Paris, Aug. Samuel Gompers,
president Of the American Federation
Of Labor, today declared in favor OF
naturalization of American railways
and labor's demand. for an equal voice
in their administration.
T" American railway workers intend
not only to compel the government 10
take over the railways, but win demand
as the logical next step that labor BE-
granted permanent equal voice in rail.

an interview.
The railways must be brought un-
der suitable control, made up of the gov.
crnment, laborers and technical experts.
At present mono of these elements has a
real voice in any matter of Importance
concerning the railways.
The first step in changing the stu
alton would be for the government to
take over the lines. The next step
would be taking representatives Of labor
and representatives. Of the owners Into
the administrative council.

pected that man like McAdoo, who
had not the slightest knowledge Of rail
roading, would be able to handle the
even in peace time.
" Although ! am ready to admit am
not positive that government control
would right all present wrongs, will
back up the demand of the federation
that a real trial be given when control
is taken. We win insist that rail ex.
perts not merely politicians, be placed
In charge Of technical questions.
Solution of the whole problem rests
with cooperation Of three heretofore
interests-labor, government

fled in It's present steps, as II has not
received the slightest consideration in
the past. Our opponents claims that
wages have ben sufficiently increased

The recent death Of Andrew Carnegie
calls attention to the fact that through
the generosity of the great ironmaster
Salem now has one of the finest city
libraries in the state outside Of Port
land. For it Was Mr.. Carnegie, through
the Carnegie Corporation, that gave Il
the city s27 500 for erection Of the
Salem library building on State street
The Salem Women 5 Club was organ
lied primarily that some one might
take an interest in such an institution
The club held an informal discussion
as to ways and means of securing a
city public library ia 1909. A commit
tee Of Is women was appointed to in.

short time they found there was no in
terest in such a library with many op.

In 1904 a new committee was ap-
pointed with Mrs. Caroline L. b. Kel.
liner as chairman. A book social was
held early in the year and 80 books do.
mated. This was the nucleus Of the
Salem public library.
An effort was then made 10 secure
reem in the city hall for the small
library but the couneilmen were not in
favor Of q library. Bat F. W. Waters,
who was mayor. was ia sympathy with
the women in their efforts and finally
in November 1904. a small space was
given in the east end Of the council
room. The wsmen had to furnish the
room and ten friends pledged $500 a
month TO paw for magazines. The eoun-
ell was hostile.

"The war has interrupted industr,
and made many conditions abnormal. Il
is responsible for the high cost Of living
by causing great scarcity of sll neces

remedy is in orderly industry. The
whole situation win right itself as pro

"The country went through similar
situation after our Civil war. At first
there was scarcity and high prices, but
when industry was fully resumed we
had long period of falling prices. II

not keep pace with commodities when

Strike Is Labor'S Bio Test

"If we are to have an autocracy
in America it should be military
one rather than a labor autocracy."
declared Ward M. Burgess, Omaha
business man, who represented the
public. at the recent labor confer
ence at Washington, D. c., in a
talk at the University club yester-
day.
PERSONALLY l am glad the coal
strike occurred continued Mr..
Burgess. 1--WE have got to meet the
situation and we may as well meet
it now. Although officials at WASH
ington said there was no danger OF
bolshevism spreading in this coun-
try, labor leaders attending the con-
ference intimated that unless they
were granted great concessions they
would lose control of the situation
to the radicals"
Mr.. Burgess gave vivid descrip-
ton of the conference. At no time
was there a possibility of any sort
of an agreement being reached, he
said. No program was mapped out
for the conference, and there was
nothing tangible to consider.

BIG DEMAND FOR
SEATS TO HEAR
VATICAN CH0IRS
Advance Sale Of Tickets
Largest Of Any Musical
Event Ever Held
in City.

The advance demand for seats for
the Vatican choirs, who appear at
the city Auditorium Saturday night,
is the largest of any musical concert
ever held in this city, according to
those in charge of the concert.
1t is also said that more mail or
der sales have been made to out-of
town people than to any other con-
cert. Orders have been received
from every part of Nebraska and
Iowa, and many parts of the Da-
kotas and Wisconsin.
One of the largest reservations is
that of Archbishop J. Harry, who
will have special box and have as
his guests the so members of the
choir of ST. Cecelia's church. Many
reservations of parties from four
to 10 in number have been made.
Lower Seat Prices.
Omaha is the only city in the tour
of the choirs where any seats have
been sold at price lower than 81.
1t was at the suggestion of Bishop
Harry that 500 seats were put on
sale for ST. ...--.
One of the principal numbers of
the concert is the number in which
every musical instrument is success
fully initiated by the choir. This IS
one of the special numbers and is
said to be one of their best. In
struments, even to the drums, are
wonderfully initiated by the choirs,
The choirs will arrive in Omaha
Saturday afternoon at and will go
directly to the City hall where they
will be welcomed by the mayor.
They will then sing one number i'll

choirs is to meet the mayor of each
CITY they visit.

Go members, 10 of whom are or
dained priests and several members
are small boys varying in ages from
8 to IA years. The choir is COM
posed of the Roman basilicas made
up of all the principal churches in
Rome.
This is the first time in the 1000
years of the choir that they have left
Italy. In their tour of the United
States only the larger cities are Wis
tied on account of their short stay
in this country. They leave New
York for Rome December s.
