General Strike
to be Voted on
by Omaha Union
Organized Street Car Men's Bequest
to Be Issue Friday Night
at Meeting.
Omaha. 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

the house, a school inspector repri-
madded Maud's teacher in front of

How About the First Drop?
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.
