CONDITIONS IN

BAD, SAYS union
Secretary Of Meat Cutters and
Butchers Says Report Of
Welfare Worker -
"Farce." +

Charging that working condi-
tons in South Side packing houses
are bad, J. H. DAWSON secretary
and business, agent for the Amalga-
mated Meat Cutters and Butcher
Workmen's union yesterday an
nounced that the union would hold
an executive session Friday night to
make plans for the publishing OF a
weekly newspaper to tell conditions
as the union sees|them.
The report of Mrs. E. B. FOWL.
public welfare worker, is a farce, 4"
he said. Every packing house
worker knows that conditions for
women workers are not the best
they could be. I have seen women
working in the hog killing floors,
wading in streams of blood. Other
things might be said that would tend
to show up the real problem of the
woman workers.
AT the Swift & Co. plant, where
conditions are supposed to be the
best in the city, the dressing room
for men, used by both colored and
white workers, is so crowded that
if man leans over to lace his shoes
while dressing he finds his face in
the feet of another workman. i
MRS. FOWL may be truthful
enough in her report, but she prob
ably was not shown all there is TO
be seen in the killing floors and
elsewhere" He discredited the good
faith of the packers in giving a
bonus to women for overtime, etc,

done it had they not been COM

Judging from the countless preparations

Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more

Stock Yards Officials
Appeal to Railroads
For Rate Readjushnent

Union Stock Yards Co. officials
were before, c. J, Lane, sitting as an
officer of the federal railroad adj
ministration, yesterday. asking for
readjustment OF rates on carload lots
in and out Of the yards. Their con-
tention was that the increases in
rates during the last year has made
it difficult for the Omaha yards to
compete for packing house business.
Railroad officials took the posi-
ton that rates here. have been kept
in line with those applied at other
packing house centers and that there
has not been amy discrimination as
against the Omaha plant. In the
hearing, Mr.. Lane will not hand
down a decision. His only duties
will be to have the testimony extend-
ed and forwarded to the railroad adj
ministration for its action. it either
continuing or reducing the existing
rates.

B. J. Larkin Wants to Put. on
Fourth Of July Stunts Like
Those Pulled Off in

Is there enough home spirit in
South Omaha to give a big "blow
out" of the kind that used to be
pulled off in the old days before an
nexation with Omaha, on Fourth of
July.
B. J. Larkin wants to know.
Larkin, formerly coroner, says he
will give 500 if the "old gang" will
get together on a distinctly "South
Omaha doin's" July 4.
THE time is slipping BY" Larkin
said yesterday, but if these business
men who used to be organized would
get together, and donate little along
with the cooperation of the pack
ers we could make it the best indie

Biggest in History.
1T should be the biggest celebra-
ton in history" the South Side I'M
dertaker continued. There ought
to be cans of al burning all along
Twenty-fourth street. The high
school grounds at J street should
be covered with stands giving away
yes giving away-stuff to the peo-
pie.
There ought to be barrels OF LEM
onade, pop, root beer, and even near
beer ready to be handed out. There
ought to be couple of roasted
steers and hogs and sheep, too. I'd
give 500 myself if the rest of the
bunch would show up with little
cooperation"
The packers, Larkin says. will do

ton county because he refused to
take the oath of allegiance binding
him to perform military service.
Peter Dirksen and George Klippen-
stein, two young men of the same
community, were among the l3j
conscientious DIRECTORS released
from Fort Leavenworth by order OF
Secretary of War Baker. Sen.
Perry Reed, one of the authors. of
the law, lives near Henderson, and
his familiarity with these conditions
was largely responsible for the pas
sage of the bill.
It is understood that the defense,
in case of prosecution, will be that
instruction is confined to religious
subjects, and that the legislature,
in making an exception in favor of
church services in another foreign
language law, justified teaching the
children their Sunday school les
sons, justifes much preparation. The
local authorities take the view. how
ever, that the exception referred to
was for the special benefit of elderly
people upon whom rigid restrictions
would work hardship, and that it
was not intended to encourage chill
dren in the continued use of an Of
fensive tongue by organizing spe-
cial schools for their instruction
therein. The law explicitly states
that mo person, individually or as
a teacher, shall in any private, de-
nominational, parochial or public
school, teach any subject to any
person in any other language than
the English language" and provides
a penalty of from SIS to $500 or a
Jail sentence of not more than 80
DAYS for each offense.

$50 ATTORNEYS
ATTEND OMAHA
BAR FIELD DAY
Woman, With Assistance Of
Judge SIabaugh, Carries Off
Honors in Horse Shoe
Tournament.

The annual field day of the Oma-
ha bar association, held yesterday
afternoon and evening, is pro-
nounced the most successful ever
held in Omaha. ..
Over $50 attorneys and judges
participated in the festivities, which
led from the Chamber of Commerce
at noon to the HAPPY Hollow and
Field clubs and Elmwood park and
ended with a banquet and speeches
at the Happy Hollow club last
night. With the exception of seven
judges of the state supreme court.
nearly all were local men.
For the first time in history. a
woman was present. She was In
troduced as City Attorney Buell., of
Ashland, Neb., and not only gave a
rousing speech at the banquet last
night, but, with the assistance of
Judge w. w. Slabaugh, carried off
honors in a horseshoe tournament
held at Elmwood park yesterday af-
ternoon. Prominent members Of the
bar declared that she contributed
greatly to the success of the day.
Judge w. w. Slabaueh, president
of the bar association in Omaha.
presided at both the luncheon at the
Chamber of Commerce and the din
ner at Happy Hollow. Among the
speakers of the evening were Judge
w. A. RediGk, who delivered an ad-
dress of welcome to members of the
bar who had returned from service
overseas; Federal Judge Wood
rough, and Judge R. S. Dean, of the
state supreme court. ~
Returned Officers Speak.
Capt, c. F. Mclaughlin. who saw
service overseas with the American
eXpeditionary force, spoke as rep
resentative of the army, and Arthur
Palmer as representative OF the
navy. Reminiscent stories were
told by Judge George w. Shields.
A motion by Thomas Blackburn
to select a committee to greet over
100 attorneys September d, when
the legal department of the Ameri-
can Life Insurance company holds

Adams, w. w. Young and Edward
M. Martin.
Base ball during the afternoon
proved an exciting diversion for
Omaha's lawyers, and two teams,
captained by Ray Crossman and
Jesse Palmer, played two innings
for several hours. When the score
reached 100 on each side it was no
longer kept and at the end of the
second inning the game was called
on account of darkness. There was
some confusion aoout the score and
the number of errors perpetrated.
it is said.
Golf completed the triumvirate
of sports which held sway during
the afternoon. The fact that dark
clouds heaved about failed to lessen
the enthusiasm of the lawyers, and
all are ready to testify that not a
drop of rain fell to mar the fun.

COST OF CROP PRODUCTION

It costs 1888 to produce an acre of
spring wheat in Minnesota: $16.54 to
produce an acre of oats; 1881, barley;
$16.66, rye; $19.2S, corn; $19.O3, fodder
corn; $23.53, corn silage; $45.37, pota-
toes, $3.50, fax; $11.22, clover and
timothy hay, one cutting; 1859, alfalfa
hay, three cuttings; $8.67, wild hay;
$7.54, timothy seed; 1891, clover seed
These figures, taken from a bulletin
on the cost of producing Minnesota
field crops by F. w. Peck, of the Minneso-
ia experiment station, are based on in
vestigations covering the period from
1913 to 1917. At the average farm prices
for the period it was necessary for the
farmer to obtain the following yields
per acre, merely in order to cover the
cost Of production; Wheat, 13 bushels;
oats, 34.4 bushels; barley, ZIG bushels;
rye, Is bushels; flax, SO bushels; corn,
'27 bushels; potatoes, Sc bushels; hay,
IA tons.
The average yields Of these crops for
the 10-year period from 1908 to 1917 in
elusive were as follows: Wheat, IA
bushels; oats, 80 bushels; barley, "a
bushels; rye, 1877 bushels; flax, 9.3
bushels; corn 1915 bushels; potatoes,
100 bushels; hay, 1.57 tons The normal
margin over and above cost of produc-
ton made by the farm, therefore, is not
large While prices of farm products
have risen since the data referred to
have been gathered, the cost of produc-
ton has also increased. ~
The bulletin makes an interesting
study at this time in view of the very
lively interest in the high cost of living.
