OMAHA OFFICIALS
HAVE NO DIRECT
WORDOF ASTRIKE
Say Their Only Information
Comes From Newspapers
No Coal Shortage Feared.

Railroad officials in Omaha have
received no information from Wash
ington regarding negotiations be-
tween railroad brotherhoods and
the administration. or the 'possibil-
ity of a general strike.
we are waiting now to get
definite information," G. w. Loomis,
chief clerk of the Burlington rail
road, declared yesterday. Until
then | cannot comment on the situ-
alton. OF course. the railroad ad-
ministration alone is handling the
situation.'
H. ]. Plumhof, assistant to the
federal manager OF the Union Pa
cihc railroad, also declared that no
definite information from Washing
ton had been received.
Our only sources OF 'inlorma-
ton are the newspapers, he ex-
planned. IF general walkout does
occur every place i'll the country
probably will be tied up until the
matter is settled. Fortunately,
spring is near and there is little
danger of another serious coal
shortage
w. II. Guild, assistant to the gen
eral manager OF the Union Pacific,
said there was a large quantity of
coal in the Omaha terminals, and
even if shipment were stopped the
quantity probably would last until
moderate weather is assured.

Spring is here!
- This startling statement was made
by Arthur Thomas, manager of the
Chamber of Commerce bureau OF
publicity, yesterday morning.
w. A. Ellis, assistant commits
sioner of the chamber, overhearins
the remark, laughed scornfully.
This is fine morning to be
springing that" he growled, point
ing to dark overcast sky and slam
ming a window to shut out cold
breeze.
"Yet my assertion is true" con-
tinued Mr.. Thomas blithefully, and
removed his coat" l have the
proof. As l came to work this
morning l not only saw a robin, but
a group of small boys playing
marbles. And last night l was

IT'S not an encouraging world

clated Rev. Frank G. Smith, adj
dressing the closing meeting of the
state convention of the Y. NJ. c. A.
at the association building yesterday
China, Japan, Russia, India, tn :
countries Of Europe are seethng.
Our own counry is in the receding
shadow of steel strike that was
never settled, a coal strike that left
its bad feeling. and is now confront
ed with threatened railroad strike.
Debt and hunger face the world.
Hatred and distrust are honey
combing it. The imaginary COL
lapse of the old props of the world,
civilization, education and religion
are in the minds of the people. Ev-
erywhere is the idea that our boast
ed civilization is not the solid ma
hogany we imagined, but simply a
thin veneer.
The awakening Of depressed mil
lions in China, Russia, India is
bringing its vast problems. The in
tensihed idealism of war days which
pointed TO an ideal world of beauty,
peace and happiness is having its
reaction in a world that seems to
have none of these promised things.
I'm these times, poise, tolerance,
universal education, cooperation
and universal service must be the
watchwords of the Y. M. c. A.
Faith must be restored. Faith is
the one thing upon which we can de-
pend in these times. If nations and
individuals have faith in each other
many of our perplexing problems
will be solved"
Group conferences were held yes
