DICKINSON'S ' ACTION Orrera of the Trainmen Itejecteil liy Hi" Minute I'ropofiltlnii In Itc. turn l Promptly Iterucit Notes nnil rr When the Union Pacific grlov.anco com- i dittoes loft Assistant General Manager Dickinson last Friday , after presenting their revised proposition , that gentleman made n ttatcmcnt which the employes understood as t promise of a substantial concession lu the manner of computing overtime , which Is now Iho chief matter at issue. When that con ference was dissolved It was with the under standing that Mr. Dickinson should speedily oxatnlno the committee proposition nnd report - port his conclusions. ItefiiHoil to Accept thn Schedule. Mr. Dickinson ropllod to the committees Monday , refusing to accept tholr schedule nml submitting a proposition of his own. tilnco then tuo committees have held n Joint mealing nnd unanimously rejected the coin- pan v's offer. Another conference at Union Pacific headquarters was arranged for yestorpny nitornoon , nnd tbo com mittees proposed to Insist on n settlement of the matters nt issue. "If we don't got fniror treatment than wo have had so far,1' said an inllucntlal mom- bur of ono of the committees yesterday morning , "there Is likely to bo troublo. Our members nro Hick and tired of this long drawn out nffnir , and If wo cnn't cot satis faction within n few days some of thorn will bo olipplntr out for homo. While the matter of striking would ordinary ( jo to the grand ofllcers for decision , t here nro a great many hot heads in the ranks , nnd there are mem bers of these committees who can tlo up whole divisions by saving the word. Victims of Kiink Injustice. "Wo nro the victims of the rankest kind of Injustice , and wo mean to ImVo some satisfaction. The prin cipal damand wo are now making Is for a change In tbo manner of computing overtime. All wo nslc Is that the company treat us as fairly an It does the engineers and ilrctnon , ,11 , "Let mo glvo you nn example to show the discrimination. First , you must remember that an hour Is flguiod as equivalent to a run of ton miles. Now , suppose a train Is run over a division 11)0 ) miles long and Is IH scheduled In tbo time card to tnako It In icvcn i < hours. A margin of half an hour Is allowed for delays. If , therefore , tbo train mokes Its run In seven hours nnd n half the engineer gets pay for the 100 miles at the rate of 4 cents a mile or a total of ? l. After the seven hours and i half the engineer begins to draw overtime at the rate of 40 contsnu hour. Where the Conductor Ktllfi-rH. "Now see how unfairly tbo conductor is treated. He doesn't begin to draw overtime until ho has boon out ton hours. Suppose the run is 100 miles nnd the train is sched uled to mnku it in ton hours. After ton hours and a half on the road thn engineer will be gin to earn overtime. The conductor will not bo allowed any until bo has boon out fif teen hours. You see where the tcii-iiillo per hour rula comes In. Wlmt , the Company Clulmx. "Tho company opposes us with this argu ment : There nro fast runs In which trains are scheduled to make say 100 miles in four hours. The pay would bo at tbo rate of 4 4 cents n mlle for engineers nnd a cents for conductors. The olllclals say wo practically t got a full day's pay for a few hours' work. IK Wo hold that the Increased speed Increases the daugor to llfo and limb. Moreover , In a run of tli at kind the engineer would bogln to earn ovortlmo after four hours and a half. Wo insist that conductors are ontitlcd to as liberal treatment as engineers. The ofllcials reply that they made a mistnko some years ngo In granting thcso concessions to engin eers , and that that should not betaken taken as a precedent for our demands. And yet tbo company not only confirms the engineers' schcdulo each year , but grants now favors. 1 ought to explain , perhaps , that firemen are treated I'M llko tbo engineers , and that the brakemouaro In the same box with the conductors. An Ollorto Drop the C ntro\crsy. ri "When wo presented our lirst proposition , Mr. Dickinson made some 11 euros and de clared that it meant an Increase of $300,000 In the annual pay roll of the road. Ho figured , on our revised schedule and declared that it. would aggregate an Increase of 3100,000 , but wo pointed out ono Item whcro bo bad made n mlstnito of fUI,000. At our llrat meeting ho offered us ? 10,000 to drop the controversy and go homo. That would hardly have paid tbo expenses of the two committees during their stay In Omaha. In his proposition of yesterday homadon few trilling concessions that would aggregate PI ! ! , 800. Some alvlslons woio favored nnd others 'voro Ignored. When wo loft htm tbo other day bo said that If the engineer ' Bchodulo was all wo wanted wo could easily como to terms. Ho hos made a straight backdown. In explanation ho savs that when ho came to flguro on it ho found It would muko an increase twlco ns big ns bo supposed it would bo. Ho pro- pases to inako concessions Dasod on a raise granted the engineers and firemen last fall. For example , on bomoof the mountain" dlvls- lous tbo pay of the engineers was raised from II per 10U miles to1.40 , and on a division between Denver and Fort Worth from 1.50 to MS5. The increase to the engineers amounted to about $12,000 and to the Dromon about $0,000 , a total of $18,000. Mr. Dlckln son proposes to allow as a pro rata sum based on tbo number of men in tbo two branches of the service. That would Just about pay the expenses of our grievance committees to dale. It will not do. Wo mcun to bo treated as falrly.as engineer * and llromen are. Wunteil Sympntliy Tor ( loulil "In our conference last Friday General Manager Clark trlod to play on our sym pathlos. Ho told1 us of what a hard time the management was having to raako the road pay , and said that his reputa tion as n manager was at stake. Ho wantoa to know why wo were not satlslled with the tqrms that ruled under the old management , oud made a personal appeal to us to consider Ills interest in the matter. Some members of the comiuittoo were affected by Mr. Clark's talk , but they have recovered. " At the conference yesterday afternoon the schedule of tbo committees was taken up section by section , but Its consideration was not completed. The meeting will bo resumed at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Members of the committees report Mr , Dickinson inoro disposed to make conco ? fllons , and they were hopeful last night 01 reaching a satisfactory adjustment. During yesterday's conference Mr. Dick inson stopped into General Manager Clark's room for a brief consultation , and on returning - ing exhibited an EVENING BEU with tboio mark ; "You evidently have a reporter on you committee , " referring to the Iniido history of recent ovonU.

CHANGED THOUSANDS TO HUNDREDS AtlnrupjA Who Wanted Slfl.OOO for Settling Kjaii A WiiUh'R HuMiicM Will ( lot Wlr 00 or Nothing Other Court Matters , Another feature of tlio case of Ryan ft Walsh against Douglas county has boon dis posed of by iho courts. The disposition is satisfactory enough to ull the parties con cerned , with the bare exception of three firms of lawyers. With those llrms tboro Is a walling anil nn Inclination to go to a higher court for a llnal adjudication of what they claim arc tliolr rights. The case , ns every person knows by this tlmo , grow out of the construction of the county hospital , liynn At Walsh were the contractors and from start to Itnlsh they hail trouble. Thcro were a lot of extras run in on the county , for which the commissioners refused to pav. Suit was brought nnd dur ing Its pendency tlio county confessed Judg ment for some $ J",000. upsn which sum In- numornblo liens wore at once tiled , Tno Dunk of Commerce claimed JJ'.SbU.lU for money ndvancc'd to carry on the worlt and that they might substantiate thalr claim they hold nn assignment for the full amount. Wlmt thu l.uwicrs AViintcil. Then thcro cnmo three llrms of lawyers who und helped Ityan & Walsh light tholr local battlos. The gentlemen comprising the llrms nskcd the court to set nstdo $10,000 of the Judgment to pay thorn their fees. Bo- slaos these claims thcro were the laborers and malarial men who were in for another larco sum. The question of priority ot lions arose soon after the Judgment was secured and was argued before Judge Scott some days ago. Yesterday morning bo handed down his decision llxlnc a division of the money. Ho had no doubt but that the lawyers bud worked In dustriously , but It was folly for thnm to uslc him to allow thorn $15OJO upon which they had no claUii. The hospital , ho said , was the most remarkable building in tlio state , Judg ing from the number of extras that hud gene into it. There were oxtr.is from the tlmo the first brlclc was laid until the last nail was drlvon in the roof. Upturning to the subject of the attorneys' fees , ho stated that the lawyers wanted $15,000 for collecting $9,000. That was n raodost de mand , but they would not got It. Una law yer bad said iipon the witness stand that ho had Intended to glvo part of nis fee to Uyati tVi Walsh. Tliatvu * n charitable act , "Now I will tell you , " continued the court , "by law these attorneys are not entitled to a penny of this money and I am not going to allow thorn $15,1)00. ) If 1 was a lawyer I would HUe to tuko such cases until Gabrlol tooted his last horn , for I could get rich by o doing. "Tho record , shows that the lawyers vorkod hard. One of them oven wont so far as to testify that ho labored with the county commissioners and induced thorn not to ap peal to the supreme court. Per this ho charged the modest sum of 51,000. Why .hoy never oven arguea the motion for a now .rial. "Understand that I do not criticise the vork performed by the attorneys , but I do bellovo that they slioald receive reasonable attorney foes uud nothing inoro. ll\l < lcil thn Clulm by Ten. "In passing upon this case I shall allow tno attorneys $1,500 , which they can divide smoug themselves , us I care nothing about the division , but 1 insist .hat . at 2 o'clock today they shall appuar before mo and tile a written accept ance. If they don't do this and ngroo in writing to accept the fco and release the claims against they will not got n cent unless thov collect It from Itynn iSt Walsh. " The judge stated thut he know that lawyers Ufou the witness stand had testified that 515,000 was a reasonable attorney feoforlook- ng after u case of such great Importance , : > ut ho considered it an exorbitant fee when thcro was nothing to do but to propiro the [ tapers for a confession of Judgment. Attorney Ambioso protested that any ono of the tnrco llrms would have demanded at .oast $5,000 as a retainer to carry the case through the courts. The Judge in formed the gentleman that his decision was final. The other claims against the Judgment the court ordered paid pro rata. After tlio decision tno interested attorneys decided not to accept the allowance of the court , stating that tlloy would appeal to the supreme court. Upon being informed of this the court said that ttioy might do so , us ho had noted their objections , but that would not cause him to modify bis decision. WiuitM DnmiigcH for InJiirlcH , Tbo case of John Duvnll against the Omaha Street Hallway company was put on trial in JudgoDoano's court yesterday. Duvall demands n Judgment for $ .20,000.

Architect lli-liiilorll' ami Contractor Coots i\pluln : thu Proposed ClitliiK * ' " . During the past week Mosiis. Edwards , Chnffeo nnd Suecht , the members ot the council committee on public property nnd buildings , have been devoting their idle mo ments to looking ever the plans submitted at the \ last council mooting by Architect Blen- dorft providing for the contemplated changes in the rotunda of the now city hall bulldinc. Up to the present time tbo members of this committee have not been able to dcddo whether or not they will recommend that a resolution bo adopted ordering the .changes. They all admit that tbo rotunda would present - sent a more attractive appearance if finished to correspond with the now drawings , but the oxtiM onpendituro of 818,000 Is what stands In the way. The original contract with John F. Coots provided that this first floor ol the rotunda should bo finished with marble wainscoting , but above that floor tnero was nothing ornamental with the ex ception of marble base boards and oak chair strips about four foot above the Moors. The wiilli and ceilings under the balconies wcro to ha n been plum and finished In dead white. There were to have Uocii no frills In the way of pilaster's J'und cups in stucco .wprk but unudr tlio flow' ' plans this has been changed. The'plans submitted by Architect Boindorff provide for marolo wainscoting around the entire rotunda and upon each of the floors. The ceilings ot the balconies will Do laid off in art panels , with pilasters , columns and stucco caps at regular intervals. In addition to all this the plans contemplate a lot of ornamental work under tbo stairs and at each of the several landings. Superintendent Coots in speaking of the proposed ctmnges stated that there was not a cent In it for him , but ho was of the opinion that the now plans wnro about the thing. The building , ho said , was a ciedit to the city nnd ho would halo to sco the rotunda finished in a style that would not correspond with the interior finish ot the rooms. Architect Boindorff when asked about the proposed changes stated that they had been contemplated for more than a year. No councilman had nskcd him to submit the plans. Ho had simply done so for tbo reason that with tbo exception of tbo rotunda the building was being finished In the best of stylo. Unaer the old plans the rotunda was perfectly plain without an attempt nt orna mentation. Tbo expense of making the chances bad boon figured down to the minimum and ? 18OUO was a very low prlco. Moro than half of that amount would bo ex pended for marble. Regarding this bo had allowed the council to take its cboico of any of five kinds of marble. If the change was ordered It would not delay the completion of the building nnd would add very materially to Its interior appearance. A BRUTAL FATHER. Ho Is In Jiill Clinrijcil With Inhuman Treatment ofllU Daughter. John Hempolman , a grocer living at Twenty-seventh and Burt streets , Is under arrest for cruelly boating and maltreating his little daughter Mary. The case was discovered by Champion S.

A mooting of the directors of the Manu facturers and Consumers association was hold yesterday afternoon. A communlcnllon wan road from the Fremont Binding Twlno company asking that the association take action that would discourage tbo froa binder twine bill Introduced Into congress bv Con gressman Byran of Nobr.wka. The advisa bility of taking such action was discussed nt length , thcro being some hesitation for fear it might bo construed Into a political move. On the other hand It was argued at length that the object of the association was to cn- coura o homo Industries nnd hunco the asso ciation could with propriety tatto action In the matter. By n unanimous vote the secretary was In structed to forward the following communi cation to Nebraska's representatives lu congress - gross : In llelnitf of PreiiiDiit , "TO Till ! IlON'Oll M1I.B SCXVTOHS AND UUP- III.SKNTATIVES Ol' NllllMHKV IS TIIB FlKTV- sccoNti Ciisniict-si - The free binder twlno measure now before congress , If passed , will result In Irreparable loss to the best interests ol Nebraska and of the nation , A Nebraska Institution bus commenced the manufacture ot binder twlno from hemp llbro grown by Nobrnskn. As n direct result the price of twine to the consumer In Nebraska has no cllnocl fully 2i < ' cents per pound , while at the same tlmo tho'grnwlng of the hemp required to make twine returns a good prollt to the producer , Increasing the value of farm lands nnd reducing the ncroago of ether crops. Hemp does nut detract from , but adds to , the fortuity of tbo soil by reluming Its gluten back to the earth during the rotting process , which Is accomplished by the ele ments acting upon the hemp while lying cut In the Hold wbcru grown. "Good hemp can bo produced , as experi ments Imvo shown , in all the small grain states of the union. Nebraska has no ad vantage In soil or climate ever any of Its sister states , nnd for this reason hemp culluro now bids fair to become a national Industry. Mills Tlmt Arc nnil Are to lie. "At various points throughout the country , nt Stillwator , Minn. , Champaign , 111. , several points in Kentucky and nt Fremont , Nob. , hemp binder twine mills are In operation. Other localities , such as Bancroft and Kcar- loy , Nob. , and Stoux City , la. , are preparing 0 establish such factories , which free binder , \vlno would discourage. The development f the hemp twine industry nnd the raising f hemp has been slow , but none tbo loss , uro , as Is the case with sugar bcoU , but now when Its production has been , by practical ; rlnl , fully and fairly demonstrated , there Is 1 general interest in the welfare of the hemp ud twine industry nnd best wishes for Its irosperity. "Tho hemp twine Industry in Nobrnskn has no warmer friend ? than these farmers ivho bavo used it to bind their grain , Its superior quality in strength and .length per pound moKing it preferable to all others. No demand for free binder twines comes spon taneously from Nebraska farmers. They mow full well that to destroy the competi- Ion in hemp , which such free taiifT legisla- iou would do , would leave them to buy heir twlno of European makers , the extant if whoso philanthropy has always boon an " unknown "quantity. "If the binder twine used in thn United States was made from American hemp , ab it , vlll oe in a few years if protected , tbo net jirollt to the hemp growing fnrmors would oxccod by half the tariff now imposed on the wine used thioughout the nation.
