This is the war cry of the Omaha Retail
Grocers' association. i
The regular monthly meeting took place
in the Board of Trade building Tuesday
tilght and the Omaha .and South Omaha
provision venders considered this a new
"menses" to their happiness and business
Interests.' A resolution was adopted and
will be sent to the manufacturers Inform
ing them of the disapproval of the local
dealers and that the vigor and vim foods
will be given the sere eye if they keep on
hanging aroupd. with the "dlsgueting"
coupon on their insidsa. '
"The packages of Force received In the
West so far have not contained the cou
pons." said Secretary Harry Fischer of the
association, "but they are being used In
the east It Is the principle we object to.
It shows that the B perry sc Mutohlnson
people are beginning to work through the
manufacturers of articles we handle and
will make every retailer their agent. We
know that they have been attempting to
ring In a number of makers of food sup
plies, but so far Force la the only one
which has begun sending out these coupons;
which are redeemable at the stamp stores
the same as the stamps. The company Is
trying them In New Tork as a feeler ard
will later send them all over the country.
They will, however, receive protests from
every merchants' association In the coan-
try. They say now that ths manufacturers
will give the coupons In order to Believe
the over-burdened retailers, but we see
only the edge of the proverbial wedge. being

ADVISORY BOARD HEARS - COMPLAINTS
Officials of ties1 Company Decline la-

Coart.
Complaints that gas manufacturing, ae at
present conducted by the Omaha gas com
pany at Twentieth and Center streets. Is
Inimical to the safety and comfort of the
residents within a radius of three blocks
were heard by the Advisory board yester
day afternoon. The officers of the fas
company declined an Invitation to be
present, saying the question haa been set
tled la court and they don't care to enter
Into any argument.
Representations havs been msde to Msyor
Moores and City Engineer Rosewater by
Fred 8chlemme that gas Is continually
leaking from the big tanks during Its
manufacture, filling the homes of nearby
householders with ths gas and rendering
habitation both unpleasant and dangerous.
When ons of the tanks exploded Friday
night many of the dwellers were turned
out Into the snow and cold, upon advice
from employes of the gas company,, that
occupancy ot their homes Was unsafe.
The released gas had permeated the rooms
and other explosions were feared if all
doors and windows were not kept open.
Some of the persons turned out found
refuge with neighbors mors fortunately
situated, while others shivered in cold
beds. A number of children and others
are aald to be 111 as a result ot the ex
plosion.
Hard to Keep Teaaats.
Fred Schlenrme, who- owns three houses
close to the tanks, and who fought the
construction of the plant when It was built
In 1897, was the principal protectant, al
though others of the nelghborhiod are
clamoring for relief from the gaseous fumes
and the ever constant danger of explosion,
both in the tanks themselves asd in ths
homes. Bchlemme said It has been Impossi
ble to keep tenants In his houses. Since his
Injunction was not granted, however, he
has not overtly objected to the tanks, but
Claims to have been damaged between
$2,600 and $3,000.
Gas Inspector Lynch said the explosion
last weea was caused by the freeslng of
the water, seal. - This was not noticed snd
tns pumping or gas into tne chambers was
continued until the top gave way. The
publio haa been barred from inspection of
the damaged tank and the Inspector had
difficulty In securing access In order to
make an Investigation.
Modern methods do not sanction the
presence of gas manufacturing plants In
cities," said City, Engineer Rosewater,
"They should be located In Isolated spots
outside the city limits and the gas forced
through a pipe .line to the ground covered
by consumers."
Inspector Lynch Talks.
Before the Advisory board Gas Inspector
Lynch said he considered the tank danger
ous to the neighborhood aa It haa been
maintained. He recommended the Install.
tlon of a relief valve, which would allow
the superflous gas to escape provided the
tank does not work properly or anything
oes wrong that would cause a pressure
exceeding fifteen pounds. After hearing
Mr. Bchlemme the board discussed the sub
ject at considerable length.
A committee, composed of City Engineer
Rosewater, Building Inspector WithielU
Fire Chief Baiter and Gas Inspector Lynoh,
was appointed to mske a report with rec
ommendations to the board at the meeting
next Wednesday.

of it all.
Mrs. Juda's story differed materially from
that of her husband. Bhe affirmed that
he was a "boose fighter" just because he
liked the feeling, and that she had nothing
to do with It, but, on the contrary, had
used her best endeavors to cure him of
his bad habits. Moreover, she further es-
srted, Juda wss ugly and cruel and she
exhibited a bruised and discolored coun
tenance that convinced the court She was
telling the truth In this particular. The
witness Bald her husband met her upon
the street Tuesday evening and because
she was with a woman hs did not happen
to like, struck her In the faoe repeatedly
with his clenched fist.
Judge Berka rubbed his chin reflectively
and murmured "thirty days."

One Speaker Declares it Will Be Great
Task to Kaeoaater Railroads' N
Iaaaeaee with Law
makers.
The Coal Dealers' Association of Iowa
and Nebraska convened at Crelghton hall
at 11 a. m. yesterday, with about 150
representatives present and Immediately
waged war against the "short weight"
evil. Resolutions were adopted v providing
for the appointment of committees to pro
mote legislation in both states calculated
to correct this evil. The officers of the as
sociation present were: C. W. Chiasm,
Omaha, president; J. V. Hutching, Llncoji,
vice president; R. E. Harris, Omaha, secretary-treasurer,
and Walter B. Webb, Slaux
City, and A. F. Burke, Lincoln, executive
committee.
Mr. Chiasm, in calling the meeting to
order, said:
"We are here to reaffirm the Btouz City
platform relative to short weights. Ths
question of short weights Is' a matter of
live interest to all lines of business and to
none more than the coal dealer, who Is
almost Invariably compelled to accept mine
weights as the basis of his cost receipts.
We went to make the railroads psy for
what we do not get. We want only what
we pay for, but we do want that"
A. W. Morse of Minneapolis, secretary
of the Northwestern Retail Coal Dealers'
association, stated that the Minnesota peo
ple were with this association on this prop
osition. ' r
Mr. Chlsara Introduced W. A. Moore of
Ls Mars, Ia., as the man who started this
agitation against short weights and who
was the author of the Bloux City resolution
of December S, l$0t. These resolutions
were in effect that it Is the Judgment of
the coal dealers that the time Is ripe to
take drastlo measures to remedy evil of
short weights and secure honest weight on
the coal they buy. It was shown that
there was a practically universal shortage
of coal running from a few hundred pounds
up to as high ss eight tons to ths car and
for which ths retailer had to jay. Mr.
Moore said:
Mast Solve Problem.
. "The problem of revision In the method
of coal weights confronts us. The problem
6f short weights Is getting to bo a serious
one and it Is time for large and small coal
dealers to get together and solve this prob
lem. Railroad, and not the shipper, should
be made responsible for the shortage. The
railroads should deliver ths full amount
of coal called for In the bill of lading. Ths
railroads should also be compelled to
maintain track scales at all stations as a
part of their station equipment and that
all car lot shipments in such products
ss coal should be welged at the
point of destination on arrival. Our
only recourse ls in legislation, but we
cannot hope for much there unless ws
work together, as ths railroads have too
many friends there for us to compete with
successfully unless we present a strong
front. Ws have paid for .many tons of
coal that are yet In the mines. Cars are
often marked loaded far beyond their
capacity, and we have got to pay the
freight,"
Refaae to Weight
L. T. Sunderland cf the Sunderland Bros,
company of Omaha talked along these sams
general line and gave soma very interest
ing Information relative to ths attitude of
the rsllwsys centering at Omaha, regaVding
weighing at destlnstlon points.
"They virtually refuse to weigh In coal
received over their own tinea here or that
which Is received from other lines, billing
only at mlna weight figures," hs said.
Randall Brown of Omaha attributed the
trouble to the policy pursued by the West
ern Weighing association, and he believed
the only recourse was through state legis
lation: II. T. Folsom of Lincoln was of a
similar opinion.
