apparent discrimination among
men drafted from Scottsbluff.
Members of the district board ex-
planned how, small error on the
part of girl stenographer, sent in
as volunteer help for a day by some
business firm. caused near-riots and
trouble galore for the vicinity OF
Scottsbluff.
Volunteer Help.
The district board at the time Of
the mistake had been depending on
volunteer help sent in from business
men who loaned their stenographers
and bookkeepers for day to help
the board. There was no one person
who looked after the matter of re-
cording these facts and as a conse-
quence the confusion came about.
A girl recorder, who did not under
stand and did not realize the great
seriousness of the matter, recorded
all the names on one sheet OF the
reports from Scottsbluff in the
wrong column.
Thus men who had been exempted
were recorded as mot discharged or
exempted" and the names sent back
to Scottsbluff with this report.
Tuesday the delegates from Scots
bluff and the district board took all
the papers pertaining to Scottsbluff
and went over them thoroughly. In
a short time the error was spotted
and it took only FIVE minutes after
that to clear the a tmosphere, al
though before there had been Bit
ter feeling and charges of gross
unfairness against the astonished
members of the district board, who
had tried to be fair to all, so they
said. - N-
Go Home Satisfied.
The Scottsbluff men went home
satisfied and the board, somewhat
nervous after the strain of the last
two days, was preparing to continue
its work as usual, with the utmost
caution to be exercised in the fu-
ture.
p "As to the charge that we ex-
empted rich man." said one member
of the district board, I'VE are trying
to show no favors. The board is
going on the idea that ii man has
a wife and family he should not be
drafted when there lare single men
10 take his place.
These men sent in affidavits that
they had wives and families depend
ent on them. We did not 60 to
Scottsbluff to investigate them. We
are taking the stand that the Ameri-
can people are not lars
"And we do not think a rich man
with family should be compelled to
go because he is rich necessarily.
We believe in being fair to the rich
1men, too, as we'll as to the poor
ones. That would be showing class
distinction to compel a man to go
because he is rich He may be as
vitality necessary to his family as a
poor man."
