Farmers are
Rallying to New
Livestock Group
To Co-Ordinate Fanners, Not De
plore Plight, According to
A. D. Majors.
Omaha, Neb. Uniting under the
banner of the newly formed United
States Live Stock association, thou
sands of dirt farmers in the Missis
sippi(and Missouri valleys and in the
mountainous range country farther
west are banding together to follow
leaders who stand for constructive
measures, instead of promoting the
"plight" of the farmer, President A.
D. Majors of the association said
here.
The association promises to be
come one of the strongest of all ag
rarian groups. Organizers working
in all 'western states reported that
the real dirt farmer is eager to join
after the purpose of the movement
has been explained to them.
Associated with Majors in the work
are such agrarian leaders as Joe Mer
cer, Kansas; James Tod, presdient
of the Kansas City Live Stock asso
ciation! P. R. Low, Tarkio, Mo., one
of the country's most extensive land
owners; Jewell Mayes, Missouri's sec
retary of agriculture; Howard Gram
lich, Nebraska university animal hus
bandry head; Dan Hildebrand, pres
ident of the Nebraska Feeders asso
ciation and W. T. Waugh, Pleasant
Hill, 111.
Many organizations, including the
national livestock exchange, have ap
proved the purposes of the new or
ganization. The national controls 85
percent of all livestock produced in
this country.
"We plna, said Majors, "to substi
tute for unpractical minority repre
sentation the true voice of the major
Hy of dirt farmers in all business,
legislative and political matters.
"Our organization is neither mill
tant nor revolutionary in its aims.
Our chief purpose is to co-ordinate
and expand the work of numberous
older live stock and agricultural as
sociations by means of a national
group that will enable the real farm
er and stockman to have something
to say about matters which vitally
affect his welfare.
"Our representativs now are in
Washington, where they will attempt
to "work with the agricultural depart
ment in carrying out provisions oi
the Roosevelt farm relief program
particularly as they apply to mar
keting.
"Among other movements witfc
which we plan to concern ourselves
are the reorganization and reduction
in live stock freight rates, restoratior
of all public market transpotratio:
privileges, and the elimination of an?
and all interference with the normal
functioning of the law of supply and
demand in establishing prices for
agricultural products."
Majors is president of the Omaha
Livestock Exchange. One of the
chief issues to be battled for imme
diately is the elimination of direct
buying by packers of live stock.
By so doing. Majors contends, the
packers are breaking down the open
price system. When livestock is sold
in this manner the big packers do
not have to compete for purchases,
and the competitive system becomes
inoperative, he pointed out. Direct
buying, used at first only in the case
of hogs, now has spread to cattle and
sheep, he said. State Journal.
ATTACK MADE ON MINISTER
Bentonville, Ark. A man believed
to be from Pittsburg, Kas., was held
in jail here after an alleged attack
on the Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Waits,
former Valparaiso, Neb., residents, at
their Sulphur Springs, Ark., summer
home. Mr. Waits, retired Methodist
minister, said the man, apparently in
toxicated, appeared at his home in a
motorcar and drove twice around the
house, brandishing a pistol. He then
ordered Mr. Waits and his wife to
the front door.
"He tried to force me to take a
drink of whiskey," Mr. Waits told
police, "then shot at my feet when
I refused. He left after I refused to
get in his car."
The man was captured later by of
ficers after a free-jTor-all fight in
which the suspect was struck over
the head with a shotgun and disarm
ed. He first gave his name as Harry
Russell of Pittsburg, but the driver's
license of his car was issued to J. L.
Dukes of Pittsburg. Neither Mr. or
Mrs. Waits were injured.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Campbell, of
Minitare, Nebraska, who have been
here visiting at the home of Mrs.
Campbell's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
John Bajeck, as well as at South Bend
with the relatives of Mr. Campbell,
returned today to their home In the
west.
Lamson Witness

Dolores Roberts, nursemaid in the
home of David and Mrs. Allene
Lamson on Stanford University
campus, who will be a defense wit

with slaying his wife. Miss Roberts
denied the couple ever quarreled,
insisting they always seemed happy.
LIBERTY
We dream of the crags where
the mountain goats rest,
And the peaks they so quickly
ascend in quest,
Of food and shelter they quietly
seek.
Where the air is crisp and cool
and grottos bleak.
The eagle soars in the azure
blue,
And faces the sunset all tinted
with hue,
And laughs at the storm cloud
that lowers its crest.
To moisten the rose crimsoned
heather at rest.
The waves of the season toss
ing high,
With no restraint do they
brook a sigh
As the sea girl rides on the crest
of the waves.
And drinks with delight the
sweets that it craves.
Bound with cords and fears of
today, -. v. -.
Humanity is seeking to find a
way,
To loosen its shackles that hold
it so tight,
And liberate itself from this
tragic plight.
Fear holds mankind in its cruel
grasp,
Until liberated by "truth" which
tears off the mask
And lets in the sunshine, that
dispells the gloom,
Brushing away the cobwebs like
a new brush broom.
Let loose of all habits that
make you a slave,
And beat you with stripes you
do not crave.
For "Liberty" shivers like the
morning star,
Guiding the mariner from the
sandy bar.
The rain drop that moistens the
parched earth.
Does it without fear or restraint
to mirth.
It drops in the river and flows
to the sea.
And wrestles with others that
depart on the sea. "T"
PEAK OF MTLK PRODUCTION
Nebraska dairy cows bit their
peak in production in May, E. C.
Scheidenhelm, extension dairyman at
the college of agriculture, said in his
monthly report.
Butterfat production in dairy herd
improvement associations jumped to
33.9 pounds per cow, an increase of
3.9 percent over the previous month
A drop, however, is anticipated this
month. Conditions among Nebraska
dairymen, nevertheless looked up in
May, as there was an increased de
mand for breeding stock.
The Platte Valley association led
all similar organizations in Nebras
ka for butterfat production in May.
Nemaha-Richardson was second and
Hamilton-Hall-Merrick third. "Mar
tha," a Holstein cow owned by D. D.
Thayer, of Monroe, was the high pro
ducing animal in the state for the
month. She gave 3,035 pounds of
milk which netted 110 pounds of
butterfat.
TO THE PUBLIC
In order to assist in meeting the
present financial emergency, it be
comes necessary to close the Public
Library during the months of July
and August. No books will be issued
out after June 24th and all books
must be returned by June 30th.

Union Rail Men
in Flat Refusal
to Take Pay Cut
Demand of Executives Characterized
as a Elui? by Spokesmen for
Railway Unions.
Chicago. Union railroad workers
of the country announced flatly they
Aould accept no reduction in wages
and characterized the roads demand
for a 22 1-2 percent slice as "just a
bluff." Coing even further, Chair-j
man Alexander F. Whitney, of thei
Railway Labor Executives' asFocia-j
tion, declared he expected a 10 per-j
eent deduction from pay envelopes to j
be discontinued next Nov. 1. j
"I doubt whether the unions ever!
will be called upon seriously to ac-1
cept such a cut," Whitney said-!
"About &0 percent of the railroads',
probably will be patriotic enough toj.
go along with President Roosevelt's
program of maintaining wages. The
present 10 percent deduction, to
which it is now suggested at 12 1-2 j
percent be added, expires at midnight ;
next Oct. 31," Whitney said. "At
that time wages go back to a 100
per cent basis under existing agree
ments which do not call for any con
ference on the matter."
Altho not commenting officially
on Whitney's statement, executives
Df major railroad lines indicated they
.vould grant no concessions in their
Jemaiii ..aat the 10 percent reduc
tion be replaced with a 22 1-2 per
manent reduction "and thus bring
:he wage level more into line with
the present cost of living and the
levels of other industries."
The position cf all of the fifteen
anion leaders attending the iu.i-oi
executives' conference was that im
proving business, inflation and the
national administration's program in
general justified higher pay, not cuts.
After expressing themselves on the
wage matter, the union heads turned
to consideration of the national rail
way bill under which Joseph IJ. East
nan has been named co-ordinator of
the railroad industry.
Delegates expressed wholehearted
accord with the bill and said the
unions would co-operate with East
man. Whitney said he understood
jnc section of the bill provided that
labor should not eb disturbed and
that he understood it to mean the
pay, number and classification of
employes would not be changed.
Whitney made no definite state
ment about whether the union repre
sentatives would meet with the Rail
way Executives association to dis
cuss the wage matter on July 12, as
requested by the roads. The contract
for the 10 percent deduction ending
Nov. 1 provided the roads could serve
notice of intent to change the basic
scale any time between July 15 and
Nov. 1. They took that action
Thursday. State Journal.

F0ET CROOK FARMER SUICIDE
Leo Hood, 49, well-to-do farmer of
Fort Crook, shot himself to death
early Friday night in a clump of trees
near his farm home. Ill health is
blamed.
Hood and his family lived with
his father-in-law, T. E. Gledhill, one
of the wealthiest landowners of Sarpy
county. Walter Anderson, farm
hand, said Hood had been complain
ing of nosebleeds and headaches, and
remarked Thursday that he "couldn't
stand it much longer."
However. Friday night he milked
the cows as usual, and then put the
milk away. Evidently he went at
once to the clump of trees where
his body later was found. His wife,
Inez, heard a shot about this time,
and remarked to her father that he
should see if hunters were active out
of season. Whn Hood failed to show
up for supper, Gledhill investigated,
and found the body. A charge had
gone through the heart, and nearby
was a forked stick which may have
been used to pull the trigger.
Gledhill and County Attorney
Ralph Nickerson agreed it was sui
cide, and no inquest will be held.
Hood is survived besides his wife by
one son, Leo Thomas, and two daugh
ters, Inez Dorothy and Anna Kath-
erinc, all at home; a brother, Rich
ard, justice of the peace at Bellevue,
and two sisters. Miss Lucy of Belle
vue and Mrs. Mary Tipton of Flag
staff, Ariz.
RAILS TO SEEK 12 1-2 FEE
CENT SLASH IN WAGES
New York, June 14. Dow, Jones
&. Co. today said that the railroads
had decided to seek an additional
12z per cent wage cut and that no
tices to this effect would be sent to
morrow to the four principal railway
brotherhoods.
The proposed cut would be addi
tional to the 10 per cent reduction
from the basis rates under which the
railway employes are now working.
The four leading brotherhoods are
the engineers, firemen, trainmen and
conductors.
It is expected that notices of the
reduction will be sent to other groups
later.
"No" Says Robertson.
Cleveland, June 14. David B. Rob
ertson, President of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
ment, today said any further wage
reduction by the railroads "cannot
be justified" and that his brother
hood would "decline to grant" any
further decrease.

AFFIRMS CASE
The decision of the district court
dismissing the action brought against
Sarpy county hy Carrie Kudrna for
damages for the death of her daugh
ter Ruby was affirmed by the su
preme court Friday. The girl was
one of a party of young people out
on a lark, and her girl companion,
as a prank, drove the car away from
the boys, altho she had never before
driven alone. The Kudrna girl rode
on the running board, with one leg
sticking out, and it i3 alleged that
her death was caused by her foot
striking a snow plow belonging to
the county that had been drawn to
the side of the road and hidden by
weeds. There was evidence that the
driver had lost partial control of the
car at this point. The court holds
that when the traveled portion of a
highway is maintained in a proper
condition, the county is not liable
where a person, negligently riding
on the running board of a car, is
fatally injured by being thrown
against a snow plow parked some dis
tance off the highway, as the car, in
negotiating a turn, deviated from the
traveled read.
