Ladles Guild Social Affair
The mombcrs of the Ladies Guild and

homo of Mrs Anna Murphy Thursday

ovening with Mrs E F Caffroy of
Stamford winner of first ladys prize
and Ed Brady the first gontlemans
prize Judge lleaton landed the booby
Besides the cards thero was a social side
and refreshments Music was a special
feature of the event with Mrs P F
McKeuna Father W J Kirwin Arthur

with her mother
The Omaha Trade Excursion
Unlike some cities who conduct trade
extension trips the party of Omaha
business men who will visit us the end
of this month are not coining out here
to talk shop to us The occasion will
bo a purely social one the heads of

banking institutions visiting us in or
der to become better acquainted with
their western neighbors and tho great
development of this section

and profitable affair both for tho visit
ors and those visited That our friends
from Omaha will see much of interest
to them is our prediction and learn a
great deal that cannot fail to impress
them favorably with our country
No Co Operative Stores
It is believed that the project to es
tablish co operative stores under the
management of labor unions represented
by tho Burlington employes has been
dropped Coincident with the dropping
of this project comes tho organiza
tion by representatives of all the labor
unions on all the roads in the state of
an association having for its purpose
the protesting against reducing freight
rates or tho passage of further restric
tive laws by legislatures or rulings by
the railway commission affecting rail
roads To work effectively tho men
have thought best to take petitions to
the merchants in the towns where they
do much trading and to get these sign
ed Sizing up this situation a Burling
ton employe said yesterday
The co operative store idea might be
all right in many cases but now I
think we prefer to buy of the local mer
chant We must not antagonize all the
busiuess interests to the point that they
will in turn antagonize our employers
and thus by restrictive legislation and
rate reduction force loss of dividends
and cut in wages We are now trjing
to get close enough to business interests
to show them that the interest of the
railroad and its employes is the interest
of all business men
The railroad labor unions will be rep
resented more strongly than ever when
the legislature meets in Lincoln next
winter The strength of the labor unions
on the roads will be exerted wherever
there is any considerable cumber of
votes at the primaries and at the elec
tion this fall Already some organiza
tions have named legislative representa
tives to look after their interests during
the next session The labor unions will
see to it that they leave no stone un
turned to advance what they now con
sider their best interests Lincoln
