THE OMAHA BEE: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 0. 1022. U. S. Labor Board Ready to Act on Seniority Issue Resolution Expresses Willing ness to Pom on Main Ques tion Between Union Mfn and Executives, Chicago, Aug. 8. (By A. P.) The I'nitcil State railroad labor board expressed in willingncs to act on the seniority uurmon now at is u between the railroad and their ktrikintr shopmen til a resolution adopted at a meeting late tonight. The resolution was adopted by vote of five members of the board to one. A. O. Wharton, a labor retire tentative, voting againat it. The six members were all that were in the city when the meeting was called. Ben V. Hooper, chairman, preside Those who attended were G. W. W. Hanger of the public group, Samuel iliggms, Horace iiakcr and ). it. r.i liott of the railroad group and Mr, V harton and Mr. Hooper. Text of Resolution. i The majority resolution reads as follows: Whereas, The president of the United States recently made cer tain suggestions to the railway executives and the representatives of the railway employes, now on strike, looking toward the settle ment of the strike, which sug gestions were in part agreed to by bothsides, and Whereas, The one question upon which there was such a wide di vergence of opinion that the car riers declined to accept the presi dent's suggestions was that of the reinstatement of the men on strike with seniority and other rights unimpaired, and. Whereas, The. president has since suggested that the question of seniority be submitted to the railroad labor board for hearing and decisions, add, : Whereas, the railroad labor board, on July S, 1922, passed a resolution which, 'while it makes no express reference to seniority, has been generally construed to have inferential bearing on same, and Whereas, it has ' been thought that this resolution, although it does not posses the force and ef fect of a decision, might stand in the way of the submission of this question to the railroad labor board in accordance with sugges tions by the president. Willing to Hear Case. Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the board signify its willing ness t extend -to the carriers and any employes concerned ample op portunity to present in accordance with the transportation act and the established procedure of the board in a dispute involving the seniority; question or to seek an interpreta tion of the rules covering such Atctir.ti mnA in auhmit An hnth sides, such testimony and argu ment as may be deemed ad visable, to the end that the board may, after a full and fair hearing on every phase of the question in volved, render a formal decision adjudicating tfiematters in con troversy. r- It: is thepurpose of the board to indicate by this resolution that it will as promptly and readily con sider and determine the question of seniority growing out of the pres ent strike, as it will rehear the wage and rule questions which were originally involved in the strike. The only difference in the at titude of the board toward the wage and rule question on the one hand and the seniority on the other is that, as to the former, the board would be called upon to rehear matters already formally decided and as to the latter, to consider a question which has not been formally heard and decided, but which has been inferentially f . s r touched un in the resolution of LailCaSter j. U. Y. JWJ V 'mm i Amend men t Defeated. The amendment offered by Mr. Wharton, which was rejected by the majority members of the board, read: "And be it further resolved that the board hereby rescind the resolution of July J, insofar as that resolution has been interpreted to af fect the question of seniority," Lewis Predicts Coal Strike End This Week Convention Favors Shorter Ballo W.

"I have been amused by reading the editorial fulminations of a certain newspaper which is trying to create discord in the republican party. The republican party has a splendid list of candidates to offer and we should be inspired with confi dence and enthupsiasm." R. B. Howell, candidate for sena tor, addressing the convention, re ferred to his work here as general manager of the municipal water, gas and ice plants. "I have this great state at heart," Mr. Howell said. "Recently I traveled 2,500 miles through Nebraska and I mean it when I say we have a great state. Many of us do not realize the real greatness of Nebraska. We have an empire within our state. We should make our state blossom as the rose. . Should Recognize Duty. "As republicans here todav we should remember that we belong to great business organization. As citizens we should feel it is our duty to vote. Mr. Howell referred to the great financial obligations of Europe. He said this country should treat Eu rope generously and fairly, but should apply acumen in public affairs.

Charles 11 KamUII of Randolph wa required to vi.it a dentiat yester day afternoon, which experience pre vented him from saying more than a few words to the convention, lie was greeted as "the next governor of Ne braska." Bryan Seeks to Gain Third Party Support Lincoln. Aug, 8. (Special.) Third party leaders here admit they are nuzzled whether to select a gubernatorial candidate at the state convention August IS or whether to endorse Charlei II. Randan, repub lican nominee or Charles W. Bryan, democratic nominee. I. N. Norton, who defeated W. J, Taylor in the gubernatorial race in the third party primary, cannot, un der the law. accept the nomination because he failed to get as many votes in the third party primary as he did in the democratic primary, where he also was a candidate for the nomination. Taylor cannot be the nominee because he is a minority candidate. The law provides that a candidate may be selected at the state conven tion when there is no candidate. The third party is minus not only a Gubernatorial candidate, but half the state ticket as well, because half the candidates were fusionists and be came disaualified under the same rule which throws Norton and Taylor out of the running. Bryan is working hard to defeat a movement on the part of certain third oartv leaders to out up a full ticket at the convention. The Bryan aim is to gobble up the endorsement of the third party at the convention. Sleuth and Salesman Fined in Police Court Leo F. Saddlcmira, 26, said to be t $50,000-a-year salesman of Kings ton, N. Y., who is on his honeymoon, and John M. Mallon, jr., federal pro bition enforcement agent of Wash ington, D. C, were fined $2.50 each in central police scourt yesterday for disturbing the peace. They were arrested Monday night after Saddlemira was said to have displayed a badge and "raided" the rooms of two guests at jthe Fonte nelle hotel in a "quest for liquor." Judge Charles E. Foster said he would report Mallon's prank to fed eral authorities. Northcliffe Unchanged. London. Aug. 8.

CWSODodisSt. Oat!m who have had Nokol automatic oil heating for ears say it is the greatest comtbrt in their homes, Few enthusiasms stand the test of time. Those that do, you may be sure, are soundly based. So the enthusiasm of women who have had Nokol in their homes for years is the soundest possible evidence of its value. They say that Nokol has lifted from them the greatest single burden of housekeep ing. Namely, shoveling coal into the heat ing plant cleaning up the endless grime that follows attention to a coal furnace and enduring uncertain, uneven heat for some nine months every year. Women users of Nokol -of long experi encemake stronger claims for it than we do. They are your neighbors. You, too, will value Nokol as they do when it is operating in your home. You will say that it is the greatest investment in comfort you could make. The Nokol Heater burns oil, in any type of heating plant, iaitead of coal. It can be in stalled ia a few hours. Controlled by a ther mottat, it consume only the amount of fuel, neeesiary to maintain the temperature desired. It operate automatically.
