WOBBLIES" OVERRUN COUNTRY,
RIDING ON TRAINS AND EN
FORCING DEMANDS.
L
incoln. July !S. Iteports that
the lines of the P.urlingtoti in Ne
braska have been virtually under con
trol of the I. W. W. for the past
week or two were con firmed today
J. A. Spere. trainmaster of the road
here. Spere admitted that the "Wob
blies" have been riding on the freight
trains at their pleasure and that the
road's force of special agents could
not cope with their numbers.
"We have not been able to do any
thing with them." he declared, "and
they have, in turn, refused to allow
any other men bound for the harvest
fields to ride unless they could show
a red card."
Spere declared, however, that the.
heavy traffic in Nebraska has ended)
and that the "Wobblies" are now upj
in North and South Dakota.
There are camps at Seward and
Fairmont, the trainmaster declared,
where twenty or thirty of the "Wob
blies" may be seen at any time.

bers they board the freights with im

aboard at favorable opportunities.
One Gets Thirty Days
Dozens of men climb down from
incominir freights at Omaha, making
no effort at concealment. They say
they are hunting work. .Many of them
openly defend the I. W. W. organiza
tion when it is discussed.
Al Hudson, of Bisee. Arizona, an
I. W. W. organizer, drew a jail sen
tence of ::o days in Omaha yester
day on the charge of vagrancy. Ho
admitted to an officer that the I. W.
W. is making a supreme effort to
net in all the members they can.
Organizers, he said, are working the
main lines of north and south and
east and west travel and "line up"
the hoboes who climb aboard the
trains and collect for a red card
or the man goes back on the ground
or is forced to rid- the bumpers or
rods.
Such organizers are remitting large
sums constantly to the main I. W. W.
office in Chicago and according to
Hudson if is not uncommon for a
man to send in $1."0 after one trip
out on the road.
While, as stated above, the menace
of I. W. W'ism has not made itself
apparent in Plattsmouth it is a prob
lem that must !): coped with and we
feel confident that should the time
come when our own city seems liable
to be overrun with the "Wobblies."
citizens of the community will stand
together as a man in combating them
and driving Ihetn from our midst, as
was done so successfully tit Aber
deen. South Dakota, last week.
From Wednesdays Pally.
The July community ale held to
day in this city was far and away
a great deal more successful than
that of June when the merchants
thought that they had secured ex
cellent returns and in many cases
the July bargain offerings will total
HiO per cent more business than at
t he opening sale.
j The visitors this morning in the
city embraced people from all over
Sthis section of the county as well as
la large number of cars from -Mills
j county. Iowa, and the visitors were
' feeling amply repaid for their journ
i cy in the exceptionally fine offers
; made by the merchants of the ;ity.
i From all over Cass county came
the seekers after the bargains and
they were all well pleased with what
had been placed on the sale at the
i special prices. While each stoic was
featuring some special line for the
i day there were hundreds of bargains
; of all kinds on at the stores and
I which caused the saving of many
.dollars to the careful shopper ami
brought pleasure alike to the mer
chant and tlse purchaser.
The lines of goods prepared for the
.special advertised bargains this
'month was larger than last month
i'.:id a number of the business houses
. which had doubled their previous
'orders were swamped early in the
day with the buyers and their stocks
; depleated before the noon hour.
Sptcial orders were sent to the whole
. sale houses to supply the lines of
special iurgains and pending tneir
arrivals the orders were taken down
to riipply at future deliveries.
There is no question but that the
.-ales day was in every way more
successful than that of last month
and it has had a most pleasing ef
iect on the merchants as well as the
having public to prepare for even
larger day's business when the Au
gust sale is held.

of tlse iiiem-

Park in that city and the occasion
I was one of the most complete en
joyment for all of the hoys who had
.availed themselves of t lit-. opportun
ity of going.
j The members here were somewhat
disappointed in their plans as to cars,
i tif convey the members to Omaha as
i for a time it seemed that it would
( be out of the question to get accom
odations for till of them but a large
J truck was finally pressed into service
jthat carried twenty of the boys and
! made it. possible for everyone who
desired to attend the event.
On arrival of the party at the park
the Omaha chapter had a fine picnic
supper awaiting them and to which
the Plattsmouth and Cass County
members did ample justice and which
served as a pleasant opening of the
festivities tit Omaha's leading amuse
ment park. The members of the party
were addressed also by Dr. Zoro
Clark, one of the leaders in the De
Molay in the nation and who is heart
and soul in the cause for the bene
fit of the youth who are members
of this order.
The Omaha chapter had provided
some very entertaining amusement
for the occasion and at which the
hosts and guests alike derived a
gnat of fun and which served to
pass the time delightfully combined
with the many devices that the park
contains for the entertainment of the
visi tor.
The Omaha chapter had thought
fully provided the visitors with tick
ets to many attractions of the park
and the guests were treated in a
manner that impressed them deeply
with the kindly feeling of the Oimiha
boys. The dancing pavillion was one
of Hie big points of interest Tor the
young men and this was filled al
most constantly with t lie visitors un
til the hour for coming home, altho
the other attractions were not neg

FARMER RELIEF BILL
LEADS IN SENATE
Anti-Beer Measure Is Sidetracked
to Consider Export Fin
ance Problem
Wasington. July IS. Pleas for
immediate enactment of the Willis
t'ambell antiinedical beer bill fell on
deal" ears today in the senate, which,
by a vote of 4 7 to 17. decided to give
priority to the Norris farm export
finance bill.
Delay, and not defeat, of the beer
bill, it was said, would result, the
senate vote being regarded as ex
pressing the view that aid to farm
ers was more of an emergency than
the amendment to the Volstead law.
l!y making the Norris bill, to cre
ate a federal corporation, with $10.
OOti.ooO. of capital and power to is
sue $1,000,000,000 of securities in
financing for exports, its "finished
business" with daily privileged stat
us, the senate somewhat set its fut
ure program. During the week the
senate expects to pass the Shcppurd
"baby bill" for government aid to
maternity and infancy. Other meas
ures in immediate prospects are the
Sweet bill, to co-ordinate soldier re
lief agencies, the administration bill
for refunding the allied debts, and
several farmer relief measure.
Prohibition leaders urged the sen-
beer measure in
bill. but the sen-
pleas of the ag
ate to take up the
stead of the Norris
ate heeded counter
ri:ultural bloc.
Those in charge of the ber bill
planned to call it up for an hour or
two daily until, under senate rules,
it is forced to give way to tne Nor
ris bill. When the beer mk-hui-c
could be passed under this proce
dure was said by its manager.- to b"
problematical. They expressed beli-f
that the treasury department would
continue to bond up regulations per
milting prescriptions of beer as med
icine. Fourteen republicans and ihrec
democratic senators voted in opposi
tion to taking up the Norris bill
ahead of (he beer measure. Among
republicans were Cummins, low;:;
Kellog, Minnesota; Knox, Pennsyl
vania; McNary. Oregon; Nelson.

Sterling. South Dakota. The demo
crats were Ashhurst. Arizona; Shep

Announcement!
Owing to the big crowds attending and the popular
merchandise that we put on sale for "Bargain Wednes
day, we were practically sold out by 9 o'clock. '1 his hap
pened after our best effort not to have it this way for
we in the store all gave it our attention and together de
cided we would have enough of the bargains to last 1 1
day and wc all feel ashamed of the poor guess we made.
Also feel sorry for the people that came to gel these
worthwhile goods and then were disappointed.
Wc are unable to get more of this merchandise for a
month at least and for that reason do not oflcr to fill or

Each succeeding sale day we learn and feel sure this
mistake will not happen again.
