STILL CONTINUES POORLY
The latest reports from the beds id
of Mrs. II. W. Smith state that this
lady is still in very serious condi
I tion and her failure to rally from
I the semi-unconsciousness condition in
which she has been for the past six
days is causing the keenest apprehen
sion te the family and attending phy
j sicians. The case was determined
uPn yesterday as being the malady
known as "sleeping sickness" and
eeping sickness and
which has been developing through
out this portion of the United States
in the past few months. Mrs. Smith
has aroused several times since Sat
urday, but not for any extended per
iod and she at once lapses into the
comatose condition which she has
laid in for the past few days.

. WORKERS WIN RAIL DE
CISION; IMMEDIATE ABRO
" CATION IS DENIED ROADS
FEDERAL BOARD TO CONTINUE ITS HEARINGS
V PENDING COMPLETION OF WHICH NO
J REDUCTION IS AUTHORIZED.
Announcement of the railroad labor board's refusal to permit imme
diate abrogation of the national agreement and reduction of wages of the
shop craft and maintenance of way employes, was received with interest in
this city, where the interests of several hundred workers in the Burlington
shops are concerned.
The decision of the board will have the effect of preventing an im
mediate decrease in wages, although the roads have informed the board it
it their intention to confer with employes regarding a reduction in the
wages of unskilled labor. The board will continue its hearing, at the end
of which action may be taken, but for the present and pending completion
of the hearing, the roads stand tied
tional agreement.
Chicago, Feb. 10. Decision of the
railroad labor board today that the
national agreements shajl remain in
force until completion of the pres
ent hearing was characterized to
night by railroad employes as a vic
tory. The ruling came as a surprise,
both to railroad and labor camps,
and upset plans of union officials
for a bombardment of the railroads'
request for immediate abrogation of
the greements.
Fortified with a legal battery
headed by Frank P. Walsh, the la
bor representatives appeared to an
swer the request of W. W. Atterbury,
speaking for the railroads, for quick
abolition of the national agreement.
The'boards decision against grant
ing the request left little for the
labor men to do except file a state
ment prepared by . M. Jewell, presi
dent of the railroad employes' de
partment of the American Federation
of Labor.

prepare his testimony met with pro
test from the rail representatives,
but' he promised to canvass the sit
uation tomorrow and 'advise the
board Saturday when he could pro
ceed. Says Issue Not Rules
Both sides expressed gratification
that the hearing would proceed in
the regular manner. W. W. Atter
bury, speaking for the railroads, de
clared that "if there was urgency on
January 31, when I made the re
quest of the board, there is still
more now. December reports show
that 115.000 miles of railroads did
not earn their operating expenses '.
and fixed charges for that month."
The railroads have contended that
abrogation of the agreements would
mean a big cut in their operating
expenses.
W. J. Lauck, consulting economist
for the labor men. however, declared
the real issue was not the rules,
"but what they concretely sanction
the principle of collective bargain
ing on the basis of union recogni
tion. "When this principle nas received
the board's sanction, no further dis
turbances or acute controversies
will occur on the railroads." be said.
The board's ruling reviewed the
powers deleated to it. and declared
its duty to be that of deciding just
and reasonable wages, salaries and
working conditions. It said that
pending the outcome of the rules

agreement from the wage hearing
LEAGUERS HOLD SOCIAL MEETING
From Friday's Dally.
The members of the Senior "Ep-
worth League of the Methodist
church enjoyed a very delightful val
entine social last evening at the
church parlors and the occasion
proved one of the greatest pleasure
to the members of the party who had
gathered to celebrate the approaching
anniversary of the occasion when the
little cupid is supposed to hold sway
over his subjects. The parlors had
been arranged in keeping with the
spirit of the occasion with decora-
( tions of hearts and cupids and amid

voted one of the most pleasant that
the league had held for some time.

a matter outside the board's juris

go to the interstate ' commerce com
mission. The executives' request for permis
sion to pay common laborers on the
basis of the scale prevalent in differ
ent localities was also denied, and
leaves the basic railroad rate at 37
to 4 8Vs cents an hour.

The ruling pointed out that the
transportation act provided that it
was the dutj- of carrier? and em

said it did not appear any attempt

Atterbury's Comment
The only comment by railroad
managers on the board's action was
a letter from Mr. Atterbury to Chair
man arton of the board, saying:
"Your board has very properly
said, 'all questions involving the ex
pense of operation or the necessities
of railroads' are under the jurisdic
tion of the interstate commerce com
mission. If there is any doubt in
the mind of the board of the correct
ness of my statement of the serious
financial condition of the railways, I
beg you to request immediately a
statement from the interestate com
merce commission.
"You say that 'the boar dis not in
sensible of the fact that the national
agreements affect the expenditures
of the railroads and that if they are
unjust and unreasonable they consti
tute an unwarranted burden upon
the railroads and public. This mat
ter of rules and working conditions
has been in controversy since the
railroads were returned to private
operations.
"With regard to the wages of un
skilled labor, the Association of Rail
way Executives will take immediate
steps to have that matter presented
in conferences between individual
carriers and their employes."
STILL UNCONSCIOUS

ONE IS BORN
EVERY MINUTE
Nebraska City People Have Had Ex
perience With Sight Unseen Buy
ing That Should Be a Lesson
From Friday's Daily.
Our neighboring city of Nebraska
City, was visited recently by a dapper
appearing gentleman who was sup
posed to represent a tailoring estab
lishment that would prepare and turn
out clothing for those who desired it
at the small figure of $15 per suit,
$5 down and ten smacks when the
suit was delivered to the purchaser
if the purchaser was satisfied with
their "bargain." The Nebraska City
News states that some twenty or more
men are supposed tt have fallen for
the cheap prices "that made the suit
at pre-war bargain figures and in
each case the $5 was collected by the
gentleman and the would-be purchas
ers 'have been waiting and longing
for the new "duds" which they had
selected but they have come not, al
though the period of ten days has
long since elapsed. Some have been
waiting thinking perhaps there had
been some delay at the "factory",
while others have kissed the five spot
a last long farewell and are prepar
ing to secure their spring front of
one of the reliable clothing stores
where they know their money will
buy them something worth while. It
is strange that people will rush in to
contribute their hard earned "jack"
to some Tague and unknown propo
sition when they know that. by pat
ronizing the home stores they can
get what they want, have.it delivered
at once and if not. satisfactory the
storekeeper stands back of his sales.
Buying at homeis always the safest
as you can see what you are getting
and know that your money is not be
ing "miked" from yo.u.

BUILDING OUTLOOK
iu pitv ic nnnn
111 UI I I IO UUUU.
For Many Building Projects as
Material is Going Down.
"While the general note of condi
tions in Jhe country has been of a
pessimistic note for the past several
months it is pleasing to see that the
outlook for a resumption of a great
activity in the building line seems
at hand in this community. As
was stated a few weeks ago in this
paper, the price of building material
has come down within the reach of
those who have been holding up their
building projects for the past year or
two and they are now preparing to
get busy and erect the new homes
and builidngs they have been contem
plating during the period when the
lumber and other material was at
the peak of the high prices.
The city is assured of at least one
new business building during the
next few months which will be one
of the most up-to-date in the city in
every way and in addition to this
there are several new residences that
are in contemplation in the city and
immediate vicinity that win add ma
terially to the building record for
the coming year.
The past two years has been very
slack in the way of building with the
constant mounting cost of building
material holding back the parties,
who might desire to erect new homes
or business houses but the dealers
in the materials that enter into the
building trade are quoting prices now
that makes it possible to erect a
building at a cost that will save hun
dreds of dollars over the last two
year's prices.
