Senator O. B. Courtrlght, who snys that
Julian Richards of Waterloo will have no

WOUM IN CLUB AND CHAR T Y.
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.

preaaed with Meetlngr.
Mrs. Emma F. 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

warmly welcomed, but the American com.

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

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

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.
