Men Defer Action Until Fur

Fare Delayed.

SSVutiuoeu EIVhs HA&e ouc.p
the time for objection to the new
rate by the city expires.
Only four commissioners were
present when the council voted
down the resolution introduced by
Mayor Smith. This resolution d.
rected Corporation Counsel Lam
bert to notify the supreme court
that the city council of Omaha will
not oppose the 7-cent fare ordered
Wednesday by the State Railway
commission.
Commissioners Zimman and But
Ter voted in opposition to the reso-
luton and Mayor Smith and Com
missioner FOWL in favor of it,
When informed of the action of
the council, Assistant General
Manager Leussler of the company
exclaimed: at is very unfor-
tunate. If everyone sits tight and
nothing is conceded on either side
strike is imminent"
During the voting by the city
commissioners Mr.. Falconer, though
in the city, was not present.
After the meeting the mayor stat
ed that if Commissioner Falconer
notifies him that he is in favor Of
the resolution he will call a special
council meeting to take another
vote on the matter.
The action of Mr.. Butler and Mr.
2imman in voting down my resolu-
ton may precipitate street car
strike" said the mayor after the
meeting.
"The men cannot get their in
increase to IS cents an hour until
the new rate of fare goes into effect,
and the new fare cannot 60 into eff
feet next Sunday unless this council
notifies the supreme court that it
will interpose no objections

The mandate of the supreme court
ordering the state railway commits
sion to give the street railway COM
pany a higher fare rate was handed
down about month ago. The city
haSsn,days from that time to object.
The 40 days will expire August "a.
The mayors resolution was as fol-
lows:
"Whereas. the state railway COM
mission has made an order permit
ting an increase in street railway
fares which requires the consent OF
this council in order to become eff
fective Immediately,
BE it resolved that Mr.. Lambert,
representing the city council, be au-
thorized to take such action as may
be necessary to enable the company
to make its order effective I'M
mediately.
Resolved, further. that in the in
terests of the public this council
urge and insist that any contention
between the street railway company
and its employees over the wage
scale or working conditions be ad
sjusted fairly and equitably to all par
ties by conferences between them
selves and that this be done without
any discontinuance of street car
service or Inconvenience to the pub
lie at large"
4 voted against the resolution OF
the mayor because the company and
the men have not agreed~on a wage
scale" said Mr.. Zimman. II pointed
out to the men Wednesday night
that S. cents an hour is a mighty
good rate Of pay. l have IS appli-
cations for positions on the fire de-
partment and those men start in at
less than that figure. &
Al the same time, l think the
company should not get SO much OF
the increased revenue as will give
them money to pay dividends on ex-
cess stock" -.

PRICES FALL
WITH CRASH
ON EXCHANGE
Many Disturbing Rumors Lead
to an Orgy of
Selling.

New York, Aug. 7.-Prices fell
with a crash in the last hour of
trading on the Stock exchange
Thursday. Reactions of 5 to almost
20 points from the best quotations
of the session were accompanied by
many disturbing rumors and led to
an orgy of selling.
Reports from Washington to the
effect that President Wilson's ad-
dress before congress would deal
summarily with prohteers were sup
piemented by rumors that action
contemplated by the Department OF
Justice would involve many indus
trial corporations which hourished
during the war.
Apprehension was heightened also
by the attitude of the railroad
brotherhoods, whose representa-
tive before the house interstate
commerce committee gave utter
ance to serious accusations against
Wall street interests"
Another disturbing feature was
the 1urther COllapSe or frenCn ex-
change to a point never before. re-
corded in this market, bills on Par
is falling to levels where they rep
resented a discount of SO per cent
from par.
The one reassuring feature was
the ease of money. Call loans were
in free supply at less than 5 per
cent, while moderate amounts of
time money were offered for the
first time in many weeks at 7 per
cent.
Aside from its irregularity, the
market gave no hint of demoraliza-
ton until heavy offerings of United
States Steel and other leaders
caused recessions of I to 2 points
between sales.

A Great August Furniture
Sale at This Store Brings
a Saving of Thousands
of Dollars.
Furniture For Every Room
in the Home in Single
Pieces and Suites.

It isn't often that one has an
opportunity to secure values of
such a substantial nature as the
Union Quitting Company is Of
fering during its big August Fur
niture sale.
In fact, such savings would be
impossible, were it not for the
fact that for many months past
their buyers have been visiting
the leading makers of Grand
Rapids and other furniture CEN
tiers for the furniture offered in
this annual event.
And if the dollars saved leave
a pleasant remembrance, there
are big, free glasses of Ice Cold
Lemonade made from genuine
Sunkist Lemons, to make it
doubly so.
You have heard of Sunkist
Lemons. How plump, thin
skinned and juicy they are. Now
come in and learn how delightful
they are for making summer
drinks. No purchase is neces-
sary.
At the Union Quitting Com
pany, no transaction is ever con-
sidered complete until the Gus
toner is satisfied.

I
istration cannot deal with a prob
lem of this sort or with any prob
lens affecting the men, excep
through the duly chosen interna
tional officers of the regularly con
stituted organization and their au'
thoriZed committees.
Men Create Chief Obstacle.
MATTERS of so various a nature
and affecting SO many men cannot
be dealt with except in this way
Any action which brings the author
lty of the authorized representatives
of the organization into question or
discredits it, must interfere with il
not prevent action altogether. The
chief obstacles to a decision has
been created by the men themselves.
They have gone out on strike and
repudiated the authority of their
officers at the very moment when
they were urging action in regard
to various interests.
you will remember that con-
ference between yourself and the
authorized representatives of the
men was arranged at the instance
of these epresenta tives for July %,
TO discuss the wage question and
the question of a national agree
ment, but before this conference
took place or could take place, local
bodies of railway shopmen took ac-
ton looking toward a strike on the
LIST of August. As result of this
action, various strikes actually took
place before there was an oppor-
tunity to act in a satisfactory or
conclusive way with respect to the
wages. In the presence of these
strikes and the reputation of the
authority of the representatives of
the organization concerned there
can be no consideration OF the mat
ter in the controversy until the EN-
ployes return to work and again
recognize the authority of their or
ganization, the whole matter must
be at a standstill.
Accepted Agreements.
when federal control of the rail
roads began, the railroad admins
tration accepted existing agree
ments between the shopmen's Or
ganization and the several railroad
companies, and by agreement ma
chinery was created for handling the
grievances Of the shipments organ
ization of all the railways, whether
they had heretofore had the bene-
fits of definite agreements or not
There can be no question, therefore,
of the readiness of the government
to deal in spirit of fairness and
by regular methods with any mat
tiers the men may bring to their at
tention.
concerned and very careful con-
sideration is being given by the en-
tire government to the question of
reducing the high cost of living. I
need hardly point out how init
mately and directly this matter af-
fects every individual in the nation,
and if transportation is interrupted
it will be impossible to solve it.
This is a time when every employe
of the railways should help to make
the processes of transportation
more easy and economical, rather
than less, and employees who are on
strikes and deliberately delaying a
settlement of their wage problems
and of their standard of living.
They should promptly return to
work, and hope that you will
urge upon their representatives the
necessity for their doing
so.
