Audience Scored for Jndiffcr

Hide From Maker, At
aerU Speaker.
The Gipsy Smith campaign, or the
demand (or a religious revival in
Omaha, wai not planned by man, it
was the will of God working through
his meitengers, declared the evan
gelist at the noon meeting for btui
ness men and women at the Urandeis
theater yesterday. Several hundred
men and women heard the two 10
ininute sermons by Rev. E. L Jenks
and Gipsy Smith.
"God is in Omaha," Gipsy Smith
said. "He is everywhere these re
vival meetings are being held. He
i making you think of Him in all
these meetings. You wouldn't think
of God if He didn't awaken the
thought."
Scored for Indifference.
The men and women again were
scored for tbeir indifference to Christ
and the Holy Spirit.
"If it wasn't for public opinion and
the taw, how far would you go?" he
asked. "Many of you would do dif
ferently if there was no law or pub
lic opinion to hold you in check.
"You can mould public opinion in
your favor and you can evade the
law, but God sees every inner
thought and every action. There is
no hiding anything from Him,
"At I was leaving the Auditorium
last night a woman stopped me and
said: You said something that
' want to argue with you.' 'You have
no argument with me, I replied;
. Your argument is with God; I am
only Hit mouthpiece. Have it out
with Him.' ,
Services at Plants.
"God often humbles before he con
verts your spirit. If He wants you,
He'll get you. Follow that urging
toward Uoa. XJon t frustrate the di
vine purpose in your heart; God
wants you."
The first floor pf the theater was
filled. Special meetings are being
held each noon at the packing plants
in South Omaha. Omaha ministers
' are preaching noonday sermons to
the workmen.

Washington, Oct. 24. Back from
a trip into the middle west, where
he was reported as having made an
informal survey of. the railroad
strike situation. The attorney general
later in the day conferred with
United States District -Attorneys
Havward of New York, Clyne of
Chicago, Wertz of Cleveland. Lock
wood of Buffalo and Van Nuys of
Indianapolis. The conference was
for the purpose of mapping out
plan of action in event of a strike.
They are to confer with lit Oaugh
ertv .aaain. tomorrow, when instruc.
tions are to be sent other district
attorneys to govern their actions in
the event of a strike. .
Consider Strike Plans.
Professing his disbelief in the pos
sibtlity of a general strile materializ
ing, Mr. Daugherty declared the con,
ference was called for an "under
standing in any emergency." Beyond
mention ot the conspirary laws ne
did not discuss details of the de.
partment's plan, but indicatedthat it
was believed, on the strength of
supreme court decisions, that the
government has the right to protect
itself from a paralysis of the coun
try's transportation facilities and the
power to use any laws applicable to
accomplish that end.
"The district attorneys came," he
said, "for a conference and an under
standing in any event and. in any
emergency. J still don t believe there
will" be any strike, but it is the duty
of the Department of Justice to be
prepared in any emergency for
prompt action it necessary.
"Uniformity of proceedings and
policy was determined upon in any
event. They came to discuss .fully
the various plans of the department
in the. event of a stnke.
Didn't Discuss Merits. '
"We did not discuss the merits or
matters in dispute between the rail
roads and the employes. The De
partment of Justice takes the posi
tion that it has nothing to do with
the merits of the controversy.
Ihe department prooably would
concede that the men have the right
to strike, that they even have the
right to strike in groups. But it
would not say they can strike in
srroups throughout the country with
out violating conspiracy laws by an
tagonizing the government of the
United States.
The department would not con
cede there would be no violation of
the conspiracy statutes for a great
body of men all over the country to
agree to paralyze its transportation
facilities. The department would
say they could strike peaceably but
when it comes to the government's
interests and interests of. the public
in these facilities the government
has the power, right and duty to see
that the owners' of the railroads give
the American people the service they
are entitled to. . ,
Vital to all People.
More people are interested in the
transportation facilities than there are
in the controversy. This conference
was for the purpose of obtaining con
certed action and harmony of effort
to the end that the railroads may
give continued service without any
interruption and in order that the
public may be served.
It is the duty of the department
to provide for the transportation for
people who travel and the transpor
tation of food and fuel with winter
coming. ' The government has the
power and ample authority. It will
oe prompt and as reasonable as it
can, but these arteries of commerce
must continue to serve the people.
Property must be protected, life
preserved and order maintained and
the government is bur enouch to see
that this is accomplished."
Before meeting the district attor
neys, Mr. Daugherty called at the
White House and is understood to
have received President Hardinar's
approval of the department's plans.

Cleveland, Oct. 24. W. S. Stone,
president of the Brotherhood of Lo

cd, there is no open c-reak be
twejn the "Big Five" railroad trans
portation organizations and the or
ganisations of snop cratts wnicn
have Voted not to join the strike
set to begin October 30.
"There is no open break. The sit

ganization is free to use its own
judgment. Each organization pre
serves its own autonomy." This wis
president Stone's reply when asked-
u me action oi inc inuui citiu m
voting not to follow the lead of the
"Big Five" indicated an open rupture
of relations. , '
See "Runaway" Strikes.
Some subordinate brotherhood of
ficials intimated, however, that tlfere
was a strong possiDinty. in tneir
judgment, that many members of
other railroad labor organizations
would follow members of the "Big
Five" should they leave the service,
regardless of their leaders' instruc
tions td the contrary.
Mr. Stone refused to comment on
reports from Memphis, Tenn., that
general chairmen of the engineers'
brotherhood had received advice
from him that it was not necessary
for them to attend the Chicago con
ference until he knew which chair
man made the alleged statement and
corroborated the report.
President Stone also stated that it
was his understanding that the vice
chairmen as well as general chair
men have been summoned to ippear
at the Chicago conference with the
labor board Wednesday. Asked what
effect this might have on the direc
tion of the strike in case those chair
men are held in Chicago for some
time, Mr. Stone said:
"It is unnecessary to leave any
official in charge. The clerical force
can take care of the work."
Doesn't Change Order.
W. G. Lee, president of" the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
response to telegrams from his
general chairmen asking for instruc
tions regarding their appearance in
Chicago Wednesday, notified them
to obey the labor board's citation.
