END OF STRIKE IS
LOOKED FOR SOON
Federal and State Officials
Are Here Investigating
the Present State Of
Affairs.

It is expected among the laboring
men and among some Of the business
men and contractors that a settle
ment of the strike and lockout situa-
ton may be effected soon in Omaha.
The belief is based on the fact that
both the federal and the state govern
ments now have men investigating the
situation here.
Commissioner Of Cancellation Of the
United States Department of Labor
is going over the situation thor
oughly here and the state council Of
defense has definitely delegated T. P.
Reynolds and General George H. Har-
ries of Omaha to investigate tn, sit
uation for the defense council.
These delegates of>the state coun-
Gil OF defense have authority to COM
pei the contractors or the labor un-
ions, or both, to bring their lcdgers
and records before them to be exam-
ined. Whether they will go this far
in the present case is not yet clear.
There is also evidence that some
Of the contractors who have big jobs
to finish this year are growing weary
OF the long spell OF idlcness. One
contractor declared yesterday he
would not have his job standing idle
much longer. Il will have brick and
building material hauled over from
Council Bluffs" he said, III the To-

Brides and Bridegrooms
Start Annual June Rush

The June rush for marriage licenses

Gates, Cupid" Stubbcndorf, busy.
Five prospective brides and BRIDE
grooms were waiting outside county
court Saturday morning when the
doors were opened.
About thirty certificates have been
issued in the last twenty-four hours.
Mr.. Stubbendorf does not believe
the rush can be attributed to slack
ers," who could marry at the last
minute in order to claim exemption
on grounds OF having dependents
when they register for army conscrip-
tion Tuesday.
Exemption officials will take into
consideration the dates of weddings
when they excuse husbands because
they have wives TO support.
"The man who would hide behind
woman's skirts is the worst kind OF
Stacker" said Cupid "but / think
the weather and its subsequent effect
on young mems fancics are largely
responsible for the annual June rush. =

Omaha is not tagging behind in re-

yarn and instruction which pour in
every day at the National League for

Mrs. Ella Magee OF New York City,

Everybody Knits.
Everyone is knitting socks in the
east and people are standing in line
to take lessons on the knitting ma
chimes at the Red Cross headquarters
and comfort kit shops.
II saw women there from almost
every state in the union, OF every age
knitting. Although the work being
done there is tremendous, it cannot
begin to meet the need, which is
greater than is realized. The cry
from Europe is, "The shelves are
empty and many OF the men are dying
from lack of sufficient clothing, so
knit, and then knit some more"
With the exception of Mrs. E. B.
Brain, who owns an old-fashioned
knitting machine, Mrs. Magee is the
only other person in Omaha yet dis

late the machine. Mrs. E. P. Peck,
