J. H. Buchanan , general paononser agent of the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley rail road , chairman of the Transmlssourl com mittee , la presiding and William A. Gibson , connected with the ofllco of Chairman Mac Leod of the Western Passenger association , la hero from Chicago , serving as the secre tary. The meeting will continue In session today , and probably longer , unices the business nt hand Is cxpodltlounly disposed of. All of the western lines which belong to the association are represented at the mooting , with the exception ot the Missouri Taclflc , whoso representative li expected today. Among those In attendance arc W. F. Bailey ot Denver , general passenger agent of the Colorado Midland ; W. II. Cundoy of Denver , traveling passenger agent of the Denver & Ilto Grande ; L. M , Allen ot Chicago , assistant general paflpengcr agent of the Hock Island ; J. II. Buchanan , general passenger agent of the Fremont , Elkhorn ft. Missouri Valley ; J. Francis , general pas- Hanger agent of the Burlington , and W. H. Murray of the Union Pacific. One of the matters of Importance for consideration has relation to military rates from the Missouri river to the west. The oevoral regiments now being raised arc expected to give the railway companies con- nldorablo bualnesa when their transporta tion to the west begins , and the officials are dcslrlous of coming to some agreement whereby there will bo no cutting of rates In order to secure the business. This matter will bo definitely decided and It Is ex pected that others of equal Importance will ongroso their attention. ALL ROADS MEET REDUCTION Three I.lnvH OiieralliiK from Oninlin In .SmitlienNtcrii Territory Lower TJiulr UIITerciitlnln. The three railroads operating from Omaha through Kantas City to southeastern terri tory , which are the Burlington , Missouri Pa cific nnd Oulncv , will today establish the lowered differential on packing house prod ucts consigned from this city to points east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio rlvors. The Qulncy , comprising the Omaha , Kansas City & Eastern and Omaha & St. Louis roads , announces that It has received Instructions to moot the reduced differential llrst made by the Durllngton several days ngo and followed by the Missouri Pacific. What effect this change from a differential of 6 cents to one of 3 cents will have Is entirely problematical. In case the rates from Kansao City to southeastern points are held firm It iwlll result In an Increase of traffic on freight of this character from Omaha , as the local packers will be able to moot In competition the Kansas City pack ers with the lower freight rate which baa been made. On the other hand , If the lines operating In the southeastern terri tory , which terminate at Kansas City , Insist that the freight rate from Omaha must be 6 cents In advance of the rate from that city nnd In order to keep It so begin to reduce the rates from Kansas City , a freight war of no small proportions Is bound to result. It Is generally understood that In case a war la stirred up In consequence of this reduction the Kansas City , Fort Scott & Memphis road will take the Initiative and Its procedure after the new differential takes effect will be watched with Interest by the Interested lines. PATCH UP AN AGREEMENT Thrcnteneil lliileVnr Iletrrccn West ern IlnllroiuU Will Xot TnUe 1'liiuc Settlement In Mode. CHICAGO , Aug. 31.

LABOR UNIONS PROPOSE TO TAKE A IUND Some I.rmllnK llcnlcru Will Keep Open Snttinlny MKlitn nn They Clnlni Tlmt CloHhiK of Their Doom CiuiNCft n Heavy IONH , The fact that the labor unions nre taking a lively Interest In the early closing move ment and are threatening a boycott against the firms who have Joined In the agreement to keep open Saturday evenings , has caused the business men to skirmish about In n very lively manner. They are all anxious to learn which Is the better business prop osition of the two nnd In the last twenty- four hours there have been a mimbor of meetings participated In by the merchants who desire to keep their stores open. Some of those Interested In the latter movement , when Interviewed on the sub ject , gave their reasons for wanting to keep optm on Saturday night. "I am surprised at the action of the labor unions , " said the manager of the Nebraska Clothing company , "and I do not think It will work any good to them. I like to go home early mybolf , but when I find the firm I work for Is losing money by the arrangement , then I am In favor of keeping open lain. Clothing store-i are different from dry goods stores. Where men have to trade , early closing la disas trous to business. " The Department Siorcn. Managers and proprietors ot the largo de partment Blorce , who did not desire to bo quoted directly , told of the great difference It made to their business. They assert that the trade which Is lost Saturday night Is not icgalncd during the week , and state that the Saturday night trade of the South Omaha stores has almost quadrupled slnco the Omaha stores commenced to ctoso up early. One ot the department stores makes the claim that It Invoices the loss of fully $25,000 In a year. The other merchants on the late closing list agreed that It made a great difference In the volume of busi ness , and that the only remedy would bo to keep open Into on Saturday nights. Their Idea Is to have the female employes com mence work at 10 o'clock on Saturday fore noons. The complaint against the early closing movement albo como from the restaurant keepers and confectioners , and It Is said that In several cases there have been re ductions In the working forces on Saturday nights on account of the falling oft In busi ness. The merchants tell of these Instances as additional arguments In favor of late closing and say It Is proof that the labor unions are working against their own In terests. One business man went so far as to say that the new labor law was not passed with the purpose of protecting female em ployes , but was In reality a plan to throw females out. of employment BO that the places coufd bo filled by men. Knvorn Early Cloning. Thomas Kllpatrick , who operates a retail store.&tves the following Interview on the subject : "Some two or three months ago an early closing movement was started. Omaha had had a good deal of well earned advertising from Its Transmlsslsalppl Exposition and was no longer to bo counted as a country village , but rather as a metropolitan city of the first class. The tlmo was therefore right for the change and so closing our stores on Saturday evening at 6 o'clock be came at once an established fact and the movement extended to almost all lines of business. Further , Indeed , than even Its most coi nest advocates could have expected. This spontaneous movement was indeed the best evidence that we were ripe for the change. Slnco It has been Inaugurated we have hoard no complaints from any one and we know It has been supported by the work- ins classes. "While this has been our experience , yet , strange to say , a number of our city mer chants announce they will open tholr places of business on next Saturday evening nnd keep them open until 10 o'clock. If this was done In answer to some general or public demand we would be the last people to oppose It , but we are satisfied It Is not a public demand and that this action Is all the result of a short-sighted policy. "We will as a firm await the decision of the public. In the hope that the best senti ment of the community may sustain us In what Is a forward movement for the benefit of all. If we are not sustained we cannot afford to stand aloof. " A good many retail clerks are highly In censed over the fact that several stores have signified their Intention of opening up again Saturday night. The clerks will have a meeting tills evening In which the matter will be discussed. It Is understood that the union has decided to call their men out at 6 o'clock Saturday night and trouble Is looked for from that source. nnsTojr aroma nm tfARTS. Grnnd Nevr tint * of SHU" .
