Omaha has had more or less seri-
Gus problem of unemployment during
the past year. During the past two
months conditions have grown worse.
Packing house laborers are paid AN
cents per hour. and this is from ~
70 1917 above that paid on the out
side. This further intensiies the
struggle for jobs and forces the speed
I'D pace to an almost super-human
degree.
Unrest spreads.
The spring Is always an uncertain
quantity Sor the packers. The pent-
up discomfort of the workers, and
their hatred Of the speed-up, SPY sys-
tenn, brutahzing work and the op-
pressive rules that keep them going
like machines or dumb cattle. is al
ways liable to break loose with the
approach of the warm months. The
packers know this, so the work of
their spies Is redoubled in order to
ferret out the least sign OF open dis
content or agitation. The skilled
workers especially are watched close
for signs, as the laborers readily fol
low the lead Of such workers in a
struggle against the packers.
Recently the secretary of Local 602,

the contractor bosses, and after three

Another member of Local 6o2, Jack

appointed to this office In spite Of the
fact that the whole delegation from
Omaha to the last convention were

The packers have tried to buy the
stock held by the workers, but with
very few exceptions the workers have
been loyal in spite OF the fact that
they badly need money.
Now the workers are trying to
keep Denny Lane, the secretary of
the International Butcher Workmen
and Meat Cutters Union. from getting
his hands on their building; for they
know he will sell 1t and use the
money to pay the large salaries Of
those do-nothing officials. Denny gets

KEEPING CLOSE
LOOKOUT FOR
NASSAU ROBBERS
BUNCH OF YEGGMEN LOOT
ING COLONIAL TREASURY
BEING SOUGHT BY AU-
ATHORITIES

The sheriff's forces and other
officers of the law in Key West
are keeping a sharp lookout on
the shoreline and waters surround
ing this city for suspicious looking
craft, with the aim of capturing
the bunch of yeggmen who dyna-
mited the treasury of Nassau early
Wednesday morning and made
their escape on a highpowered
speed boat with about $50, ,00e in
gold and silver money belonging
to the Colonial Government of
Nassau.
While officers here are on the
alert, they are of the opinion that
the robbers would not attempt to
land at any American point, but
think it more likely that the trea-
sure boat went in the direction of
Cuba and Jamaica.
Associated Press dispatches
state that the money stolen would
weigh about one ton, and consist
ed of American gold money, Eng
lish silver coin and currency of the
colony of Nassau. Some of the
coins are claimed by Nassau au-
thorities to be more than hum
dred years old.
Key West officers think that It
would be folly of the yeggmen to
try to dispose of their loot in
America, for the reason that
American gold is rarely seen in
circulation now and its appearance
would excite suspicion, while an
offer to dispose of English coin in
this country would Immediately
arouse curiosity. They are of The
opinion that arrangements were
made in advance. for the disp0si-
tion of this loot, and do not he
lieve that the plans contemplated
landing the boat at any American
port.

OF INTEREST TO

Captain John j. Maher, CON-
manding officer of the Coast De-
fenses of Key West, and the Key
West Barracks, is in receipt of an
official communication from Lieu
tenant w. @. Jeffords, Jr., artil-
lery engineer with headquarters
at Fort Barrancas, Pensacola,
Fla, in which it is stated that the
War Department is endeavoring
to make contact with the agencies
of the leading newspapers in or
der that publication may be made
of photographs of military SUBJ
jects which show to the public
the work of the military service,
and which are considered bene-
ficial to both.
In view of the fact that the 18th
Coast Artillery is the only Coast
Artillery Regiment stationed in the
south except in Virginia, that it
WIS organized in the south in
July, 1924. at Pensacola and Key
West, Florida, Charleston, S. c.,
and Galveston, Tex, and that the
outline in gold of the satire or
diagonal denotes this fact, that
the satire is taken from the bat
tie flag of the Confederacy and,
as only its outline appears on the
shield denotes a suggestion Of
the SOUTH. II issbelieved that both
the picture and the information
indicated therein is of a news
value in Key West.
The 18th Coast Artillery was
given its colors in a brilliant
ceremony held recently in Pensa-
cola on an alspicious occasion
that brought forth all the poinp
and splendor of military events.
The ceremonies were impressive
with their grandeur in the color

FRANK H. LADD
CANDIDATE FOR
STATE SENATOR
MAKES FORMAL. ANNOUNCE.
MENT IN COLUMNS OF THE
CITIZEN TO-DAY FOR JUNE
PRIMARY RACE

Of considerable interest to
voters in the 24th Senatorial Dis
trict is the announcement appear
ing elsewhere in the columns of
The Citizen of the candidacy of
Frank Fl. Ladd for Senator from
that district, subject to the June
primaries.
Mr.. Ladd has been in the pub
lie eye for the past sixteen years,
having served as Councilman of
Key West for two terms; as State
Representative from 1920 to
1921 and as Mayor of Key West
for two terms from 1921 to 1925.
During his political career, he
has had many and varied ex-
periences, has come in close con-
tact with leading statesmen of the
State of Florida, and has been sue
cessful almost without exception
in all of his endeavors in the in
terests of his constituency.
He has the unique experience
of having been installed as mayor
of Key West during a year which
was probably the darkest ever
known in the history of the city
and after assisting in its trans
position to a prosperous COM
munity, stepping out with a clean
slate, leaving city finances ap-
proximately a million dollars in
better condition than at the be-
ginning of his first term, four
years previously.
Mr.. Ladd has been dominant
factor among workers for the
Oversee Highway, which has,
due largely to his efforts, now
assumed tie prospect of a reality
instead Of dream.
His many friends are predicting
his victory.
