New Police Ordinance
!. Would Disorganize
Force, Says Ringer

A proposed ordinance whick
Commissioner Ringer declared
would disorganize police discipline
was presented to the city council
yesterday by Sergeant Lyman
Wheeler of the Omaha police force,
acting on behalf of the men of th'
force.
The ordinance provides tina,
changes of classification, promotions
or demotion can be made by tho
chief of police, with the consent Of
the superintendent of police. In
each case the chief must submit to
the man concerned written state
ment of the reasons for the action.
The man would then be allowed to
reply in writing, and could also ap-
peal his case to the city council.
where action would be final. The
proposed ordinance also would
change seniority regulations. The
men of the force hold that the meas-
ure would prevent favoritism in pro-
noting undeserving men or demot-
ing those not deserving reductions.
Commissioner Ringer declared
the ordinance would restrict the au-
thority of the police chief and that
he would oppose any MEASURE with
that possibility. He stated that he
favors extending the authority of
the chief in regard to disposition and
handling of the force.

ton made from material supplied

The ambassadorial letter, ad-
dressed to Henry S. Bernhard, head
of the association, read:
"I am instructed by the president
of the republic to inform you that
he sincerely appreciates the motives
of syour offer, on behalf of Ameri-
can milliners, of a specially devised
hat for Madame Deschanel He
Joins those interested in the scheme
in hoping that, in this, too, namely,
question concerning both trade
and art, the two countries will more
and more work together to their
common advantage.
"As for the gift itself, since it is
not possible for Madame Deschanel
to receive. under such conditions,
any gift of value. the president begs
you not to realize your intention for
which he begs me, however, to ten
der you his sincere thanks" \'

carnation are also being prepared as
substitutes in great many cities.

BANKERS DO NOT
FAVOR LOANS TO
U. 5. RAILROADS
Declare, However, That No
Great Part of $610,000,-
900 Can be Secured
From Public.

Washington, May 7.-Bankers
called before the senate interstate
commerce committee did not agree
with testimony of railway executives
yesterday that the government
shosld loan $500,0G0,000 additional to
the roads for new rolling stock.
They said, however, that no great
part of the $ol0000000 which the
railroad presidents estimated to be
necessary for new equipment. could
be raised from the public.
Jerome G. Hanauer of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co.. New York, chairman of the
committee of investment bankers
suggested that congress extend the
period of $500,000,000 loan already
provided for the roads from FIVE to
Is years; that some money be used
in the betterment of terminals and
that the roads be so managed as to
expedite the movement of cars and
reduce to a minimum requirements
for new equipment"
Chairman Cummins asked the
opinion of the witness on a plan OF
giving a government guarantee tot
the payment of interest and principa'
on sums borrowed by the railroads
for new equipment.
The securities issued would then
sell entirely OH the credit of the gov.
ernment," Mr.. Hanauer replied, land
carrying much higher rate of i'll
terest would badly affect the value
of Liberty bonds and all other out,
standing obligations OF the United
States. In addition, this would
make it impossible for railroads to
borrow money for other needs OF
their own credit"
Mr.. Hanauer told the committee
that "any extended purchases oi
equipment by railroads at the pres
ent high price, financed by the is,
sue of securities at the present high
rates, would naturally impose a
serious burden on the roads, AND
therefore on the communities they
serve"

Brotherhoods Present Exhaus.
tive Data to Refute Charge
That Labor Costs Are Re-
sponsibIe for High Prices.
CALLS ATTENTION TO
WAR-MADE MuLlONAlRES
Report Cites Extraordinary In
crease in Sugar; Result of
Boost Is Pictured in Net
Profits of II Companies.

Washington, May IA study OF
profteering in American industry,
made under the auspices of the
railway brotherhoods. was pre-
sented to the railroad labor board
today in support of the railway
workers demand for higher pay and
to refute the charge that increased
labor costs are responsible for the
high cost of Lying.
Prepared by w. J. Lauck, FORMER
secretary of the war labor board,
the study seeks to show that
prohteering in industry is the fun
damental cause for high prices. 1t
gives many statistics to support that
contention.
Calling attention to the many war
made millionajres, the study con-
tends that the increase i'll the wealth
of the wealthy is an "unanswer-
able" refutation to all attempts to
charge labor with prohteering. For,
if invested wealth gets a larger re-
turn" says the study, "the man who
gives personal service or labor is
bound to get small proportion.
Cite Rise of Sugar.
OF the extraordinary increase in
the price of sugar, now amounting
to 800 per cent, the study says the
increase i'll labor cost paid by the
consumer was less than IS per cent.
The result of advanced prices, ac-
cording to the quoted reports of II
companies, was pictured in the net
profits of these concerns, which, it
was said, rose from an average of
$ll 100000 during the years 1912
1914 to $34,000,000@ for the years
1916-19l8.
In the meat packing industry,
where profits were said to have i'll
creased between 800 and 400 per
cent, the labor item was shown so
small that a wage increase of 100
per cent would add less than 5 per
cent to the total cost of the meat.
The increase in price between 1914
and 1918 was shown as eight times
the total labor cost and the, 1918
price represented Is times the total
labor item
Profits absorb approximately one
half the. retail price of certain kinds
of cloth, the report declared, while
the labor item amounts to from one
fourteenth to one-twentieth of the
price. Similar relations were pic
tured in the manufacture of mems
garments. &
Shoes Are Good Example.
Shoes, according to the study,
furnished a splendid opportunity
for the prohteer. The profit items
in 1914, it was charged, absorbed
nearly one-half the price paid by
the consumer, or nearly three times
the total labor cost, while i'll 1917
the profit items amounted to ap-
proxialate1y three-hfths of the total
price and over five times the total
labor cost
