CtncAon BLMIKAU or Tun BKE , 1 ( JlttCAK ) , AUT. 1. I The Southwestern Hallway nnd Steamship Association , after dlscutslng the subject In executive session irom QtfO o'clock this after noon until li , refused to grant the requestor the Omaha live stock and packing Interests for n reduction of the Kansas Clly-Omahii differential en cattle from common points In the southwest. A majority of roads composIng - Ing the association were In favor of making the reduction asked for , but ns a change In the rates required tbo unanimous consent of nil the members Omaha's attempt to secure n reduction In tun present differential was un successful. The subject will bo presented to the association again nt a future meeting , nnd It Is believed that the roads which arc now holding out will DO won over. For thn past ton dajs representatives of the Union stock yards company and Cudahy packing company o'f South Omaha bnvo been laboring with the Southwestern Railway and B > Steamship association hero to secure the same rains from the southwestern cattle country as these now enjoyed by Kansas City. The association has been In session with closed doors nt the auditorium , but as there was a large amount of business outside this question to bo attended to , it was not rendered until today. Tbo following roads nro represented nt this meeting : Southern Pacific ; Missouri , Kansas & Texns : San Antonio it Ark.insns Pass ; Atchison , Topeka & Santa Fo ; Gulf , Colorado rado it Santa Fo : St. Louis , it Snn Fran cisco ; Fort Worth it Oenver division of the Union Pacific ; Cotton Belt Line , Klo Grande nnd Eagle Pass ; Missouri Pacific ; Texas Pacillc nnd the Mnllory steamship line. W. E. Skinner nnd Gencrnl Manager Babcock - cock of tbo stockyard presented the case In behalf of thn Union Btocxyards company and Trnftle Manager J. S. Knox in behalf of the . i Cudahy packing company , which has been V the prime mover in the effort to secure these rates. Kntltlrd to Consideration. The Union stockyards representatives In their argument to the association , emphasized the following points : 1. Wo hnvo the third largest market in the United States ntul nro consequently entitled to this consid eration. ! i. It is n matter of precedent that the Hvo stock market centers hnvo been encouraged ur "iiy the railroad companies , this being n tint- l ural condition , as the benefits nccrtiing from such centralization InvaViably redound to the Inlcicsts of 'ho railway companies , nnd South Omaha has never secured oraskcil any consideration at the hands of the south western Hues before. ! l. The Kansas City market takes the same rate from northwestern points as the Omaha market , making the two markets common points from the northwest. t. South Omaha lias an established marnot , X having four of the largest packers In the / United States located there. fi. The market is as well geographically situated to receive southwestern cattle as Kansas City is to secure northwestern cattlo. ( i. The South Omahn packers are placed Rt n disadvantage in consequence of the higher rates to South Omaha than Kansas City on southern cattle , causing unequal competition in n crado of cattle which como from the south , being what Is called "cannors , " it being necessary for equal competition of the sale of tbo product to ho able to slaughter all grades of cattle that are offered on sale at any packing cen ter. ter.Thcro was received at the South Omaha yards during the year 18'JO , IWO.G'.I'J ' cattle , Ili7l.l4 ! ! hogs and IfiO.lSo' sheep. 8. South Omaha wants r > UX)0 ( ) Texas and other southern cattle for slaughter this season , "and , " addi-d a Union stockyards representative , "wo have the assurance of thu producers In the south and .southwest that they want to bo enabled to ship to this market by nn adjustment of rates , which wo respectfully ask In their and our own be half. " Argument of tlio Packing Intercuts As a roproicntatlva of packing Interests , ? Manager Knox strongly endorsed the urgu- -jriunts of the stockyards pcoplo. Said ho to 1 he association : "It is but simple Justice that market and industries which Imvo been built up by n largo outlay of money , time and energy , ana which give a largo volume of manufactured products to the railway lines of the country , should bo protected by such just and equita ble rates on raw material ns nro neces sary to enable thesa Industries to compote with the rural markets. Pre cedents nro numerous where railway lines and association ! ) have made equal rates on certain comnioditio-i for largely varying dis tances , because commercial necessities existed therefor. For example , packing linu&o product rates nro tbo same from Chicago cage und Missouri river points to Pacific coast terminals , although the distances vary nbout live hundred miles. Lumber rates from widely scattered Texas nnd Arkansas mills are thu same to both Kansas City and Omahn , although the extreme rnngo of distances will reach ( iOQ miles or mor.o. All rates to Boston on export business nro made the same as to Now York , regardless of n longnr haul. Packing house product rates are tlm same from Chicago and Omaha to Texas points , the former being liOO miles moro distant , nnd lastly , as stated by Mr. Babcock , Kansas City nnd South Omaha Imvo equal rates In northwestern cattle , not withstanding the distances are In favor of the latter point , ns the railways have given Kansas City equal rates with South Omaha OH her products In nearly nil directions with out regard to distances , and have also per mitted her to bring cattle from the north west past the doors of South Omaha at thu same rates as we pay. Is It not fair to glvo us nn equal showing when It becomes necessary for us to draw supplies from territories winch happen to llo u little nearer to our competitors. "It is generally admitted that the morn numerous the markets for the sale ot staple products the greater nro the benefits accru ing to the producers , nnd hence It is probable . jLliat the opening of South Omaha to south western cattle shippers on an caultablo basis will stimulate nn Increase tn the future cattle tlo supply In that section nnd thus glvo the railways nn enlarged traffic In return for the small decrease In rates neces sary to comply with our requests.Vo ex pect to use In our own houses this sou- son M.OOO southern cattle and other southwestern packers will probably use us many moro , the product from which will go to the markets where Kansas City competes wltu us and to which she has rates equal to or loss than others. " Combined AgnliiNt South Oinnhii. From the first the South Omahn people have had to meet a most vigorous opposition on the part of Kansas City. Both the pacxors nnd commission men have kept their repre sentatives here during the entire session and both have done all In their power to prevent the granting of rates asked for. The commissioners were especially vigorous In opposing tbo proposition , as they could bo most directly affected if the change should bo made , since Omaha would no longer bo com pelled to buy her can tiers on the Kansut City market us at present and they would lose their commission. Ignoring the fact that Kansas City has the same rates on cuttle from the northwest that Omaha asks on cultlo from the southwest , they argued that none of the roads In the association Miould except the Missouri Pacific rntn to Om ha and nil should bo shipped to Kansas City ns at present. It wns to their Interest , they argued , to do everything that would benefit the latter place , and nothing that would have thu effect to Dulld up thu packing interests of the .Nebraska metropolis , Western People in Chicago.

The specifications for permanent sidewalks recently approved by the board of public works ntul the city engineer are liable to cause a world of trouble , in thcro are some of the contractors who declare they were pre pared exclusively In the Interests of the dealers In cheap stone , whllo others state that no tnan on earth can bd ! on permit , neut walks mid Hvo up to the provisions of the documents. The largest sized kick cones : from the men who deal In artificial walk * . Some weeks ago the city council passed a resolution InstructlnR the board of public works to prepare spccl'lcatlotu for tins year's work. The board called on the citv unplncar and the four men went to work. Thu stone walk specifications wore changed but little , whllo llioao pertaining to artificial atone were cut right mid lelt. The old specifications contain the following provisions : The sub-litnc shall cnnslM of fund , olmlrrs. broken stumi or hrli-k to u depth of six -jr eight Indie * . nei'orilliiK in the thlokno'sof the wenr- Inc or surface material adopted , and to be well lumped. The ha e to lie lit least three Inches thick , to consist of Immen Monutor slap , sand nnd cc- imiHt In such p.-unurlions ns may ho ordered by the Hldewulk Inspector. 1'lils proportion when oncu duiertiilncil to the satlsfa'llnn of said Inxpi'ctor. will he regulated by niuaanrc. Tlit ! cement shall ue tlm bust American or I'nrlland cement , and the broken stone to beef of Hiilistantlal finality mid not ( tranter than ono and one-half Indies In Its greatest din- meter , Tlio wearing material to bo of a thickness of not lc > s than one and one-half Inchesnn n liaso of not le > s than three liu'hcs. If the wearing material Is more than one and one-halt Inches the ha o must I'.xcei'd In iiiutiortlnii with the excess In thickness of the wearing material as two Is to one. That Is , two-lnuli wearing ma terial will require ) a four-Inch basu. In the new spec-mentions the situation Is changed and the conditions read llko this : The sub-ltHsu shall consist of crave ! or broken clone , to a depth of seven and one- half InrliL's iici'orillng to this th lei ; niss of tlui wearing or.Mirtaeo material adopted , and to hti "i-ll tamped. The base Hliull bo of congruto thrcn Inebcs thlukeomposed of one pact of best Portland cement , two purls of screened bank sand and four pints of broUun stone , or slag , fr > ) o from dust or dirt and not more th in one and one- half Ini'l'us In Its grualrst diameter. The cement and suiul shall first bo mixed dry and then enough water lncoriorated | to nuika a good imirtiir wlien the broken stone or slug shall be added , and after hulni : thoroughly mixed shall bo tit oneo laid In the work and rammed until free water Hushes to the surface , when the wearlnir surface shall Im mediately he luld u mm It. The weaiIns material to be of n thickness of one. and one-half Inches on a base of three Inehex. The materl.il for wearing surface shall consist of tine crushed si HI ; , substantial Mono or granite. The same to be sereuned thiough oiie-hulf Inch mesh screen. The ce ment to be. the hest brand of Portland cement , and shall bo In a proportion of ono to two. Siiflh'lont water shall bo added to prop erly mix the same , when the mixture shall lie laid upon the b.iso and thoroughly rammed. A Moat coat , composed ( if throe parts of Port land ci'inmit and one part of bank sand , shall Immediately be s.flcd on the surface and smoothed oil' with a wood Ihrit. When the mixture begins to sot It shall ho troweled oil' with a steel dowel until highly polished. All the above woik Khali lie done to the sat isfaction of the board of public works and city engineer. A one year guarantee will be required on all urllflc'al work under city contract , said guar antee to tie sustained by a good and satisfac tory bond , to bo approved by the mayor and the c'lty council. Higbt here Is where the trouble comes In. The board rcijutroi that the sub-base , sovcn and one-naif inches In thickness , shall be of gravel or broken stone , which runs the cost up to Sl.fiU to St.i3 ( per square yard , whllo last year sand and cinders wcro allowed , which material many of the old contractors state is equal to if not better than broken stono. Besides this , they claim that the sub- base Is moro for drainage than for any other purposo. Cinders will allow the water to pass through , whllo gravel and broken stone will hold It , causing an upheaval , which will crack and eventually ruin the walk. Ono peculiar thing about the now specifications is the fact that a sub-base of seven and one- half Inches Is required under walks In the residence portion of the city , whllo the speci fications for paving require a base of only six inches , and that only sand under stone and block. 'L'.IO guarantee Is another thing that looks strange to the contractors. The board asks for a guarantee for ono year , which the con tractors iwer means absolutely nothing , as a walk ono inch thick would not show any bad results from the effects of wear at the and of ono year. The actual cost of the artificial stone walk , as provided for In the specifications would be 23 cents per square foot , to say nothing about figurine on delays and bad weather. John Grant of the Grant slagolithic com pany had no hesitancy In saying that the movement Is -In the In terest of the Hyland , Kan. , stone , which is represented by two agents in Omaha. Ho states that by reqiiirlne the cast iron specifications the Hyland stone , which is merely a soft slate and costs comparatively nothing , will bo forced upon the property owners. Mr. Grant holds to the Idea that tne board has declared war on the artificial stone and has taken this stop to drive It out of the market , notwithstanding the fact that It Is a homo production. Chairman lilrklmusor of the board of public works uenlcd any Intention of workIng - Ing against artificial stono. Ford & Hues bid 17 nents per square foot , and if they could not get out whole on that price it would ho their own fault and the city and the property owners would bo the win ners. Ho had heard that there had been some kicks from some of the artificial stone bidders , but hud done his duly in letting the contract to the lowest bidder , who bo pro- sumcd would furnish a good bond for the faithful performance of his contract. Engineer Tllson , who helped put up the now specifications , knew nothing about any kicks. Ho had worked for the interest of the city and wanted to glvo the pcoplo the best walk for the least money. He did not want the Hyland stone and did not think It would be used. If property owners peti tioned for artificial stone they would got a walk that would last for ton years. ai.tii'o XOT LOST.

Captain Mnnnzon of the Hata claims the Chilian ship Malpo , which was reported as having foundered nt sen near Iquluo , has In reality anchored In safety ut the latter port. Ho says the report that the Malpo foundered arose from a mis- tnmshttlon bv a press reporter of the Span ish verb "fomlcar. " The trno moaning of fomlcar Is to anchor , but ho claims It was translated by the reporter as moaning to founder. _ - _ Hun KrunulHUO Mcruliiuits IiitnrcHtud. SAN FiuN'cisco , Gal. , Aug. 1. The Son Utego dispatch giving the opinion of Captain Mannzcn of the Itatn that the Chilian ship Malpo had arrived at Iqulquo with a largo quantity of arms and ammunition instead of being lost at sea as stated , was road with great Interest by mercantile ) men of this city In the Chilian trade. The Mulpo is supposed to hava secured her cargo at one of the South Son Islands dud U is said that the guns and ammunitions of war were originally shipped on a German ship from one of the Australian ports , which after wards transferred the cart , a to the Malpo , The views expressed by mercantile firms hero favor the theory that the Malpo avrlvod at Iquln.ua In safety.

At a meeting of the Demystcr company this nvonluj ; the following resolu tion was passed by a unanimous votes \\hereas.

JOB PRINTERS LOCKED OUT , EfTorta to Agree Between Employers anil Employes Oomo to Naught. SEVERAL SHOPS SIGN THE NEW SCALE , About n Hundred Men Still Out Organizer Kloiik In the Clty- The Union Will Moot Afternoon. After n two-hours session lust night , the lob printers adjourned until this afternoon without tnUlng any action that would ma terially ntTcet the present trouble which has grown out of their efforts to secure a hotter- mont of their condition uudcr the now eight hour law. Thcro was nothing now offered for consid eration nt the meeting. A majority of the employing printers refused to sign the scolo demanded by the printers , and made no proposition in Its stead which the workmen could accept. The printers simply ask a uniform scnlo of 810 a week for eight hours work a day , and double pay for overtime an required under too now law. This the em ployers refused , and required the printers to sln ( n contract by which the men would bo required to work ten hours ti day at a rate whloh would bring the total to $1(5 ( per week. Organizer Prank Klonk of the Interna tional Typographical union arrived In tbo city last night and attended the meeting.

Trouble at tlic Smelter. About 10:110 : o'clock last night a message was sent to police headquarters from the Omaha and Grant smelting work * asking for police protection. An account of the eight-hour law the man agement expected trouble , and took t bo precaution - caution of asking foru detail of police. Sergeant Mike W union , u couple of officers and a Bur. reporter ro.le to tbo works In the patrol wntron. At the norm end qnlto a crowd of dlasMlsllod workmen had collected and wcro urging others to quit. Sergeant Wahlen went among the men and talKed to them. Ho advised the dissatis fied ones to go homo and leave the others nlono. This the men promised to do , but did not. not.Tho trouble grcrv out of nn agreement which the men wcro asked to sign. The document contracted' to employ and pay the signer by the hour at the satno wages as heretofore and for the num ber of hours ho worked. Any employe who was not willing to work the sumo number of hours as was customary nt the smelter/ns to report the matter in writing at the office of the general superintendent. A couple of dozen men refused to sign the agreement. After tlllinp up on liquor they wont back to the works' and endeavored to have others quit. .I'no presence of the officers stopped this talk for awhile , hut the strikers managed to get among the men and stirred up trouble. Arrangements wcro made with the flromcu anil tenders in the upper cupola to quit at 1 o'clock. Anticipating trouble , Sergeant Whalen telephoned for another batch of police. This lust load arrived just before the hour named for the strike. In the meantime Superintendent Page ana Mr. Barton had a tnlk with tbo men who contemplated going out and arranged mat ters temporarily , tf ho men wcro promised a hearing and an adjustment ot their differ ences. At present the nlpht shift work thirteen hourd and the day men eleven hours. Just what the discontented ones want could not bo found out , beyond the fact that they want eight hours work with ton hours' pay. This could not bo and without putting ou three shifts of men and the management say they cannot afford to do that. At - o'clock the strikers were slowly leav ing the works and going Io their homes. Tbo polieo remained on truant until daylight. I-'oi' Kallrntul I0n > ' ) loycs. The railroad companies , in. view of the new law , nro requiring all of their employes to sign a contract , which roads as follows : The state of Nebraska having declared by law that elicit hours shall constitute a le al day's worn , all employes by this company , wli'o so des re , will hereafter lie employed for elKht , hours only eaeh day , and pal.l theieforu by the h'jur , at the rate of per hour.

Witness : _ K m ploy CM-H Alariiiod. There was unusual activity among all classes of employers yesterday over the pros pect of the enforcement of the now law , and Its effect upon business. Prominent attor neys weru consulted and various moans dis cussed for n compllaoco with the law that would pass muster without seriously increas ing the pay rolls of the big employers of labor. In n number of Instances contracts wcro produced requiring the men to work ten to twelve hours per day nt u rate which would stand double pay for the over tlmo aim still not increase the regular rate of wages. Ilofill dealers nil over the state have been Hooding tbo Omaha merchants with queries as to what should bo dona under the circum stances. Tun Omaha dealers could not very well offer advlco or suggestions on a matter which they have not decided for themselves , and In all branches of the roU.IL truuo bust- ness Is moving along under the old order and the employers will probably have to take the first steps If any change Is made toward n compliance with the law.

I'rel'i'rroil Ten Hours. The grading , sewer , paving and curbing contractor * have made terms with the men in their employ and work will continue the same as do fore the eight-hour law went into effect. Yesterday morning the contractors gathered their men about them , Informing then : that they could have an eight-hour day If they desired , but gave them to understand that eight hours' work meant eight hours' pay. The men considered the proposition and nt once concluded to continue working ten hours for ten hours' pay. No O uuiue on the Street Cnrn.
