POOR WORKING
CONDITIONS AT
U.P. SHOPS, CLAIM
Six Hundred Employes Make
Complaint That Discrimina
tion Is Made by Foremen,
Against Union Men.
' Resolutions' condemning the ineffi
ciency of foremen oyer employes and
poor working conditions at the .Union
Pacific shops, were drawn up by 600
employes of the shops who met in
joint session Friday night in the La
bor Temple, Sixteenth and Capitol
avenue. ;- -'
Representatives of the various local
organizations of boilermakers, pipe
nen, electricians, mechanicans, black
smiths, carmen and sheet metal
workers, were present and voiced
criticism of labor conditions of the
shops, declaring that "discrimination
is being evidenced constantly against
union men." -,';" - s .
F. M. Wagmari, representing the
mechanicians' union, said: "Some of,
our foremen, who are appointed froni
other shops, disregard Efficiency of
work altogether among the employes,
Particularly, they discriminate against
us union men. We are organized for
ur own welfare. We have absolutely
no grievance concerning wages; all
we demand is better working condi
tions and a chance to forge ahead
for promotions."
f y Men Show Patriotism.
Bernard Carvello, secretary of the
hniler-makers' union, was diairtnan
of the meeting. He said: "We have
shown our'spirit in the shops by
following the orders of our foremen
to the letter. - We have worked over
time without murmur; our patriotism
in response' to the Liberty loan and
war savings stamp drives has been
unequalled, in " proportion to our
numbers; we are responding willingly
to the call of the army and' navy.
Now, we ask fair play concerning our
demands." '
F. L. Behm, head of the mechan
icians' union, said: "Our object is to
obtain higher efficiency in our work,
while in turn' we ask our employers
to regard our competency and recog
, nize our unions."
A committee was named to meet in
conference with the officials of the
shops with the object of arriving at
a settlement. " Another meeting is
scheduled to be held Monday night in
the Labor Temple,

SPEAK IN OMAHA
SATURDAY NIGHT
(Continued From T.g. One.)
while on his way home from Africa,
that Roosevelt dropped in at a few
of the European capitals. He called
on Kaiser Wilhelm in Berlin and re
viewed some of the Huns and during
the last year the colonel has had a
.strong desire to review those Hohen
eollern troops again,
Teddy was in Omaha for a few
hours on an afternoon in April, 1903.
He was on his way to Keokuk to
join a party of governors in a trip
down the Mississippi river in connec
tion with inland waterway improve
ments. On that occasion he , was
driven up town through lanes of
cheering Nebraskans. In his honor a
salute was fired from an old cannon
Court House Employe Asks That
He Be Placed in Draft Contingent
Sidney J. Gottneid, journal clerk in
the office of the clerk of the district
court, where he has been employed
for the last seven years, filed a re
quest, which was granted, with the
local exemption board, that he be
placed in the draft contingent, which
will leave Omaha June 24. Bottneid's
place in the draft would not 'require
his service for nearly a year.
He is the only son of Mr. and Mrs.
C. T. Gottneid, 2729 South Twenty
third street. He was born in Omaha.
brought home by Company L, Thurs
ton rifles, from the Philippines. He
was interested in the history of the
old weapon. : :
Here in 1900. ,
Colonel Roosevelt was here in 1900,
at the close of a strenuous campaign,
when "McKinley and Roosevelt were
words which reverberated throughout
the land. Roosevelt's vigorous per
sonality impressed Omahan's on tHajt
occasion. '
"The many-ided Roosevelt," as he
has been reterred to. expressed a hk
ing for the west as lQng ago as 1883
when he acquired ranch lands in
South Dakota. One of the legends
ot Medora, b. D., relates to an oc
casion 35 years ago when the former
president, then a comparatively young
man, came to town and was looked
upon as a tenderfoot. The old guard
of the hills brought out a broncho
known as "White-faced Kid," and
stood around while Roosevelt culti
vated an acquaintance with the
cayuse. The critter had thrown
"Hellroaring Bill Tones" more than
once and expectations were . that
Roosevelt would be picked up in
pieces. The cclonel, however, nego
tiated the animal and after that, he
was ace high with the hillsmen.
That Boxing Incident.
Omaha remembers when Colonel
Roosevelt introduced boxing at the
White House and suffered disclora
tion of an eye when an opponent
landed on his optic, and Omaha re
members that he advocated national
preparedness for this country at the
beginning ot the European war.
The west has read that Roosevelt
is: "A fine, brave, hearty, honest,
manly fellow, trained in many schools
of life, absolutely democratic, ab
solutely American, ambitious with a
high ambition and having a singular
gift for inspiring a personal liking or
disliking, as the case may be. There
is nothing of the dummy or wax fig
ure about him."
The man who popularized the
strenuous life has requested that his
visit to Omaha this week shall be
"quiet." That is his usual request,
because it may be that when the train
arrives he will be absorbed in a book
or writing an article and may not be
in the mooti to be disturbed. But as a
rule when the committee explains to
him that Omaha insists in extending
the strong hand of western hospital
ity, he will smile (remember that
smile) and will acquiesce in the ar
rangements. He may go up in one of the bal
loons at Fort Omaha. He has faced
an angry rhinoceros and an enraged
lion in Africa and thert is, no tell
ing what T. R. is going to do next.

More Li ght Less : Heat ;

The evenings are a bit warm, you may think but presently
they will be hot, and in Nebraska, during July and August, hot is
spelled in capital letters, too I
; . About the living room table, or while ( you' are dining, or
when you attempt that greatest luxury of all-reading in bed
you may find that the lighting produces so much additional heat
that the discomfort is,more than you can bear.
There is no reason why the pleasure of summer evenings
at home should be spoiled by incorrect lightingfor any lighting
that produces excessive heat is incorrect, which Your Electric Serv
ice Company is prepared to prove. l )
; The modern Mazda Electric Lamp represents the very pin
nacle of prpgress and development in that line-r-and one of its
features is a greatlyjlessened heat unit coupled with much brighter
and yet softer light.
As we have often endeavored to impress upon the users of
electricity for house lighting, it is necessary that a Mazda lamp,
designed to be used with a certain voltage, Be Used Only With
That Voltage!
If the voltage is too high or toolow,for a particular lamp,
that lamp will give less light or will use more current or will last a
shorter period than in case the adjustment has been perfect.
, Our skilled sales force on the main floor of the new Electric
Building, Fifteenth and Farnam Streets, Is prepared to demon
strate every known variety of Mazda'Lamp? while our Service De-'
partment will assure you the proper lamp for the voltage furnished
inyourhome. ; tv.
This will help you solve the excessive heat problem dur
ing the summer months a problem which will become more seri
ous as the weeks roll by. ' - '
