THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY. JULY 12. 1918. Street railway men to explain to war board Washington Officials Call for Explanation of Conditions Existing in Omaha: Less Strike Talk Heard. Washington, D. C, July 11. (Spe cial Telegi am.) Omaha street rail way officials have been asked to pre sent their reasons for refusing to ac cede to the demands of their employes, to the war labor board of which ex- President Taft and Frank P. Walsh of Kansas City are prominent mem bers, according to a statement of Sec retary Louck today, but the time for this conference has not been fixed and will not be fixed until the present session of the board is concluded. Mr. Louck said that employes of the Omaha street railway made cer tain demands on the company which the company (lid not see ht to grant. When the employes were asked if they were wining 10 suomit tneir griev ances to the war labor board they said they were, but the officials de dined to do likewise. Matters became serious and Mayor Smith intervened by outtine the case before the war labor board as things were threatening to interfere with war enterprises. Views of Taft- Apropos of the present situation on the 'Omaha street railway ex-Presi- Ctnt latt has a signed editorial in to day's Philadelphia Public Ledger in Which ht says among other thinsra: Action of tht national war labor boarct-n often misunderstood because the nature of its functions and the rules of decision by which it is guid ed are not clearly kept in mind. The purposed its appointment was to aid aximum war production by furnish ing a means of settling industrial dis putes without strikes or lockouts. "The president appointed the board and described its functions and the foles to govern its action in accord with a constitution, so to speak, that had been agreed upon in advance by the representatives of workers and employes. Each side agreed not to tue weapons m their controversies 2hich by law they had a right to use. ach side agreed to submit to the conciliation of the board and if need be to ultimate arbitration under the .machinery provided, "One of the rules for determining the issue of wages was that every worker should be allowed a living wage wmcn win insure the subsist ence of the worker and his family in reasonable comfort Questions in Cleveland. "In a hearing between the street ear companies of Cleveland and De troit and their men the companies pleaded that they should not be re quired to raise wages because they had no income out of which to pay the increase. They said 'we are working under a franchise by which we receive'only 3 and 4 cents for a passenger carried many miles and if a substantial increase of wages be granted bankruptcy and a receivership must follow.' 'The joint chairmen of the board ' of arbitrators in these cases held that ,the financial condition of the company could not affect the issue which they must decide. Exigencies of War. "It is impossible to escape this con clusion. The rights of the people to low fares secured by the local franchi ses of street railways may be waived for them by the city or the state in time of peace. In time of warwhen congress becomes supreme in matters of defense and offense, congress may waive those rights and suspend them ; for the war. "Whether the existing federal legislation the au thority to exercise this power is much more doubtful. If he concludes upon consulting his legal advisers that he does not have it congress should at once give it to him." Strike Talk Dies Out 'In the Silent Drama Blmlto In "Her Final Reckoning" her to day and tomorrow, Pauline Frederick Is given an opportunity to display rate artistic powers In delineating the part of Marsa, the natural daughter of a Kussian nobleman and gypsy girl In Paris In tne scenes of the play. The play portrays In sensational scenes how the girl has been wronged In her youth by a rascally Russian count, and when she finds true love In the person of Prince Zilah her old affair haunts her and causes infinite trouble in Its disclosure. Miss Frederick depicts these stirring scenes In a vivid manner and In the end love Is tri umphant and in the reckoning she finds that she Is far ahead of those who care to harm her. Mo George Walsh, the marines and the American flag share honors In "The Kid Is Clever," the attraction for today and Satur day. Walsh fans will no doubt derive much fun out of thts offering. It tells of fic titious South American republic, and how our hero, as Is always the casa In pictures, got the best of the natives. The United States marines come to the rescue as usual with a liberal display of the American flag. "The Eagle's Eye" and News weekly complete the bill. Strand In' "Vlrlette" the feature film for the last half of this week at the Strand theater, Vivian Martin portrays the role of a young. Impulsive English girl whose charms attract men to her as the flame at tracts the moth. When Dick Ware, a primi tive Englishman, strong and masterful! de Clares his love for her, she coquettes with him and then devotes her attention to Dick's brother Austin, and later to Lord Banstead. She dangles the three upon her fingers, sporting with them, loving each In greater or less measure, but In her heart of hearts, the big primitive man's Image lingers with increasing affection. After many scenes of Intense interest and not a few serious com plications, Dick's strong primitive nature wins her love and both find happiness in their mutual affection. Sun William 8. Hart In "The Return of Draw Egan" put a muizle on the bad men of "Yellow Dog," a western town with plenty of whisky and noted for Its high mortality rate. "Draw Egan" himself la an ex-holdup man who has been separated from his partner when the two of them flee from a posse after a stage coach robbery, but when he Is Invited Into Yellow Dog as the semblance of law and order he accepts and soon reduces the bad men to mild-mannered cltliens by the power of his gun play. Then Egan meets Margery Wilson, a dark-eyed, pretty girl and a romance follows which blda fair to become broken up when Oregon jos, jcgan s lormer partner in holdups, re turns and threaten to expose him.

Talk of a strike has subsided for h present, at least, says General Manager Smith of the Omhaa street railway lines, adding that all of the old employes fully under stand the situation. Some of the more recently employed men are still discussing a strike in an ef fort to bring about a change in work ing hours and an increase in pay.
