SO SEED FOR DAVE MERCER
Striker Dsclar Tley Can Attnl to Their
Own Affair.
UNION PACIFIC SCHEME DENOUNCED
Rrfmntdlrta of Or!il Labor
Aceent the Mediation
( the ftacond District
Coifrtiiati,
Striker were greatly animated yesterday
over th reported plan of th Union Fa
elfio to have It trouble with th men set
tied through David H. Mercer, as published
In The Bee. The matter was discussed at the
morning meetings of tbe atrlkera, the re
sult being In every case a repulsion of tbe
scheme. No striker could be found In Labor
Temple who felt that Mr. Mercer s office
a emlatary for organised labor In the res.
toration of peaceful relations between It
and the railroad corporation was either
necessary or desirable. If It Is determined,
therefore, to proceed with this novel plan
Jthe company and its assistant bo doubt
will meet with complete failure.
"Thua far we have ben able to attend
to our own business, both within our pri
vate councils and in bur relations with the
Union Pacific, and we have not reached that
point when It seems expedient to appeal for
or accept the services or assistance of any
person or peosona In the contemplation of
ft settlement of this strike." aald Vic Pres
ident TonvU Wilson of th International
Association of Machinists. "So far aa the
alleged plan of the Union Pacific la con
cerned It may show a very generous dis
position on tbe company's part to promote
Mr. Mercer's Interests by having him as
sume the magnanimous role of mediator
between capital and labor, but it'a a little
premature and uncalled for. We don't ask
or need any sucH assistance from the Union
Pacific All we ask of It la to meet the
demand we originally made. That done we
will have no further concession to solicit.
No Weed of Third Party.
"We have never yet been denied a meeting
or conference with the officials of the road
and w. da not apprehend anything of the
sort. Therefore, I do not see the reason
for calling In a third party to do what we
can do ourselves. Co far as arbitrating la
concerned, there Is positively nothing to
arbitrate. This strike will be settled by
the Union Pacific granting the demands
made by the men at the outset or It will
not be settled at all."
Another strike leader, a Omaha man,
bad thif to aay upon th alleged Union Pa-clftc-Mereer
scheme:
, "We ar not around looking for any way
of helping re-elect Dave Mercer. We are
not In thin thing for polities' sake or fcr
the aake of any politician, and w do not
Intend to have this strike prostituted to
Illegitimate purpose. We went Into it be
cause w "were convinced that our condition
a employee of th Union Pacific waa not
what It ought to be, and we are trying to
bring about th state of affair which we
believe, ought to exist. We do not propose
to be used as the pliant tools of any cor
poration or politician, and the man or men
who undertake to force us Into such aa un
warranted position will find himself or
themselves confronted by an Impossible
task.
Labor laderstaads Mercer.
"I thick -that organised labor, of which
great body we form a distinct part, thor
oughly understands Mr. Mercer, and It
aeems to m that Mr. Mercer ought really
to have so misgiving about organized la
bor and Ita attitude toward him, at least In
thla community. Event of th last fort
night have served to demonstrate most em-
phatlcally the relations existing between
' David H. Mercer and organised labor In the
city of Omaha. I have beard considerable
about this alleged scheme of the Union Pa-
ctflo and Mercer's machine; it ha been
going the round for several daya and I
think there la a great effort being1 mads
to foster It, but It certainly will meet with
a cold reception if ever proposed to the
trlkers. We can attend to our own bus
iness and Mr. Msrcer, too, when the time
cornea. Wa really look for the company to
propose some mean of settlement very
soon, but Mr. Mercer'a case 1 settled now,
so far as we are concerned."
Reports from North Platte yesterday
atated that tbe Union Pacific ha started a
movement to buy back all the tOO-serlea
of locomotive it sold some time ago to the
Santa Fa. It la aald that, falling to get Ita
Ighty sew engine from the east, the com
pany is compelled to Increase the number
' of englnsa and that thla Is the only imme
diately available means of doing this.

atrocltlea of the natives, th circumstances
leading to the giving -of tha bow famous
order, in fact every detail of his campaign

attendance at the reunion to bo held In
Washington In September and will there
map out hi plan with them. '

Increase th sentence of th court-martUl.
"I fcav . advUed th general and will

JUDGE'S DECISION ANXIOUSLY AWAITED
Froseenttosl Will Bo Baaed on City
Ordinances Instead of on State
lam Notes from tne
Maarlo City.
There seems to b considerable Interest
manifest in tbe outcome of th eases of
!?JUO? '" whn have heen cited to BD-
pear before Judge King; on August 14 to an
swer to tha charge ef keeping; their places
ef business open on Sunday. Aa nearly
everyone knows, these cases have been con
tinued for some time and It hardly seems
probably that there will be a further post
ponement. "
For some reason th city authorities have
seen fit to file complaints nnder ths city or
dinance only, not Including In any manner
tha state laws governing the dispensing of
liquors. - Therefore thpne who will com be
fore the police judge will appear only a
violator of elty ordinances an sot be ar
raigned under the statutes.
The reason given for this Is that the city
ord'nanes Is broader In ita oonstrjctloa than
the statutes and therefore can be used In
a trial In police court to better advantage.
It la understood that the decision of Judge
King will tend to materially decide what
action tha council' will take on the commu
nication aent In Monday night by tbe Tax
payers league and the Anti-Saloon league.
While the communication of the leaguea was
placed on file. It waa reported yesterday
that when Judge Kins; took cognizance of
tbe casea an attempt would bo made to se
cure for tha city tha aame Sunday regula
tions that it enjoyed In the past.

Rome of the member of th Board of
Education are divided la opinions regarding
th employment of a truant officer. Lott,
who la secretary of the board, has a favor
ite to play and be la not alone, as each of
tbe nine members wants something to say
about thla apoplntment. Lott put hie foot
In it when he wanted the officer of boiler
inspector snd truant officer combined. The
result la that the board has neither a
truant officer or a boiler inspector. A mem
ber of the Board of Education aald last
night that there wa no use of naming a
truant officer or a boiler Inspector at this
time for the reason uU the schools will pot
open for several weeks. The salaries to be
paid these officials will ,lt is asserted,
be saved to the district for the time being
at least. .

Invitation had to be declined on account
of the large proportion of the member of
the troop who are engaged la business at
