mi. ". v. CASE
Attorney for Leaders Under Ar

to Strike During War.

Chicago, Oct. 3.-Whether an Or
ganization can 60 on strike during
war time and whether members OF
organizations can stay on strike
when that strike was initiated before
the war started. are the two para
mount issues before the United States
government and the 100 indicted
members of the Industrial Workers
of the World, according to Otto
Christensen, attorney for the latter
organization. He is in Chicago to-
day investigating the charges against
the Industrial Workers of the World
and preparing for the legal battle
which viii open soon. In + @-5#a Z
j Sweeping denial ofs each of the
charges named in the indictment was
made by Christensen, who asserted
the chief point at issue is whether
the Industrial Workers of the World
members arc within the law in pro-
mitigating strikes during war time.
/ Says Men Are Loyal. g.,
"The government charges cannot
pbssibly stand up" he declared. "The
Industrial Workers OF the World has
at no time taken a positive position
in regard to the war. Some of the
strikes we are charged with starting
to embarrass the government were
started before the war began. As
to- our alleged attempt to fight con-

the large number of Industrial Work

now in the various cantonments.

Mr.. Christensen admitted that
strenuous efforts are being made to
obtain bonds for some of the leaders.
He declared it would be impossible
to secure total of $l,625,000, which
would secure the release of all un-

some of the members now in Jail
would be released on bail.

Minimum PRICE
FOR LIVE STOCK
T0BE next STEP
Government Seeks to Estab.
Iish Fair Rates Between
Prices of Corn and Hogs
to Protect Producers.

1t is possible that minimum price
will eventually be fixed on live stock
as it has been on wheat.
This is one of the problems the
national food administration is con-
sidering and opinions are being gath
,ered from farmers, live stock breed
ers and ranchers as to- what would
probably be the proper ratio to cs-
taBlish between the price OF corn and
the price of hogs.
"A meeting of swine growers of the
central west is now in progress at
Waterloo, la. This question is being
considered there, Reports in Omaha
are that Clifford Pinchot and E. c.
Lassiter, both members of the cabi-
net of Herbert Hoover's food admin
istration, are attending the meeting.
E. L. Burke of Omaha. chairman
of the live stock committee of the
Nebraska food administration, is also
in attendance.
Hope to Fix Ratio.
The government is seeking full in
formation which will make it possible
to arrive at a roper minimum price
TO fix upon live stock which will make
it fair to the producer and consumer
alike, and at the same time maintain a
ratio between the cost of corn and
pork, for example, which would make
it profitable for the farmer to feed
corn to hogs.
T. c. Tomlinson, president of the
National Live Stock Breeders asso.
citation. is now in Omaha. He visited
the SWINE show on the South Side this
morning and had a conference with
Secretary Stryker of the South
Omaha Live Stock exchange.
The state executive co;nmittee OF
the Nebraska Food Administration is
called for a meeting at the Hotel Fon.
tenelle Thursday noon. At this meet.
ing general food administration mat.
tiers will be discussed, though it is not
likely that the live stock situation will
be gone into in great detail at that
time.
An effort will be made to locate Gif-
ford Pinchot and E. c. Lassiter and,
if possible, get them to attend the
meeting at the Fontenelle.

Shafer Delegation Back
From CHICAGO Convention

The fourteenth annual convention
of the National Association of Adver-
tising Speciality Manufacturers was a
magnificent success, according TO w.
T. Shafer, president of M. F. Shafer
& Co., who just returned from his
trip to the Chicago convention.
The association is composed of the
larger concerns all over the country
who are interested in either the dis
tribution or manufacture of calendars
and advertising specialties. And as
the Omaha institution will break into
the first rank of such concerns, with
the completion of its new six-story
plant at Seventeenth and Webster
streets, Mr.. Shafer feels that the in
terchange of ideas was especially val
liable at this time. The formal open
ing of the new plant will take place
in the early part of November.
On the trip Mr.. Shafer was accom-
panied by Mr.. Kenworthy, sales man
ager, and Mr.. Hays, assistant sales
manager. Some time was spent by
the three in selecting numbers for the
M. f. Shafer & Co. line of calendars
for 1919, and a few additional items
of equipment for the new building
were also purchased.

OMAHA COAL MEN
WILL MEET PRICE
FIXED BY WILSON
People Buying Now viii Have
Rebate if Government
Later Reduces the
Retail Cost.

Omaha dealers are now selling coal
at the old prices with the understand
ing that these prices are subject to
revision when the government finally
determines what the retail price for
coal in October shall be.
This is in accordance with the
law" said R. c. Goddard, chairman of
the coal committee of the Associated
Retailers Of Omaha, and we wish the
people could understand that all the
coal dealers in Omaha are now put
ting this provision on every bill for
coal sold in October.
May Have to Rebate.
1T means that while we are selling
coal at the old prices here now until
we get readjusted and know just what
the new price is to be, we will be COM
PEELED to give our customers a rebate
on any bill of coal sold this month,
when the government finally de-
termines what the retail price for
October shall be.
THAT ought to be plain enough to
everybody, and it ought to be fair.
There is no reason why people should
hold off longer 'on the matter of buy.
ing their coal when they have'the as
surance that under the law we will
be compelled to rebate them ON Octo-
Der sales as soon as the price is
fixed.
New Plan October /.
"Of course, it should be understood
that this applies to October and not
to sales made last April, or any month
prior to October.
The law on this coal situation is
very complicated one, and cannot be
readily interpreted in moment. We
are trying to work it out correctly,
and in due time the proper basis here
will be established. Meantime, the
customers have the protection of the
law if they buy coal at the old prices
and the price for October is eventual
ly put down"
Coal Here Thursday.
The city purchasing department in
the city hall has received advice from
a railroad company which promises
delivery of first shipment of coal for
the municipal yard on Thursday
morning.
Orders are being recorded, but pay
ment will not be accepted until the
coal has arrived. One hundred orders
have been received and will be filled
in. the order in which they were en-
tered.
Those who have ordered will be
notified by telephone as soon as coal
has arrived and they will be expected
to make payment promptly, as no c. |
0. D. orders will be filled by the mu-
nicipal coal department.
The first coal to be sold will be

Men of the First and Second
Divisions Start for Camp
Funston on Way to
Front.

The third contingent of men Sc,
lected for the national army from
the First and Second districts in
Douglas county left yesterday morn
ing for Camp Funston at $40 o'clock.
Tuesday these men were dined
and feted, but yesterday holiday-mak-
ing was past and it was serious lot
of young men that boarded the Mis-
souri, Pacific train yesterday. Di-
rected by the members of their local
boards, nearly 200 men, the pick of
the county, left for the training camp
at Fort Riley, Kan.
Crowds of cheering friends accom-
panied them to the station, mothers
and sweethearts bravely smiled fare
we'll to the 5oys, hiding their grief
that the parting might not be sad.
Escorted by Kilties.
At Sixteenth and Farnam streets
the boys left the street cars that
brought them in from north and
south. Here they joined forces and
here the Royal Highlanders band
took its place with them.
From there they marched to the
station, while the bagpipes and drums
of the Ladies from HELP played a
stirring march and the Scotch laddies
led the way. Members of the local
boards of the First and Second dis
tricts, as we'll as many prominent
Omaha citizens, fell into line with
the boys. Though the departure was
set for such an early hour a huge
crowd of friends was at the station to
tell them goodby. ~ ~
There was not single reluctant
foot in the crowd of soldiers-to-be.
Every face was wreathed in smiles
and many were the comments of the
on-lookers on the fine spirit and
splendid appearance of these repre-.
seLtatives of Douglas county.
For quarter of All hour they wait
ed in front of the station while 5000
men, women and children surged close |
for a last word with their heroes. The |
Kilties surrounded them and played
nadly, the spirit OF Victories to come
in. their music. Then these seasoned
veterans of the European war and the
valiant young recruits formed again
in line, marched down the hill and
through the big gates. No one but the |
selected men and the local boards |
we're allowed to pass through the |
gates so the leavetaking was ended |
there.
Roll is Called.
There was rapid roll call at the
train and then the boys climbed on
board, laughing and shouting. At $40
The train pulled out of the station
while all the men sought to grasp the
hands of the local board members
waving them goodby.
The boys will have luncheon on the
train, but will arrive in Kansas City
or supper. There will be a wait of
hree hours i'll Kansas City and they
,lan one last large time taking in the
sights before they get down to hard
,.,
At 1880 tonight they will reach
camp Funston. The first that will
happen to them will be cold shower
