Railroad employes met In trass meeting
at Labor temple Monday night to form an
organisation of the railroad men ef Ne
braska for the mutual Benefit of th men.
Although the meeting was not formally
announced until Monday afteNaoori it, had
been planned for some time In advanre and
representative of the different organisa
tions of railroad employe were present
from the farthermost corner of th atate.
Th speaker protested against the hue
and cry which he been raised on all aide
against the railroads, saying that It wa
reflecting directly on them by forcing the
railroad manager to reduce their force
because of the decrease In revenues.
Norman E. Allen,- representative of the
firemen . of the Burlington ' system, aald
the movement had been Incubating for
some time and that while It wa to be na
tional In Its scope, Nebraska wa to be
the first (tate to form It organization.
Representatives of the employe -,i all the
Nebraska railroad addressed the meeting,
which wa held In the large auditorium of
the Labor temple, which was filled to over
flowing. They told of the hardships which
It alleged were worked upon the men
by the reduction of forces, and all the
speaker urged that all unite to head off
any more adverse railroad legislation.
Text Resolatlona.
The object of the meeting wa set forth
In the following resolution, which wa
adopted:
Where, There has been presented to th
State Rllway commission of .4he atate of
Nebraska, a number of conplaint from
shipper of commodities over th railroad
of the stater of Nebraska, asking for a
reduction of freight rates, and
Whereas, We. the emploves of the, sev
eral rnllroads In the atate of Nebraska, be
lieve that any further reduction of freight
rate will have the effect of causing a
still further reduction of expenses by the
railroads, and will result In taking from
the service of the railroads a large num
ber of employes, and In a reduction of
working hours of a larae number of ihnat
employes still left In service, and
Whereas, Wd do not believe that a re
duction of freight rates will result In mak
ing the necessaries of life any cheaper to
the consumer, and
Whereas, W do not believe that a re
duction of frelirht rate will result In anv
benefit to the general public, but will re
sult In aa Increase In the else of the
enormous trains now hajrfed by the rail-
vi Line maie ana in noaing to me
work of the men employed, and at the
same time reduce the working force of
the railroads, and
Whereas. A reduction of freight rates will
have a tendepcy to retard Improvement
of our railroHdn and to atop the building
of much needed new lines of road, and
our state l still in need of morn rail
roads for the development of nearly the
whole state, and
Wherea. The reduction which have al
ready been made In the earning of the
railroad of this state have resulted In
reducing the working forces of th state
at least 60 per cent In the last year, and
believing that the railroad emplovea, who
number more than aO.OfiO In this state,
should at least be heard and their peti
tion given some consideration, therefore
be Jt
Resolved. By the railroad employe of
the state of Nebraska In mass meeting as
sembled In the city of Omaha this 27th
day of April, that we are bitterly opposed
to any reduction of freight rate In this
atate at this time, and
Resolved. That a we represent more
than 20.000 cltlxens. taxpayers and laboring
men of the state, that a committee be sent
to appear before the State Railroad com
mission and petition the commission to
take no action tending to reduce the frelsrht
rates now in force on the railroad at thla
time, and
Resolved, That a maintenance of the
present rates will resi'lt In 'greater good
ro a greater numner or resinents and tax
payere of the stats than a reduction of
rstes could possibly benefit.-
Resolved, That onr committee be In
structed to use every honorable means to
Induce the State Railway commission to
make no further reduction in the freight
rates st tHs time and to urge that the
State Railway commission give the em
ployes ' of the railroads of thl state a
chance lo anpear before them and show
why no further reduction of freight rate
should be made.
Plan of Organisation.
The following resolution, which s. waa
adopted, sets forth the plan of tho state
organization:
Resolved. That a committee be elected
to perfect s state Organisation; that thla
atate committee consist of two employes
from each railway within the atato; that
If each railway does not elect Its members
of the committee that the state commit
tee bhall consist of the men of the rail
ways that have elected their member, and
that any railway that ha not elected
its coAnniittee. may at any time do so and
become a part of the state Organisation.
Resolved, That the state committee thus
formed shall elect a chairman, vice chair
man, secretary, aasliitant secretary and
treasurer and the committee shall have
power to represent the employes of the
railways within the state of Nebraska be
fore tha State Railway commission.
The railroads of tho atate were all reS
resented and tit) executive committee wa
ready for a meeting a aoon a the mass
meeting had adjourn M
State Conaaalf.ten Organises.
After the jnaas meeting had adjourned
the state committee organised y elect
ing' the following officer: F. M. Ryan,
Burlington, of Lincoln, chairman; W. J.
Hulae, Missouri Pacific, of Auburn, vloe
chairman; M. J. Roche, Union Pacific, of
Omaha, secretary; P..-H. Morrison, North

RAILWAYS PLEAD NOT GUILTY
Superintendent Park Says Action of
Men I Entirely Ppoa.
tnneona.
"The action of tjie railroad employe waa
entirely spontaneous," said W. L. Park,
superintendent ot the Union Pacific, speak
ing In reference to the action taken by the
employes of the various railroad at the
mas meeting held Monday night at Labor
temple. 'The railroads, so far aa I know,
have taken no action In the matter, al
though we ar npt opposing the move."
' The' thing which haa aggravated the
men at thla time," said another official,
wlio feared the use Of hi name, "waa the
discovery that the 'railroad are getting
7 in Ills a ton a mile for hauling freight,
while- In England they ara getting 7 mills.
The pay of the employes of the English
railroads is 60 per cent less than In this
country. The tendency to reduce rates
must necessarily be met by the railroads
in decreased expenses, which ordinarily u
done by Increasing the tralnloads. In I8s7
th average net ton trainload waa 17 ton
and twenty year later It wa $35 tons, in
dicating thai, while rate have gone down,
the railroad have" been able to meet thla
by Increasing the tonnage.
"The men had an Idea, that the aixteen
hour law would reduce- the tonnage and
all the assiatauc they rendered for the
passage of that law was actuated by that
Idea. Hie sequel haa demonstrated that
It doe not hve that effect, aa the rail
road must practice economy necessary to
earn dividends, even if It la necessary to
shorten freight terminals to more nearly
mllea each, which the Northern Fa
clfle Is now doing extensively.
"The men feel that through the strength
of their orpranlintlona n,, C'.ntlPgney of
reducing Wages Is remote, but they dally
realise the Increasing work by reason of
Increased tonnage to offset the Inroads on
the earning power."

At the First Methodist Episcopal church
last night Mrs. Mabclle Crawford Wclpton
gave her annual song recital to a large and
appreciative audience.
Mrs. Welpton has devoted much more
of her time to teaching during the past
year, and It la hoped that as the month
roll on she will re-enter more and more
the professional field which she forsook
almost entirely- at the time of her mar
riage. ;
Mra. Welpton i too good a linger to
hide away from the world. She I neces
sary In the present generation of con
traltos, who bottle up their tones and throt
tle the art of enunciation. There i sun
shine' In 'the voice of Mrs, Welpton and
the clouds are fleecy white one, pot thunder-clouds,
as In the case of other pro
fessional contraltos who have visited
Omaha. '
One thing alone Mrs, Welpton and the
present writer could never agree upon, and
that Is audible, breathing, so let that pas
in the consideration of the excellent thing
of the program which thl artiste had pre
pared. The program wa very extensive In Jt
cope, ranging from the "Dutch Clock" to
Strstiss' difficult "Serenade." Th Schu
mann numbers were given with artistic
perception and consistent feellnfc. The
"Sandmaennchen" showed some beautiful
mezza, voce work; the tempo wa unusu
ally alow for some reason.
But the beautiful number by Augusta
Holme, "La Belle du Rol," was th one
which first brought out the reality of Mr.
Welpton'a voice. It 1 certainly a contralto,
rare and beautiful and ot large compass,
Thl aria waa written by the Irish com
poser of Franc! For Mile.' Holmea waa
born in Ireland. Later In the program,
that lovely rosy quality of tone waa
brought out In the "Ballad of the Tree
and the Master.'' The poem Is a gem of
the first water, by Sidney Lanier, our
American music dreamer, and the setting
la of rare gold, by Boston's George W.
Chadwlck. It was sung with deep religious
reverence and earnest feeling.
Three songs the singer was compelled to
Ing over again, owing to the vociferous
demands of the enthusiastic people, and
they were, "I Know a t Lovely Garden?
"April Rain," and the "Dutch Clock."
The aria,. "II Begrcto.f by Donlxettl, wa
sung distinctly well and evoked plaudits
of approval. One of the'gems of the eve
ning was "Mother Sleep" surely an in
spiration on the part of., Lisa Lehmann
and sung with fine discrimination and gen
uine interpretation.
Mrs. Welpton- has a Suave' and magnetic
manner on the recital atate, and la always
surrounded by -an atmosatrare ot graceful
and gracious quality. , v.
The accompaniment wera' .played in th
most artistic manner by. Madame August
Mothe-Borglum a fact which goes with
out saying. ' '
Mr. Turner closes her 'concert manage
ment of the season with this recital, and
he has done a needed work In Omaha and
ha done It well. k.

Compulsory vaccination received a body
blow at the hands of trie committee ot
the whole of the council Monday after
noon when It adopted resolution to re
Teal rule $1 of the health ordinance
which provides that no child can attend
school at any time.whether an eplJemla I
prevalent or not, unles he had been re
cently vaccinated. Dr. R. W. Connell,
commissioner of health, talked strongly
for a substitute ordinance doing away
With aome of the drastic feature of th
old rule, but the tldo had already act too
strong from talks by Superintendent Da
vidson, President Cole and Member Chris
tie of the Board of Education and Attor
ney Herring of that board, and th resolu
tion was adopted with but one dissenting
vote.
Those speaking for the repeal of t'.i
rule called attention to the fact that over
09 children are out of school because
they are not vaccinated and declared that
the law give them the right of a free
education, and they should not be de
prived of thl right during time when
an epldemlo I not prevalent or even Im
minent because their parent will not let
them be vaccinated. The health commia
kloner contended that it Is better to lock
the barn before than after the horse la
stolen and that- the time to guard against
an epidemic 1 when there la no epldemlo.
Most of the afternoon wss taken up In

The Cellar Hole and the
Sewer Hole.:
By HERBERT KAUFMAN,,;; J
' A coal cart stopped before an office building In "Washington
and the driver dismounted, removed the cover from a manhole
ran out his chute ,and proceeded to empty the load An old negro
strolled over and stood watching him. Suddenly the black man
glanced down and immediately burst into a fit of uncontrollable
laughter, which continued for several minutes. The cart drivei
looked at him in amusement. "Say, Uncle," he asked, "do yot
always laugh when you see coal going into a cellar?" The negrc
sputtered around for a few moments and then holding his hands
to his aching sides managed to say "No, sah, but( I jest busts
when I sees it goin' down a sewer. 1 .
The advertiser who displays lack of judgement in selecting
the newspapers which carry his copy often' confuses the sewer
and the cellar. . ' -
All the money that is put into newspapers isn't taken out
again by any means. ZThe fact that all dailies possess a certain
pnyicai nueness aoesn t Dy any means signuy a similarity in cnar
acter, and it's charactemn a newspaper that brings returns Tho
editor who conducts a journalistic sewer finds a different class of
readers than the publisher who respects himself enough to respect
his readers . " "
What goes into a newspaper largely determines the class of
homes into which the newspaper goes. An irresponsible, scandal
mongering, muck-raking sheet is logically not supported by the
buying classes of people It may be perused by thousands of read
ers, but such readers are seldom purchasers of advertised goods.
Til. Al- - -1 i J 1 1 ! 1 B
it s tue ciean-cui, nieauy ,normai-mmaeu citizens wuo ionn
the bone and sinew and muscle of the community.- It's the sane,
self-respecting, dependable newspaper'that enters their homes and
it's the home sale that indicates the strength of an advertising
medium. ' .
No clean-minded father of a family wishes to have his wife
and children brought in contact with the most maudlin and banal
phases of life. He defends them from the sensational editor and
the unpleasant advertiser.. He subscribes to a newspaper which
he does not fear to leave about the house.
Therefore, the respectable newspaper can always be counted
upon to produce more sales than one which may even own a larger
circulation but whose distribution id in ten editions among mi
profitable citizens. -
You can no more expect to sell goods to people who haven't
money than you can hope to pluck oysters from bushes.
It isn't the number of readers reached, but the number of
readers whose purses can be reached that constitutes the value
of circulation. It's one thing to arouse their attention! but it's a
far different thing to get their money. The mind may be willing,
but the pocketbook is weak. ."".-,
If you had the choice of a thousand acres of desert land or a
hundred acres of oasis, you'd select the fertile spot, realizing that
the larger tract had less value because it would be less productive.
Just so the advertiser, who really understands how he is
spending his money does not measure by bulk alone. He counts
productivity first. He takes care that he is not putting his money
into a sewer.
