FIJI. Newell, National
Head Of Engineers,
to Address Local Body

The American Association OF
Engineers, Omaha chapter, finally
secured Frederick Haynes Newell
the national president, to address a
statewide meeting of professional
engineers at the Chamber of COM
n.erce, Monday, June %. at $50 p.
m. He was the first chief engineer
(io02-07): and director s(lo07-l4 OF
the United States reclamation SER
vice, then consulting engineer. Dur
ing the next few years the organiza-
tion of the reclamation service was
completed and plans for. extensive
work in each of the western arid
states, work being initiated on most
of these. In 1907 the reclamation
service was organized as a separate
bureau of the department of the in
terror with Mr.. Newell as director.
The late Theodore Roosevelt de-
clared; "For IA years I have fol-
lowed the work of Frederick H.
Newell. He was one of the most
loyal, disinterested and efficient
servants the United States has had.
He is a public servant of whom it
is the bald and literal truth to say,
that by his service he has made all
American citizens his debtors"
He has written quite extensively
on the problems of development and
use OF the resources of the country,
his principle books being upon
irrigation, the public lands and re-
lated subjects, notably THE Public
Lands and their Water Supply"

Industrial Round Table for
Solving Problems Leading
to Unnecessary Strikes

the result of war strain; but, in ad-
dition to war strain, there is some
evidence that the spirit in the. work
shop is being changed, and not al
ways in the right direction.
Unhappily for the country, and
also for working class interests, a
situation such as we have seen de-
veloped in the engineering and in the
coal industries is not covered by any
existing machinery which would
blend the interests and the Just
rights of the contending parties with
the claim which the third great in
terest, namely, the public, justly has
in all these troubles.
Must Consider Others.
An industry such as engineering or
coal mining cannot decide on i'm
portant alterations with regard to
hours, production, wages and Gus
toms of work as though these things
had nothing to do with other peo-
pie.
A change to az, "a or 30 hours per
week in any one of series of trades
is the signal for demands being i'm
mediately formulated in scores of
other occupations. Undoubtedly, in
the case of miners, chemical work.
ers, locomotive drivers and many
other men working under great
mental and physical pressure, there
are grounds for great Improvement
and strong reasons for generous
conditions of employment. But
changes even in these industries
should be considered in their rela-
ton to claims which will inevitably
be made in other occupations. No
one trade, thesefore can separate it.
self from the industrial interest and
outlook of other trades.
There is in existence a bewilder-
ing number of federations and asso-
Citations of all kinds representing
separately employers and workmen,
and sometimes representing the
joint interests of employers and
workmen. In spite, however, of this
multiplicity of bodies, we appear fire.
quently to stumble into trouble, and
not until we are in the middle or at
the end of it do we see how simple
is the course by which trouble might
have been avoided.
An industrial parliament might
we'll be formed of representatives of
the great associations which have SO
far dealt only with trade and work.
shop questions, and which have
never taken in hand questions of
great principle, or dealt with any
subject bearing upon the psychology
of situations which are created BY
workshop changes. A national and
representative body consisting of
leaders who would not be afraid of
telling both sides what should be
done in their interests, and in the
national interests, would serve an
excellent purpose. Such a body
would be sure to proclaim the SIM
pie fact that great improvements are
impossible in any one occupation, or
in any group of trades, without re-

began Tuesday, June 8. On that
day 81 registration places were open

about half the number which he
thought would register.
These registrations entitled the
women to vote at the presidential
election provided they do not
change their residence before that
time. If the suffrage amendment
should be ratified, this registration
also makes it legal for the regis

CIothiers Urge Repeal OF
Luxury Tax on Apparel

The directors of the Nebraska
State Clothiers' association, at a
meeting held here, went on record
as favoring repeal Of the luxury
tax on wearing apparel.
President S. M. Durfee of Pierce,
Neb., stated that this tax is unjust,
and that a man who wants to buy
quality merchandise is placed at a
disadvantage. He added that s.
shirt is not luxury, but an econ
omy, because a S. shirt is cheaper
in the long run than one which sells
for less money.
Those present besides President
Durfee were: A. w. Stern, Grand
Island, vice president; Nate c. Hol-
man OF Lincoln. secretary, and the
following directors: Ed Mathiesen,
Blair; All Galusha, McCook; Oliver
Olson. Newman Grove. The direct
ors laid plans for the next state con-
vention which will be held in Om-
aha. February to 6, 1920.

BY ]. R. cLYNES, M. p.

London, June l3-If labor during
this period of widespread unrest for.
feits any of the good name which
it secured for itself during the war,
| it will not be altogether due to the
action of labor, for mucf, of the
blame for strikes and threats of
strikes must be shared by employers
and employers associations.
With the very best of intentions,
associations representing the two
sides in the engineering trades ar
ranged for a reduction of working
hours. Trouble very soon arose on
the literal meaning and effect Of the
arrangement. The employers took
the view that the arrangement meant
that AZ hours should actu-
ally be worked. The men took the
view that the arrangement did not
require them to suffer any reduced
wages, and that none of the little
privileges or customs in the work
shops which have existed were can
celled by any new plan which deter
mined the working time.
Denied Treasured Rights.
In pursuance of, the employers
view, the management of certain
works made alterations, put up no.
|tices which took away rights that
workmen had enjoyed with regard
to things which are more than
amenities because they had grown
into theNnecessities of workshop ex-
istence. A short spell for rest or
food is no slight matter to the in
dividual workman. 1t means more
to him than what is generally sig
nified by eloquent language about
commercial prosperity and volume
of production. To retain these rights
workmen will often more readily
make common cause and go to the
length of a strike than they would
think of doing for the attainment of
some comparatively big object.
What has happened illustrates the
truth that very little trouble can
lead to great disasters, or in other
words, trifles make either for peace
or strife. ~
ItFis quite common in industry for
one blunder to follow another, and
it would appear that workmen who
should have reported their griev-
ances to the proper authority and
exercised patience in seeking a sat-
isfactory remedy rushed to the ex-
treme of calling shop or mass meet
ings, passing resolutions, some
times in language which indicate a
hot temper, and declaring their in
tention to apply very drastic meas
ures unless things which they named
were speedily accomplished.
War Strains Alter Temper.
This conduct ought not to dinnin-
ish the reputation built upon the
great national services rendered by
labor during the course Of the war.
War strain added to the physical
fatigue which the war period engen-
dered, has gone far to change the
temper of men and workshops. Ex-
travagant demands have often been

Kansas Music Lovers .
Arrange Program Of
Wel-Known Artists

Hays, Kan.-One thinks of a
musicalI festival as confined to
a city. but away out here on the
plains of northwestern Kansas a
far-famed festival has sprung into
existence. The leading artists sof
the musical field come here to this
little village, situated on the plains,
where men and women, hungry for
the music that fills the soul, come
hundreds of miles by train, automo-
bile and, in some Instances, 50 or
Is miles by wagon to hear the music
they so much desire.
Tomorrow night when Prof
Henry Edward Mallow lifts his
baton before the big chorus of 700,
the 5000 people who will fill Sheri-
dan Coliseum will hear the opening
strain of ''The Messiah" sung by
men and women who were born and
raised or brought up hundreds of
miles away from musical centers.
A whole week of music will be-
gin tomorrow. In the afternoon,
Nine. Margaret Matsenauer. of the
Metropolitan Grand Opera of New
York City, will open the festival.
Next Sunday afternoon Toscha Sci
del, the sensational violin prodigy
will give recital. "The Messiah"
will close the week of music next
Sunday night.
An illustration of the, holding
power of music is seen in the lives
of Mr.. and Mrs. c. M. Stock and
family. For nine years one or all
of tire boys sang in the chorus. This
year four Of the boys are still over
seas. All winter long Mr.. and Mrs.
Stock trudged through snowdrifts
to attend rehearsals that the Stock
family might be represented in the
chorus again. -

Among the pleasing sidelights that anti-adminis-
