Objection of the t'lilim to llnldiilfs
.Mllliliuer IIckIiin to 'I'll I e mi II
.Semblance of Per
secution. W. S. Hnlduff, proprietor of the cafe nt
I.ako Mannwa park, was arrested yesterday
nftcrnoon on the charge of selling Intoxl
catinK ll( uurs, contrary to the law of Iowa.
Tlio warrant was ssued from tlio court of
Justice Ovldo Vlen, the Information being
filed by 11. C Doild, representliiK the Walt
ers' union of Omaha. Dodd wns accom
panied by his nttorney, S. Altsehuler.
Ilalduff has experienced more or less
trouble from the Walters' union of Omaha
ever since i-iko .Manawn was openen iur
tho season and he became lessee of the enfe
there. The trouble arose over the union
objecting to Ilalduff employing Thomas
Purshomo ns his manager at the lake and
not on account of any refusal on his part
to engage union waiters. Purshome Is not
a member of the Walters' union and claims
ho Is not engaged by Ilalduff In that ca
pacity. Ills position Is not that of head
wnlter, ns contended by the union, but that
of manager of the cafe and the employes
there. In tho nbsenco of Mr. Hnlduff he has
entire control of the cafe and the large force
of employes working there.
Krom the day the cafo was opened to tho
public the union has Insisted that Caterer
Ilalduff dismiss Purshome, but this Ilatdun
has refused to do. Not only does ho pay
higher wages, It Is claimed, than the union
demands, but hns nt all times stood willing
to employ members of tho union. Tho
Omnha union, however, would not be con
tent with this, but Insisted that Ilalduff dis
charge Purshome, unless the latter Joined
tho Walters' union. This Purshome de
clined to do ns he Is not by occupation, io
hu declares, a waiter, but Is cmp!o)cd by
Ilalduff ns manager of tho cafe.
1 1 It 1 1 1 It h InillKiiiiiit Protest.
Mr. Ilalduff watt naturally highly Indig
nant over the nctloti taken by the Omaha
union yesterday afternoon nnd declared
himself In no uncertain terms. He snld: "I
have a large sum of money Invested here nnd
It certainly does seem strange that I can
not conduct my business In tho stnto of
Iowa without being dlctnted to by nn Oinaha ,
union. I have at all times stood willing to
employ union waiters and I have always 1
paid higher wages than those demanded by
the union. On the opening day of the park,
when a large crowd was In nttenilance, the
union waiters I had employed In Omnha
treated me shamefully. Hecnuso my man
nror, .Mr. Purshome, Is not a member of
their union they refused to go to work and
lay around on the grass while hundreds of
customers had to leave without being
served. Their refusal to work that day en
tailed a loss of at least $200 upon me. I
cannot see how tho other labor unions of
Omnha nnd this city should uphold this ac
tion on the part of tho waiters. This Inter
ference in my business hero Is nothing
short of nn otilrnge."
As soon as tho warrant was served upon
Mr. Ilalduff tho sale of beer nt tho cafe
was discontinued and the hundreds of visi
tors were compelled to go thirsty. Ilalduff
gave bond in the sum of $100 for his ap
pearance beforo Justice Vlen this morning.

to enthuse and as yet there Is no avowed
candidate for n state olllce. A few men
have been suggested for places, but they
have had nothing to say themselves.
Mayor Vollnior of Davenport, for Instance,
has been suggested for secretnry of state
and Is also suggested for n congressional
candidate In the Second district. C. C.
Loomls of Des Moines Is a possibility and
It Is even intimated that It may be given
to General James II. Weaver In an effort
to catch the poimlltit. voto of the state.
Courtney Millard of Ottumwu nnd W. L.

for treasurer and Henry Flcher of Wash
