Mora Statistic Wanted.
C. H Watson, deputy labor commissioner
ef the state. Is In Omaha today in confer
ence with the railroad and real estate offi
cials concerning desired amendments to ths
laws relating to collection of statistics. As
the statutea now atand, the laws on this

tive. There Is no punishment provided for
false returne, aad not enough provision for
a variety of statistic. Among other things
suggested Is collection. In the future, of
statistic relating to birth and death .In
lb state. .
Ever sloe the bureau of labor haa been
eetabllahed, those at its head have suffered
from the handicap of Inadequate laws. The
successful fight of Mr. Watsoa this spring
to get the assessor of the atate to collect
and submit crop statistic Is stllf fresh In
the public mind. Mare elaborate returns
are desired, together with stringent provis
ions against falae return.

"Tbe time Is near when the cltliens of
Omaha' must and I believe will undertake
a settlement of this Union Pacific strike,"
satd a city official and active business man
yesterday. "I am willing and anxious to
do anything I can to settle the difference
existing between the company and It men
and restore normal conditions. This course
will, I believe, be adopted before long. Tbe
strike Is hurting the city and hurting the
business men; It has been hurting the com
pany and hurting the striker all along,
and there 1 every reason why It should
and could be settled. I think a mass meet
ing ot cltliens will be called very soon, at
which the question may be fully aired and
some method of procedure decided on."
. It la admitted that the company and the
striker ar equally averse to making the
first concession, but the sentiment Is grow
ing that either side would be willing to
take the second step, and so It Is "up to"
some diplomatic peacemaker to get the con
tending faction together. The action of
the Real Estate exchange yesterday In ap
pointing a committee to offer Us service
of mediation has been commended and it
is thought may lead to a solution ot the
problem.
Officials ot the Union Pacific stated late
yesterday afternoon that thus far they bad
not been approached by the committee ot
realty men.

ers' who have struck that their action was
due to the company's violation of an agree
ment it entered into with the car men July
7 is pronounced the merest subterfuge by
officials of the company. Superintendent
of Motive Power McKeen, who Is closest
In touch with the situation, defend th
company by emphatically . denying the
charge of bad faith made by the strikers,
contending that the company has lived up
minutely to every detail of the agreement,
and that the only violation of faith ha
been on tbe part of the car men in atrlk
lng after signing an agreement, through
their committee, that they would accept
the provisions ot that compact and remain
at work for the period of time specified
therein.
All tho olBclal of the Union Paclfio
whose positions connect them with the
strike situation affirm Mr. McKeen' state
ment and hold that the oar builders
struck, not because of violations of agree
ment by the company, but through sym
pathy for the other strikers.
"That of itself might have been all
right," said an official, "but why do the
men not udmlt that they struck through
ftvtmtathv and not charge the company
with falling to keep lis contract with
them?
"Tbe claim is made by the car builders
that since the adoption of this new agree
ment aome of them have been materially
reduced in wages, that foreign ecale have
been introduced and that foremen have
practiced discriminations between certain
workmen. Now our statement of the case
Is simply this: The company has not
violated It agreement, no cuts in wages
have been made, n discriminations have
been practiced and no foreign scales Intro
duced. These are the facts In the case
and merely denying them doe not alter
them In the least."
Exonerates Mr. Laaarford.
It waa suggested that tbe claim had been
made that the cute In wages were made
by tbe new piecework Inspector, Mr. Lang
ford, and that until his arrival the com
pany kept its agreement and the men got
the wages promised them.
"This is the worst sort of absurdity,"
exclaimed an official. "It is positively rid
iculous and the men ought not to make
su-h unwarranted assertions. Mr. Lang
ford has nothing whatever to do with ths
wages paid In the shops; he was employed
as piecework inspector and could not if he
was so disposed, make any cuts In prices
of work. Those things can be done only
by the superintendent of motive power and
even he would not act arbitrarily In tho
matter. To come down to the precise
question of prices having been cut, I wish
to say roost emphatically, that the prices
for car builder In tho Omaha shops where
the strike occurred, are exactly what they
were July 7 when tbe new scale was
adopted. Not a price has been changed.
The other day when the men were getting
ready to quit Mr. Barnum overheard one ot
them say that certain prices had been cut.
He asked the man to name the price and
the car builder could not do it. He then
asked him or any other to point out a
single instance where wages had been re
duced or discriminations practiced and no
body could do It. The men simply had
made up their mlnda to strike and they re
fused to listen to reason."
Officials ot the Union Pacific were asked
regarding a statement In the Railway Age
of Auguat IS that the company had placed
an order with the Baldwin Locomotive
works for 120 new engines.
Won't Dlscass the Statemeat.
"We cannot say anything about th mat
ter jast now," was all the Information ob
tained. It was not denied that the com
pany had placed such an order. Superin
tendent McKeen said he was unable to
give out any informstlon regarding the
eighty new engines ordered shortly after
the atrlke began.
Speaking of the company'a motive power
It was said that seven engines are now
awaiting at Cheyenne for crews, that the
business being transacted by the company
was ao great In volume that It had become
an ordeal to get englnemen and crews
enough for the trains.
John Qutnn, associate editor of the West
ern Laborer, an old shopman, made a trip
through the local shops or run the block
ade, as he ssys, Tuesday and succeeded In
completing his tour of inspection before
be waa detected.
ttnlaa Tells of His Visit.
"I went In," said Qutnn, "dressed as one
of the men at work (and this Involved
the doffing of my shirts) and everybody who
saw me thought of course that I was a
'cab' and consequently I was not Inter
fered with until I reached the machine
shops, after having been through the boiler
and blacksmith shops. In ths machine
shops I was arrested and taken before the
captain of the guards. I knew It waa all
off then, but I bad already seen enough.
The captain said I would have to go to
Barnum' office with htm to be Identified.
Barnum wa not In, but bl chief clerk
knew me and told the captain of tbe guard
that I had not worked there for fifteen
year and to put me out "
"In th boiler shop I found virtually
nothing doing. About nine men were pre
tending to be at work, but they were ac
complishing nothing. The blacksmith
shops had about thirteen fires burning up
real and Iron without any profltahle re
sults. The men seemed unfamiliar with the
work. The machine shops showed the
largeat force, but no more actual Industry
Thirty men were found In there and all
were idle, (landing around aa if they didn't

Late suppers gradually affected my di

suffering Intensely at times. I took sev

scribed for me by different physicians, but
still continued to suffer. But the trial of
one bottle ot Peruna convinced me that it
would rid me ot thla trouble, so I continued
taking It for several week and I was in
excellent health, having gained ten pounds."

BALDWIN WILL SURRENDER
Uwrer ts Reads- tw Meat Warrant
Against Hlaa at Horla
riatta.
Attorney John N. Baldwin of the Union
Pacific yesterday said he would so to North
Platte In about four or five days to answer
to the warrant of arrest Issued for him
upon the complaint of A. P. Kelly of North
Platte, who charges that Mr. Baldwin uaed
abusive Uncuace toward him, tending to
provoke an assault.
It I stated that Mr. Baldwin became In
censed over newspaper reports sent out by
Mr. Kelly to the effect that the Union Pa
cific attorney had called upon the governor
of the state to suppress the strikers, who
are said to have threatened a riot.
Thla I Mr. Baldwin's statement of the
case.
"I was standing on tbe street In North
Platte, In company with the governor, mayor
of that city and other prom'nent men.
Tbla man Kelly walked np and I asked him
If he was -the Kelly who had aent the re
port to The Bee aaylng that Union Paclfio
officials bad asked the governor to send
out troops at North Platte.
" 'I am waa Kelly's reply.
" 'Well, yon know that what you bave
written I not true, don't you?' I asked.
'W did not ask for troops.'
" 'Tea, you did,' be replied, 'and what I
wrote was not untrue.
" 'You ar a liar,' I aald. and with that
I turned to Governor Savage and asked him
it I or any other Unioa Paclfio official had
called upon him for troop and th gov.
rnor said 'no.' "
Mr. Baldwin says bs Is too busy with
official matters to go to Nortb Piatt at
present, but will be there to answer the
charge la a few day.
"Th company la in the right in this
Nortb Platte affair," he Insisted, "and we
bav the governor and th mayor and th
other local officer with us In this convic
tion as well as tbe better element of th
North Platte poopl. They all think the
Union Pacific la la the right and that the
striker ar la th wrong In this particular
cas."

"I ean conscientiously endorse Peruna.
I suffered for five years with dyspepsia,
which Impaired my general health and de
prived me of my usual nerve force. I
spent much money on remedies and pre
scriptions without any benefit, until I tried
Peruna. Before the first bottle was used
I felt much better, and after ten weeka
treatment I was a new woman and In per
fect health. I cannot speak too highly of
Peruna." Miss Alice Leemlng.
If you do not receive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
