Obtain Ruling of High Court
in Case Where State

Officers - of '.Central Labor union

tion, to the state supreme court. The
injunction has been pending against
the union for several months and no

reached. -
A. H. Bigelow, attorney tor tne
union, spoke at a labor meeting held
last night in the Lyric building, and
advised the members of the Central
Labor union to, take action against
the injunction by appealing the case
to the state supreme court.
He said: "Your appeal to the state
f' supreme court will have an untold
value to labor whether you win or
lose the . case, and favorable indica
tions point to a victory for you. You
a never know what the settled law ot
the State is in regard to the action of
labor in tjie case of layoffs or strikes,
and your appeal to a higher court will
decide this. ,
"You have succeeded so far in the
contest with yotir employers and I
now advise to complete your appeal."
This injunction case has attracted
nationwide attention. The Central
Labor union received a letter from
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor requesting a
full account of the state's decision in
the case.

OF OFFICER'S HAP
Man Earns Titlq of "Greased
Pig" by Numerous Escapes
From Grip of Policemen
and Sheriffs.
South Side police are after Joseph
Vodek, whom they call "the greased
pig" because he has eluded the officers
so often.
Vodek first stepped into the lime
light when he escaped from Sheriff
Hutter of Papillion who arrested him
at Sarpy Mills orf a charge of deser
tion from the army. Vodek left the
sheriff to step in another room for his
coat. He "stepped" some distance be
fore he was caught and taken to Fort
Crook. At Fort Crook he was sent
to the hospital. Nurses left him for
a moment and when they returned
he, had gone. He had made a bare
footed, pajama-clad get away. The
police were notified but no one found
the fleet-footed patient.
Saturday Vodek stepped into the
limelight again by cashing a $20
worthless check in Wisner.
Sheriff Sexton of Cuming county
caught Vodek and made up his mind
to bring him to Fort Crook and hand
him over to the officials. He brought
him to Omaha and boarded a Fort
Crook car with him. In a few min
utes they would be at the fort. Vodek
was chewing tobacco. He wanted to
spit. He went back to the door and
thrust his head out. Then he slid off
of the car. Police are still looking for
him.

Railroads are strained to their limit today to supply transportation
for man and merchandise.
The automobile has stepped into the breach, and is the second greatest
factor in meeting the national need for more more more transportation.
You must keep your car fulfilling its part of the need,
keep it ready day or night to do its part in your transportation service,
keep its "feet" well shod,
give it the tires that have stood, and are continuing to stand, the
test of mileage,
the tires that give low mileage cost and high anti-skid service.
Put United States 'Royal Cord Tires on your car make compar
isons for yourself .
"Use your car,
passenger or com
mercial, more and
more to relieve
the transportation
pressure on the
Nations railroads
