rnately 100000 men are on strike
throughout the country, it was est
mated here yesterday.
Based on incomplete returns to the
Labor Department, figures of the
American Federation of Labor and
newspaper reports, this estimate is
considered fairly accurate in the alb
sence of more authenticated figures.
More than 100000 men are affected
directly and Indirectly by strikes
,ockouts and controversies reported to
the Labor Department for mediation
Officials pointed out that the total
number of strikes throughout the

country must be far above this figure
because the Labor Department is ask
ing to mediate only in a small per-
centage Of cases.
Labor Department figures include
no reference to the strike of Brook
lyn carmen and the files contain only
one or two strikes in New York, al
though New York officials estimate
that 10 separate strikes now are
going on there.
Thousands of mac1linists are on
strike in and around Chicago in ad-
t;ition to 10000 who are said to have
cult work in railroad shops.

could be expected in that abnomin-,

hear some complaint from both Of
6cers and men OF, the want of sup
plies of all kinds while the fighting
was going on. The supply of food,
clothing, and especially shoes,
caused much suffering.
"In talking with the enlisted men
/ found invariably they were op-.
posed to universal military training,
and that as a rule both officers, and
men wished TO have as little to do
with European quarrels as possible
Occupied Germany presents a
marked contrast even to that part
of France which has not been de-
vastated. France seems stunned by
her misfortunes and is short of man
power by reason of so many men
being still retained in the army,
while in that part Of Germany which
| saw, business was more active than
I had expected, but everywhefe bust
ness is restricted and held up by the
failure to obtain definite peace
and even a start toward normal con-
ditions cannot be made until peace
is declared.
Conditions Bad.
internal conditions are bad, both
in France and in Belgium. The So
.eialists would revolt if they thought
they could make revolt successful
The Belgian authorities told us that
in their small country there were at
least 1,000,000,000 out of employ
ment and in France there would be
many more if the army is deinob-
ilized IL
France has been waiting for the
payment of indemnity from Ger
many, instead of taking active meas
ures to restore conditions. At the
same time it must be acknowledged
that the country is SO exhausted that
the problems of restoration seem al
most insuperable.

Predict Industrial
Growth for Florence;
Lower Freight Rates

The Omaha district freight traffic
committee has received notice from
the railroad administration that after
80 days notice.. tariffs will be pub
lished, placing Florence within the
Omaha freight switching district.
: The fact that Florence, is to come
within the limits of the switching
districts is hailed with Joy around
the Chamber of Commerce, as it is
predicted that this means the build
ing up of another industrial center in
the near future. Formerly the
switching charge between Omaha
and Florence was S. to SIS a car,
the commodities within the cars
regulating the charges. With the
high switching charges it was said
to have been impossible to build up
an industrial district along the
tracks between North, Omaha and
Florence.
Chamber of Commerce business
men assert that there>is now an
opportunity to develop a manufac-
turing area that can be made one of
the most important in the central
west. There are miles of sidings
and spur tracks and thousands of
acres of available level land ad-
,iacent thereto.

perience in these cases, / do not hes
itate to say that this Wholesale ad-
ministration not only is unnecessary,
but absolutely ridiculous. 1t is cruel
to the patient, who wants to be
cured. It>cannot be too strongly
condemned. / am positive no re-
spansible authority would sanction
such method"
A. E. Patton, superintendent OF
the Douglas county hospital, where
prisoners addicted to the drug habit
frequently are sent to await trial for
violating the Harrison drug act, de-
clared no morphine or cocaine age
given the inmates from the time Of
their entrance at the institution.
I'VE have treated cases of the
most severe nature" said Mr.. Pat
ton. Indeed, some of them SEEM
ed almost hopeless.
No Drugs Given.
Asked to explain his method OF
Treatment, Mr.. Patton declared he
did not give any Of the prisoners or
patients a single grain Of cocaine or
morphine. I'VE deny them narcotic
drugs from the day of their en-
trance" he said. This is done
upon the orders of physicians. 1t
is being done in thousands of other
institutions throughout the country,
and authoritative opinion has pro-
nounced it the very best method"
Mr.. Patton declared that the pa
tient suffered, sometimes severely
for three or four days, but never
had he known anywhere of single
permanent i'll effect on anyone as
a. result of having been shut off
suddenly from cocaine or morphine.
They suffer, some of them more
than others" he said "They crave
drugs and cry for them, but ! have
never known of case where this
longing and suffering did not cease
at the end of four days. Some OF
them overcome their desire in two
days. Others conquer themselves
in more or less time.
Regain Their Health.
At the end of three or four days
invariably their eyes begin tc
brighten, they begin to gain Aesl
and color comes into their faces. !,
I'm so days the most severe cases
have ever seen have been cured
completely. have never known i
to take longer than 80 days to cur.

have no other ailrnent. 1t iSS tru.
they frequently go back to the habit

Baricades Erected
To Hold Germans in
Bounds at Versailles;

Versailles, May 3.-(By The Asso-
GATED Press. 1.-THE erection of bar
ricades in "the German quarter" of
Versailles designed to prevent any
OF the Germans from straying off
the section assigned to them, began
this morning.
The barbados consist of wooden
palings bound with wire and set
upon both sides of the Rue Des
Reservoirs, one side of which is re-
served for the Germans, while the
opposite side has, been left free for
residents. Strict control will be es-
tablished at all the exits to prevent
the Germans from going out of
bounds without authority
These strict measures were con-
sidered necessary because of the
Discrimination of some of the sub
ordinates in the German party to
Obey the regulations prescribed for
their movements.
Despite the official denial, it is
generally known that atf1east two
correspondents of German newspa-
,,pers previously stationed at Paris,
visited that city and attended a
theatrical performance.

French Censors Busy
When Papers Comment
on Peace Conference

That a censorship is in effect in
Europe, so far as newspapers are
concerned, is borne out by an ex-
animation of the Paris edition of
the Chicago Tribune. In a recent
edition of that paper, special wri-
ter, Henry Wales, has first page
story relative to the doings of the
peace conference.
The first three lines of the story
make reference to President Will
