Wilson Hat a Scheme
Today'a Omaha Bee sayt: The
machinists claim to have a plan
under way for the settlement of
their strike on the Union Pacific.
Vice-President Wilson has changed
his program of going west Friday
in order to promote this plan,
which, he sayp, will put a sudden
end to all differences If carried out
as designed.
Mr. Wilson declines to discuss
the scheme in detail, but says it in
volves the co-opcrattoit with the
strikers ot some of the leading
citizens of Omaha, who arc inter
ested m seeing the trouble settled.
He Bays the strikers are assured of
the support of these men and are
confident that an early termination
of the strike will be brought about.
"Does your plan contemplate a
compromise witu tuc company.'"
was asked.
"No, it does not. It contem
plates a settlement on the termt
demanded by the Ftrikcrs. It in
volves the repudiation of piecework
and the reinstatment ot all the
former employes who arc now out
on a strike. It our friends who have
promised their support stay with
us we are bound to win."
Prospects for fall trade in North
Platte are brighter than for several
years past. The small grain crop
will be the bebt in a decade, every
thing points to a jjood corn crop,
thousands ot cattle will be sold and
shipped, hogs promise to command
a good pric', and the sugar beel
crop will bring liity or seventy-
five thousand dollars ,into the coun
ty. The farmers will have. money to
spend this fall, and if the proper
efforts are mad-- and inducements
offered, the bulk of the trade from
all directions will come to this city.
The fall trade should prove i.
bright star of hope to merchants
who now find trade dull, due partly
to the mid-summer season and
partly to the Union Pacific labor
trouble.

The heavy rain Tuesday night
caused another break in the

E. F. Sccbergcr, who was at

nicely.
At the democratic congres
sional convention in Kearney
Wednesday, M. C. Harrington
of this city received the full vote
of the convention on the first
formal ballot. This vote was,
however, only complimentary to
Mr. Harrington, as it was known
that the populist convention in
session at the same time would
not endorse a d mocratic
nominee. .
In the past three or four days
eighteen additional men have
be added to the Union Pacific
force in this city. There arc
indications that more will be
added. There is reason to be
lieve that the Union Pacific will
about Uctoucr 1st take over the
active management of the St
Joseph tand (Grand Island and
that the shop work of that road
will be done in Grand Island and
Omaha, Finally ami perhaps
it is of greater importance-
there arc indications that Presi
dent Burt is decidedly pleased
with the fact that in the whole
strike situation only two men. in
Grand Island have laid down
their tools and especially with
the fact that the car builders of
this city were among the first to
declare that they had no griev
ance against the Union Pacific.
