A decision will be made next Friday night by the Omaha cen tral labor union on the request of 268 striking organized employes of the Omaha and Council Bluffs street railway company that a general strike be called in support of the street car strike, now in its fourth month. Charles Nelson, president of the central labor union, said the request of the striking tram workers will be placed before the membership of the central labor union at its regular meetinr Friday night. The entire membership will vote on it. Nelson said the executive commit tee of the central union will take ac tion as directed by the vote of the membership. The executive commit tee has no power to act unless di rected to do so by the membership, Nelson said. The street car strike began in April when organized employes of the tram company walked out, seeking higher wages and shorter hours as the main objectives. After a period of minor violence, rioting broke out in South Omaha. Two men were killed and more than 150 injured before Ne braska national guardsmen took over the city under martial law for a five day period. Later rioting broke out in Council Bluffs, but was quickly halted by Mayor Hugh P. Finerty. Attempts of Governor Cochran to bring about a settlement of the strike failed when non-strikers refused to arbitrate the seniority question. An arbitration committee, acting with out representation of the non-strikers following refusal of the latter group to arbitrate, returned an award restoring to the strikers their full seniority, but non-strikers answered with a suit in federal court to pre vent enforcement of the award. The court has not ruled on the suit. SUITS ASK FOB $49,862 Omaha. Mrs. Madeline Krug and Jeanette Louise Madeline Krug, her daughter, both of Los Angeles, filed suits in federal court asking $49,862 from the United States national bank here in connection with the oper ation of the now bankrupt Krug brewery. The petition asserts that by terms of an escrow agreement set up in 1923 when the brewery was organ ized, the entire stock issue was to be sold by September of that yearN If the stock was not sold the agree ment provided that all funds were to be returned to subscribers. On Sept. 3, 1933, the petition states, the organizers were 590,000 short and money to purchase the bal ance of the stock was borrowed for one day from the United States Na tional bank, the bank charging $15 for the use of the funds. The peti tioners charge that the shortage of working capital resulting from the transaction contributed to the sub sequent condition of the brewery. Property Mrs. Krug and her daugh ter pledged in 1933 to purchase 44, 420 shares of the stock is now tied up by bankruptcy court proceedings. PATBI0TIC CHILD BEPB0VED London. The house of commons went into an uproar of cries of shame and disapproval when it was report ed an inspector of the Manchester schools had reproved a child who call ed England the finest country in the world.

The Maxwell House coffee has been highly advertised as being good to the last drop, and so with the ad vice and consent of Ralph Green the home airplane was named in honor of the famous coffee and after the three j-oung men, George Blessing, Virgil Woods and Mr. Miller had worked long and hard on the machine and had perfected it, they assayed to get close to the plane and have been taxiiing about on the landing field, if we are permitted to call it a landing field before it has flown and in so doing a couple of weeks ago while passing over an uneven portion ol the ground had a mishap of breaking the propeller. They immediately sent for a new one and placed it on the plane and on Monday evening taxied about the grounds. So on Tuesday evening they concluded to fly. Getting a good start over some ground which was hard and firm they had to run over some freshly plowed ground which retard ed the speed of the plane and a3 it was rising nicely a fence popped up in the foreground and the plane did not clear the fence with the result that propeller was broken and the machine given a land loop, badly wrecking the plane and bruising Vir gil Wood, the pilot, cutting a severe gash on his forehead. The young men do not give up easily, for they are to secure another propeller and make the necessary re pairt and try it again. This time the plane would have flown but for strik ing the Boft ground, for it tad risen from the ground, but not sufficiently to clear the fence.
