Boy's Wear
?
It seems that the Ameiican Boy is the
most neglected of our domestic ani
mals. He gets a suit of clothes only
when he has completely grown apart
from his, present one. He backs out
of his pants, has a tie Dad couldn't
wear any longer, holes in his stockings,
never had a handkerchief and his last
winter cap is good until August. He
wears a flimsy sweater 'cause he out
grew his overcoat last year. Why not
fix the boy up a little he is proud of
the new things and you too will be
proud of him.

FIRE THIS MORNING
Landholm Garage and Building De
stroyed by Fire At 'Early Hour
$20,000 Damage.
This morning at- 7 ' o'clock the
building occupied .by the garage' of
Jess Landholm at: Weeping Water,
was completely destroyed by fire that
originated In. the garage, and despite
the strenuous efforts of' the Weep
ing Water fire department the build
ing was soon reduced .to ruins.-
The firemen resjonded at once to
the-call but the blaze spreading over
the oil soaked floors gave little
chance of saving the building and
three autos that were stored in the
garage as well as three barrels of oil
that were in the building added to
the intensity of the 'fire.
A party was living on the second
floor of the building and was res
cued with more or less difficulty by
the firemen with only a few bruises
and the effects of getting a large
tiumtity of smoke In his lungs but
it 13 thought he will suffer no ser
ious effects from the experience.
The building which ' was a two
story brick, was owned by Charles
E. Joyce and only a small amount
of insurance was carried -on it and
its contents.
This is the second experience in a
few months that Mr. Landholm has
had with destructive visitations of
fires, as his garage at Murdock was
burned down some time ago when
the William Gehrts building was
burned and the double loss will
prove quite heavy to Mr. Landholm.
The loss, it is estinitaed. will run
from $15,000 to $20,000, and the
amount cf insurance could not be ful
ly determined at the time of going
to press.

UNION LEADERS SAY COMPLETE
TIEUP TO AFFECT MANY
OTHER INDUSTRIES.
MAY BE LONG DRAWN OUT
No Federal Action Contemplated at
Present Time Kansas Tries
to Prevent Walkout.
Indianapolis, Ind., March 31.
Coal production was stopped tonight
by the union coal miners, who quit
their day's work in the mines of
twenty states with the avowed pol
icy of remaining idle indefinitely in
an effort to force the operators to
accept the miners' terms for new
wage contracts.
Officials at the headquarters here
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica declared that the suspension
would not only include a half mil
lion workers, but also that at least
100,000 non-union men would join in
the walkout. No last minute in
structions were issued from head
quarters and the only significant con
ference held during the day by Pres
ident John L. Lewis was with Lonnie
Jackson, president of the Kentucky
union district, where 5,000 union
men will continue at wcrrk because
their contract with the operators lies
another year to run.
During the dav Mr. Lewis declared
that the suspension of work by Kan
sas union miners would not be avert
ed by the action of the Kansas in
dustrial court ordering that wage
scales of the last two years be con
tinued for thirty days. In a formal
statement tonight the union chief de
clared the nationwide walkout would
affect "hundreds of thousands of citi
zens" not directly engaged in the
coal industry, and he reiterated his
charge that the operators "had forced
the strike upon the miners."
Numerous reports from the coal
fields of the country also reached
headquarters, which Mr. Lewis de
clared indicated a complete tie up of
all union fields. These reports alo
showed that 13.000 union men would
be left in the mines to protect the
properties from damage, and the
only trouble between operators and
miners in this connection was re
ported from Washington where the
operators were said to be objecting
to paying the wages provided for in
the contracts that expired at mid
night. I . ., ,
No Federal Action Yet
Washington, March ,31. Inderal
intervention in industrial conflicts
like the coal strike impending to
morrow it was declared on highest
authority today at the White House.
must necessarily be based on the
existence of public emergency, and
that emergency affecting the public
does not appear to exist at present
in the situation.
What may develop in case of a
prolonged industrial tie-up in the
view of President Harding, it is im
possible to tell, but at present the
government sees no reason to con
sider the use of troops to maintain
peace in the coal fields or to take
measures in anticipation of. dis
orders. MENTIONED FOR CONGRESS
In the list of candidates of the
third party proposed by J. II. Ed
misten. chairman of the state com
mittee, appears the name of ( E.
Whittaker of Plattsmouth, who is
given as one of the possibilities in
the First congressional district to
gether with W. F. Moran of Nebras
ka City and Fred G. Hauxbury of
Auburn. Mr. Whittaker is one of the
leaders in the state in the third par
ty movement and is a gentleman
who has the ability to present his
ideas on the questions of the day in
a most convincing manner and be
ing a member of the shop craft or
ganization is in a position to have
a thorough idea of what the workers
are entitled to and desire. As a mem
ber of the national house of repre
sentatives Mr. Whittaker would cer
tainly be responsive to the wishes of
the great common-people, something
that the average congressman lacks.

seem good, altho it is still quite
early to fully determine the outcome
of the case.
