STRIKING CARMEN
GIVE TESTIMONY
Recognition Of Union Appears
Chief Bone Of Contention
Before State Rail
Board.

Lincoln, May 2s.--(Speeial.) 1.-The
hearing before the state railway COM
mission, brought by the striking
street car employees against the Lin
colp Traction company, is devoted to
testimony of discharged employees or
those who walked out. Recognition
of the union is the chief point at is
sue.
Strikers say that they have always
been willing to submit the difficulties
between the men and the company to
arbitration, but insist that member
ship in the union should not be sub
ject OF arbitration. l:,s.
One employe, when questioned
closely, admitted that he believed his
first duty was to the union and the
interests of his employer. the car
company, secondary, as he. under
stood the obligation required by the
union.
The discharged men have nearly all
admitted upon cross-examination that
the officials of the company have not
objected to organization by the men.
but have insisted that the organiza-
ton should be local and not one
forced to obey orders of national
headquarters in some city in the east.
The attorneys for the strikers in the
last day. or so have endeavored to
show that the car service given by
the company is not adequate to the
demands of the public and that the
new men taken on in the places of the
strikers have been given greater con
sideration by the company, have been
paid greater wages than the old men
and that most OF them are not as COM
petent to handle cars as the former
operators.
