The real issue in Omaha's present labor strike is:
Shall Omaha remain an "open shop town Or shall it
become in every trade closed shop town?

is to make Omaha "cesed union town." That meant

BEGINNING OF NEW INDUSTRY
American VIII Establish Plants In

From Bananas.

An American has just secured con-
cession from the government Of Hon
duras which is expected to be profit
able to him and the government. The
concession Is for the manufacture Of
alcohol, which Is government monOp-
oily. There have been great losses to
banana planters In the past because
many of the punches did not contain
a sufficient number Of "hands" to be
marketable, and have been thrown
away. 1t Is from this waste product
that the American, who has had expe-
rience In the industry, intends to make
alcohol. He has deposited $25, 900 with
the government as an evidence Of good
faith, and this is to be credited toward
the export duties of three cents gal.
Ion. He must also pay $1,000 a year
for the salaries Of government inspec'
tors and must begin operations within
year. His agreement provides that
he shall take all the bananas offered
up to 100000 punches monthly. He
has also secured the right TO build O
sugar and paper mill near the distil
lery. His plan is to aid planters in
restoring worn-out banana lands fol
the raising Of sugarcane, to make sug
ar. dlstill alcohol from the refuse and
make paper from the bagasse, the fiber
of the cane.

Steps are being taken to rehabllitate
coffee growing among the Marano Mo-
ros Of Lanao, Philippine Islands. Cof-
fee at one time was exported in con-
siderable quantities from the Lanao
region, but owing to tribal wars and
armed resistance against the authori.
ties, the industry practically dlsap-
peared. A nursery has been estab-
lished with more. than 100000 seed
lings. A considerable part of the farm
is to be planted to coffee, and the Moro
farmers are to be supplied free Of
charge with healthy young trees grown
from selected seed. Recently $4,000
young seedlings have been furnished
the colonists at the American colony
Of Momungan, and there is every rea-
son to believe that coffee raising will
be profitable.

following: American ports are better
suited by nature to handle the largest
liners than any Of the old-world ports ;
Boston has the most expensive, as well
as the largest, pier in the United
States, IL not in the world, and will
soon have the largest dry dock in the

GOLDEN PERIOD COMES BACK
Prosperity Of New England Fleet RI
vale the Best Days 81 the Old
Square Riosers.

+. The war In Europe, which wrought
such dreadful havoc In so many other
directions, awakened these drowsy
ports and called these waiting fleets
to hoist anchor, Ralph D.. Paine writes
In Scribner's. A few months and al
most all the great five and six mast
ers had vanished from the coast.
Then the smaller schoOners were
snapped up for this golden offshore
trade and those that remained at home
found a wonderful harvest because Of
the scarcity Of domestic tonnage.
1t was like fairy tale of commerce,
and somehow more wholesomely graft
flying than the fevered activity Of mu-
milton stocks In Wall street with their
imitation and jobbery. These fine ships
deserved to live, and those who owned
them had been steadfast In fair wealth
er and foul. For example, there was the
six master e. B. Winslow, which had
been carrying coal from Norfolk to
Portland, and she Is one of scores

cling. She was chartered for Rio with
5000 tons Of coal beneath her matches
and came home laden with manganese
ore after a voyage Of seven months.
Her owners received $l8O.OOO In freight
money, or considerably more than the
cost Of building her, and $12,O OO'Of this
was net profit to be distributed as div
dends.
It soon became commonplace infOr-
nation to hear that q schooner had
paid for herself In one voyage offshore.
Those who preferred to sell instead of
charter also enjoyed sort OF Arabian
Nights come true. There was the re-
tired skipper of Portland who reckless
ly bought an old vessel two years ago
for $4,000, tremendous speculation
which absorbed all he had thriftlly
tucked away In lifetime at sea, and
strained his credit besides. In two
voyages this sturdy coaster put $780, 600
In his pocket, after which he sold her
for 100000 and dared to indulge In
the long-desired luxury Of navigating
his own cabin catboat.
