SOUTHERN PACiFiG STRIKE MOVEMENT REPORTED TO BOARD Dispute Alreadv Under Jurisdiction 1 pass uV?n lhe QufEI,on of Ppuia flJc;. T v j , ,t llon a Public hearing-should be held Of Kailway Labor Body and No with opportunity for interested per- special Action Planned, Chicago. Nov. 2 5. The United States railroad labor board today re ported receipt of a Telegram from J. 11. Dyer, of San Francisco, general manager of the Southern Pacific rail way, calling attention to the fact that a strike vote is being taken aiiiong the firemen and engineers of the system. The board took no ac tion. ; - - . I i.ers telegram stated that the iivrixij Lant'U IJt.'CiAU.'-e lilt t'lil- ployes had "failed to compel" the management to confer with them about a dispute over wages. Representative? of the engine brotherhoods here said they were in formed that the vcte was being taken because tLe management "had re fused to confer" with the employes. No Special Action The dispute concerning which the employes proposed to confer is al ready under the jurisdiction of the board, and spokesmen of the board indicated that therefore it would not be deemed necessary for the board to take special action. The board as sumed jurisdiction over the protest of the brotherhood last April, its ac- tion affecting the Southern Pacific and nearly all other important lines west of Chicago. The roads refused to confer there after with the employes on the sepa rate properties, maintaining that they had authorized the western managers conference committee (Jef fers committee) to represent them in the dispute until its conclusion. The board held that failure of the employes and the Jeffers committee to agree threatened interruption of commerce; the employes contended that the intervention of the board interfered with the conference be tween employes and managements. The question is now before the su preme court. Agreement Impossible The employes contended that an aereement with the Jeffers commi tee was impossible bee cause the com-I the application, mittee insisted upon on an roaus oi a iiuuiuer oi i uits in fecting them unequally, but that they could agree with the individual roads if allowed to confer with them one by one on local issues. Representa tives of some of the railroads differ ed. W. M. Jeffers, Omaha, chairman of the committee, said he was unable to answer when asked at a board hearing why the managements had formally insisted on separate confer ences and now insisted on concerted conference. 1 1 1 . r . 1 . c ' MORE II IS ASKED FOR Railway Commission Thinks $9,000- A Year Additional Leces sary For "rtTork. Eighteen thousand dollars more for the next biennium is requested by the state railway commission in its budget estimate filed with the secretary of finance. The total asked for is 143. 2Se. which is sub stantially the sum that was given for the support of the work previ ous to the effort of Governor Bryan to make a record on tax-cutting. For the last two years the com mission has had $10,uoo for main tenance. It asks the same amount for the next two. Salaries for the current biennium total $50,000 while $58,200 i3 asked. This is for the purpose of being able to again hire a reporter for the hearings held by the commission from time to time, for which $2,000 is asked each year. It is also desired to reemploy an assist ant accountant at $2, loo a year. The commission also asks for an Increase cf the appropriation for extra help from $30,000 to $40,000. This is urged as necessary because of railroad rate and telephone liti gation pending and to come. The remainder of the estimate i3 the same as now, $30,000 for salaries for the commissioners and $5,6S0 for the secretary. RAISE PAY OF OFFI CERS OF SAUNOEf Population Fixed by Board as Easis May be Attacked and Appealed From, Says Atty. General The attorney general's office has teen asked by A. S. Dolezal, county clerk of Saunders county, whether a resolution vl v--- - countv board, would fix the popula- f a county and justify county t officers in drawing an increased sal-. ary based on the assumption mac i the' county has a population exceed-j ing 25,000. ' Assistant Attorney General Dort in reply holds that the resolution of itself would not fix the population, as the population of a county is a f3n tr be determined by the best evidence o"""uf-" , th supreme court decisions in the cases He cites recent Pnain County vs. Bowter V W 620. and Koyen vs. Dodge County. 1!9 N- W.. 1022.

" ut tt.v rio determine that the resolution of the board v j h nriH hased imon evi- taken by' the board constitutes prima facie showing which cannot But if the 'resolution is directly attacked, the attorney general believes the Question 'of population would then become a question of fart to be determined in the case, and that the resolution of the board would be but priuia facie evidence -which might be rebutted by a showing of the true population. 1 He says if the board desires to sons to be present. He believes tha i uuaiu luiri.'ii consider ine oies casii 'at the last general election, comput- I ing population pro rata thereof, or the board might take a school census, pro rating according to families. It might have a right to hear any and i all evidence tending to prove popula tion. He believes the board would act in a quasi judicial capacity from ' which an appeal or proceedings in error might be prosecuted to the dis- trict court. . . NATIONAL GUARD HAS MADE GROWTH Fifty Per Cent Increase in "Strength During the 1S24 Fiscal Year. Its Washington. Nov. 25. Thru wavering z-al of the personnel, national guard component of United States army scored a 15 un- the ; the ; per i 'nt increase in strenirth during the : 1924 fiscal year. Masor tjeneral George Rickards. chief of the militia i bureau, informed Secretary Weeks j ' today in his annual report. The ag- j gregated strength of the guard June 1H24. was 17fi.322, he said, due j to recognition of new units by the j federal government, the increase therefore being "a legitimate and permanent expansion." 1 During the year there had been a marked decrease in calls made by states upon national guard troops to preserve order or give aid in great disaster. General Rickards re ported. j "In each instance, however, when ; troops have been so employed." he i added, "the manner of the perform ance has been favorably comment ed upon with notable absence cf ! criticism." l!f IQIf TRQ TfiifT IT nUwKUld I flit El II EASY IN PRACTICE Paul Dobson, 1319 Captain and Fa mous Kicker. Suits Up and Watches Wcrkcut. Nebraska's first string worked un der wraps Monday evening and fol lowing a brief signal drill the regu lars were s.ut twice around the field and th?n to the showers. Locke was working in the back field of the first string. Some of the time was devoted to finding a le;.k in the line which was permitting an Aggie lineman to rush Blood good when the latter was punting and drop kicking. j The first attempt failed to show It up as Scholz broke through and blocked a punt. That gave the situa tion away, however. ai:d it did not take long to remedy the trouble. The Oregon Aggirs are heading for Lincoln now and are due here at 1 p. m. Tuesday. Schissler's eleven has bee'n bre:'l:irg the long ride with short workouts along the way. ; Paul DoUon, captain of the 1S19 ' Nebraska tenia, who was one of the best of C'ornhusker kickers, is here on a vacation from his home in Cali- fornia. He suited up Monday even- i ing. It was Dobson's toe that beat Syracuse on a snow covered field on ! Thanksgiving of J919. He was' largely responsible for the scoreless' tie cf 191S with Notre Dam" when the latter team was full of All-Amer- J leans. Dobson was punting every j time the Huskers got the ball. j There was a much different spirit , extant among the squad members . following the Aggie contest th:;n was ; apparent the Monday fo'lowing the.

Nobody knew where it came from. V. L. Naus- ler, janitor for tne unra lioor, headed a searching party in the territory under his jurisdiction and finally found the smoke coming from j a large pasteboard box, such as is used for shipping purposes. The box was in a puhiic corridor aDout ten feet from the entrance to the offices of judges of the supreme court on the third floor, north side of the old building. Other paper boxes and one wooden packing box were nearby. ! Mr. Nausler picked up a bucket of water under a drinking tank and jdoused the burning packing box. ! By that time a hole about a foot in diameter had been burned near the top of the box. Inspector L. J. Butcher from the state fire marshal's office volun teered his professional services and within a few minutes gave it as his opinion that Nau&ler had set fire to uua m.uuciiuii tmuucu it3 contents into an incinerator which is located in the basement, that the pasteboard box was of such nature that the fire thus caught w yaw ill iM ' mini i in n f.f r "-3 p i di ffer niv of S3 5S V.
