FEELS
THAT STRIKE
IS ALL OVER
Employers Are to Take Back
All the Men Who Desire to
Return to the Places
They Left.

Attorney General Reed went to his
home in Lincoln last night, feeling
that the labor troubles here are at an
end and that within the next day, or
two, or as soon as conditions can
right themselves, all of the old men
who desire to do so, will be back on
their old jobs. The mediation board
after brief meeting, adjourned until
Friday at 10 a. ii.
Prior to leaving town Attorney
General Reed had a conference with
the employers OF labor and whose
men have been out on a strike. He
was informed that all OF the old en-
ployes who remained loyal, will be
retained. In a good many instances,
men who have been taken on since
the beginning of the strike, will be
retained, provided they measure up
to the jobs.
The attorney general aserts that
there is SO much work in sight that
there will be plenty for all who are
seeking employment.
Injunction Covers Wage Question.
As to the injunction, it is so broad
and its scope covers so many features
of the labor problem, that the attor-
ney general believes il will have much
TO do with the regulation OF the wage
question. Under-payment of men,
would be violation OF its provisions
and therefore. according to the attor-
ney general, employers and employees
do not need to enter any controversy
over wages.
The attorney general did not care
TO discuss the mediation board, os
its action, simply saying that with the
strike OF the teamsters and other
trades, there could not be anything to
mediate.
1t is. expected that this morning, all
lines OF work affected by the strike
will start up and the building cam
paign will be resumed and pushed
along as rapidly as possible.
No Need of Hearing.
"The hearing before Judge Leslie
never will be held. for the contro-
versy will be settled long before June
27,' said the attorney general.
The State Board of Mediation and
Investigation yesterday was told by
Attorney General Reed through Dun
can M. Ninsonhaler that to continue
the strike investigation at the present
time would embarrass the attorney
general.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
IN NEBRASKAG GAIN
DURING THE YEAR
State Convention Receives
Greetings From Iowa and
Then Members Listen to
Reports of Officers.

The time of the afternoon session
of the convention of the Nebraska
State Sunday School association was
given over largely to the reports OF
officers, in which was detailed the
work accomplished during the year
just about to close, they showing that
there had been gains in attendance
and financial receipts.
The session opened with the au.
dieiice singing "If Your Heart Keeps
Right" followed by Brighten the
Corner Where You Are" after which
Rev. Charles E. Cobbey, pastor Of the
First Christian church, Omaha, con-
Quoted the devotional exercises, speak.
ing briefly on Arise and Jehovah Will
Be With You"
Marion Lawrence, Chicago, was
called to preside and Rev. L. J. Lang,
pastor of the First Evangelical asso-
ciation and second vice president OF
the Iowa State Sunday School asso-
ciatlon, now in session in Council
Bluffs, was introduced. He brought
greetings from the Sunday school
workers of Iowa and his remarks
were loudly applauded.
The reports of L. C. Oberlies, Lin
coin, treasurer; w. H. Kimberly, bust
ness manager, and Rev. Dan c.
Troxel, chairman of the executive
committee, had TO do with finances
and figures. These reports showed 4
balance of $86,7l on hand July, 1916,
and $264.23 at this time. During the
year the receipts were $7,623.52 and
the disbursements %,56799. How
ever, there is all outstanding debt of
$l,139.58, handed down from a num-
Der OF years ago, when the associa-
ton was having something of strug-
gle in order to exist. This debt is be-
ing reduced each year and the hope is
that it will not be long until it is
wiped out.
Teachers in Training School.
Nellie c. Kimberly reported 167
teachers in the training school and
1873 students during the year, 285
having been graduated. On account
OF a number of the counties having
failed to hand in reports, she was un-
able to give the number of schools
in the state or the total number OF
Sunday school scholars.
During the year Miss Kimberly
wrote 3,52 personal letters having to
do with the Sunday school work,
handled 4,868 packages, amiled 6,437
leaflets and sent out 50,548 circular
letters.
The report of Margaret Ellen
Brown, general secretary, showed
that during the year she spent 1875
days i'll ninety-hve conventions within
the state, visited l,165 Sunday
schools, talked to over 100000 chill
dren, delivered SAC addresses and did
vast amount of work i'll connection
with the dry campaign. She attributed
the success of the prohibition move
melt largely to the Sunday school
workers and the children in the
schools.
Reporting on Sunday schools, Miss
Brown said the largest in the state is
the Methodist of Lincoln, with an en-
rollment Of l,245, and the largest era
die roll is in Falls City, where there
are 225 Of the little people.

Big DRIVE FOR

Omaha Citizens Requested to
Assist in Filling Quota for
District of Nebraska and
Western Iowa.

The quota for the Omaha recruit
ing district, which comprises all o.
Nebraska and the western half o.
Iowa, with population OF 2,405,000
is 4SlO. Up to and including June IS
4,ll6 men were enlisted for the regu,
lar army from this district.
Captain James F. Mckinley Of the
cavalry, in charge of recruiting, plans
to make big drive in Omaha Satur-
day i'll compliance with request
from the War department.
The following statement by the
secretary of war has been sent to
all recruiting officers:
The cavalry, engineers, coast ar
tillery, signal corps AMI quartermas-
ter corps of the regular army have
already been brought to war strength.
Forty-hve thousand recruits are
needed at once TO complete the new
regiments of infantry and field artil-
lery. Twenty-Five thousand addi-
tional recruits are desired at the
earliest practicable date TO fill vacan-
ces in order that the war strength
OF 100000 men may be maintained.
Citizens Asked to Help.
Facilities are in readiness for plac-
ing these 10000 men under proper
training. Any delay in obtaining this
number will necessarily cause the loss
of invaluable time.
1T is the earnest desire of the War
department that 10000 single men
between the ages of 10 and 40. who
have no dependents and who are not
engaged in professions, business or
trades vitality necessary to the prose-
cution of the war, to be enlisted in
the regular army before June 30."
"To accomplish the task set forth
by the War department, the number
of enlistments obtained in this district
must average ffty-eight men per day
for every day, Sundays excepted, for
the remainder of this month" said
Captain Mckinley.
ITO obtain the quota allotted to this
district the army needs the assistance
of all patriotic citizens. All citizens
are requested to personally see and
talk to their employees and friends
Saturday in an effort to obtain proper
response to the secretary of wars
call for men to enlist prior to June 80.

MRS. NELSON EXCUSED.
Attorney Baker agreed that If Mr..
Thomas would put Mrs. Phelps on
the stand first he would promise that
Mrs. Nelson would not be present.
Mrs. Nelson was excused last week
from the witness stand when she
pleaded illness and after she had testi.
fed that Paul Sutton and Elsie Phelps
had clandestine meetings at her home
at Sl6 South Nineteenth street. Sut-
ton, at Chn1ron and at the Maloney
hearing, dehied that he ever had been
at the Nelson place.
81 intend to show that Mrs. Nelson
uttered a monstrous lie when she
testified that she saw Mrs. Phelps at
her home" announced Attorney
Thomas.
Now "Chasing Rainbows."
"Let Mrs. Phelps take the stand and
then we can dispose of that phase of
the case. Ninety-nine per cent of the
testimony i'll this case has nothing to
do with the charges against Maloney,
anyway. We are chasing ranbows," I"
replied Attorney Baker.
Commissioner Butler suggested
that transcript OF the Chadron case,
which is before the council for
perusal be accepted for further testi-
mony regarding the alleged attend
ance Of Sutton and Elsie Phelps at
the Nelson place. In that transcript
the denials OF Sutton and Mrs. Phelps
are recorded.
The commissioners will begin to

There is disposition to begin that
investigation without delay and one
recommendation has been made that
witnesses appear behind closed doors.
before the city commissioners, city
legal department and representatives
of the newspapers. Such plan, it
has been explained, would tend to
give witnesses more freedom of ex-
preston.
See Need of Reorganization.
The commissioners are not express
ing themselves for publication at this
time on the merits of the Maloney
hearing, which is yet uncompleted; !;
but several have been heard to re-
mark that the evidence has not con-
nected Maloney with the Chadron af-
fair or the Omaha Detective associa!
ton. They do, however, state that
there is need of reorganization in the
police department and sentiment is
unanimously in favor of a thorough
investigation of the department.
The evidence offered by many wit
nesses has been so conflicting that the
city commissioners are in sort of
mystic maze. One set Of witnesses
appeared and swore to certain state
mcnts and then another group swore
as vehemertly to another version.

POOL OF COAL AND
Transportation
NOW PROP 0SED
Commission Says Direct Fed.
era| Supervision Of Mines
and Railroads Needed to
Prevent Disaster.

Washington, June 20-Government
pools Of coal production and distri3u-
ton and OF rail and water transporta-
ton ere recommended to congress
today by the Federal Trade commits
sion as the only meals of avoiding a
disastrous coal shortage next winter.
"Ihe commission believes" says the
report, submitted after many months
OF investigation ordered by congress,
that the coal industry is paralyzing
the industries of the country and
that the coal industry itself is
paralyzed by the failure of transpor-
tation. There are enough coal cars
in the country, but not enough are
delivered to the mines, and these cars
arc not moved to the point of con-
sumption with the greatest expedition
nor are they promptly discharged" :"
Two Recommendations.
In view of these conditions, the
commission recommend:
"First-That the production and dis
tribution of coal and coke be con-
Quoted through pool in the hands OF
government agency; that the pro-
ducers of various grades of fuel be
paid their full cost of production, plus
uniform profit per ton, with due
allowance for quality of product and
efficiency of service); and,
"Second--That the transportation
age .lcies of the United States, both
rail and water, be similarly pooled and
operated on government account, un-
der the direction Of the president, and
that all such means of transportation
be operated as unit, the owning cor
porations being paid a just and fair
compensation, which would cover nor
NAL net profit, upkeep and better
ments."
Chairman Harris Dissents.
These recommendations are ap-
proved by Commissioners Davies,
Colver and Fort. Chairman Harris
dissents on the plan for transporta-
ton pool, except as last resort, and
suggests instead that during the war
the president be authorized to order
rail and water transportation agencies
to give preference to shipment of
coal, coke and other commodities in
the order of their importance to the
public welfare"
An urgent necessity exists for i'm
legislation to correct condi-
tons, says the report, because the
usual spring and summer accumula-
ton of coal stocks at points distant
from producing districts "is not now
taking place, but it must be made
during what remains of the summer
unless the country is to face next
winter a most serious and an ire
parable situation"
Soft Coal Production Low.
Present production of bitumnous,
or "soit" coal is 40 per cent under the
possible maximum, principally be-
cause OF coal car shortage, the report
declares. Consequently, the extra
large production of anthracite coal
this spring, one-fourth greater than
usual has been diverted to industrial
markets ordinarily filled by bitumi-
nous coal and coke. Anthracite mines
have been given ample car supply,
the commission observes. "by reason
of the close corporate relations be-
