For example. Adjutant Ness, matron of the rescue and ma ternity home in Omaha, accomodat ing one hundred and twenty-five girls, is paid a salary of five dollars a week, she is capable of command ing a salary of from seventy-five to one hundred dollars a week in any hospital. The members of the local corps of the army receive a salary of eight dollars a week, the three dollars over and above Adjutant Ness is jiid in view of the fact that they board themselves, while Adju tant Ness Is furnished board. The maternity home' has out prov.n its capacity and steps are be ing taken to erect a new one. more commodious and of later equipment; perhaps you are thinking, how can this home be of interest to Cass county people. listen, ninety-five per cent of the girls entering the maternity home como from the rur al districts. When a girl leaves the home it is with the assurance that if the struggle ever becomes too heavy for her to bear, she may return and they will care for her.

NEBRASKA NEBRASKA I LUIS RATS- yu no RAIL STRIKE CALLED OFF BY BIG FIVE BROTHERHOOD CHIEFS AFTER CONFERENCE WALKOUT SCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY, OCTOBER 30, STOPPED AT ELEVENTH HOUR MEN PLEASED AT OUTCOME. Chicago, Oct. 27. The strike scheduled for October 30 was avert ed tonight, when leaders of the switchmen, trainmen, conductors, .engineers and firement at a joint meeting adopted resolutions with drawing authorization of a walkout and officials of the railroad telegra phers' organization announced they would take sirniliar action. These were the only unions which had au thorized a strike. The vote calling off the strike was Lee, president of the brother hood of railroad trainmen, an nounced. The ollicial wording of the resolution adopted was that the "strike be declared not effective." The vote in the individual unions was unusually close, however, the firement particularly holding leng thy arguments before agreeing to cancellation of the strike order, the labor chieftains said. In some of the groups the ballott was described as "the closest in history on a sirnil iar question." The differences were ironed out by the different unions, however, and the final showdown found all of them casting their bal lots for "no strike." Why it Was Called OS L. K. Sheppard, president of the order of railway conductors, said that the unions had decided to call off the strike because "of the grow ing public opinion that the strike would be against the labor board, snd consequently against the gov ernment, and not against the rail roads." "It wa. evident also that the en tire Washington administration was opposed to us and that we have had little chance of gaining our objec tives. " said Mr. Sheppard. "We call ed this strike to gain certain rights to which cur men were entitled," Mr. Sheppard told the Associated Tress. "It soon became evident, however, that the roads were succeeding in their misleading propaganda, to the effect that we really would be strik ing against the government. "This railroad propaganda found its way to the United States railroad labor board. This government agen cy told us that it would look on a strike as against it and the govern ment and not against the roads, and that the full force of the govern ment would be trough! to bear against us if we'walkej "but. Under SHch circumstances there was noth ing to do but annul our orders for the October 30 walkout." L?e Makes Annciinrement The first announcement of the ex ecutives action was made by Mr. Lee. RuhinsT to the floor below the hotel meeting room where dozens of newspaper reporters were congre gated, lie smilingly shouted: "Tho strike is off. boys, but I've only got one copy of the resolution and I'll show that to you tomorrow." All of the union men were smil ing as they came out and many of them jocularly 'pushed and shoved each other down the stairs. To all r;uer:es. most of them merely repli ed: "It's all settled; see you tomor row." The code message calling off the strike, arranged in advance, will be sent out tomorrow morning, the un ion heads said. A code word will lie sent to each general chairman of the unions and he will in turn for ward the orders to. each of the sub ordinate officials under him.

Financial Loss Due to Colds It is estimated that the average man loses three days time each year from inability to work on account of having a cold. Much of this loss can be avoided by treating every cold as soon as the first symptoms of the disease appear. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has won a wide repu tation and immenre sale by its cures of this diseas e. Try it. You are cer tain t" be pleased with its pleasant tacte and the prompt relief which J it affords. Union leaders said that the reso lution adopted by the labor board announcing that no further wage re duction petitions for any one group f employes would be considered un til rules and working conditions for that group had been settled was ' decidedly instrumental" in bring ing about the action calling off the walkout. They declared that they be 1 eveed under this resolution it would be months before their pay i.gain could be reduced. labor Ecarcl Gratified The union resolution immediately was communicated to the labor hoard and proved particularly grati fying to Waller MeMenimen, mtm 1 er of the labor group, who was in strumental in bringing about the :ettkment of the crisis. Mr. Mc.Menimc-n. a personal friend of Mr. Lee, and a former trainman, paved the way for conferences be tween the board and union men. particularly those today, which were i.ddressed iy Ben Hooper, member of the public group. "I r.m immensely gratified," said Mr. McMeninun, when informed of the employes' action. ""It takes a. reat worry off my mind and I am Mire it wiil be best for all." Mr. Hooper expressed himself as "tickled to death" over the cancel lation of the walkout order. "I am glad the railroad employes have taken kucIi wise action," he raid. "They have taken a step which they will never regret and which ; ill bring them approval from ev- ryone in this country. A railroad .-irike at this time would have brot ( n almost inconceivable hardships ; i- everyone. "I ant particulars- glad that the .orl.l d:s:u imiment conference now rnn go about it- work in the capital 'f n:' t ion twh i; h i not torn by an internal industrial dispute." Spirit r.f Forgiveness Members of the labor board said that the action of the labor leaders meant "that. the board's decision on jr -terdav's conference between the hoard, the unions and the railroads f determine If the transportation ret had been violated in the strike r.cllvities, wouirj.be decidedly mild." The board, which today informed the unions' that they would "han file them wiih ungloved hands" if they "did' not' call ofT the strike by morning wclld take the attitude row that the dispute had been set tled and that consequently the mat ter again was out of its hands, members said. Tho decision, one member said, probably would be a recital of the events leading up to the conference, .".ml then a nine statement that the "board see nothing further to do," lumbers f-aid. The decision probab ly will be issued nbout 10 o'clock tomorrow immediately after the icl;grams calling off tho strike are .m: out by the heads of the unions. These are scheduled to be filed at 9 .!. m. In discussing tho resolution an :"uling the strike order, the union jre.-idents declared that its outstand ing feature was that it "was based n the statements made today to the unions by Hen Hooper of the board that wag" reductions wrmld not be i cr.- idered by the board for any em ployes until the rules and working conditions for those employes had been settle!."

CASS COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL IEET CLOSES VERY PLEASING ADDRESS GIV EN BY MISS MARGARET ELIEN BROWN. From Sntu'Jiy's Dally. Last evening saw the close of the convention of the Cass County Sun day School association at the Meth odist church in this city and despite the very unpleasant weather condi tions prevailing there was a very pleasing attendance of the delegates and those interested in the Sunday school work of the city. The afternoon session was large ly devoted to the discussion of the business affairs of the association and the selection of the officers of the association for the year and the following were elected to fill the tlifl'erent positions: President, George P. Shackley, Avoca: vice president, Jesse P. Per ry. Plattsmouth: secretary. Miss Xora Eveland. Elmwood. Superintendents children's de partment: Mrs. Robert Alford, Elm wood; Home dept..

Mrs. Fred Zink, Elmwood: Voung Peoples dept., Miss Marie Stroemer. Alvo. Miss Margaret Ellen 'Brown held a meeting at the auditorium of the public library during the afternoon for the children of the city and some 175 were present to enjoy the very entertaining program of the gifted speaker. In the evening the devo tional period was led by the Rev. W. A. Taylor of Union and was fol lowed by the address of Miss Brown. In her address at the evening ses sion Miss Margaret Ellen Brown gave a review of the work of the world's Sunday school convention at Tokio, Japan, and covered in a very thorough manner 'the results and impressions that she had gathered at the meeting which was atended by representatives of the Sunday school work from all the countries of the globe. Miss Brown also gave a very entertaining account of the foreign countries that she had vis ited and the work there for the church and Sunday school and those who were in attendance felt that it hal been an address that was price less in its value to the auditors who are keeping a keen interest in the church work. The convention did not make a selection of the meeting place for next year as there were no towns extending an invitation and this matter will be decided upon later by the officers of the association.

Another fight in the senate over the sol diers' bonus bill was launched to day by Senator Reed, democrat, Mis souri, who introduced an amend ment to the pending tax revision bill to enact the bonus legislation which was committed to the finance committee last July at the request of President Harding. Sen. Reed's amendment proposed to raise a spe cial fund in the treasury depart ment for expenses of the bonus plan by continuing excess profits taxes on corporations at 1921 rates. Republican leaders characterized the Reed amendment as "political play" and predicted the amendment OUR CORRECT pre perfectly made. 4 i.'-u .i ' Don't think that "tailors" do not make our clothes. On the contrary, the BEST TAILORS on earth put their best workman ship into our suits and overcoats. The BEST MATERIALS also go into our garments.

Republican spokesmen declared they intended to follow President Harding's recom mendation that action on the bonus bill be delayed until the national fi nances were in better position to bear the expenses involved. Senator Reed sought to call up his amendment late today, but it went over under - a prior agreement, to consider other provisions of the tax bill, republican leaders said they planned to move to table the amend ment as soon as it was called up, which would result in debate being shut off.
