-' Report for May.
LINCOLN. Mn S--(Sp lal.)-Mmber
of the Stat Rillway commission endeav
ored ti secure Information from th mirn
erou railroad employes who ore here pro
testing against' a duresse In freight ra(a.
regsrdlng the earnings of the several roads
they represent. I'pon this proposition
however the employe professed Ignorance,
answering the queailona Kim ply by saying
they Vnw nothing of the amount of money
earned by the roads, but they did know
many of their fellow employe had ben
laJd off and the houra of others had boen
reduced. It Waa their opinion thla was
done by the managers of the railroads be
cause of a reduction In the amount of In
come received by the roads, due princi
pally to hostile legislation.
The Information presented by the em
ployea has been something of a revela
tion to the railway commission. In the
matter of the number of employee who
have been let out. especially when consid
ered with the reports of the railroads of
the amount of the net Income for Nebras
ka for the last year and the large In
crease In the amount of money spent for
operating expenses. Each of the roads
ahowa a material decrease In net revenue
for the last year compared with the pre
vious year, due to Increase Is cost of opera
tion, yet the figure Indicate this state
has contributed considerable to the sur
plus fund of the various systemr.
The commission does not understand why
the employee of the railroads In Nebraska
should be In auch sore straits, as they
smdoubtedly are, according to the state
ments made at the hearings, when the
earning of the roads are considered. The
following two table show the net earn
ings per mile In Nebraska for the years
ISO and 190T except In the case of the
Burlington, where the 1!7 earnings. have
been computed for the six montha ending
In March, 1918. In the matter of the Union
Pacific the board apportioned a per cent
of the earning to Nebraska on a mil
eage and tonnage basis which ra road
representative said was fair:

Tsar Doiokof Make Plea.
In hi talk to the. commission thl after
noon Tony Donahoeof Omaha waxed elo
quent over th dlatregaed condition of rail
road employe, and made the atatement
that If hoatlle legislation wa kept up Ne
braska railroad employe might be forced
to emulate ttie Kentucky nlfrht rider.
J. W. Johnson, a section foreman of Ar
lington, employed by the Northwestern, told
the commission that under present condi
tion eeh trie ectlon 'mm were hurt.. H
waa not In tha confidence of the general
manager of his road, he said, and knew
nothing of tse flnn". 'nl condition of It
owner, but he did - that something
had caused many m id employee to be
let out of work, in l'."7. he aaid, every
section of the eastern division had a force
of ten men and a foreman, while thla year
the ectlon on gravel ballast have five
men. and on dirt ballast three metf. In
1907 the men were paid a minimum of 15
centi an hour. March 1. a cut wa made
to 14 cents an hour. All the freight coming
In over the Northwestern comes through
Arlington, he ald. and during the last
five months, compared with the prevlou
five month, the freight ha been reduced
80 per cent. Arlington, he aald. wa a coal
... m-f .t.tlnn. and for elsrhteen
year two coal heaver and frequently
four and all have been employed until
March, when all wre let out except one,
and he now ha to attend to the switch
lamp. During the last two week In
March, when the elevator men were trying
A t get their grain out to avoid the a
T eor. two helper were employed. The
assistant lt the agent ha been let out. A
conductor used to be employed a a pilot,
but he ha been let out because, said Mr.
Johnson, there Is nothing to pfTbt. The
pay roll 'in Arlington has been cut from
S1.12S to U9S A mantli. A reduction In
freight rate, said Mr. Johnaon. would not
make up to the merchants of Arlington
that fl.IOO a year lost by reason of the
reduction In the working force.
Numerous 'other employes spoks during
th day, most of the talk being long
similar line that . If freight ratea are re
duced, then wage come down ar.d no ono

MICH STORM DAMAGE AT BEF.MKR
Creek Otrrlow Cron Badly
WmiH 1b Many Place.
BEEMEK. Neb.. May tSpecial.J
Laat evening at about 6:30 a disastrous
storm passed In a northeasterly direction
through this part of Cuming county, de
vastating the crops. In some places the
destruction being almoat total. Northwest
of this place It developed Into a cloud
burst, accompanied by considerable hail.
The damage by hall Is not great, aa moat
of the corn la just up or coming up, but
the fall of water was so heavy the soil
shifted and covered tt up. Listed corn Is
either waahed out or covered so deep
with mud that the ftelda will have to be
replanted. Th rush of water In the
ravlnea and slough wa something ter
rible, and at thl writing hall and corn
stalk are lying In drifts on tha lowlands
In placea to a depth of three and four
feel. One farmer. John Tomrdle, Is the
only on who lust sny stock, h loalng
fourteen head of hoga by drowning In tha
pen. Fencea hare been swept away. The
loss. In tha aggregate, will be quit heavy
to the farming Intareat her. Th oldest
tnrabttant ha nothln gto offer to compare
with It.
Fraaer Creek, which run through th
aatpart oC town, and drains a territory
for five miles north a.id west, and which,
with the exception of a big rainstorm,
is nothing more than a ravine, went on a
rampago and did damage to village prop
erty to tho amount of hundreds of dol
lars. Two bridges across It were washed
away and the only way people living In
the east part of town could get horn
was by being ferried across In a boat,
and not then until between and 10
o'clock. The Plum Creek bottoms, north
of 'town Is all under water.
