THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, HAY 18, 1P03. THE ISSUES OF THE STRIKE A Plain Statement from the Business Men's Association To reach a correct conclusion of th difference now existing between veral latmr union In Omaha and their employer. represented y th Busines Men aspo rtation. th nrat thing necessary I to have correct knowledge of the matter In Issue. Thl I not controversy fteotlng rate of wage, hour of labor or anltary condi tion surrounding employe. THE ISSUES ARE: First Th labor organisation Involved In the present controversy demand what they call recognition" of their union. Th business men concede recognition In th sen that th laborer have a right to form unions, and. If they ee fit, to bo repre sented by these unions in negotiating with their employer. But uch right I not hat I meant by th term recognition" a used by th union. They demand a a part of recognition" that th employer hall enter Inti a contract to hire and re tain In hi employment none but member of their union. Thl demand th em ployer resist, contending that they hav a right to employ whom they please, with out discriminating in favor of or against union or nonunion labor. Tho employer contend that thl right of election on their part I essential to their control of their own business, and that th making of th contracts demanded would amount to a conspiracy entered Into by th employer to deny tho nonunion workman either th right or the opportunity to earn a living by hi calling. Second Thn union lnslt upon the right at uch time and for ueh raon a they, end they alone, shall deem fit, to organise and maintain systematic boycott in which their employer must become partlea, participating with them. That I, that th employ shall have not only th right to ay that ho will not deal or trad with any person who I declared unfair, but that hi employer must suspend all business relations with such person, without having any vclce In determining the Justice of th complaint (gainst the boycotted party. Thl demand th Business Men' assocla tlon resist, contending that every merchant. manufacUrer or other employer shall hav the right to continue hi business relation with .hi customer without regard to whether ioiiw union, of which he Is not a member and In which he has no vote, shall decide that the customer Is deserving of social cr business ostracism. Third Th labor unions Involved in thl controversy insist upon the right to In stitute and maintain what are known a sympathetic strikes, by and through which all of the employe of any employer, without having uny grievance of their own, or any complaint to mak agalnat their employer, may, at their will, under a decision Arrived at without hi participation, bring all of his business to a standstill because those employed by ome other party, or even In some other line of work, hav seen fit to withdraw from their employment. This demand the Business Men's association resists, contending that no employer ought to be subject to an arbitrary suspension of his business, that no quarrel or dissatisfaction existing betweer him and hi em ployes, simply because there Is dissatisfaction In some other lln of employment or with some other employer. These are th Issue Involved in th present labor disturbance, and upon th Jus tic of th position of th contending parties In these essential respect the publlo I asked to decide, BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIATION.

Thl has been an exciting day for Emerson. At I this morning th train crew of a passing freight discovered a building on fire. They blew their engine whistle, someone started a bell going and woke the people at the hotels who gave th alarm. Soon th whol town was aroused. For a time It looked a though the busi ness part of th town was doomed, a Emerson ha no water works, but by nergetla and aotlve work th flame wer soon brought under control.

These three are now sitting as a board of assessment and fixing the valuation of railroad property for assessment purposes. The eyes of the state are upon them and their report I being awaited with more Interest than ha ever before been shown In th report of a stat board of assessment. Equal taxation Is the cry all over the stat and It is th greatest factor In Ne braska politics today. This Is true not only as regards the state, but in city and county politics. Never before has the fact that the railroads have been shirking so much of their taxes been so widely ex plotted, and never before have so many th committee overturned the former rule promulgated by Chairman Dobbin of the county committee and adopted rules that would prevent anyone entering the pri maries who had not received the endorse ment of hi ward. Th effect of this would be, said the direct primary advocates to prevent a candidate from running out of hi home ward. Application wa made and Judge Frost lasued an Injunction to pre vent the anti-primary men overthrowing th rule of th committee, and th pri mary wa held under th rule formulated by the chairman of the committee.

These conflicting statements wr made Sunday snd Indicate the confidence which both aides to the strike manifest In their respective causes and chances of victory. In view of the published plans of the restaurants and laundries to open this morning a report became current to the effect that the transfer companies, which had been running short forces of wagons, would today materially enlarge their serv ice by the addition of many of their old men who hav been among the striker. The transfer men have taken th position that enough will return to practically break the backbone ot the strike and pave the way for the Influx of the rest. On the other hand, the strikers contend that their forces are still Intact and will so remain until the present controversy Is settled, The striking teamsters have agreed to make on Concession. They hav proposed to th transfer compAnie to strike out of their schedule of demand that clause Insisting on sympathetic strikes, which was on of th cardinal point of th Business Men's association against th unions. Th transfer men have not given their answer on this matter. Vp to tho Employers, 'It is up to the employers now," said Treasurer Wilcox yesterday. "We have agreed to withdraw this provision for eym pathetic strikes and If they will agree to th remainder of our demand the strike can easily be eettled tomorrow. 'So far as our men going bark to work is concerned, I can say authoritatively that after a thorough canvass we cannot find any who will say they are going back. I any break is to be made we are being .kept ln Ignorance of It and we are convinced that our forces are determined to stand or fall together. Some ot the "boys were said to have become uneasy last week when their benefits wer a day or so tardy, but th money has com alt right and w hear ot no complaint." A the teamsters have been considered the pivot of tho present strike the courso of eventa today will be watched with great Interest and go tar toward forming a vital atage In the progress of the general labor situation In Omaha. The laundries and restsurants are ah" expected to open today or tomorrow. Tolf Hanein and John Halplne, proprietor of the Calumet and One Minute, respectively, the two largest restaurants now closed, have given It out that they Intend opening with "independent" force and aay they will hav enough men to take care of their trade. The laundries likewise, have deter mined to put en "independent" help. Both restaurant and laundry proprletora say any of their old help oart return If they desire and no oueatlon wilt be ssked i a naee. PARIS, May 17.-Th threatened anti clerical demonstrations In the Fan churches did not come off today, the only serious trouble occurring this afternoon being at Belleville When a priest entered the pulpit of a church a number of Free Thinkers began shouting "Enough! Who uthorlsed you to apeak?" Members of th Society of Cathollo Youths, who were present In strong foroe, attacked the manlfestants with their fist and cane. The melee quickly became gen- rat, chairs wer thrown and women began shrieking. . Th police wer called In, sep arated the combatant and expelled those who had started the manifestations. Five persons were arrested and seversl were In jured. The arrival of two funeral helped to restore Order. A church at Plalsanca wa th cn of an attempted disturbance by socialists, but the presence qt 600 defenders of the priests, mostly Lavellltt butchers, who urrounded the altar and the pulpit, over awed them 'and no trouble occurred. At Marseilles there wa an antl-clerlret manifestation tn which 5.000 people partici pated. They marched through the street singing "La Carmagnole" and other revo lutionary- songs. The crowd proceeded to the prefecture,. whr It handed In a set of resolution congratulating the govern ment upon Its attitude toward the reli gious congregations and demanding the separation of church and state. Tha pre fect promised to transmit, the resolu tion to the government ton statement that he never contended that railroads were not aasesaed too low; ln spit ot the preponderance of evidence that th railroads hav been for years assessed at ridiculously low figures; In spite of the fact that the assessed valua tion per mile Is lees than It was in 1883, when the railroads were as nothing as com pared to today; ln spite of the many lm provements and ln spite of th valuable terminal erected ln Omaha.
