fight, Bruce Wolfe, Charles Atte

they made a good team. When the
fight came off, this team worked and
were opposed by C. B. Smith, Henry
Pearsley and Otis Keene, and went
after the fight with a spirit that wins
this time the fortune fell to thf
team captioned by Mr. Smith and

Cleveland, Aug. 22. Basing his
statement upon telegrams received
from union officials in various west
ern states. A. F. Whitney, president
of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen, Tuesday night predicted
a strike affecting 10,000 railroad
workers west of Chicago will be call
ed early in September unless the
roads meet the union wage demands.
Members of the trainmen and the
order of railway conductors have
been ballotting for a week upon a
proposal to strike, following the fail
ure of attempts to settle their wage
demands by mediation.
Stand Is Approved. .
Reports from the west are to the
effect that a walkout is virtually
certain in the event no settlement
i3 reached, Whitney said.
Although he declared the enthus-
of.iasm of the men indicates a unani
mous decision in favor of striking,
Whitney gave no specific instances
except a telegram from Salem, Ore.,

September 4 Set
Strike ballots were mailed from
Chicago two weeks ago when con
ferences between executives of the
trainmen and conductors, the rail
roads and a representative of the
federal board of mediation ended in
disagreement.
The ballots are to be returned to
Chicago September 2, but the result
will not be announced officially un
til September 4, if no agreement
with the roads are reached by that
time the men will walk out, Whitney

Mrs. Bess Streeter
Aldrich to Aid
Grand Opera
Wil Assist in the Developing of Tal
ent in This State for the
Grand Opera Tests.
Bess Streeter Aldrich, president of
the Nebraska Writers Guild and na
tionally famous author of half a
dozen literary successes; whose lat
est novel, "A Lantern in Her Hand,"
has just been published, today join-'
ed the Nebraska group which is seek-
ing new grand opera stars through!
the Second National Radio Audition. I
Mrs. Aldrich, whose home is in'
Elmwood. accepted the invitation of
Walter W. Head of Omaha, chair
man, to become a member of the
state committee which is sponsoring
the contest in Nebraska. She is en
thusiastic in her endorsement of the
audition and pledges hearty cooper
ation to Mr. Head in searcharing for
promising amateur singers in the
"Antelope" state
Chairman Head also announced
that Mrs. Will E. MinieVof Oakland,
prominent in National Federation of
Women's Clubs has accepted mem
bership on the Nebraska committee. !
Arrangements are being made to
hold local singing contests for var
ious Nebraska county groups. The
plan is to center the local auditions
in some town convenient to these
county groups and then canvas each
section intensively. In this work the
cooperation of city mayors. Chamber
of Commerce officials and civic and
music leaders generally is being
sought by Chairman Head and his
associates.
The contest in Nebraska will fol
low the same lines as last year. Con
ducted on the principle of elimination
it will start with the local auditions
now being arranged. Each local con
test will qualify one boy and one
girl singer to represent the local .
community in the state audition. I
The local auditions will be con-'
eluded not later than September 25th
so as to make way for the state con
test which will be held early in
October.
The state audition will be broad
cast over station WOW, Omaha, un
der arrangements to be made by Or
son Stiles, Nebraska State Manager,'
assisted by Eugene Konecky of the
WOW staff. In determining the win
ners of the Nebraska contest the vote
of radio listeners will count 60 per
cent and the judgment of the board
of critics 4 per cent. J
All Nebraska amateurs between 18,
and 25 inclusive are eligible to com-1
pete in this contest for which the At-1
water Kent Foundation is offering
cash awards aggregating $17,500 be-,
sides 120 medals, music conservatory

cognition. The Nebraska State Audition will
qualify two singers to compete in the
district or semi-finals, which will be
sung in Chicago in November to
qualify two singers for te Nnational
finals to be sung in New York in De-;
cember. i
All singers who win state and dis
trict auditions will be guests of the
Atwater Kent Foundation during the
subsequent phases of the contest.
PRACTICAL CRIME PPREVENTION
Major crimes of violence have de
creased materially in New York City
since 1925. acording to a report by
the Baumes Commission. Where
there were 308 cases of murder and
manslaughter in 1923. the number
dropped to 289 in 1926, and in 1927
went down still further, to 27S.
Of the Baumes Law privisions the
most important is that which pro
vides life imprisonment for criminalr
on fourth felony conviction. In New
York it has proven a restraining in
fluence, and a thoroughly justified
measure. Logic would tend to show
that a law-breaker who attemptr
four major ravages is a habitual crim
inal who must be permanently re
moved from society.
A modern movement in crime sup
pression and prevention has been to
ward gathering crime statistics that
afford a ready and accruate survey
of the crime situation. This work
cannot be overestimated, and Senator
Knight, chairman of the subcommis
sion, says of it: "The commission
believes that complete and accurate
statistics of crimes committed is abso
lutely necessary to determine the
cause of crime and to permit the en
actment of the best legislation tt
prevent and punish the commissior
of crime.
New York has demonstrated the
success that comes from scientifically
and practically fighting the menace of
the criminal. Quick justice and sure
punishment are certain deterrents.

You Can't Feed
Horses Shavings
What good oats was to old Dobbin, Phil
lips "66" is to your car or gas engine.
Folks soon found that the better a horse
was fed the better he worked.
And so it is with your car, truck or gas
engine. You can use just any gas and
get just any kind of results. Or you can
use Phillips "66" and get speed, pep and
POWER. The cost is the same in both
cases.
W. O. Gillespie Says:
You are able to get Phillips "66" because
the U. S. Oil Works has acquired the
properties of the Farmers Paint and Oil
Company in Murdock, including a bulk
station which has never been operated.
W. O. Gillespie is local manager. He
knows that the U. 2. Oil Works handles
only high-grade products. He knows,
too, that Phillips "66" is a different gas
oline, at no higher price.
Service to Your Door
Phillips "66" is the ideal gasoline for farm use.
It starts easily, runs smoothly and goes fur
ther. Mr. Gillespie will deliver Phillips "66" to
your fsrm. Have him fill your tank NOW.
so that you can give Phillips "66" a thorough
trial.
