Washington, Feb. 6.-The Wash

traffic regulations with a.vengeance.
Hundreds of motorists were arrest

President and Mrs. Wilson went
for drive in Potomac park during

that the speedway be circled from

White House car entered the speed

That has been and is the plain
OF out-state legislators when Omaha
disputes come before them.

TO give itself additional power in
handling electric light matters.
Omaha Against the Bill.
Insofar as Omaha opinion has ex-
pressed itself. through elective Off
GERS and civic bodies, it is pointed
out that it is against the bill.
The lower houe delegation
from Douglas county stands 8 to
8 against the bill, with one non
committal
Mayor Smith. who made pub \,
lie ownership OF public utilities
a plank of his platform. is em-
phatically against the bill.
The Omaha Real Estate board.
which stood with the water
board in earlier campaigns, is
against the bill by the decisive
vote of 46 to 2l.
None of the various active
civic organizations has indorsed
the bill.
An analysis of the three favorable
votes on the Douglas county dele
CATION makes the showing still more
striking. OF the three, one is that

o: F. D. Wead, member OF the
water board. This leaves but two
Of the twelve Douglas county mem
bers favorable to the bill, after per-
sonal connections are eliminated.
Men of Independent Views.
In past years. water board legisla-
ton has sometimes won against
Douglas county opposition on the
plea that the delegation was ma
chiuc made" and not truly represen-
tative Of the electorate. That argu.
ment, even supporters of House Roll
No. 1. admit does not apply against
the present Douglas county delega-
ton. The personnel has won higf,
tribute from out-state members. who
assert that it out-ranks any Douglas
county delegation in recent years IN
the ability and independence of its
members.
A further evidence OF present pub
lie sentiment in Omaha toward the
water board, is cited in the defeat
of Charles r. Sherman, a veteran OF
the board, when he was a candidate
for reelection last yea. 1t was the
first time since Omaha has owned
the waterworks that member OF
the board has beer defeated when he
sought reelection. The Douglas
county majority believe that Sher-
mans defeat at the same election
which named them to the legislature
is sufficiently indicative OF what
Omaha thinks OF further extensions
OF water board policies.

3. That the daily wage rates being paid by

in Of any wage rates paid to employees in any
other craft requiring like skill, apprenticeship and
ability;
4. That if the wages of the coal mine employees
reduced to reasonable extent and if the
pondng reduction made in the price of COAL it would
tend materially toward placing employment and indus
tries upon nearly normal basis.
The plain meaning of the last paragraph of this
that if the Colorado Fuel and Iron company and its
miners permitted to put into effect the reasonable
and lawful arrangement they have made for the reduc
ton of wages, the price of coal will be reduced in
Pueblo, and Pueblo factories idle will be able to
start work, and Pueblo workers now idle will be
employed.
The right of every worker to belong TO union
if he desires and the right of every worker to quit
or to strike individual or group should not
be questioned and it is not questioned in this decision.
On the other hand the people of southern Colorado
have right to demand that coal miners who wish to
work under conditions satisfactory TO them shall not
be prevented from doing by outside intimidation
