BUSINESS BETTER
DESPITE WALKOUT
Two Major Labor Disputes Unable
to Check Trend Toward Im
provement in Industry.
New York. July 17. With the
country's two major labor disputes
still contributing their elements of
uncertainty, business and financial
news during the past week suggest
that the trend toward improvement
is uninterrupted. Railroad car load
ings for the last week in June were
slightly smaller than in the one pre
vious, which set a new hijh record
for the year.
The loss is accounted for by small
er coal shipments, the movement oi
merchandise showing a further gain.
Indication that a better demand
for steel products is being maintain
ed, were confirmed by the June, 30
total of unfilled orders of the United
States Steel corporation. As of the
first of the current month, the cor-'
poration's books show 5,635,000 tons
of unfinished business, this figure
being 381,000 tons larger than on
May 30 and 1,494.000 tons above
that on February 28, when the low
point of the recent depression was
made.
It is estimated furthermore, that
the June 30 figures mean that new
business during June amounted to
more than 1,400,000 tons, which is
a volume exceeding the corporation's
monthly production capacity. At

present, steel output is experiencing
a mild check on acount of the rail
road strike, the steel corporation's
rate of loading having been reduced
from 77 per cent to 75 per cent.
Coal production for the week
ending July 8 shows a marked de
crease. The los3 of approximately
1,500,000 tons from the low produc
tion of recent weeks, served to in
tensify the drain on existing stocks.
Fair Crops Promised
Crop prospects are practically un
changed. The department of agricul
ture's grain estimate as of July 1 in
dicates a fair yield. The winter wheat
crop is placed at 569,000,000 bush
els, or 18,000.000 bushels below last
year's crop, but spring wheat out
look is enough better to bring the
total of both crops up to $17,000.
000 bushels. This total is 21,000,000
bushels more than last year's. A fair
crop of corn is also in prospect.
With prices little changed the pres
ent grain crop promises to be suffi
ciently good to insure the continua
tion of a revival in general business.
The week's developments in the
money market were quite consistent
with the expectation. Following the
holiday there was a shrinkage in the
volume of federal reserve ratio of
the cribined federal reserve system.
At the same time, the rate on call
money on the New York stock ex
change relaxed further and in touch-,
lng 3i per cent reached the previ
ous low record of the year. Rates for
various forms of money are, accord
ing, at the low levels of the present
cycle, and the question remains as
to. whether or not the money mar
ket has quite touched bottom.

Thebattle of the ballots in Cass
county yesterday was one a little out
of the unusual and the voters were
evidently voting just what they
thought without any dictation as all
party tickets were featured by writ
ing in names of many candidates
not on the ticket and showed a dis
position to desire the general pri
mary ballot where all parties would
be. on the same ballot.
In this city the progressive party
polled practically their entire vote
in the county and had far more than
the republicans and democrats put
together. Their vote reached over
500 in the city but there was little
evidence of the movement out in the
county to any general extent. On
this ticket, A. L. Tidd for congress
received 533 votes to 56 for John H.
Morehead, Judge Arthur G. Wray
carried the county by .350 against
234 for A. II. Bigelow, despite the
fact that an effort was made to se
cure the support for Bigelow ' and
Taylor, and in the race for the pro
gressive governor, Taylor received
33S and Norton 251.
Rex Young for sheriff on the pro
gressive ticket received 57 S, A. H.
Duxbury for attorney, 579, and was
the leading candidate on this tick
et. In the progressive race for coun
ty clerk Eugene Lister defeated F.
J. Libershall by 451 to 151.
The most interesting light of the
campaign and the one in which the
greatest interest was shown was that
of Rex Young for the republican
nomination for sheriff against Sher
iff C. D. Quinton and for the early
part of the returns the auctioneer
seemed to be securing a lead that
might have given him victory over
the veteran sheriff, but the later re
turns from the large precincts in the
west part of the county served to
wipe out the lead that he had se
cured on the early returns. With
two precincts missing the vote for
sheriff stands, Quinton, 719; Young,
556.
' It was feared that the large re
publican vote of Mr. Young might
serve to cause his elimination from
the race .as this vote threatened to
exceed that of the progressive' vote
of the candidate.
In the county attorney contest the
voters gave all of the candidates a
very flattering vote and while Coun
ty Attorney A. G. Cole was renomi
nated, the younger candidates .were
able to show their ability as cam
paigners "and were given a good vote.
Mr. Cole received 618; W. G. Kieck,
312; A. H. Duxbury, 244.
In the United States senatorshlp,
R. B. Howell led the county as gen
eral all over the state, having 514
votes while Attorney General Davis
was runner-up and A. W. Jefferis a
third in the conflict.
The race between McMullen and
Randall was close in this county as
it was all over the state and the" re
sult will be given later when the.
entire vote is completed, as there
are two precincts, Elmwood and
Weeping Water 2nd ward, to report
yet.
On . the democratic side of the
' house political there was very little
; contest aside from the state offices
and county treasurer. Hitchcock had
a vast majority of the votes cast at I
the primary and for governor Bry
an was a safe leader with 327; Nor
ton, 152; Butler, 151. Reports state
that Mr. Bryan is polling a large
vote over the state that "will win for
him.
In the democratic race for con
gress, John H. Morehead of Falls
City came under the wire an easy
winner and in this county at 12 o'
clock with two precincts missing,
the vote was Morhead, 516; Mills,
140.
For the office of county treasurer.
Miss Mia U. Gering demonstrated
that in addition to being an expert
bookkeeper she is also some racer, as
she polledSOS votes against 188 for
J. G. Meisinger, who was also a can
didate of the progressives for this
office.
The democrats staged a contest al
most as close and interesting as the
republican battle in their sheriff
race between Adolph Geise and
Harve Manners with the vote stand
ing 320 for Manners and 284 for
Geise.
TROOPS MAY BE
DRAFTED IF REFUSE
TO GUARD MINES
If State Governors Refuse to Pro
vide Troops For the Mines
Federal Government Will
Washington, July 18. If state
governors refuse to provide troops
for the mines and thus prevent their
joneration, the federal government
'will not only send United States ar
my regulars but will induct the state
troops into federal service and or
der them to the coal centers, Secre
tary of War Weeks announced this
afternoon.
Weeks also declared that the fl
eral government had the power to
federalize the national guard of a
non-coal producing state and send
it into another where troops would
be needed.
This program has been framed for
a possible emergency because the (
regular army men available for
strike duty numbers less than 25,
000. Harding in his call to the gover
nors will urge that the strjtes pro
vide adequate guards around every
mine that can find enough men to
operate.
The president declared no time
limit had been fixed within which
the operators had to resumt produc
tions. In fact he indicated that in
inviting them to go ahead he was
yielding to the express wishes of
many of them.

"N. E. KENDALL."

THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1922.
HITCHCOCK AND
BRYAN IN LEAD
OVER THE STATE
SENATOR HAS CLEAR FIELD AND
LINCOLN MAN LEADS BUT
LER FOR GOVERNOR.
HOWELL COPS G. 0. P. HONORS
Contest for Republican Nomination
For Governor Close Between
McMullen and Randall.
The returns from the state pri
mary election indicate clearly that
Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock, dem
ocrat, has-read his title clear to a
renomination to the office he has
held for the past twelve years and
the head of the state ticket seems
to be settled on Charles W. Bryan
of Lincoln, as the candidate for gov
ernor as he has a lead that is ap
parently safe over that of Dan B.
Butler of Omaha, who reecived his
largest vote in Omaha where he
swept the city over Bryan.
In the first congressional district
Ex-Governor Morehead has a large
majority over Frank Mills of Lin
coin and Walter L. Anderson of Lin
coln seems to have won the repub
lican nomination from the large field
of candidates as the vote was badly
scattered. 1
For the progressive nomination in
the First district the indications are
that A. L. Tidd of thi3 city would
receive the nomination as he polled
a heavy vote in the large labor cen
ters of the district, while the pro
gressive vote was light in the coun
try districts, but in these he main
tained his ratio of the vote cast.
For the short term in congress the
race between P. A. Barrows and J.
Ray Shike, the blind candidate,
seems to be close on the republican
ticket while W. C. Parriott of Lin
coln had a clear field on the dem
ocratic side of the fence.
Late returns indicate that Attor
ney General Davis will be second in
the republican senatorial race and
Congressman Jefferis third. Returns
from 594 precincts gave Howell,
14,925; Jefferis, 10,142; Davis, 9.
750. This includes 85 of the 175
precincts in Douglas county, which
Jefferis carried handily. Out-state
returns show a steady tendency to
absorb this lead, brining Davis into
the position of runner-up.
Contests are Close
The contest for both republican
and democratic nominations was
close, with the republican nominee
in doubt and with Charles W. Bryan"
of Lincoln the likely democratic
winner. Dan Butler was the demo
cratic runner-up and Adam McMul
len of Beatrice occupied a like posi
tion on the republican side, with C.
H. Randall of Randolph holding a
bare lead of 600, the figures for 616
precincts being 19.045 for Randall
and 1'8,466 for McMullen. There are
I, 913 precincts in the state.
Senator Hitchcock won the demo
cratic nomination by somewhat less
than two to one over his two oppo
nents. District Judge Sears was easily the
winner of the republican nomina
tion for congress in the Second dis
trict, comprising Douglas, Sarpy and
Washington counties. Fragmentary
returns from other districts indicat
ed the renomination of Congressman
Evans in the Third, Congressman
McLaughlin in the Fourth and Con
gressmen Andrews in the Fifth dis
tricts, all republicans. Robert Sim
mons of Scottsbluff led for the re
publican nomination, in the Sixth
district and former Congressman
Shallenberger for the democratic
nomination in the Fifth.
In the Fourth district, Mrs. Irene
C. Buell of Ashland was running
third in a four-cornered contest.
With 58 out of the 235 precincts in
the district heard from. H. B. Cum
mins of Seward was high in the race
with 909, compared to 547 for Clif
ford P. Fall of Beatrice, 374 for Mrs.
Buell and 343 for Fred C. Schultz
of Rockford.
Secretary of State Amsberry was
third in the Sixth district race with
61 of the 557 voting preefnets re
ported. Robert G. Simmons of Scotts
bluff was leading with 2,552, with
B. O. Hostetler of Kearney next with
1,324, compared with 646 for Mr.
Amsberry.
Howell's victory for the republi
can senatorial nomination was
sweeping. He lost Douglas county to
Congressman Jefferis by a ratio of
approximately 3 to 2, but he made
this up rapidly out-state. Outside of
Douglas county Howell carried most
of the counties and in almost every
case Attorney General Davis ran sec
ond. Gubernatorial Contests Close
The contests for governor on both
principal tickets attracted attention
early in the count. From the start,
both were close. First returns fa
vored McMullen for the republican
nomination and Butler for the dem
ocratis, both in Douglas county erd
elsewhere. Little, by little, out-state
returns cut the leads of these two
and put Randall ahead for the re
publican nomination and Bryan for
the democratic.
