Arangements have been maule for the com -

] North , Tenth street , a large hal , wit ii
ample rooln to acccmmodato the delegates
and tri nds. , While .everal 'or the weaker ,
e\.eal
unions have reported their finances too low
lo send their foil Qucto of delegates , each
organIzaton Is expected to send one dele-
g ate . IC no more. The Omaha organizatIons
are ali In pretty good financial condition . In
spIte or time hard times and
tmes. an a large repre-
! tatou wil likely be present from this :
c ity . while at Lincoln the ful reprcscutaton
w ill ve In attendance . there being no expense
ror delegates there except the per capita tax.
Th unions at Lincoln are reported consider-
ably stronger than ever. before and conse-
quenty time representation and delegation
rrom Lincoln will be large than al any pre
vlols meeting.
SInce the announcement by PresIdent D.
Clem Beaver that he would not be a can
dldato for re.electon the LIncoln worleers
have been layIng plans to capture the presI-
dt ency . and unless the Omaha candidates for :
that Important office do' some pretty good
work Lincoln will carry ar time plum. Thc ,
presIdent i or time State Federation Is also the
tate organizer and receIves $3 per day antI
expenses for time spent In building up the I
organization by forming new unIons and It t
asslmbles and reorganIzIng old ones. The I
financial condition of the stale organizatIon I
has i been so low during the past term that
not mich work was done by time organizer
However several new organIzatIon have
joluel j , In wllh the State Federation. and beginning -
ginning wih time new admlnlstrtou there ,
will bo a considerable sum or money to bo
spent for organization purposes. I Is expected -
pected that several Important questions wit I

WILL INVESTIGATE PRINTING BIDS.
The house this afternoon adopted a res1u -
ton directing time'cornnmittoo on printing 10 '
Dalee a strict Inquiry into the contract let by : I
the old printing board wIth Jacob North &
Co. for time printng d the house and senate
bills. Time resolution was Intredueed by-jc :
ness at Douglas and adopted almost unana
Imously. l Time printing commlte Is anxious
to commence the investigation . all time mati
tor Is likely to be probed 10 the bottom. The
tact that the ontract : was let for I prIce
more than dcuble time price two years ago
together wIth time tact that 11'o bids wer
wihin 2 cents ot each other leads inevitably
to the conclusion that collusion was practiced
among the bIdders to raise the prIce. The bill
work two years ago was of the cheapest
quality and the work so tar dne this sessIon
Is i no Imprvement.Vhen asltd In regard to
the closeness or the competition In bidding
blldlnl
for thIs work . 010 ot tIme bidders In'tormOl '
Time Bee that or the fIve firma asking for
time work but two. the Slw Journal company
and Jams b North , & Co. . were equipped to do
time work. The other three would have to
purchase new type. wire stItching machines
eto. . In order to fill tIme contract should It
bo awarded to any ana at timorn Therefore
he made hIs figures emi the work and then
added time cost or the new typo , nmacimlnery
etc. , necessary tim 10 It. lie presumed time
other companIes dId the same. The fact that
time three cJmpanles who hal o add the price
or several hundred dollars worth or new
material to theIr bids were only a cent or
two hIgher than North & Co. . who were already -
ready fully equlppcl. proves that the accepted -
ed bid was entirely too high.
There Is another avenue or extravagance
whIch time legIslature has not yet undertaken
to oxplore. Time new furniture . typewriters
desks , etc. . that have been ordered t equIp
time roms of the secretary ot the senate and
the several commlteo rooms arc going to
cost limo state a handsome penn . Altimouglm
Alhough
new typewrIters have been purchasell every
two years for many years back , time machines
whIch have heretdoro did service for thro
months have mysteriously dlsalmpeared . The
present sessten has aMed two now machines
to the lIst - at a cost at $100 each whlo
new desks have been purchased for a number
or the people. I must not ho understooll that
time secretary of the
senate Is entIrely responsible -
spnslblo for these purchlses , for he has
bought only for his own room. 'fho senators
themselves have been sleklers reI new rur-
mmiture etc. . In theIr respective committee :
rooms. and limo requisitons for supplies have
poured Into the hands ot time secretary or
state with unltorm regularIty. In many cases :
limo secretory or stab has refused to purchase i
articles or 'furniture for reels which the In-
venty shows to have been smmpimhIed before '
the senate tnvened. SUPllle

resolution by Jennoss er
rosoluton of Douglas concernln
the printing of bills. So plainly did iuil l
at fraud and
scandal that a hum or suppressed -
pressed excitement vibrated through the
house i for several nomenls. The house can
now be said 10 bD fairly at work as the
deserton or many ' lialrs showed that com-
