OMAHA, Eeb~, March AT last the

promise TO treat the public to an airing
of the real reasons Wood has not per

Pershing, it is stated, and not Presi-
dent Wilson, was the man who decided
Wood should remain on this side Of the
Atlantic
Woods friends say Pershins hoped TO
capitalize his army leadership into the
presidency and kept Wood at home to
handicap him politically.
Pershing's friends retort that Pershing
Gidn't want Wood abroad because he felt
FIRST, that Woods health wouldn't
stand up under the strain of service
conditions;
SECOND, he didn't consider Wood
qualified for division leadership and
was really befriending him, saving
him from exposing his weakness TO

THIRD, that Pershing considered
Wood a politician rather than a war

LABOR OPPOSES
BILL AUTHOR
IZING UNIONS

Toxic, Aug. 1G.-Japanese labor is
expressing opposition to a proposed
measure authorizing labor unions
which the government says will be in
troduced into the Diet. At present Ia
Dor unions as known in other cOun-
tries are not permitted by law.
Representatives Of different labor as
sociatiOns in Toxic have adopted a
resolution declaring that the bill, as
they interpret it, is so framed as to
frustrate the real development of la-
bOr. The memorial adds that the law
that would really satisfy the workers
and that is really in great need must
recognize the right Of negotiating in a
body and the right of going on strike
whenever occasion requires.
The government bill in question COM
pletely ignored these rights and ac-
cOrding to the memorial was therefore
calculated to encourage complica-
tion Of the labor problems.

few VIOLATIONS OF
AUTO LICENSE LAWS
Believe all Cars in Hamilton
County Complying With
Law.

As far as can be aScertained, there
are no automobiles being run in Ham
ilton county without the 1920 license
plates, according to county authOri-
ties. Careful watch has been kept in
seeing that all provisions of the law are
enforced and authorities believe that
all autOes being used in this county
have the 1920 licenses.
There are how on the road, accord
ing to information from the state
department, several special agents who
will endeavor to cover the entire state
within the next few months, but Ham
ilton county officials do not believe it
necessary for them to come to this
county.
The use of 'car in transit" and iii
cense applied for" cards should he pro-
hibited except that the latter may be
used on new ears after the applicant
has made the application to the county
treasurer for registration. They can
be used under no other circumstances.
Parties with one plate are required to
Immediately make application for du-
plicate.
All county treasurerS now have suf-
ficient number Of plates to supply all
demands and there is now no reason
why the law should not be enforced.
