POOR WORKING
CONDITIONS AT
UP. SHOPS, CLAIM
Six Hundred employees Make
Complaint That Discrimina-
tion Is Made by Foremen
Against Union Men.

Resolutions condemning the ineffi-
eisncy of foremen over employees and
poor working conditions at the Union
Pacific shops, were drawn up by 900
employees of the shops who met IN
Joint session Friday night in the La
Dor Temple, Sixteenth and Capitol
avenue.
Representatives of the various local
organizations OF boilermakers, pipe
men, electricians, mechanicans, black
smiths, carmen and sheet metal
workers, were present and voiced
criticism of labor conditions of the
shops, declaring that discrimination
is being evidenced constantly against
union men.
F. NJ. Wagman, representing the
mechancians' union, said Some of
our foremen, who are appointed from
other shops, disregard efficiency OF
work altogether among the employees
Particularly, they discriminate against
Us union men. We are organized for
our own welfare. We have absolutely
no grievance concerning wages; all
we demand is better working condi-
tions and chance to forge ahead
for promotions"
Men Show Patriotism.
Bernard Carvello, secretary of the
boiler-makers' union, was chairman
81 the meeting. He said: "We have
shown our spirit in the shops by
following the orders of our foremen
to the letter. We have worked over
time without murnlur; our patriotism
in response to the Liberty loan and
war savings stamp drives has been
unequalled, in proportion to our
numbers; we are responding willingly
to the call of the army and navy
Now, we ask fair play concerning our
demands"
F. L. Behm, head of the mechan-
icians' union, said: Our object is to
obtain higher efficiency in our work,
while in turn we ask our employers
to regard our competency and recog-
nize our unions"
A committee was named to meet in
conference with the officials of the
shops with the object of arriving at
a settlement. Another meeting is
scheduled to be held Monday night in
the Labor Temple.

Alien Property Custodian
Is Title Of New Official
Created Since War Began

"Allen property custodian" is the ii.
tie of a new official created by an act
Of congress Of October 6, 1917, known
as the trading with the. enemy act"
It relates to the handling and dlspo-
sltion of productive properties in the
country previously owned and oper-
ated by companies or corporations Of
country now at war with the United
States. In effect, it conhscates such
properties, temporarily, leaving their
final disposition for future settlement.
Section 8 of the act says;
"That the president is author
lied to appoint, prescribe the duties Of
and fix the salary (nOt to exceed
$1,000 per annum) of an official to be
known as the alien property custo-
dian, who shall be empowered to re-
ceive all money and property Ia the
United States due or belonging to an
enemy, or ally of an enemy, which may
be paid, conveyed, transferred, assign
ed or delivered to said custodian un-
der the provisions of this act, and to
hold, administer and account for the
same under the general direction of
the president and so provided in this
act"
Every corporation incorporated
within the United States, and every
unlncorporated company doing busl-
ness here which issues stock certifi.
Gates is required to send the alien
property custodian list Of its officers
or stockholders residing in a country
with which we are at war, together
with the amount Of stock owned by
such person. The alien property GUS
todian is vested with all the powers
of a common law trustee in respect
of all property which shall come into
his possession in pursuance of the pro.
visions of the act, and may manage
such property and do anything in re-
spect thereof necessary to It's control
and operation during the war, It's ulti-
mate disposition to be settled after
ward. There is reason to believe that
personal representatives Of the Ger
man government, perhaps even the
kaiser himself, have become stock
holders In certain business concerns
in this country and the "alien property
custodian" has declared his intention
to root them out

WITH THE
POULTRY GROWERS

H--H1--S1--q-fSt--SSt--S1S --l1--S1-SS-EA--tl--p
The poultry department of the New
Jersey agricultural experiment sta
ton advises that careful attention be
given to preparing the laying houses
for the pullets Before placing them
in their permanent quarters, the house
should be thoroughly cleaned and dis
infected, as a precaution against dis
ease.
AS crowding lowers the vitality,
each bird should be allowed at least
four square feet of floor space. See
that all drinking fountains, feed hop
pers and other fixtures are raised off
the floor.
Ventilation should be secured by
means of muslin-curtain window In
the front of the house. Keep this open
at all times, except in very stormy
weather and during severe cold spells.
Provision should be made for the larg-
est amount Of sunlight possible in the
house, as this is one of the best means
Of preventing disease. Windows should
be so constructed that the sun can
touch every part of the floor some
time during the day.
1t is essential that the house be
kept dry. See that there are no places
in the roof or sides where rain can
beat in. Also, 1t is desirable to have
a concrete floor, laid on a bed Of 10
to II inches of cinders. A dust box,
3 by 4 feet and IL feet deep, contain
ing fine dust, should be placed in
each house. In short, for the best re-
suits everything should be done to
give the birds the best housing condi-
tions possible.
