The personnel of the gathering
was but a remnant of the organiza-
ton which started out a few years
ago to reform" Omaha. Outside
of a half dozen of men who are
fairly we'll known, there was a lot
of youths, some women and girls,
and group of men who are labor
ing under the impression that Po-
lice Commissioner Ringer is mar
tyr to the cause.
Rank and File Absent.
The rank and file of Ringer sup
porters of the last city campaign,
who were at that time identified
with the Committee of 500, were
conspicuous last night by their alb
sence. A general call had been sent
out to the 500, and about 50 re-
sponded, one-half being members,
and the others relatives of the mem
hers.
The Committee of 500 stood be-
hind Mr.. Ringer in the campaign

sided over by w. T. Graham, who

ing was DR.. w. F. Callfas, husband
of DR.. Jennie Callfas, one of the
founders of the City Detention
home Another speaker was Police
Commissioner Ringer who declared
that he appreciated the support OF
the Committee of 500.
The meeting was a keen dissp-
pointment to the promoters. AS a
representative gathering of even
the Committee of 500, it was fz-
zle. Even Bob" Smith was not
there.

CONTEMPT
c CHARGES
ACAINS 7
s I RIKERS
Three Are Cited to Court for
Disregarding Injunction;
Teamsters and Employees
Both Make Claims.

Fully half of the striking team
sters and truck drivers, who walked
out Wednesday to enforce their de-
mands for increased wages and
recognition of the union will be
back at work this morning after
more than 800 of the firms employ
ing the men had acceded to every
request made by the union, accord
ing to statement issued at the
union headquarters.
Officials Of the affected firms de-
clared that these figures could not
be right since less than 1000 me,l
oteyed the strike order and the
principle firms have not settled.
In statement supported by every
large firm affected by the strike 1t
is charged that union men are at
tempting to make Omaha CLOSED
shop" city.
Officials of the principal COM
panies involved in the strike stated
that they were willing to confer
with their own men but would not
discuss the matter with COM
niittee of the strikers.
Files Contempt Charges.
Attorney General Davis has filed
contempt charges against three
strikers who are charged with hav-
ing disregarded the injunction
issued by the district court two
years ago. The injunction enjoins
the strikers from intimidating en-
plcycs who are not striking or in
any way interfeTing with them.
The three men will appear before
Jrdge Troup next Tuesday. They
arc F. ]. Kelly, George Nebe and ].
Smith. 1t is alleged that these men
threatened and assaulted Louis
young, a driver for the Omaha
Merchants Express company.
Emphatic denial of the charges
that the present strike of the team
sters, truck drivers and helpers was
in reality an attempt on the part of
the union forces to put the closed
shop policy into effect in this city
was made by officials of the union
Wednesday evening. The denial
was called forth by statement is
sued by Mayor Smith and the en-
ployers recommending that no con-
ference with strikers committee
be held and that the question of a
closed shop should not be arbitrated.
Do Not Demand Closed Shop.
"The teamsters," declared Robert
Vaughn, chairman of the strikers
conference committee, "are not de-
manding a closed shop. We do de-
mand the right to bargain with our
employers collectively and to organ
ize on the job. We do not ask that
employers sign any agreement or
contract with the union. -
It was explained that union Off
cials had asked assurance of.all the
employers who had given in to their
demands that the union fair card
should not be used by any nom
union teamster or truck driver. This
was done in order to enable more
effective picketing of the un-
organized men. The employers, it
was stated, had probably construed
this to mean that a closed shop was
demanded.
John Larson, factory inspector OF
the state department of labor, and
one of the state mediators, stated
that "the whole thing could have
been amicably adjusted if the EN-

The Quakers rolled out to the White

In soft cushioned automobiles and took
workout on the green of the golf
course. Sir Joseph was at the trout
halfback position and ran through the
signals with the varsity.
Two years ago StrauS dented every

during these few days is the presence
of ovcrconfidence. The Red and Blue
players arc inclined to undcrratc the
ability of Rush's combination because
of the beatings that have been handed
out to the Red and White. However,
Cornell always plays its best game on
Thanksgiving Day. and no matter how
poor the team they manage to give the
Quakprs a tough battle.
Tickets for the game are as scarce
as radium aud worth as much, Most
of the pastcboards were taken up by
alumni and undergraduates of both
Cornell and Penn. The Ithacans took
virtually the entire north stand. Pitts
burgh asked for only three sections in
the north stand. so that the demand for
tickets is almost doubled.
The Athletic Association office is
spending delirious hours these days
turning down tardy requests. Only
those who took action early will be able
to see the entertainment.
