ment, including April Fool stunts, the
object of the party being to get the
people of this district together in a

better feeling among everyone.
For some time huge committee
has been working en- the plans for
tbs party, and this committee in
cludes representatives of the rail-
road, box factory, dynamite plant,
ship yard, coal dock, excelsior fac
tory, farmers and business and pro-
fessional men and from the way the
tickets have been sold it is doubtful
if the YMCA will be large enough
to accommodate the crowds, but this
should not stop anyone from at
tending for III crowd there is
sociability and the committee will
do their utmost to see that every

The entire building will be thrown

penses.
So come t othe YMCA on Friday
evening and join in the big time.

GIRL SCOUTS TAKE HIKE.

Troop 2 and 8 Of the Washburn
Girl Scouts, in charge of Mrs. P. w.
Picklesimer, took ten mile hike on
Wednesday of this week. It was not
the intention to take so ,ong hike
at this time of the year, but the
party lost their bearings and had
to go over part of the same ground
twice.
The party started out Washington
avenue, intending to cut across by
way of the Hoekdanner farm to the
Sioux River station on the Omaha,
but lost their way in the farming
country near Sioux river and this
made the mileage considerable more
than was planned.
The hike was started at nine o'clock
in the morning and dinner was cook
ed along the road over camp fires.
The party arrived at the 500 station
just before train time and arrived
in this city at six O'Clock, 'pretty ex-
hausted after the long trip. About
thirty members composed the party.

held in our city in some time was
given at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Jake Segal on Sunday evening of
the week by Benjamin Chatkin, in
honor of Mr.. Segal's 46th birthday,

complete surprise to Mr.. Segal.
While Mr.. Segal was absent from
the home during the afternoon the
place was most beautifully decorated,
the color scheme of yellow and white
being carried out throughout the en-
tire house. Yellow and white baskets
were hung around the lights and
streamers were strung from the
lights to all corners of the rooms,
giving the house yellowish-white
cast. The flowers were red and
white carnations and jonquils, which
adored vases and were strewn about
the rooms.
When Mr.. Segal arrived home the
guests greeted him with the blowing
of tiny whistles, adorned with fuzzy
rabbits and tiny chicks, and gave him
royal welcome. As the guests join
ed in the welcome string confetti
was thrown among the guests until
all were entangled in the woven mass
of colored paper.
Dinner was served at o'clock,
tables being arranged with places
for four at each, and the place cards
consisted of fuzzy chicks, bunny
rabbits, etc., with Easter cards at
each place. A most sumptuous
course dinner was served.
During the evening dancing was
indulged in by the younger people
while the older people enjoyed cards
and other amusemehts. The follow
ing guests were present: Mr.. and
Mrs. I. C. Schwager, Mr.. and Mrs.
Leon Schwager, Miss Ida Kohn,

In the preliminary game, the Mid
get Second team, of Ashland, clean
ed Up on the Scouts Second Team
b ythe score of 18 to IL. The first
half was noticeable for loose guard
ing nthe part of the Scouts, and
Midgets were quick to seize the adj
vantage. On the other hand, the
Scouts couldn't seem to penetrate the
Midget defense. In the second
half, the Scouts made out better,
thanks to Torbol's fine work, but
couldn't overcome the lead. Soshea
played hard game ,and scored four
field goals. Peavey played his first
game with the Scout Seconds, and
seemed to be handicapped by having
to work with strange team.

Southern Road Demanded
Wage Slash-Held Back.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-Two million rail-
road employees should voluntarily cut
their wages, in the opinion of railroad
executives meeting here today to dis
cuss the labor and wage situation.
w. G. Besler, president of the New
Jersey Central railroad and a member
of the labor committee of the Associa-
tion of Railroad Executives. urged the
employees to take this action to bring
the nation out of the rail tangle. He
said this view was held by many other
railroad executives.
Besler, in an exclusive interview
given out. as he was going into the
meeting of railroad executives, said:
Arbitrary Cut Would Hurt.
'An arbitrary cut in wages for our
employees would hurt. They should get
together and tell the management they
ARE willing to accept little less.
William Lee, president of the Rail-
way Trainmen. is on record as saying
it is not high wages that employees
want, out purchasing power. The dol
lar has greater purchasing power
today"
No recommendation for drastic
slashes in wages will come out of the
conference, if Beslers opinions are fol-
flowed out.
Its mighty poor business to under
pay labor he said. 'If fair wages
are paid, we get the cream of the labor

Are Preparing r. r.. Case.
| Five men barricaded themselves in
a hotel room today to draw up a case
designed to prove that the wages OF
/ two million railroad employees should
be slashed.
| The five holding the conference
comprise the labor committee of the
Association of Railway Executives.
| The case they draw up will be pre-
Isented to the standing committee o1
the association. This body. after pass
ling on it, will make their presentation
in the form of a petition, to the United
Estates railroad labor board.
TO Hold Public Hearing.
The railroad board-the supreme
court of railroad capital and labor
will hold a public hearing on the peti
ltion before reaching a decision.
Not until the railroad problem is set

orally admit.
Normally will come when the rail
road problem is solved for the foul

Only Woman in Congress.
Miss Robertson win be the only wo-
man with a right to a chair in the

Washington in March. No ambition

she said. 1t was only when becorn-

ion of Republican leaders. who could
