representatives of the labor unions In par-

last. week. Mr. Sears also claims credit for
this reNoiutlon. Tlirro menied some conft-
Ion eventually as to who bad been responsible -

The trades unions , or rather the Building

Bell. W. 0. HiggIns , Nate BJornson , George
Ktibler , It. McKlniioxi , 3.V I3reen and 0. P.

as the first spokeninan for the committee
submitted the following resolution , which
be asked the board to adopt :

'VreIiil of the
The matter came before the board. tin-
mediately upon assembling , a motion to that
.oufOct coming from Mr. Burgess , who after
the resoluttoi had been twice read said
ho vas of the opinion that the law stood
. In the way of any such discrlinlnntiOn as
was contemplated. Such a propostttoa bad
' ' once before come before tile board and it
was then so determined. tie asked It Peter
, Tuttle was a member of a union. It was
' explaineil that Tutilo had been suspended
from the carpenters' unon. Mr. Burgess
obervcd that "Tuttle is one of the best
men weve got , " and inquired further if
ho would have to be dropped. The question -
tion was a hard One and brought the answer -
swer that Tuttle would "nat necessarily"
have to be discharged.
The Tuttle conundruth came up 1n an
effort by Mr. Burgess to find out who were
to be tim judges of a xnan'a litness as a
mechanic. Mr. Shrum had to admit that
. the employers must be thd best judges.
. Interrogatorles were fired at the repro-
; ' sentattyos of the trades unions from all
directions. Most of them wore put by Mr.
j
' Penfold , who occupIed the chair , and Mr.
t Burgess. Mr. Penfold questioned them as
to what is required of a workman to be-
: COnlO a member of a labor organization.
: ; Being enlightened sufficiently ca this point
' be submitted this poser :
' ' "Suppose a carpenter is buying a little
. * home for himself and family by monthly
' payments from his earnings and is unable
' . to pay the Initiation fee requirsd to ad-
mit him to a union ? "
' I A reply was essayed byV. . H. Boll , who
in answer to a query from Mr. Van Gilder
1 1 informed the board that ho was the "busi-
' J ness representative" of the painters' union ,
) ' though not at present actively engaged at
work as a painter anywhere. The gist of
' "We are not lIghtIng -
lUr. Bell's reply was :
. Ing the battles of outsiders ; we have all
: we can do to fight our own battles. If
S these men do not try to help themselves
' by organization with the unions they are
' not entitled to help from others. "

\ With a good deal of explanation ho cm-
phasized the point that nonunion workmen
. nra not In a position to demand consideration -
* tion for the reason that they remnin aloof
from all possible means of bolstering up
wages. lie rather emphasized a contention
' that only good mechanics could gain ad-
, ; J : missica into the unions , his logic being
' c that therefore only union men are competent -
: : tent mechanics and nonunion men are not.
4 An equally diflicult question was put by
) , ; Mr. Burgess over the status of Jim Talbot ,
. ,
p a contracting painter , Ha asked : "Then it
: ' Is not because Jim Talbot is a contractor ,
t but because ho is not a member of the
, union that 'ou oppose hlni"
t ' The answer amounted to an assertion
I t : that It it 'wAS inimical to the interests of
labor to have non-union journeymen em'
ploycd It Is more so when non-unionists
. ; wore given contracts. Chief Painter Charles
t Hunt's status was also discussed.
Mr. Van Gilder himself admitted that
tIm point of the legality of employing only
; union men and discriminating against non-
i I union men was a bard nut to crack , for
p , : z the reason that both are "taxpayers and
have children in the sliools , and are therefore -
fore entitled to equal consideration whenever -
over worl Was to be given out. " Mr. Sears
. also saw 'this difficulty , though , like Mr.
Von Gilder , be said ho was not blind to
the stand being taken by labor organizations -
tions In behalf of humanity. Still he recalled -
called that the Knights of Labor once
threatened to keep him out of a livelihood
If he didn't join their organIzation , notwithstanding -
withstanding which ho had kept the same
position for a decade.
Mr. Buchanan strongly and unequivocally
advocated employing only organized labor
and took occasion 10 denounce the great
rnonoyed interests of the country ,
Iegnhid ) ' of till , Ciiige ,
The question of the legality of the thing
:
would constantly force itself to the front.
. 'I . on behalf of the labor confinittoa Mr.
Shrum endeavored to meet this objection ,
but the burden of the task fell to Mr. hell ,
The hatter read a decision of Judge Tuley
of ChIcago , rendered March 12 last in the
Cook county circuit court. This decision
dealt wjth the option of the Chicago board
to employ union labor exclusively. Accord-
log to the report read by Mr , Bell , Judge
Tuley had denied to ( be Chicago board the
right to exercise its own discretion as to
wlietbor public pohic was subserved or
Dot by a discrimination against non-union
,
labor , that function being one belonging
exclusively to the legislature. The iuipres-
sion conveyed by Mr. hiehi'a reading of the
decision was that there was no other ai-
tornativo left to ( be board but to employ
union isbor to the exclusion of all otler ,
t'liu case bad coma u to a controversy
.
between the Chicago board and the Build-
lag Trades council of that ity.
Mnvcj , lN lttereiice ,
Considering the Importance of the con-
trovortiY l'resldent Jordan moved its reference -
once to the judiciary committee and the
boartl5 attorney , A ubstituto motion was
made by Mr. hess , who was a member of
( ho buildings and property conftnittee last
year. It Was in the shape of a resolution
calling upon the superintendent of buildings
for a Complete roster of all the employes of
the board. lie remarked that it wai the first
time he was aware of the assumption that
the Board of Education had no knowledge
of the competency or incompetency of its
workmc , and ho would like to be fully in-
formed. 10r. Penfold did not consider his
motion a proper one for the committee of
the whole.
Mr. Bell advised the board that the
Central Labor union expected immediate notion -
tion by the board and had Instructed the
labor committee to obtain such action.
Should action ho deferred the labor committee -
tee wouid have to so report to its central
body and "then , " Bald Mr. lou , threateningly -
ingly , "we will know what course to take. "
In answer to this Mr. Iless explained that
Immediate action could not be bad for the
reason that the board was sitting as a coin-
inittee of the whole , unless after It arose
President Jordan would call a special meet-
log of the board proper. Furthermore , Mr.
hess said he was opposed to action by a
bare izuorum of the board , thee present
constituting eight members ; he was desirous
of having a full meeting of the fifteen mom-
hers so that all could be put on record.
Postponement was also advised by Mr.
Burgess , lie appreciated labor organiza-
tiods , but as an American citizen , lie said ,
ho did not like the idea of being forced into
immedlata action. As the resolution of the
labor committee read h" , for one , could not
oto for it. Ito did not like the idea that
only men belonging to labor unions were
competent mechanics and all those outside
were not. So far as the board's attitude
toward organized labor was invoived he
would say that the wage paid to carpenters ,
34 cents an hour , and the laborers , 28 coats
an hour. was better even that the union
scale , wIdth is only 3O cents an hour for
carpenters. The decision of Judge Tuloy of
Chicago certainly throw some light on the
power of a Board of Education to employ
union labor It in the best Interests of the
public , but the only action ho could favor
was to leave the matter with the board
proper for fInal disposition b simply reporting -
porting as a committee of the whole without -
out recommendation , Fear of a political
boycott 'ivould not svervo him from what
ho considered his dilLy to the taxpayers.
Mr. Johnson , touching on the point of the
Tuley decision , said ho would like first to
be advised as to what ought be the position -
tion of the Nebraska courts. Similarly with
Mr. Burgess ho was certainly opposed to
discharging men for the simple reason that
they did not happen to be members of labor
unions. The employment by the Tr nsmis-
sissippt Exposition of nonresident union
labor had been alluded to by Mr. Burgess.
Mr. Johnson said ho would oppose employ-
meat by the board of nonresidents just because -
cause they cbanced to be union moo.
Strike IN Threatened.
The debate ran along in a loose way for
some time , and when It became apparent
that there was no likelihood of the board's
adopting the resolution as presented by the
labor representatives the latter threatened
a strike ,
"Vo suppose , " said dr. Bell , 'that this
board is like any other body ; it din take
action If It wants to , t it doesn't. act it
amounts to nothing moro than a mere talk-
lag match. If you do not act tonight there
is only one thing left for us to do. Tomorrow -
morrow you will not have any union men
working foryou , for they will'ahl' be called
off. "
Jordon's motion to refer was 'ttdoptod and
the committee , after some further discus- .
sian , adjourned , Mr. Bell said positivehy
that all union men employed by the school
board would be called out today. The members -
bers of the school board declined to say ,
what they would do In the premises if the
strike were declared.

much as was the difference in favor of cancellations -
cellations for the whole year of 1895 , The
figures show a difference for the first half

leaving a suspicion , finds himself In ( ho
county jail with a complaint agatn5 liltn'e (
larceny from the person ,
When hart was arraigned before County
Judge I1a.ter it turned out that his right
name is Cornelius U. Gleason atid that
his sphere of o'peratlons lately had been
in South Omaha. '
"Yet : people are too siow , " he candidly
told Deputy County Attornty Winter and
then ho astonished that omci.l wiLl : the
information thatt "In Chicago Hipliug sees
us first and it Is all fixed tip. "
Mr. Winter's inference 'was that Gleason
had hoped to find omcials as necomido-
dating as "Kipling , " the eitlelont chiet of
police , 'whom the prisoner was evidently maligning -
ligning in an attempt to convoy an Idea
of the obliging character of the Chicdgo

The particular game worked by Gleason
on the unsuspecting Wiens is the old "Ken-

There was a coprenint saloon and into it
they went , as a refreshment of sonic kind
was deemed proper , by way of a preliminary
to a witnessing of the harrowing details
of wholesale butchery. Quite naturally
Gienson fell into a dice game with a supposed -
posed Kentuckian , A dispute arose , butt
the Kentuckian was the very soul of
honor ,
'EYes , sab ; I lost the $10 , salt ; nnl there's
your money , sob , " said he with great dig-
alLy , as. he haughtily pushed a $10 bill over
to Gleason ; "and now , sah , I'll bet you
$100 , sab. " '
This was more money than Gleason had ,
but ho was 'trilling to call the dare. lie
had now $20 before him , to which he added
$5 more , and , turning to th stranger Fe
had taken in tow , he asked him it lie had
any money. 'Wiens was not to be outdone
in coutesy , but , $100 was a little too strong
for him. lIe let Gleason have 25 And this

The dollars as yOll as thio , dignity of the

shortly nfterward and made their " .iivvy , "
The "colonel" has not been seen since , word
got out that the county authorities would
like to have an interview yih him. It
took Wiens some time to discover how he

BOULEVARD CO1ES TOO uGh
City Oonuoil lilifers with the ' Viewers in
Begara to Property Values ,
APPRAISEMENT IS REJECTED 114 PART
.itvice ( it the City Attorticy Is Fol-
iowe.l In ( lie Mnltcr.flrdlIliiilCe
to Cover AppruiserN' Fees
tiil lie l'reiiitrcd ,
The committee ot the whole of tim cIty
council , at its meeting yesterday afternoon ,
called a bait upon the western and south-
westCrn boulevard scheme for the time be-
log at least , It decided to disapprove the
valuation of thd apitralsers on a vortiou of
the property to be condedmned and decited
to visit and examine the remainder befOre
approving the reports
The seetion of the boulevard which it is
believed has not been properly npprnlsed Is
that portion which extends from flemis park
to flanscom park , The amount of the vain-
ation fixed by the appraisers is sonic $74,000.
City Attorney Connell insists that this vain-
. Mon lies beeb boosted out of ProPortIon to
the actual value of ( ho hand , nail says that
the city will fail utterly in trying to assess
so much : benefit against the adjoining prop-
arty. As a consequence the cntire appraisement -
mont is disallowed.
The report of the appraisers on the cc-
rnnining section of the boulevard , that cx-
tending ( rein Hiunscom park to Itivcrvlew , is
considered less extravagant. The valuatIon
of this property to be condemned is $49,745.
At that .tho council does not care to take
( lie report tvlthout investigation , and therefore -
fore has decided to postpone action on the
report. The aldermen propose to go over
the route In a body next Tliursdny mornIng.
The only other matter of any iniportatico
done by the council was the turning dowlI of
the report of the aPpraisers who assessed
1,785 damages against property for thu
grading of Eighteenth street from Williams
to Center. A protest was filed nod in the
face of it the city attorney advised that the
report be disapproved , as the city would
otherwise be called upon in all probability to
pey not only the damages , but the cost of
grading.
In connection with these matters came in
bills of appraisers for services' rendered.
They varied , as slnllar claims have varied
in the past , Inasmuch as there has been so
much trouble over these appraisers' fees ,
the committee instructed the city attorney
to draw up an ordinance providing for a
fixed fee to be paid appraisers. Thus the
men appointed will know exactly what
money they will bo'entltlccl to draw for their
services nail. there will be no excuse for cx-
orbitant. claims.
During the course of the meeting tIle coun-
cii met in special 'session and allowed the
estimates recently approved by the Board of
'Public ' Works for grading and work on the
city jail. The body also histned to ( ho first
and second reading of an ordinance to pave
Poppletdn avenud from Twenty-ninth to
Thirty-second streets-an amendment to an
ordinance recently pssed to pave ( lie same
thOroughfare from Twexity-ninth to Thir-
tietli.
A petition from residents living on North
Sixte'enth street asking that a sidewalk be
laid from the Belt line' 'to Fort streets was
referred. The walk along 11115 stretch or
the thoroughfare was torn up some time ago
because it was a menace to life and limb nod
has riot been replaced , because the city will
have ' lo pay' for it , the property adjoining
being not of'sdllleient worth to pay the cost
if it were sold ,

II'ARD ABOUT TOWNS
Great. Incohonee Robert T. Daniel of Grit-
fin , Ga. , the chief officer of the Red Men , or-
rived in Pmaha yesterday noon and was
driven about tlto city during the afternood
as the guest of prominent fled Men of the
city. Mr. Daniel will visit the exposition
today and on Wednesday will take part in
the exercises.of lied 'Men's day. Mr. Danich
Is warm in his praise of Omaha. From all' '
that ho had heard of the city' ' ho expected
to find a city of perhaps 70,000 people , and
was surprised to thud that'it was more than
twice that large.
"The feature of the city which pleases me
the most , " said Mr. .Daniel , "is the large
number of 1andsome residences and the
well kept yards. The homes of a city are
as a rule the best means by which it can be
judged , afll ( measured by that standard
Omaha must 'leave a favorable impression.
The business part of the city is also very
substantial looking and the architecture is
much better thaii that of the average city. "
In speaking of the exposition Mr. Daniel
expressed a great destre to see ho big show
and said that. unless better rates are secured
from the railroads 'there will be few visitors
here from the far south. The inducements
offered so far by the railroadslaro so slight
that they arc little better than full fare.

the exposition Mr. McDanlehs said : "It is
beautiful and grand beyond what I had cx-
pected. This is my first trip as far west as
Omaha and the city and the exposition wore
a revelation to me. Like most eastern pee-
plo I had no conception of the vest , and it ,
'nan ' an agreeable surprise to find so much
that . is typically western embraced in'an
exposition , It Juan all impresed me very
favorably and I shall be glad to do all in
my power to adverlso It. "
