    CHARGE ROADS
VIOLATE LAW
Nebraska Railroad Workmen
Demand Flagmen on
Passenger Trains
Lincoln, Neb., ,_, (Special)—
Representatives of the Brotherhood of
Railway Tratnmen have filed com
plaint before the state railway com
mission against the Union Pacific,
saying that It is violating the state
law which requires that a fcrakeman
or flagman must be hired for every
passenger train of five cars or less.
Tiie complaint charges that the crew
of the motor cars consists of a con
ductor and motormon only. The
railroad holds the Mate law plainly
refers to trains and not to motor
cars, and points out that the last
legislature turned down a request
of the trainmen to make the law ap
ply to motors. The question Is of
unusual importance because most of
the roads are talking of substituting
motors for branch line pa-osenger
trains.
The trainmen also filed complaint
that the Burlington was violating the
law requiring three brakemen on
main line freight trains from Alliance
to Edgeniont.

LINCOLN GAS
WAR RENEWED
Big Companies Cut Price
Cent Below Municipal
Filling Station*
Lincoln, Neb., _ (SpecUl)-—
The gasoline war has broken out
afresh. The municipal filling station
and two o>- three independent deal
ers who operate retail places have
been selling at 14 cents. The big oil
companies paid no attention to this
cut for several days, last wreek all of
them cut to 14 cents. This was fol
lowed Monday by a cut to 13 cents
by the city and the independents.
It is expected that the big fellows
will follow suit, as they have adopted
a policy that they find forces the
price cutters to raise. Whenever the
city, for instance, sells below the big
companies, it gets a big volume of
trade, hut the other firms have found
that people will buy only from the
city when the price is lower. J.iy
meeting the price they pull down the
volume of city trade, and as its over
head lemains the same, it must, in
order to avoid loss, raise its price.
'Then U.' .others follow suit.

supplies i’ o n brokers largely, some

vides that ihe state may be made a
garnishee defendant in actions of
creditors of state employes and
which was believed by the legislature
to have been necessary as the result
of the state having entered into vari- ,
ous businesses, will be tested in the
supreme court as to constitutionality.
There are now pending in various
parts of tile state approximately 50
actions in which the state is made,
garnishee defendant, and in some of
those the attorney general's office
has entered questioning the validity
of the act on the ground that the
title of the law Is not sufficient to
cover the subject matter of the body
of the act.
This was a special act of the legis

ATTORNEYS SAY NEBRASKA
COMPENSATION LAW DOOMED
Lincoln, Neb., i ^ . (Special)—
If attorneys are to be believed, the
workmen's compensation law is
doomed. The supreme court is to re
hear a case from Omaha next Mon
day, in which it had previously held
that after an Injured worker has ac
cepted compensation he cannot sue
a third party at common law for
causing the injuries. A labor attorney
from Omaha wants this decision re
canted, and says that if it is not the
workers will refuse to accept the
terms of the act.
The other side argues that the com
pensation law was legally substituted
for the right of action for damages at
common law, and if a worker Is to
have two bites no employers will elect
to come under the law because they
-will be paying twice for the same in
jury, in two different and legally op
posite ways.

The recent letting of road contracts

road in Sarpy county that Is neces
sary in order to provide a graveled
highway between Omaha and Lincoln.
This was let to L. W. Wachtler. who
will get his gravel close at hand.
The total of contracts awarded was
$387,000, as compared with an esti
mate of $500,000 made before the let

sented by contracts for which bids

part of the Cornhusker highway that
lies in Thurston county, and it is ex
pected that by using materials at
hand the cost will be less than any of
the contractors were willing to do the
Job for.
