CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Wiley Contingent Wins a Victory on Ques
tion of Unpaid Bills.
MAYOR'S ' VETOES VIOLENTLY OVERRIDDEN
Itcmilt of a Stnr Chamber Bouillon with
nnil Halt J'rcparcil bj Wicelcr
Uountro Not Allowed to Jto-
pair Wooden blilotrnlki.
Seventeen members attended Iho adjourned
icsslon of the city council last night , and
from stnrt to finish Solon L. Wiley of the
Electric Light
new Omnha Thomson-Houston
company came pretty near having things
"his own way.
During the months of January , November
rul December , 1893 , and February , March
mil May , 1891 , Mayor Uemls vetoed bills
of the lighting company aggregating $15-
ri9.35. Since those dates , the Wllfeyites
In the council have been unable to muster
enough votes to pass the bills over his veto ,
yesterday , all or nearly all of the members
of the council held a star chamber session
In one of the committee rooms , Mr. Wiley
ttcmllng , and giving advice when needed.
This was all on the quiet , but as soon as
the council met Mr. Wheeler let the cat out
of the bag. In doing this he moved that all
of the Wiley bills vetoed by the mayor
bo Included In the monthly appropriation
sheet for general expenses Incurred. In ex
planation , he said that Mr. Wiley had agreed
to reduce to | 111.50 each , all of his street
lamps , 19C In number , for the balance of
the year. He dwelt at great length upon the
great saving that this would be to the city ,
eaylng that 100 of the lamps were being
paid for at $176 per lamp , per year and that
the others were those that were put in at
J1IO each.
In making the statement , however ,
Wheeler forgot to say that the contract for
the $110 lamps expired on June 1 of the pres
ent year , and that ( ho contract for the 100
$175 lamps would expire on November 2C ,
1894.
SWALLOWED THE DAIT.
This bait caught the members of the coun
cil , and they swallowed It , hook , sinker , bob
ber and all , notwithstanding the fact that
the vetoes of the mayor had been based
upon the fact that lights had not burned , and
that they had not emitted 2,000 candle power ,
as specially provided for by the contracts
entered Into at the time when Mr. Wiley
commenced stringing his overhead wires
long years ago.
The vote on allowing Mr. Wiley's bills was
as follows : Yeas Back , Bechel , Bruncr ,
Berkley , Cahn , Edwards , Hascall , Holmes ,
Jacobsen , Lemley , Parkers , Saunders ,
Thomaj , Wheeler , Mr. President 15. Nays
Elsasser and McAndrens. Absent and not
voting Specht.
It was anticipated that Mr. Hascall , chair
man of the Judiciary committee , would re
port upon his city electrician vacancy , but
upon this subject he was as silent as the
grave , not even referring to the knockout
blow that he got below the belt the other
day when ho appeared In Judge Walton's
court , when L. II. Hheern was perpetually
enjoined from drawing a salary as city
electrician.
The mayor vetoed the resolution to locate
, a gasoline lamp on North Twenty-fourth
street , beyond Fort Omaha , giving as reasons
that the lighting fund was about exhausted
and that'thero ' were already two lamps within
a distance of 300 feet of the place where It
was proposed to locate the lamp. The veto
was sustained , but when the roll was called
Mr. Hascall tried to be funny by saying :
"Tho mayor Is usually wrong , and as I think
that he Is wrong this time , I will vote to'
reject the veto. "
KOUNTZE'S SIDEWALKS.
Touching upon the question of permanent
sidewalks , Mayor Bemls sent the following
veto message to the council :
I return herewith , without my approval ,
resolution No. 71 of June E. allowing H.
Kountze to repair the wooden sidewalks
opposite certain designated lots In E.
Kountzc's reserve and Kountze & Hutu's
addition.
Thin resolution Is directly contrary to
the provisions of ordinance No. 2J1C , which
rnakcH It a misdemeanor to malntaini other
than a iiormancnt sidewalk on any paved
etrcct In the city. If this ordinance'is to be
enforced at all , It seems to me to be n.
very short sighted policy to exempt from
Its provisions a man who Is probably the
wealthiest of our citizens. If this resolution
becomes a law we may as well repeal all
ordinances relating to sidewalks , as excep
tions will then become the rule. It will bo
impossible to enforce the law against the
small property owner when the owners of
large additions are exempt from its re
quirements. There are liumlrciln of walks
In the city which are In a. dangerous con
dition , n ml which should be replaced by
good walks Instead of allowing them to
remain a menace to pedestrians , while the
city pays hundreds of dollars out of the
Benenil fund for injuries received on these
paint ? walks. This money should be saved
to the general fund by condemning these
walks and ordering new ones. The ordi
nance prohibiting' the repalilnu of wooden
sidewalks on paved streets Is u proper one
and should not be repealed. The Hoard
of Public Works has nut been unreasonable
in Its enforcement of this ordinance and it
should be supported.
The veto was sustained by a vote of C to
11. By passing another resolution over the
mayor's veto Mr. Kountzo was given permis
sion to repair another walk in the same vi
cinity.
The contract with John J. Johnson , for
painting and bronzing the drinking foun
tain ? , was presented and approved.
Both of the legal advisers of the city rec
ommended settling the suits with A. S. and
C. II. Mangold , allowing the former $1.600
unu > the latter $1,400 for land taken In en
larging Rlvervlew park. The council agreed
to the settlement and the money to make the
payments will bo taken from the park bond
fund. Another lot of claims arising on ac
count of lands taken for park purposes In
the enlargement of Illvervlow park were re
ferred.
The resolution by which the retrenchment
order referring to employes of the Board of
Public Works was brought from the flies ,
where it was consigned a few weeks ago.
After It was placed before the council ! t was
promptly referred to the special committee.
City Engineer Itosowater's report , showing
the condition of the asphalt pavement laid
under the ten-year maintaining contract , was
presented and placed on Ille.
For the benefit of the public a drinking
fountain , the cost not to exceed $75 , was
ordered placed at the Intersection of Sherman
avenue and Locust street ,
OBJECTS TO MOOIUTS METHODS.
J. A. Cooper filed a complaint against J.
II. Moore , guard over the city prisoners. He
alleged that upon many occasions ho had
Been Mcoro and the prisoners loafing when
they should have been at work. Ho also
alleged that upon two occasions he had Been
the prisoners treated to beer and other
liquors.
F. J. Nash of Nyack-on-the-Hudson wrote
that ho had a paint that when applied to
Iron pipes would prevent electrolysis. 'lie
wanted the city to toke hold of the matter ,
The council will Investigate this and report
at 891110 subsequent meeting ,
The sum of $000 was Injected Into the
appropriation ordinance to reimburse City
Treasurer Uolln for money which he paid
to W , S. Hutchlnson for a smoke
consumer which was placed In the city hall
lomo months ago. Last winter the council
hired Hutchlnson to place the smoke con-
punier In the city building. In due time
U was discovered that the thing would not
toonsumo Binoko and was practically worth
less. Notwithstanding this fact , the council
approved the bill and It went to the mayor ,
Who attached hla veto. Before this , however ,
JIutclilnson secured the unsigned warrant
from Comptroller Olson and rushed over to
Iho treasurer's olllce , where he got his
money. Since that time Mr. Bolln has been
holding the sack , the $ COO having been
charged against bin account.
Ily resolutions the Board of Publlo Works
was Instructed to eject the squatters from
the territory in the vicinity of Fourth and
Walnut streets.
The bid of M. J. Hughes. $107 each , for
placing water troughs , was declared the low-
eat , and he was given the contract.
A Joint committee reported that until Jan-
uarf 1 , 1895 , the Wiley company would fur
nish electric lights at $111.50 each. The
report WB'S adopted , Mr. Saunders nlono
vrUng "no , " and the city attorney was in
structed to draw the contract.
i JJy resolution the sum of $ .0,800 was taken
from the school fund and placed In the gen
eral fund , to bo paid over to the coal deal
ers who paid licenses of $100 each during
the years 1889 , 1890 and 1891.
An ordinance redlitrlctlng the city for
elective purposes was Introduced , with the
understanding that the precinct boundaries
would bo Inserted at next Tuesday night's
meeting.
The ordinance giving and granting to nny
person , company or corporation authority to
erect poles and place wires along the Bticcts
and alleys for the distribution of electricity
for lighting' purposes was passed. This Is
the old Hascall ordinance , Introduced last
month.

The Omulm Ilo.inl Alt Itlght.
A letter received a few days ago by Secre
tary Gillan of the Omaha Board of Educa
tion from Mr. II. C. Platt , secretary of the
Board of Education of Los Angeles , Gal. ,
seems to Indicate pretty conclusively that the
Omaha Board of Education has struck about
the right track In the matter of handling
school supplies. About six weeks ngo Mr.
Platt was In Omaha on his way east for the
purpose of Inspecting the various methods
of handling supplies. The Los Angeles board
had got Into some confusion with their store
and the board sent Mr. Platt across the
country to see what ho could learn In order
that they might get matters straightened
out. Ho stopped In Omaha and
examined the method introduced last fall by
Secretary Gillan and the committee on sup
plies. After going to St. Louis , Chicago ,
Now York , Denver and several other places
Mr. Platt returned home and wrote Mr.
Gtllan a letter that Is to suy ino least very
complimentary to the Omaha board and to
Mr. Glllaih who had most to do with getting
up the orders and requisitions now In use.
Among other things Mr. Platt says : "After
quite a thorough trip of inspection of the
method of handling school supplies In dif
ferent departments over the country I find
that there are many good ones In use end
I have gained many good Ideas. I am
pleased to say that I do not think that there
Is any system that * is better than the one
you now use , which I believe was Introduced
under your administration , and I congratu
late you upon the success that I know it
must bo. I am convinced that you cannot
Improve much upon the 'plan you have In
troduced. "
Novel Court Proceedings.
Friends of one Cunningham R. Scott , a
Judge who holds forth In the criminal sec
tion of the district court , have been Indus
triously circulating a petition In which Scott
Is lauded to the skies. The document em
bodies the usual whercascs and wherefores ,
Is typewritten and covers three pages. It
sets forth the manner In which
Scott Is alleged to have been
maligned , and closes with the cold
statement that ho Is an Ideal Judge and has
been courteous to Jurors-witnesses and other
parties who have had business In his court.
The document has been- presented to all of
the Jurors for their signatures , and , In eomo
Instances they have complied , giving the
Judge the clean bill.
The Jurors , however , are not all of the
same mind with reference to the matter.
One prominent business man who happened
to be on tbo Jury , in discussing the subject
yesterday , said that the petition was
shoved under his nose , but ho refused to
sign It , and when asked for his reason for
refusing said that ho did not think that It
was necessary for a Judge of ths district
court to get the opinion of the Jurors re
garding his character. The Judiciary , ha
said , should bo above such things. If a
Judge was honest and sincere It'was not
necessary for him to get certificates , as his
actions were the best evidence. Discussing
the matter farther , this Juror said that he
had noticed that none of the other Judges
had asked any of the Jurors to glvo them a
good character , and he could not see why
Scott had to ask for a recommendation from
men who were in fact officers of the court.

Union Members.
CHICAGO , Juno U. { Special Telegram to
The Bee. ) That the cutting off of Pullman
palace cars from trains will be recommended
by the general convention of the American
Railway union to subordinate bodies for
action seemed almost certain tonight. The
presentation of the report of eighteen Pull
man delegates was made ( ho regular order
of business for the session this
morning. It Is believed that the
delegation as ono man will * suggest
a direct boycott of all cars , dining and
sleeping , known to belong to the Pullman
company. ,
From the remarks of scores of delegates
Interviewed tonight regarding the question
It may bo gleaned that the only persons
who will not vote for the beginning of ac-
tlvo warfare upon the corporation In order
to aid the strikers at Pullman will be rep
resentatives of roads who do not use the
Pullman service , and do not , therefore , feel
authorized to express any sentiment on this
point. But not one of all the men assem
bled hero from every point of the union
could bo found who had a word to say In
opposition to a boycott.
The sentiment of those who expressed
opinions tended toward having the unions
of Chicago start the fight.
Resolutions governing the matter will In
all probability be drawn by a special com
mittee to be elected for the purpose by the
delegates. These will take the form of a
recommendation , and will leave the prob
lem to bo actually solved by each local union
for Itself.
General Master Workman Sovereign de
livered an address urging the co-operation of
the American Railway union and the
Knights of Labor. At the conclusion of his
address President Debs and Vice President
Howard responded. A committee drew up n
long resolution favoring the alliance , which
was unanimously adopted.
George 0. Ward of Kansas City Introduced
a resolution providing that the organized
railway employes should refuse to haul coal
mined by nonunion miners or by union min
ers who refuse to recognize and obey the
orders for a gcnarel strike issued by the
proper general officers. The resolution appeared
'
peared to meet with favor , and it Is now'
likely it will bo adopted. It Is now In the
hands of a committee.
IJUT WILL THEY DO IT ?
Mcllrldo Thinks the Minors Will Go Back
When They Itcad Ills Letter.
COLUMBUS. June 14. President John Mc-
Brldo of the United Mine Workers associa
tion says he believes that when the miners
have read and considered the circular-letter
sent out by the national executive board ex
plaining the compromise they will see It In
a different light and accept the settlement.
Ho says the miners forced the matter of the
strike last fall and ho would have resigned
at that time If they had permitted him to
do so. Ho did what ho believed was for the
Interests of the minors when ho agreed to
the compromise. He relieved himself of re
sponsibility and the miners would now have
to assumce It If they continued the strike.
PITTSBURG Juno 14. At a delegate meetIng -
Ing of miners In this district 2,000 wore pres

their trusts.
McDONALD , June 14. There has been no
trouble here. The miners held a meeting to
consider the compromise and rejected It.
CLEVELAND , Juno 14. General Manager
Woodford of the Cleveland , Lorraine &
Wheeling road has wired John McBrldo that

go to work Monday.
SPRINGFIELD. 111. , Juno 14. The coal op- '

until May 1 , 1S95. Leading miners arc of the
opinion that the strike will continue In this
district.
WASHINGTON , Ind. , Juno 14. At a gath
ering of 2,000 miners at White Oak resolu
tions were adopted not to return to work.

ters and suspend organization until the mat
ter Is settled.

ST. LOUIS , June 14. In speaking of the
Interchange of working cards which the fcd-
cratlonlsts of the recent labor conference
would not allow , Secietary Hayes of the
Knights of Labor said : "This was one of the
principal questions that came up and It was
defeated. I tell you there was little done
at this meeting. It Is hard to accomplish
much good when the federation Is bucking
against us. "
T. B. McGuIre of the executive board of
the Knights of Labor said : "The Interchange
of working cards was the only thing that
could acompllsh tha tl\Ing required , that Is ,
concerted action , by wage earners. The
Federatlonlsts would like It If wo would
break up the Knights of Labor and Join them
In a body. Now , why should wo do this ?
Wo are willing to recognize their cards , and
we do It.The carpenters in New York , with
out a Knights of Labor card could get no
work. Wo are in the majority there and wo
recognize the federatlonlsts , but when they
are In the ascendant do they reciprocate ?
Not much. They made no proposition to
us ; wo did all the proposing , and I cannot
say that after all there was much ac
complished. "

COLUMBUS , > Q. , Juno 14. President A. A.
Adams of the Ohio Miners union ( district No.
G ) Issued a call today for a meeting of miners
In Columbus Tuesday , Juno 19. Ho asks the
minors to select their best mm to represent
them , as business of vast Importance will
have to be acted upon ,
Secretary McBryde of the National Miners
organization states that unless the com
promise Is accepted by the miners that a
general meeting will bo called , at which the
national officers will tender their resignation.
McBrydo gives It as his opinion that unless
the Ohio miners accept the agreement they
will bo compelled to go back to
work for 40 cents a ton Instead of
GO cents. The national officers formerly
treated Adams and his theories with con
tempt , but since he has to strong a follow
ing and endorsing of his course on the agree
ment ho Is recognized as a formidable
factor. McBryde claims that the action of
the executive board In signing the scale was
In accord with the views of the district pres
idents , of whom Adams was one.

POWDiRLY WRITES HISTORY
Post Moit m Complaint of the Into Head of
the Knights of Labor ,
HOW HE WAS FORCED INTO RETIREMENT
of the ItaiikcKt Kind Charge *
Against Ucncral Secretary-Treasurer
Hayes Kinteru Money Used to
Depone Him.
PHILADELPHIA , June 14. T. V. Pow-
dcrly , ex-master workman of the Knights of
Labor , has Issued for private circulation
among the members of the organization a
statement containing the Inside history of
the movement which compelled his voluntary
retirement. It forms a pamphlet of thirty-
four pages.
In a review of the circumstances leading
up to the events of last fall which have
proven so momentous to the Knights of La
bor Mr. Po\\derly alludes to the candidacy
of John O'Kcefe In 1S92 against Mr. Hayes
for the office of general secretary-treasurer
which was followed by Mr. O'Keefe's dis
charge by Hayes from his position In the gen
eral office.
Mr. O'Kcefo's complaint to the general
executive board brought to light complaints
from other general olllce employes , all mem
bers of the order , of being watched , dogged
and browbeaten.
"They asked for redress , " says Mr. Pow-
derly , "and the general executive board give
them a hearing In the general office. The
general secretary-treasurer , who was presi
dent when the clerks and other employes
wcro called before the general executive
board , retired and refused to be present at
the hearing. The statements made nt the
hearing were taken down In shorthand and
disclosed a condition of affairs which gave
the members of the general executive board
no little uneasiness. Listening at keyholes ,
picking of pockets , watching each significant
move , rending of personal letters , and , In
fact , such practices as would not be tolerated
In any factory or other Industrial Institution
In the land , wcro stated to be of dally occur
rence In the general office.
"When the general secretary-treasurer was
requested by the board to abolish the system
of espionage which .prevailed In the olllce
ho denied that any such condition of affairs
existed. When pressed ho said , In substance :
'I have information that will damn the whole
of you. I can go to the world with a state
ment that you are nil engaged In stock Job
bing , land speculating , and In every wnj
neglecting the business of the order for per
sonal affairs. '
"When told that would not bo true , h
said : 'It don't make a bit of difference
once a llo is told It will go , and I will II' '
whenever I want to score a point. " "
Mr. Powderly then takes up the charges o ;
Haye # against the general executive board
which he denies In every detail. Recount.
Ing the consideration of the charges In tin
last general assembly , Mr. Powderly's state
ment says : "When I had bpoken for four
hours and twenty minutes , all told , and the
general secretary-treasurer ( Hayes ) had con
eluded his thlrteen-hour talk , Hugh Greenan
of District assembly 4D stood up and asked
the general secretary-treasurer If there was
any truth in his charges and he said there
was not.
"Did these men misappropriate any of the
money of the order ? Did they use any of
It for their personal ends ? Have they
squandered the funds ? ' were the words of
Greenan , as near as I can remember them.
The answer of the general secretary-treasurer
was 'No' to each question.
"When making his speech the general sec
retary-treasurer said : 'I always wanted
to get rich ; I want to be rich and I will get
rich if I ( an. '
At another time , after explaining the workIngs -
Ings of a gas scheme In which he was en
gaged , ho said : 'I am the manager , the
treasurer and the board of directors of the
company. I made $5,000 on it this morning
and I have the money in my Inside pocket
now. '
"When the St. Louts general assembly was
In session , " continues the statement , "James
Hughes told me that the national demo
cratic committee had $5,000 there to defeat
mo for re-election. I paid no attention to
his statements and told him it could not bo
true. He said he had the proofs. At a
banquet given by the St. Louis locals that
evening James 11. Sovereign , who sat op
posite me , wrote a card and handed It to me.
From the card now before me I quote these
words : 'There are $5.000 here from the
cast to defeat your re-election. Say noth
ing. It will fall. '
"In conversation ho Bald he was positive
that the statement was correct and that ho
knew who had the money. "
The general master workman closes with
an appeal to the members to hold their old
assemblies together , but to scrutinize all
new ones and not allow so many "paper as
semblies" to be organized that the genuine
ones will be outvoted nt the next general
assembly at New Orleans.
