Dennis Lane, secretary OF the

"All attempts to negotiate fair
adjustment of wage rates by offering
an agreement providing for arbitra-
ton between packers and the en-
ployes have failed. The joint exec

ternational unions affected do now
advise, in accordance with the strike
vote of the rank and file, that all

railway carmen, coopers, carpenters,

New State Seal
IsDecided Upon
By Commission
Civil War Veterans Win Fight
To Retain Words Equality
Before the Law on
New Design.

Lincoln, Dec. 1.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Fate Of the old state seal Of
Nebraska was sealed today.
Following meeting of a commit
tee appointed to receive and pass on
a new state seal, George Williams
OF Fairmont, chairman. announced
that it had been officially decided
to adopt another seal to supplant the
one which had adorned state docu-
ments since territorial days.
Retain Motto.
Opponents of the proposed change,
chiefly G. A. R. men, carried one
point, as Williams stated that the
words Equality before the Law" "
appearing on the old seal, would be
on the new.
The design of the new seal would
not be disclosed tonight, Williams
stating that picture and a descrip-
ton of the committees adoption
would be given out in due time.
Will Be Up-to-Date.
The old seal Is clear out Of date,
say its assailants. 1t pictures a
blacksmith, a steamboat and a rail
road train of ancient design.
They suggest that a new seal
should show an airpiane, a garage
and an auto truck.
Why not put on a jazz orchcs-
ira and couple OF 5ootleggers.
too:'' is the ironic inquiry Of oppon-
.ents Of the new seal plan Pioneers
of the state and many others de-
clare that the seal should be left
as it is. an eternal reminder Of the
humbleness from which a great state
has been built.
