i !
At the call of ( seventeen directors a
special meeting of , the board of directors
of the exposition was held yesterday after
noon for the purposcr'of ' considering the
matter of the appointment of a director gon-
cial for the enterprise. Although the call
for the meeting was not filed with Secretary
Wakeficld until 12:30 : p. in. yesterday ,
and telephonic notice of the meeting did not
reach some of the directors until after 3
o'clock , such was the general Interest In
the vital question to be presented for con
sideration thnt twenty-seven directors were
present when the roll was called.
Before the call for the meeting was read
the president directed the secretary to read
n communication which was handed him.
This proved to be a letter from General
Mandcrson , withdrawing the resignation as
n director tendered by him at the last meet
ing of the board. This action of General
Mandcrson was taken nt the urgent solici
tation of a number of the most Influential
directors and the reading of the communtca
tlon was greeted with hearty applause and
e.\presslons of approval.
The call for the special meeting was then
read and the president asked for the fur
ther pleasure of the meeting.
Mr. Montgomery was the first one on hla
feet and he said ho wns opposed to any un.
due baste on the part of the board , saying
that It would be unwise to take hasty action
on a matter of such great Importance. Ho
urged the shortness of the notice ns n rea
son why the meeting should adjourn to
some future time , In order that n full at
tendance of the board might bo obtained
and the matter given careful consideration.
Ho closed by moving an adjournment until
Monday next at 4 o'clock.
Mr. Yost suggested that the executive
committee should present n plan for the
centralization of power In one man or say
that they do not want such a plan , and he
amended the motion to provide that when
the board meets Monday the committee
shull present n report on these lines.
niNcMtNM the Sulijeut.
Mr. Kosewater said the board had already -
ready to unload too much of Its own respon-
slblltty on the executive committee and he
urged that the matter bo discussed Informally
mally , In order that It may be better un- ,
dcrstood when the board meets on Monday.
This idea prevailed and the members of
the executive committee who were present
wore called on to express their views , Mnn-
ngcrs Llndscy , Diuco and Rosewatcr being
the only ones present.
Mr. Llndsey said the executive committee
had been told continually that it was doing
well ; If It should bo proposed to now place
all the power in ouo man's hands ho would
oppose it. i .
Mr. Bruce said 4io had been serving
twenty-ono months' ' to the best of his abil
ity and if ho had failed the board was re
sponsible for electing him on the executive
committee. He said he did not want any
assistance except that'Of his co-workcra of
the last twenty-ono months.
General Mandorson isnld the matter under
consideration was one-of grave Import and
should be decided only after due conslderri-
lon and a full attendance of members of

tbc board. Ho Bald thcro wns another mat
ter which should nlso receive careful con
sideration the qurttlon of cash premiums
for live stock exhibits. Ho referred briefly
to the Importance ot the live stock Industry
to this section of the country and then
turned again to the matter of n director
general. He Bald the question was one
which would not down. The board thought
It had settled the matter some months ago.
hi It did not seem to bo any nearer a eolu-
t ! than before.
Ho complimented the executive committee
on the efficient manner In which n thankless
task had been accomplished , but there now
seemed to be a great difference of opinion
In the executive committee with reference
to the necessity for a director general. Ho
snld ho thought It wns about time the mat-
ler was brought before the whole board and
each member of the committee called upon
to give the reasons for his position , lie
said that ho did not desire to oust the mem-
ben. of the committee or to curtail their'J
powers In any way , but he simply desired to
relieve the committee of the burdens Imposed -
posed on It nnd to ma ! < a n moro symmctrl-
cat organization. Ho called attention to tha
fact that the representatives of the people
who will be here to see the exposition are
now on the ground and morn are coming
every day and ho deprecated the necessity
of furnishing these people with grounds for
reports thnt the exposition management Is
wrangling.
COON Over ttiitll Monday.
General Mnnderson said he would have a
poor opinion of a member of the executive
committee who would resign In case the
board decided thnt a director general Is
necessary. He had heard several statements
of that kind , ho said , but hoped they were
not true.
In conclusion General Manderson Insisted
that the executive committee ohould formu
late some plan for enlarging the powers of
General Superintendent Foster , If he should
be decided to bo the man to bo vested with
moro power.
Mr. Ilosewalcr said there had been no
contention In the executive committee re
garding the appointment ot a director gen
eral nnd no proposition to appoint one. Ho
reviewed the events preceding the nppolnt-
ment of Mr. Foster ns general superin
tendent nnd said that stnco that appoint
ment there seemed to have been a combi
nation to curtail his powers ns much ns
possible. This had been carried BO far that
Foster was n mere figurehead , without a
shadow of authority In any department.
This state of affairs had forced the convic
tion that this could not continue during
the , exposition. "If Foster Is not competent
:
to fulfill enlarged duties bo should bo dis
missed , " said Mr. Rosewater , "but the pres
ent state of affairs cannot bo allowed to
continue without seriously menacing the ex
position. Already there are throe different
departments on the grounds and soon there
will be five. The employes of each of these
departments nro supreme nnd the result Is
a conflict of nuthorlty which is causing
trouble nnd delay. " The speaker detailed
n number of circumstances showing the
practical operation of such organization and
declared that the only solution was to have
some one In general power. This officer
should have control , under the executive
committee , over all the men on the grounds.
Mr. Hosewater declared that no business
could bo conducted successfully without an
executive head and such an officer In a
business house or n railroad or any other
great business does not abrogate the powers
of the officers or directors.
A desultory discussion followed these
statements ot the situation , the consensus
of opinion being that the time had arrived
for the concentration of nuthorlty and re
sponsibility In ono man who is to direct
nnd supervise affairs of all the departments
reprcsentcdby subordinates on the grounds
and the motion to adjourn until Monday
afternoon was then carried without a dis
senting voice.

From the resolutions printed herewith It
votild appear that the members of the
utchors' unions In this city have no luton-
lon of going out on a strike. The resolution
vas adopted at ft joint meeting of the Amal
gamated Meat Cutters' unions Nos. 2S and
3 , American federation ot Labor , on
, lny 5 :
To Whom It May Concern : H Is with
- egret that we feel compelled to deny ru-
nors which have been circulated detrl-
ncntal to the best Interests of the laboring
class. Although our union Is not unalter
ably opposed lo strikes , such a thing has
never been sprung In our meetings only as
nombcrs would ask what all the Direct talk
\as about and where It came from. The
sti Ike Is one of the last weapons we are al-
owcd to use. That there may be grievances
or cause for grievances have no reason
o doubt , but we expect to profit by the ex
perience gained In ISP I and hope that this
lenlnl "will bo the means of abating the ru
mors In circulation. We cannot understand
.ho object of certain persons In opreadlng
the report of a strike. Our lodges were or
ganized to protect ourselves on all lines and
wo claim that an Injustice bos heen dona
us by this report. The cauipalgn wo In
augurated In South Omnha when wo first
sent for our charters did not Include stnto
militia. Catling guns or anything In that
line. The respect of the better class of
citizens Is solicited by our un'ona. ' Wo In
tend to net considerately In ull matters that
may coma under our consideration.
This resolution is signed by n commlt-
PO of the unions mentioned and the original
locument sent to the press bcr.rs the seals of
loth the unions.
Some of the members of the meat cutters'
unions are of the opinion that the talk of
n strike was first started by n few men who
hoped to Jump Into prominence as managers
of n great strike. These persons , It la as
sorted , have little or nothing to lose. A
; rcat many of the butchcis have purchased
lomcs of their own hero , while others nro
paying for places now. It Is admitted that
some of the members have grievances , but
.lie emphatic statement IB made that the
question of n strike has not been considered
at any meeting of the unions.

The announcement of a very low
rnto to the nulf. which was mailo by th
PlttsburB & (5nlf system some days ago.
ha.i renewed Interest In the proposition to
put In n now grain clerntor nt East
Omnhn. The effect of the Omnlm connec
tion with the now system la to afford nn
outlet for export shipments from Omaha to
the gulf , with n haul of about SCO inllos
as compared \\ltli the hnul of Hourly 2,100
miles Hint Is necessitated by the dcvloiia
route by which most of the grain goes from
Omnlm to the eastern seaboard. Local grata
men who nro familiar with the situation
SPO In thin nn opportunity to mnko Oninhm
the irrcnt 'grain point of this part of the
went , If the business men niul property own
ers ) of the city would take hold of the mat
ter with nn energy nulllclcnt to overcome
the termemlous opposition which the prop
osition la bound to meet from the corpor
ations whoso Klip on the Ions haul would
be loosened by such nn enterprise.
That the opposition to the scheme \vontil
bo powerful and persistent Is evident when
the situation Is understood. The one thins
needed to mnkn Omaha a great grain center
Is admitted to bo n "milting-In transit"
rate on grain shipments. In other wordi
the railroads must agree to allow grain to
bo shipped to Omaha , stored or chant d hero
and then shipped to the seaboard , the rate
on each haul to bo the proper proportion
of the tluoush rate flora the original point
of shipment to tire place of final delivery.
According to the statements of grain men
the , principal reason why Omaha has novcr
been able to secure this rate was on ac
count of the fi per cent differential which
\ > as maintained by the Could Interests In
favor of St. Louis. The haul fiom Omaha
to St. Louis Is about the saino as that from
Omaha to Chicago. Aa the grain could bo
shipped to St. Louis t > cents a hundred
cheaper lluui to Chicago the railroads were
afraid that If they guvo Omnhn n milling
n transit rnto the grain that was stored
.icre would go out to St. IxiulB and they
\ould lose the haul from Omnhu to Chicago.
Another IwiM-ntlvo to llolil Oil.
While this differential Is still supposed to
exist It Is alleged that It has been prac
tically nullified during the last ten months ,
but It Is asserted that the low rate now
offered by the Port Arthur system would
jo n still moro potent factor In Inducing
: hu railroads to refuse to make the late
thnt would allow grain to be stored In
Omaha. If n largo elevator biulnosi was
built up hero the producers would be abio
to ship their ginln to the southern Bcaboatil
and save n largo per cent of the coat ot
shipment over the eastern linen. This would
take the business away from the lines be
tween Omaha and the eastern seaboard , a
result which the roads would endeavor to
prevent by every means In their power. In
this they would bo nssluted by the local
grain men who represent the b's C'hlcn o
houses and who would nlso have nn inter
est In keeping the business on I'd a eastern
Hues.
The grain dealers who nro not associated
with these Intcresta tlcslm-a that the con
summation of the enterprise would make
Omaha n bigger grain market than Knnsaa
City and so fuithcrf toward bull ling up
the city than anything else that could bo
suggested. One of the Inrg t dealer. ! said
ycstovday : "Whenever the rnllioai's can be
Induced to glvo this point a milling In
transit rate , elevator capacity for 5,000,000
or 0,000,000 bushels more than wo have now
could bo used to advantage. Until such a
rate is secured , however , w ? havn all the
room wo neod. As the matter stands now
the proposition will undoubtedly encounter
n tremendous opposition from the railroads ,
especially If H Is proposed to put In an
elevator that will bo used exclusively for
the benefit of the 1'lttaburg ft Gulf system.
But If It could bo pushed through It would
bo the biggest thing for Omaha that haa
occurred In years.
Xr.tui-.il .Shl ! > jln T Center.
"Omaha la naturally adapted for a great
Grain center. With the low rates to thu
gulf. It ought to bo the central point be
tween a vast tributary stretch of country
and the seaboard. With railroad rates that
would allow extensive storage hero , there H
no rearon why we should not devclopo Into
the biggest ( -rain point west of Chicago. Wo
would get the speculative trade first , but
as our storage capacity Increased wo would
have mcro to do business on and the local
grain trade would Increase In proportion.
They talk about doing this sort of business
on wind , but an a matter of fact wo must
have Bomo substantial basis. If wo have
a certain amount of grain In the elevator *
wo may sell It back and forth several times ,
but there must bo
something In sight to
trade on. When the city becomes n big
storage and shipping point then It Is bound
to become a big trading point. "
It is noticeable that while the oplniom
of the brokers who
do not represent cast-
ern houses H unanimous that additional
elevator capacity with
proper railroad rates
would bo a tremendous benefit to the pro
ducers and help to build up the grain business -
ness in Omaha , they nro not Inclined to
enter into any controvoruy with the rall
roads. They assert that there Is not a
state In the union that has enjoyed the
same advantages nt the hands of the rail
roads during the last ten months thnt No-
irnska has. They call 'attention to th *
fact that the roads have allowed Nebraska
shipments to bo made direct to the sea
board for export , thus avoiding the ter
minal charges at Intermediate points and
allowing the producer nn extra profit of
'rom 2 to G cents a bushel on his corn. They
ndmlt all the advantages that would accrue
from nn increased storage of
grain nt this
point and that thcro is an abundant op
portunity for three times the business that
Is now trammeled. They atate that thin
could easily bo brought about if the rail
roads would give Omaha the rate that is
made for other grain centers , but Intfmato
that the roads nro doing what Is right , and
that It is not to ba expected that they will
mnko a rnto that will build up the Omaha
grain trade and give a cheap haul to the
producer when the result of such notion
might bo to divert the business that they
now enjoy to other lines.
Term I n nl Conipmiv'M IiitercNt.
The elevator enterprise was tnken up by
the Commercial club Bomo time ago , hut
nothing seems to have been accomplished.
Secretary Utt Bald yesterday that ho thought
that the Knst Omaha Terminal company wns
still working on the matter , hut that there
wus nothing definite to announce. Secre
tary Webster of the terminal company
stated that the company still has the pro
ject In contemplation , but that the war has
operated to postpone financial enterprises.
