Discrimination.

NEW YORK-President VIM. Green
of the American Federation Of Labor
has written to the National Associa-

BILL GREEN, CANDIDATE FOR
COUNTY SURVEYOR ENDORSED
BY THE GOODFELLOWS CLUB OF,
ONE THOUSAND

ONE THOUSAND
The Gbodfellows club of 100 has in
creased its number to 500 registered
Of both democrats and republicans, 70
William tBill" Green as County Su
ysyor.
Mr.. John A. Woods, president Of tn
Club, says on investigation of the re
cords in Douglas County Court House
he cannot find the vouchers or pay
ckecBa for the five Negroes that the
speaker at the IL" Garage claimed in
voters of the second and seventh ward
his talk, worked in the County Surve
or's office under the present County
Surveyor. Mr.. Wood says every Ne
gro in Douglas County should investi
gate the record Of Bill Green for his
qualifications and his fairness in givin
the Negroes f Omaha, not a z per cent
but a ID per cent Mr.. Green says the
Negro has been kept out of his pro-
rata so long that if it is doubled, now
would be no more than fair. Mr.
Woods says Bill Green will carry tn
second third wards five to one.
The Goodfellows Club Of 1000 has
made q check of the candidates for
Public officers, having in mind at the
time of the investigation to acquain
the voting public Of the merits and
qualifications of the respective candi
dates.
Do you know that the three hundre
POSITIONS are available in the County
Surveyors office? At the present tim
none of these ppositions are held by a
colored voter, caused by the fact tina
during the past 13 years we have plac
ed a man in office who has turnetnhis
back on us when it came time to fill
these positions. Are we going to co
tinue to support men who do not civ
us representation? The time ha
come for the colored voters Of Omaha
to SAY mo"
William "Bill" Green, has been fai
in the past, and we can depend upon
him in the. future. Bill Green, during
his II yrs. as foreman of the Omaha
Street Cleaning Department, tnde
Dean Noyes, had employed more col
ored employees than any other depart
ment of our city government. Not be
cause they were colored, but because
as he says, they were dependable, an
rendered efficient service.
Bill Green says that if elected Com
ty Surveyor he will continue the sam
policy of giving colored voters their
share of representation, and will be
given jobs based upon our ability to
perform them.
Such a fair statement deserves the
support of every colored voter in tn
city and county. We, the Goodfellows
Club of LOO, urge our friends to vote
and work on the election of Bill Gree
for County Surveyor Of Douglas Cou
ty.

Railroad Trackage and Cars
Decline for Third Year

ably reduced, but thi s resulted
from an improvement in design
and operating efficiency that per-
mitted the roads to carry their
peak tonnage in 1929 with fewer
cars than in 1925. During the
past three years, of course, many
cars we're scrapped in economy
programs and never replaced be-
cause of continued subnormal
traffic.
Freight cars in service at the
close of 1888 had dropped to a
total of 100000, against 2,144,-
73O in 1882, and a peak Of 1887"
234 in 1925. A further Substan-
tial decrease in cars is fore"
Swallowed for this year by scrap
ping programs now underway or
already accomplished, notwith-
standing the heavier buying Of
rolling stock in the past few
months.
And in the case of locomotives,
a similar trend exists, although to
d S1CdG CAICAlC G11C 1COU1O VI OCNLAAAA~
cal improvements. AS the num-
Der of units was reduced, the trac-
tive power per locomotive has ad.
vanced proportionately.
The class l carriers had $1,000
locomotives at the end of the year.
against 53,316 in 1882, and $3.50
in the peak year 1924. From 1924
to 1888, inclusive, however, trac.
tive power per unit had jumped
from 1891 to 46,500 pounds.
How greatly the railroads re-
trenched as the depression con-
tinued is shown in the figures re.
vealing total capital expenditures
in 1888 of only sos, 947 900, q
drop of 38 per cent from 1882.
Below 1881 and 88 per cent from

$4,000 SILVER.
o.. TURNED IN
At n. !.

NEW YORK, Aug. is ON.SO.
Receipt of instructions from Wash
ington yesterday for the delivery
of silver under the naturalization
program brought a total of 147,-
900 ounces to the New York Assay
Office up to the colse of business
last night. On day the
amount received was $4,000
ounces, making a total of $4,000
ounces surrendered since the Gov
eminent announced seizure of the
metal at pric of 59.01 an ounce.
1t became known also that
banks holding silver contracts Of
the Commodity Exchange have
raised objections to the terms of
liquidation of such contracts set
tied at 1895 when the exchange
suspended trading in futures last
week.
Refuse to Settle
Some of the banks were re-
ported refusing to liquidate such
contracts, as ordered by the Com
modify Exchange, demanding tf at
the interests which sold them the
contracts shall deliver the silver
as provided in the contract. Their
reason for taking that attitude
was said to be the commission
which the Commodity Exchange
is exacting for liquidation Of open
contracts.
Commissions involved in the
dispute amount to only .0006
cents an ounce but on contract
for $4,000 ounces. the sum totals
SIS a contract.
Threaten Suit
Some bankers were reported to
have threatened to take the cues
ton to the courts for settlement
rather than pay a double COM
mission.
Bankers were represented as of
the opinion that if the commits
Sions should be RENTED, they
would willingly liquidate the con-
tracts as provided by the Commo-
dity Exchange resolution. Rather
than pay the additional charge,
however, they are taking the
other alternative of insisting that
the sellers of silver on contract
live up to the terms of their
agreement and deliver the silver
as called for.
