The Circular.
Following is the circular:
Warning to Citizens!
Law-abiding citizens of Omaha
shall at once take steps:
To protect their wives and daugh-
tiers from the horrors Of East St.
Louis!
To safeguard their homes, their
valuables and their lives!
Do you want to suffer from an
influx of negroes and disreputables
like Omaha experienced in the sum-
mer of 1917?
We are reliably informed that
carload of negroes is again being
imported from East St. Louis, in
order to break the strike of the
Omaha teamsters who are fighting
for a living wage and the right to
belong to a union.

Conference Committee Transfers
Union, Local 2ll.
Sympathetic Strike Probable.
Officials of the various crafts de-
MED that any sympathetic walkout
was being considered by any of the
locals who held meetings Sunday
When questioned as to the POSSIBLE
ity of a sympathetic strike with the
transfers and other crafts now out,
they admitted that such action was
highly probable.
Officials of the Transfers union
stated Sunday that they had net
asked for a sympathetic walkout on
the part of the other locals. If such
action is being considered, they de-
clared, it is without their knowledge.
Despite claims of growing
strength on the part of the union
faction, employers stated that the
situation would be normal in few
days. At the office of the Omaha
Merchants Express Co. it was stated
that nearly every wagon and truck
owned by that company would be
on the streets today.
Heads of the Sunderland Brothers
Co. stated that more than so per
cent of their men were working.
Threats by the strikers serve to keep
many of the drivers from work, it
was said.
Employers expressed. willing
ness to meet their own men but
would not confer with a committee
of the strikers. Union officials
stated that should the men meet
with their individual employers it
would be equivalent to declaration
that the strike was lost.
Robert Vaughn, chairman of the |
strikers conference committee.
claimed that steady progress was
being made by the strikers. IN
less a quick agreement is reached
facilities will be COM
pletely tied up. The charges made
in the circulars, he said, come from
reliable sources which he is not at
present at liberty to divulge.

legged contradiction between the
draft of the treaty and the agreed
basis of peace. Various allied states
men. are cited as having declared
that the war was not against the
German people, but against an i'm
perialistic and irresponsible govern

the allied powers are dealing now
with the German people ruling its
own future for itself-a fact which
has been utterly disregarded in the
draft of the treaty.
Argument is presented against the
separation Of purely German terri
tory from the empire and against
the isolation OF East Prussia and
making Danzig free city.
AS to the league of nations. Ger

been promised that the league Of
nations would unite the belligerents,
conquerors as we'll as conquered. to
secure the world against further
disasters. But the status of the
league has been established with
out German help, and Germany is
not even invited to join the league.
Howl About Alsace- Lorraine.
The right of self-determination OF
nations has been proclaimed, says
the reply, by President Wilson, MI.
Asquith, Mr. Churchill, Earl Grey,
S.gnor Orlando and Premier Lloyd
George, but the treatment of the in
i;abitants of the Sarre region and CT
the district of Eupen, Malmedy and
Moresnet does not comply with
such a solemn recognition of this
right. The same, it is added with
regard to Alsace-Lorraine, the
cession of which, without consult

The third chapter deals with pos

The rapid growth Of the railway
services in Belgium is helping restore
normal conditions In that country,
which was regarded as having among
the best means of communication be-
fore the war. At the beginning of
December, 1913, Belgium had available
only 800 cars with a tonnage of 300.
At the beginning Of June, 1919, Bel
GUM had in service 9,1O4 cars with a

ALLIGATOR HAS GOOD POINTS
South Carolina Newspaper Gives Some
Reasons Why lndiscriminate Kill
ing Should Be Stopped.

The alligator is another good citi-
zen whose usefulness is overlooked,
for killing alligators has been from
time immemorial a popular pastime.
In Louisiana it was found that when
the alligators were killed off the
muskrats multiplied and destroyed the
~leyees; also the cotton-mouth moe
casin, the garfish and the carp In
creased wonderfully. Whereupon pro-
lection was given to the alligators.
This lacertilian. to give him his cor
rect family name. has probably kept
the muskrat away from the South Car
olina coast, for the muskrat is un
known on the coast. If allowed TO
multiply the alligator will make in
roads on the carp, the garfish and the
cottOn-mouth, all undesirable mem
bers of our fauna. The sum total of
the alligator's evil doing amounts to
this: He catches a dog now and then ;
once in a long while pulls a hog or
bites the tail off a cow, for sundry
stump-tailed cows along the Atlantic
Coast Line right OF way have met
misfortune In this way. The COW, the
dog and the hog are out of place when
the alligator can get at them; but
at best very little Of this happens

One day we received word that he
would arrive on a certain train, so

him out TO me and that l should meet
him alone.
When the train arrived they saw
him and told me he was wearing a

EPISCOPALIANS
FIX A MINIMUM
WAGE IN PULPIT

COLUMBIA, S. c., October s.
The dawn of a brighter day for
clergymen in the South, and the be-
ginning of movement to make the
ministry attractive as profession is
seen in the action of Episcopalians
in South Carolina in adopting the pol
icy of minimum wage for clergy
men.
The action, announced today, was
that of the South Carolina Dioces
committee of the Nation Wide Cam
paign of the Episcopal church for
more effective service. The scale
endorsed for South Carolina, to be
maze elective through the Nation
Wide Campaign is as follows:
White clergymen, married, 81 500
a year and rectory
White clergymen, unmarried, s.
500 year.
Negro clergymen, married, 81, 200
year and rectory.
Negro clergymen, unmarried, ST.
COO year.
This action is in line with gen
e'al movement throughout the Epis-
copal church for better salaries for
clergymen, to be made possible by
the Nationwide Campaign Of spirit
ra' awakening and realization of re-
81 onsibilities and opportunuitie for
broader helpfulness. Other South
ern dioceses have added tn their bud
gets of campaign needs, sums suffi-
cient to provide better salaries for
clergymen, but the action in South
Carolina is the first definite state
ment of figures believed necessary
to meet the higher cost of living and
to assure able men of comfortable
livelihood in the ministry.

is far below the maximum capacity.
The river pumping station is forced
to bear the entire brunt of furnish
ing the daily water supply and unless
the situation improves within the
next few days Atlanta will face a
rather serious condition of affairs.
Lack of rainfall and the delay in
delivery of the 28,000,O00 gallon
pumps which have been ordered for
almost year, are ascribed by the
authorities as the causes of the pres
ent situation. Rigid economy in the
use of water for household and
commercial use is urged in official
communications to the public.
