AFFAIRS AT SOUTn OMAHA Through tha Women's Trades Union lesgue an Important movement has re cently been set on foot which has for Its object an Investigation by the United Statea Bureau of Labor of women and children In Industry, with special reference to the economic effects of their labor and the re actionary effect of the change In con ditions upon tha homes and domestic life of the country. Miss Jane Addatns, Misa Mary E. McDowell of the University of Chicago Settlement and Miss Lillian D. Wald of tha Nurses' Settlement, recently visited Washington for tb purpose of con sulting President Roosevelt and other tn the matter. It waa learned that the De partment of Labor was willing and anxious to undertake the work, but there are no funds available for the purpose, nor was It possible for the department to ask an appropriation by congress for the work. It Waa agreed that the only way to secure the Investigation waa through pressure brought to bear on congress through or ganisations of women. The Industrial com mittee of the General Federation of Wora en'a Clubs has been asked to, make an ap peal to club women on behalf of the move ment and It has aent out a circular letter to all clubs having an Industrial committee, directing them how to work. The chair man of each committee haa been asked to writ a letter to the senators from her state and representatives from her dis trict asking them to support the movement. Tha letter should be signed by every mem ber of the club. There has been no official Investigation of women In Industry for ten years and the facts gathered at that time are valueless today. Mra C. S. Cuscaden. vice president of tha fourth district, . Nebraska federation, haa been working under difficulties In her effort to hold a convention at York this month. That city has so many conventions scheduled for this month that there seems to be no-time for tha women'a meeting, i.ewever, the club women have not given up and tha meeting: may be held after all.

Byers, general aecretary, and Miss Mary Anthony, financial secre tary of the local Young Women'a Christian association, ' returned Thursday morning from Detroit, where they represented the local organisation as its first delegates at the national convention of the American committee, Young Women'a Christian asso ciation. Both are enthusiastic and full of plans and Ideas to be applied to tha local work. "It was the most ' remarkable meeting I ever attended," said Mrs. Byers. "It is wonderfully encouraging to find women of such broad culture, social and Chris tian, ' assembled tn the interest of this i em wore. umana s delegates were warmly welcomed, but the American com. mltjtee ha never urged ita views of basts upon, us nor upon any othef Independent association, In comparing the local work with that or Detroit. which with Ita model ouiiaing stanas in the -front ranks of association ork. Mrs. Byers said that Omaha Is very weak In Its educational departments. psrticularly in tne industrial and gymnasium depart ments. This is because we have not the facilities for carrying on th work. If wa had a building like Detroit has I should not hesitate to bring In a domestic science teacher here at $100 a month and have n fear but that the department would pay ior useir. Tne Detroit school of domestic science conducted by the association has proven a solution of the employment bureau problem. They take th girls and train them and then can recommend them to service, knowing what they are doing, ana so csn require ror tne girls adequate pay for their work. Their dressmaklne classes Include hundreds of women think what that means? Our Omaha lunch room, however, surpasses anything that I heard of. We take care of more girl at tha noon lunch than any of the other in pro portion to th alse of our city. Nowhere have I found an association aa Independent of outside support as our own. The other associations, especially the big ones In the esst, look to the city for help and they get It. too. The Omaha Bible classes ars strong, too. We have larger classes than many of the associations that employ trained teachers for this department. Al together, we were proud of our own asso ciation." While tn Detroit Mrs. Byen was as signed (o speak at the famous McGreggor Mission for men and addressed an audience of about 200.

Mrs. Har ford, Mrs. Byers and Miss Anthony have returned from the national meeting at De troit, where they represented the local as sociation aa delegates. A. full account of the meeting will be given Monday evening at the twelfth anniversary meeting of the association to be held in the rooms. Tha annual reports of the association post poned from the annual meeting will also be given at that time. There will be no overlap In any of the city funds this year If the" present plan of economy Is kept up till the close of the fiscal year, July 31. City Clerk Gllltn Issued a statement last evening showing the con dition of the funds up to K.ay 1. From all sources the municipality received during the fiscal year 1181,118. of this amount there had been drawn on May 1 the sum of $123,372, leaving a balance of 158.TM In the clty'a strong box. This amount will pay all necessary expenses for May, June and July. In August the 1906 levy will be available. It has been the aim of the city council all through the fiscal year to keep expenditures down as low as possible and to save money wherever a saving could be made. A great deal of credit for this Is due to the finance committee of the coun cil and also to the mayor, who appears to do all ha can to cut down expenditures. One Item In the clerk's report is a refund from the Rock Island road of 1504, paid by the city for maintaining lights at Rock Island crossings. The scavenger fund also helped out considerable, and there Is now In this fund 14,707, which will go toward reducing the 1906 levy. There is a respectable balance In every fund, with the possible exception of the judgment fund, which is down to $22.43. City officials are confident that unless some thing happens to causean unusual expendi ture of money the . city will got through the fiscal year with a balance on hand. Conditions are better than a year ago and taxes are being paid promptly, which goes to show that property owners have money and are paying taxes to save ac cumulated Interest. There haa hardly been a time in the history of the city when trto finances were In a better condition than At the annual meeting , of the English literature department held Wednesday morning it was decided to' carry on the work next year under the leadership .of six associate leaders Mesdamea F.

Live stock man are connlderably inter ested in the announcement that the law which requires live stock In transit to be unloaded, fed and watered at intervals not greater than twenty-eight hours Is to be strictly enforced. It is alao understood that this law Is to be enforced at terminal points aa well aa on through lines, which means that the practice of leaving stock trails on sidings at the various live stock mar kets for hours at a time will have to be discontinued. That will necessitate the employment ot more . men at the stock yards, for otherwise when receipts are heavy it would be lmposulble to unload the trains aa rapidly as they arrive, that this law will be of benefit to that market, and, in faet, to all river markets. Live stock shippers know that If stock, after being on the cars for twenty-eight holirs," is unloaded for twelve hours, as re quired by law, and then reshipped, the shrinkage will be greater than If the stock had been run straight through without be ing unloaded. Of course. ty leaving the atock at the feeding atatton for twenty four to forty-eight hours this excess shrink age can be largely offset, but, on the other hand. It Is rather expensive keeping stock at feeding station, and, bestdea that, so much tim 1 consumed that by the time J the market is reached conditions may be entirely different .. than they were at th tim of loading. Owing to these facts ship pers undoubtedly will patronise the, mar ket which they can reach in twenty-eight hours or less, so as to avoid feeding In transit. . Stock Mnst Be Fed. The usual run from Omaha to Chicago Is about thlity-slx hours. That, of course, means that stock cannot be shipped from any point in Nebraska to Chicago with out feeding tn transit. It also means that shipper In the western part of Iowa will favor South Omaha so aa to avoid feeding In transit. The run from western Ne braska to South Omaha can be made in twenty-eight hours, but In order to make the run to Chicago the. stock would hav to be unloaded at South Omaha or some near by feeding station and then unloaded again at some atatlon In Illinois. Ship pers In Colorado, Wyoming and other west ern statea also will find South Omaha more available, as they can ship to some of the various feeding stations In Nebraska, such aa Alliance. North Platte, Grand Island, Sidney, Norfolk, Lincoln. Valley, Fremont, Aurora or Falrbury, and reach tha market with one less stop than by going on to Chicago. But whiU thl twenty-ajg ht-hour law will hava a tendency to help the river markets, by far th majority of th oper ators on thos , market would prefer to have thb tim limit extended to thirty-tix or even to forty hour. they believe that th present law If atrlctly nforced will work conalderable "hardship on live stock shipper. Th general Impression Is that but for the opposition of humane so cieties thl would hav been done some time. ago. Live stock men aa a whole do not gre with th human societies that keeping, stock on cara for forty hour caute great ufferfng. On More Vital Phase. There Is' another phase to the live stock situation- wnlch - Is causing considerable anxiety. This Is In regard to the claim made by the Chicago Live Stock exchange that railroad should charge no more for hauling live atock than for' hauling live tock product. On January 7 the Inter stat Commerce commission decided the question In favor of the Chicago exchange, but the railroads hava made no change In their rates. The Interstate . Commerce commission, to ' enforce this ruling, hs iow died a petition for an injunction In he .United statea circuit, court at. Chicago against th Chicago Great Western rail road and seventeen other ral'.road to restrain them from making a discrimina tion In prices for shipment of live cattle and dressed meat to Chicago. In speaking of this action a South Omaha cattleman aald this . controversy la typical of the Chicago exchange. The Chicago market could not ask for anything better than to have the rat from Missouri river polnta to Chicago tha same on live stock and on the finished product. If that wer the cobb there would certainly be no ob ject in packers buying supplies at the river markets, for they would be making money by letting the owner of the live stock ship them on to Chicago and of standing the loss occasioned by the greater shrink. The majority ot tha Bouth Omaha live stock men, however, do . not believe that, the court will sustain the Chicago ex change, a It 1 thought that If tha rail roads deslr they can prove that the cost ot transporting live atock 1 greater than that for transporting the finished products.
