MEN SCHEDULED TO STRIKE Chicago, June 30. the following table, prepared from information supplied by the federated shop crafts, indicates the number of men in each craft, scheduled to go on strike at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning: International Asociation of Ma chinists, 60,000.

He is popular with the people and has always been a vote getter.- He was elected the first time he ran for lieutenant governor by a ' majority over his principal opponent of 22,864 which was increased the last election to 77.400. In that elec tion he polled 10,530 more votes in this district than did his democratic opponent and 4,206 more votes than both his opponents combined. One of the strong arguments in favor of the nomination and election of Mr. Barrows is tiie fact that if elected he will not go into congress handicapped by being unknown. Prob ably no man has ever gone out cf Ne braska for a good many years who has become so well known over the entire country as he. As Commander-in-Chic of his national organization, traveling from one coast to the other, speaking in most of the important cities of the United States, he was accorded enthusiastic receptions wherever he appeared and was greeted by many of the prominent men of the coun try. Naturally members cf congress, and he is personally acquainted with many of them, will be interested in knowing the type of man the First Nebraska district is sending to take the place of Congress man Reavis, one of the very well known members of that body. Should Lieutenant Governor Barrows be elected, he will go to "Wash igton with the prestige of being known and step into that body known either personally or by reputation by a large number of ita members. This will mean a great deal for this district and with the experience wMch the lieutenant governor has had in public life, will be a valuable asset to Nebraska. NemaJia County Republican. BURLINGTON SHOP EMPLOYES WALK OUT THIS MORNING AT 10 O'CLOCK; STRIKE IS ON PRACTICALLY 100 PER CENT OF MEN OUT, UNION OFFICIALS STATE ONLY A FEW OF THE OLDEST EMPLOYES REMAIN. 500 OUT STORE HOUSE Workers in That Department Will Continue, as Their Agree ment Over Wage Schedule is Not Out Until Feb ruary Pickets Now on Duty. This morning when the stroke of 10 o'clock was sounded the shop crafts affected in the recent strike order, ceased their labors in the lo cal Burlington shops and to the num ber of 415, quietly and without dem onstration, laid down their tools and left the shop grounds and the strike that has been pending for the great er part of the last year and a half was on. The local shops were practically 100 per cent in the strike as far as the crafts affected were concerned and only a scattered few of the older men who were completing long years of service, remained in the depart ments affected. The carmen, vblacksmiths, machin ists, boilermakers, sheet metal work- ; ers and electricians were the crafts ' ordered out. The brass moulders, who are not in the unions in the walk out as well &s the laborers who are in the maintenance of way union, i are at work as are the clerks and j platform laborers at the store de partment. The strike came very peaceably as the men quietly left their work in perfect order and the railroad com pany adopted no hostile attitude in the matter. The statement as to the railroad view of the matter is that it is a question between the railroad board and the labor organizations and not the railroad companies. There will be no effort made by the Burlington to import workers or to operate their departments aside from those which are not affected by the strike and with this atitude there is little probability of any violence or demonstration. The labor organizations will es tablish a peaceful picket of the shop plant as is allowable and look after the interests of their cause. Chicago, June 30. Federal inter vention by the United States railroad labor board today failed to halt the strike of 400,000 railway shopmen called for 10 o'clock tomorrow morn ing. Flouting, according to Chairman Ben W. Hooper, the board's efforts to effect a settlement of the shopmen's grievances before the walkout took place, B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts union and the six internation al union heads, refused to appear for an official investigation of the strike by the board. No further attempt to forestall the strike would be made, Chairman Ben V. Hooper announced in adjourning the federal body's in quiry. A threatened strike of 400,000 railway maintenance employes was at least postponed, however, by the board's intervention. The strike of this group which had been expected, to parallel that of the shop men. will wait further action of the or ganization's executive council, ac- cording to tne announcement ui ju. X. vi i a Hie utLUlc luc uuaiu iua " 1 - noon. Labor Board Can Do No More Chairman Hooper explained it was not the board's purpose to "prevent any one striking." but that it did de- y ss - t X v ... $ FORCE NOT AFFECTED "no practical purpose could be serv ed by compelling the presence of B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts at an adjoured hearing tomorrow, the day set for the shop strike. The board, Mr. Hooper declared, has served the full extent of its au thority, acting under the transporta tion act. He declared that Mr. Jew ell had "flouted a government body in refusing to appear." The board, therefore, would take no further steps to prevent an actual walkout. Chairman Hooper announced, and the hearing was adjourned. President Jewell's failure to at tend the peace conference brought severe condemnation from the chair man of the board, who, in closing the inquiry, declared the rail union's chief blood was "on his own head." "Mr. Jewell has flouted a govern ment tribunal," concluded Chairman Hooper. "He has shouldered the re sponsibility of his own volition, and the board desires to pursue the mat ter no further." Ignore the Board's Snmmons Neither Mr. Jewell nor any of the shop crafts heads answered the board's summons. Instead they sent a letter maintaining the right of the shopmen to strike and expressing the belief that the board's hearing would but result in a "confused and disor derly strike movement, lacking au thoritative control and almost in evitably resulting in a mob-like ac tion, pregnant with grave possibil ities." Timothy Healy, president of the stationary firemen and oilers, like wise failed to appear when the board's hearing convened, and sub poenas were issued for them, sum moning both Jewell and Healy be fore the board. Mr. Healy arrived just before the close of the session, but Mr. Jewell was not found. In contrast to the complete fail ure to throttle the shopmen's strike, the labor board's inquiry met with marked success in the case of the maintenance of way employes and the contract cases of the twenty three railroads also cited to appear at today's investigation. Twelve railroad representatives turned the session into a testimonial meeting as they arose, one after an other, and announced their willing ness to cancel all existing contracts for the performance of railroad work by outside firms, if thereby the strike crisis might be relieved. Three other union heads, in addi tion to President Grable of the main tenance of way brotherhood, gave assurance to the board that no call to quit work would be issued imme diately. Maintenance of Way Men to Stick The announced delay of the main tenance of way strike call, which had been expected tonight came af ter a lengthy discussion between Mr. Grable and Chairman Hooper. Mr. Grable told the board that more than half of 288.000 votes had al ready been canvassed, the results thus far showing "a big majority in favor of a 6trike." The employes' grievances, he ex plained, included the $60,000,000 pay cut which goes into effect to morrow, the contracting of track la bor and removal of the eight hour day thru several rule changes re cently issued by the labor board. If the men could have some assurance of a rehearing on these grievances, Mr. Grable said, he volunteered to "use his influence to prevent a strike." Touching on the wage cut, Mr. Grable declared that the cost of liv ing as shown by government statis tics had actually risen in the face of the impending wage cut. Chairman Hooper immediately agreed that, whenever fact warrant ed the board would readily reconsid er wages in the light of changing conditions. Mainly upon this assur ance of renewed consideration of his men's wages, Mr. Grable agreed that no strike call would be issued to night. Biliousness and Constipation "For years I was troubled with biliousness and constipation, which made life miserable for me. My ap petite failed me. I lost my usual force and vitality. Pepsin prepara tions and cathartics only made mat- iters worse. I do not know where I should have been today had I not tried Chamberlain's Tablets. The tablets relieve the ill feeling at once, strengthen the digestive functions, helping the system to do its work naturally," writes Mrs. Rosa Potts, Birmingham, Ala. Weyrich & Had raba. DEATH OF LITTLE ONE The many friends in this city of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Marshall, Jr., of Dayton, Ohio, will regret to learn of the death of their infant daugh ter there this morning. The deepest sympathy will be felt for Mr. and Mrs. Marshall in their hour of sor row by their friends. INSTALL NEW MACHINE AT THE MOVIE GARDEN Joe Bradley, of the U. S. Theatrical Supply company, of Omaha, was here yesterday and installed a new com pensating arch machine at the Movie , Garden that will overcome the diffi- . culty that has been found in pro-! ducing the proper clearness and with i the new machine the pictures should ' be the best that can be secured from the standpoint of screening.

COUNCIL LETS CONTRACT FOR ELECTROLIERS Western Electric Co. Awarded Bid Tor Lamps and Stands at $3, 054; Installation, $1,701. The city council met in special session last evening and the full at tendance of the membership was present to take part in the decision of the city on the letting of the con tract for the new electroliers. The various bids were opened at the meeting of the council on last Monday night and since that time they have been threshed over by the members of the light committee and several sessions held with the rep resentatives of tte various firms that had bids on the work. At the meeting last evening the light committee continued their de liberations until 9:15 and then sub mitted the report on the matter of the bids, recommending that the con tract for the furnishing of lights, as well as posts for the forty-eight new lamps be awarded to the Western Electric Co. and for the wiring and installation to the W. W. Berger Co. The bid of the Western Electric Co. was $3,054. while the Berger com pany on the installation asked for S 1,701, both being the lowest bid ders on the job. There was some little discussion as to whether or not the companies should have submitted specimens of the style of posts and lamps they ex pected to use in the carrying out of the contract, and on the adoption of the report of the lighting commit tee letting the contract, Councilmen McCarthy and Howe voted no, and Councilman McMaken passed, ' the other seven members voted for the report of the committee. The lights decided on are of the multiple system, single electrolier. with twelve foot posts and fancy or namental canopy globe and are very classy looking lights of the latest type. The council has not as yet decid ed on the size of the lamps to be used In the electroliers, as there is some indecision as to whether 100, 200 or the present 400 watt lamps would be the most effective. This action of the council will dis pose of the matter of putting in the electroliers when Mayor Johnson signs the contract, but the matter of the current for the lights has not been taken up yet by the council as a whole, although the light commit tee has been discussing the matter with Manager Kuykendall of the Ne braska Lighting Co., and it is thought a very favorable rate can be secured for the use of the new lights, if it should be decided to start their use in the immediate future.
