THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, APRIL 0, 1002. LABORERS IN GREAT DEMAND High Wages Induce Many to Leave City for Grading Camps. CONTRACTORS BID HIGHER ON CITY WORK Employment Agent There la Moic Work and Wim Are Better This Pennon Than Ever Ilefore. There Is going to be a scsrcltr of labor In Omaha tbti season, anil this condition is finding eipr.stlon la the higher prion b d bjp contractors on all rltr work. Ths In dications are that sewer building, paving nd street grading will be hampered through shortage of "hands." The cause of this Is that the employment agencies re shipping men out of the city to the hundreds of railrcad grading camps In Ne braska, Iowa, Wyoming and the southwest. Railroad building In Iowa Is unprecedented, they say. One agency Is advertising for 200 teamsters to be sent to Indian Ter ritory to go to work on the Santa Fe. Another wants as many more to send to the northwest, but the men are not here nd there are few responses to the bill board advertisements. "A warfare among contractors In Iowa Is on already, notwithstanding that the eason la scarcely open," said a manager cf one of the agencies. "Most of the rail road contracts call for rush work, so the contractors must bava men at whatever cost, and as a result wages are going up. They ar already from 25 to 75 cents a day higher than this time a year ago. Most of the contractors are paying $2 and $2.25, and the chances are that there will be a decided advance over these figures before the close of May. These prices are o much higher than I ordinarily paid ln- tbe city for common labor that most of the resident labor of Omaha has been attracted to the railroad camps. Ciradlnsr Tampa Are Templing, "An a general proposition there are two distinct clasf.es of laborers those who live In the city and those who follow the rail road grading camps and It seldom bappena that one will desert his class to go over to the other, but this season Is a record- breaker. I know of hundreds of laborers who have lived In Omaha for years who . nave. left the city this spring to tske un railroad grading, many of them leaving tneir families here and giving up steady employment In order to take advantage of the gllt-edged prices which they believe railroad contractors will be forced to pay before the summer ends.". The Santa Fe contractors In Indian Ter ritory are paying from $1.76 to $2.25 per day for common labor, while teamsters get $19 month and board. Generally speaking, these prices prevail all over the west and outh. ORDERS F0RM0VING TROOPS Men of Thirteenth Cavalry at Fort Robinson Get Tv o-Handrrd-Mile March. . Order have been Issued for the movement of troops In tbe Department of the Missouri to prepare for the reception of tbe soldiers ho will arrive from Cuba this month. Tbe two troops of the Thirteenth cavalry now t Fort Roblnbon draw a prize In the way of a march of about 200 miles from their present elation to Fort Meade. They will leave Fort Robinson on the morning of April 20 and proceed by easy stage to the Dakota post, where they will I arrive j in bout ten days after their departure from Nebraska. At the time tbeae troops leave Fort Rob inson the Twentieth battery of field artil lery will leave that post for Fort Riley. The two companies of Infantry at Fort Rob inson will remain until the arrival of the troops of the Tenth cavalry from Cuba, when they will proceed to Fort Niobrara. Two companies of engineers at Jefferson barracks wjll proceed to Fort Leavenworth on April 10, making place for troops of the Tenth cavalry destined for the former post. A board to examine enlisted men for the grade of gunners baa been detailed to meet at Fort Leavenworth April 22, and upon completing the examination there to pro ceed to Fort Riley. The members of the board are Major Andrews, stationed at Leavenworth, and Captain Ward, stationed t Riley. To these will be added the com wanders of batterlea In which examinations ball be held. The regulations for the ex amination of gunners provide that enlisted xnsn shall be ao examined In theory and fWactlc of gunnery, those making 85 per cent to be designated as flrst-claas gunners and tboaa making 65 per cent to be known as second-class gunners. Tho act which authorises this examination provided for increase of pay corresponding to the grade received; at least that was the opinion ct aimy men when the act was paased, but on account of It peculiar phraseology the comptroller of the treasury Sent Free Jo Men.

M'INTOSH FILES HIS BRIEF Araae (hat llalr-pllttlna Rosihl Mast Sot Stead ta Way f Jastlc. Friday eight J. H. Mcintosh fllsd bis brief In the cas of ihriver and Morton against the city council with Judge Ryan the referee. The brief covere sixty paces and brings up all points raised In the orsl argument, together with tbe cases cited lu support ot tbe plea of the complainants The concluding paragraph la as follows: This rase Is one nf imrnmmnn tmnortanre It Involves not merely the question as to whether or not public servants shall be compelled to perform the duties enjoined upon them by law, but It also Involves the question as to whether or not these corpora tions, rich and powerful because without any compensation they have been granted right and privileges of great value In the public streets, alleys snd public grounds of ine cny, snail be permitted the full ann unrestricted enjoyment of all these special rights snd privileges with out at least contributing proportion ately with the small householder to the support of the government from which they derived their free franchises, and which protects them In the exclusive uee inn enjoyment or tnem. Too arrognni and selfish willingly to contribute pro portionately with the small property owner to the support of the government that has enriched them and that protect them, thill they now be permitted by a resort to lepal subtleties and technical rules Inapplicable to the case to avoid the mandate of the court which Is the only aaency to which the body of the taxpayers can resort to avert the threatened Injustice of having to pay not merely their own taxes, but the taxefe of the corporations, too? Hair splitting sophlstrlns and legal technicalities must not be permitted to stand In the wny of the Important and valuable rights we are here asserting. All we ask Is. that these corporations pay their equal and pro portionate share of taxes. We do not ask that they do more. It Is not fair that they ao less.

HORTON IS VALID TRUSTEE Jade Dleklaeoa Hold that Federal Coart Ha Rleht ta Appoint Hlaa. Judge Dickinson yesterday morning held that Judge Munger In United States district court had a perfect right to declare the Greater America Exposition company bank rupt and appoint Richard 8. Horton trustee and that such adjudication of that point was final. The ruling was on the motion of Horton to strike from the showing of Hayden Bros, th allegation that Horton was aot empowered to proceed In the collection ot $10,000 from them because the federal dis trict court waa without jurisdiction In tbe matter ot appointing him. It 1 the old contention over th stock subscription which Hayden Bros, made July 8, two days after the stock books closed, and that the Arm later regained by mandamus. Horton, when he was appointed, took the case to the su preme court, which held that Judge 8cott had do authority to Issue such mandamus and Judge Dickinson required the Haydens to make showing why they should not pay In the money again.

WORKMAN DROPS IRON ON HIS HEAD Bropby Emera from Blacksmith hap Jaat la Tine to Step I'nder Falllag; Welabt kall I Probably Fractured. Dennle Brophy, chief engineer of the Wil low Springs distillery, died at 10 30 o'clock Friday night at St. Joseph s hospital as the result of an accident which occurred late Friday afternoon , at the distillery. Just as he waa coming out of the blacksmith shop Brophy waa atruck on the head by a piece of railroad Iron about fourteen feet long which had been dropped from tbe roof of tbe building by an employe. A the Iron flew up on the rebound It struck Brophy again, breaking one of the bonee of bis right leg below tbe knee. Brophy was made unconscious by tbe blow and was picked up by other workmen, who bad been attracted by the cries of the man on the roof. The Injured man was removed to the hospital, where he waa attended by Dr. Pol lard. The wound on Brophy'a head waa just a alight cut in the acalp, but It Is supposed the skull was fractured at tbe base. The body has been removed to the undertaking rooms of Heafey ft Heafey. Tbe occurrence waa purely accidental, as the man who dropped the iron yelled sev eral times before dropping It In order to warn persons who might chance to come beneath him. This morning he waa almost crated with grief and refused to talk about the affair. Bropby bad been In the employ of the dis tilling company for about twelve years and for the last ssven years had been chief en gineer. He resided at 2211 South Eleventh atreet and was 58 years of age. He came to Omaha from St. Paul with a crowd of railroad men and was foreman of the men who rebuilt the Union Pacific bridge. Ho leaves a widow and two daughters, all of whom were with him when he died. The Six-Day Walkla Match.

Local agents of the Insurance companies in the Western Insurance union have re ceived no answer to their request for a chsnge In the rates which were to be made effective April 1. All ot the companies In the combination have not notified their agents to advance rates at this time and the local agents are not putting the rates Into force for any of the companies until all have aent Instructions to that effect, ss at thla time the new rates do not apply in thla city. From day to day Instruc tions from ths different companies to ad vance ratea are received. - ' "While we have received no official answer to our protest of last week." said an agent, "we hope that the action of tbe companlea will be favorabu and unofficial word has been received from aome ot the companies to the effect tbst they are giv ing the matter serious consideration. We hope to hear from the protest next week." Persons familiar with tbe conditions un der which the advance In ratca wai decldad upon, say that a change ia hardly to be expected, as there are ninety companlea In the society and all but four of them voted for the proposed advance. With thla majority in favor ot the plan, It Is hardly to be expected that the executive officers will consent to make the concessions de manded.
