|. W. W. DELEGATES .
JAILED IN OMAHA
CONVENTION RAIDED BY
U. S. OFFICIALS.
Sixty-Three King Pins" of the Dis
loyal Order of l Won't Works Are
Being Held Pending a Fed
eral Investigation.

The Industrial Workers of the
World aggregation of malcontents hac
arranged to hold a convention in
Omaha this week. They assembled on
their unlucky day, the 18th. Sixty
three delegates were present, princi-
pally from the nearby states, as il
costs money with added war tax to
travel these days. Since Bill HAYWOOD
and his headquarters staff in Chi
cago, together with about 100 other
disturbers thruout the country. were
arrested and jailed two months ago,
the pro-German donations have quit
coming. Hence, as L. w W. members
were opposed to work before they be-
gan disturbing for the kaiser, those
remaining out of Jail are short of
funds.
All are being held in the Omaha Jail
TO await the outcome of an investiga-
ton now under way and will require
an individual examination of each
man, according to United States Mar
shal Flynn. When booked at the po-
lice station the l. W. VS. gave ad-
dresses from every principle Western
city and many Eastern cities.
Little Money in Crowd.
The raid was made by United States
deputies, assisted by Omaha police
and detectives, but no resistance was
made.
When Marshal Flynn appeared at
the door of the convention hall and de-
manded admission in the name of the
government, the door was opened at
once. The chairman announced that
the meeting had adjourned and all
prepared to follow the marshal.
Not pistol was found in the crowd
and but very little money, most of the
delegates being absolutely without n
cent.
Denver Man Arrested.
E. F. Dix of indianapolis was in the
chair when the raiders entered the
hall.
Artell Lancaster, Omaha, is said by
the officers to be one of the ringlead-
ers. Among those arrested, the Of
ficers pointed out the following as be-
ing influential:
7. A. Jenkins, executive secretary,
Omaha; Billy Ness, Brooklyn; Simon
Henrickson, Providence; A. D. Ford,
Houston, Tex; Walter Pafenalk, Port
land. Ore; John Stine, San Francisco;
ris. Denver; Frank Mulhgan, Phila-
delphia; Mrs. Elmer Buse, st, Louis,
was the only woman in the convention.
Literature Is Confiscated.
Everything in the room was con-
fiscated. There were two new type
writers. several tables and desks and
barrels and boxes of literature in
many languages. This literature was
taken in charge by the United States
marshal and Secret Service Agent
Aberstein and removed to the federal
building.
"The literature is the same stuff
that was recently barred from the
mails" said Marshal Flynn. 1--WE
think the delegates intended taking it
back home with them. We believe we
have the king pins of the order"

Grand Committee of Irish Convention Is
 Still Holding Meetings

l Dublin, October 0.-(Correspondence of 1 the associated ,Press3-there is much speculation in Dublin as to the meetings l of the grand committee of the Irish con vention which are taking place in Trin- l ity college It is expected that the com mittee soon will report to the conVen- l ton. and by then it should be possible ! to form pretty definite guess as to whether the convention can accomplish l the work entrusted to it.
 | The convention having debated at | large, with very free interchange or views, the various aspects of the Irish question, directed its grand committee to attempt to evolve a plan or plans for submission to the general body. If the committee can do that, the difficulty will have been surmounted and an agreed result seem certain.
 The committee is really smaller edi- ton of the convention, containing rep resentatives of all the parties and includ- ing it's best minds and most eXperi- enced men. Whatever it agrees to rec
 ommend is likely of adoption by the con- vention. Several references have been
 made in public speeches by members of tn convention to it's work. They have come from Ulster men, southern union
 ists and nationalists. government nomi- nees and county councillors They have all been sanguine in tone
 The unionist press in Belfast, which is known to be in touch with some lead- ing members of the convention, continues quite irreconcilable and rumor in Dublin,
 which privately discusses the speeches at
 the convention to it's work. They have appeared in the newspapers furnishes no
 suggestion that the Ulster men have as yet agreed to a plan of settlement. Unlike the nationalists, the Ulster dele gates are bound to consult their organ ization outside and a meeting has been held between the delegates and the ad- 1 visory committee appointed by the Ulster
 unionist council at which a full discus sion of the situation took place. During his recent visit to London Sir Horace
 Plunkett saw the prime minister and 1t | is supposed informed him of the pros poets of the convention. Sir Horace re-
 mains very hopeful of successful re- suit.

AMERICAN OFFICERS
 LEARN GOLF WHEN ! WAITING ORDERS
This Game Is Among Diver Sions of Men Stationed at Naval Base in
 England ..g

Base American Flotilla in British Waters, October 1.-(Correspondenc ) The American officers are becoming topnotch golfers. Only a handful of them played the game back in the states" but now every destroyer num- bers three or four devotees of the sport. The season Is now in full swing and almost any fair day groups may be seen monopolizing the links. The Americans not only have revived the game in these parts, but so many of them have taken up golf that they have put the local club on a paying basis and generally made themselves popular with the residents.
 When the Americans arrived, the links which are on the top of the cliffs overlooking the sea, were some what neglected but they have now been put into first-class condition, the grass has been cut and the greens have been rolled as never before. Cad dies have been attracted from distant parts, encouraged by the generosity of the Americans, whose tips are much sought after.
 The club house is 8 most picturesque old castle built in 1886. There Is all sorts of tradition attached to it. It 1OSSulUlSS 5Icdlly 1oldIHcy CdSti0 dIll was originally built by the chief of an old clan who ruled the country for miles about.
 Tea is served in the great room of the castle. Whitewash alone covere the rough stone walls and the ceil- ing.
 Ofttimes an old native member of the club will drop In to regale the Americans with tales of the club houss n h0 o1o1A A who gave up golf sticks and bags has returned to his profession since the Yankee invasion" and he gives up his spare moments to teaching the American beginners the fine points of the 2game.

 INTEREST IN THE AMENDMENT The following article from the New Republic reflects the widespread inter est in the federal amendment. The i'm
 petus given suffrage by the New YorB triumph, where at one stroke one-tentf of all American were enfranchfsed, IS un-
 bounded. The agitation for the fedora
 action is a significant phase;
 Besides being extraordinary, touching and convincing the victory for equal suffrage in New York state is decisive
 It's effect upon similar contests else where in the union will be prodtgious, but the women of the other states should not and will not be obliged to repeat the exhausting and harassing struggle of their sisters in New York. The submis-
 sion of the federal amendment has been made politically inevitable. and hereafter the efforts of the suffragst workers all
 over the country should and will be concentrated upon the Job of getting 1t passed by congress with the least possi- ble delay and accepted by the states. The enfranchisement of women on the same terms and to the same extent as the enfranchisement of men deserves to be incorporated in the fundamental law of the American nation as a vital prin- ciple of the American democracy. Moth
 ing less will satisfy the profound sense which this war has brought with it of a joint responsibility for the welfare of society which must not be impaired by distinctions of class or sex. The recog- milton of that principle will ultimately give to the relations beween men and women new meaning. They will here after be held together not only by bonds of affection and passion, not only in the task of building homes and raising fam 1l,es, but in the arduous work of politi- cal and social construction. Every phase of their relationship will be intensified and liberalized by the effect of adding to 1t common absorption In the prac- tical promotion of disinterested social purposes"

Nez Perez Herald 1t is a matter
of keen reproach to the ranks of or
ganized labor that strikes ana ois-
turbances of all kinds should be rife
just at this time when the nation
needs that we should be as one as we
never before have been. Doubtless
there are causes a-plenty for strife
in ordinary times and under ordin-
airy conditions. At present and under
conditions that face this country, l,
would seem that. while the world Ii
called upon for sacrifices in all the
relations of life, labor might consent
to bear patiently few iniustices, es-
pecially if to remedy those injustices
the safety of the country is to be
jeopardized. Everything that takes
from the perfect unity of this coun-
try. initiates against the great I'M
dertaking that we have entered up
on. Now. when the country needs
every ounce of its strength, is poor
time to settle labor disputes, especlai-
ly if the settlement involves conten-
ton and strife. If THERE'S not SUM-
Gent patriotism and loyalty among
the employers to grant merited rights
then labor should prove itself the
better patriot in bearing with injus-
tice until the country is safe from the
dangers that threaten.

NOT BUSINESS. BUT POLITICS

The census bureau has Just pub
lished a report showing that our cit
les spent last year 1928 per capita
above their revenues. The report al
so shows that their net debt is eight
times as great as that of the nation
averaging 1854 per capita for the
213 cities. Over forty per cent. of
these cities are under the commits
sion form of government, but none of
them are conducted on a purely bus
mess basis. A corporation that ex-
ceeded its net revenues and multi
piled its debts would go into receiv-
ership. No private corporation or
manufacturing business could be op-
Grated successfully for single year
on political lines.

money, they would spend a billion

This would mean an enormous addi-

subject of personal interest to every

railroads has fallen away so greatly
during the past few years that it is
difficult for them to borrow money
except at ruinous rates Yet the
railroads are the great arteries OF
business. In view of the aid that the
government has been extending tc

says the government has guaranteed
the farmer minimum price of two
dollars a bushel for wheat, compared
with one dollar wheat before the wal
and an average price during the 20

are still below the twenty average
