C1R BUILDERS TO CONFER Eti an Appointment to Ifeet General Manager Dickiisan. COMMITTEE TO REPORT TO THE UNION Other Trades la the Strike Believe It Effort Settle the Trenble Piecemeal 'and , Thus . Weakest Them. General Manager Dickinson of the Union Pacific pro ably will meet a committee from the car builders who are on a strike., Mon day, when a conference a to term of set tlement of the car men'a differences will bo discussed. The car men held a meeting yes terday at which It was stated that a com munication had been received from Mr. Dickinson requesting a conference with members from the car builders' union. A eommlttee to meet the general manager was then appointed and it Is designed to com ply with Mr. Dickinson's request tomor row. . If the plan tentatively decided on yester day Is carries out the committee which meet the general manager will not have power to act on any proposition he might make. It I the purpose of the car builders to empower this committee with authority merely to meet and confer with the general manager and ether official of the company and re port back to the union the result of that onferenc without committing Itself or the Union to any definite proportion. In this plan It Is thought the hand of allied strikers Is risible, that the matter has been d s eussed among the member ef other crafts en a strike as well as the car builder and that the purpose Is to reject any proposal made by the official that does not contem plate a settlement satisfactory to all the strikers. The car builder meet again thl morning, when thl matter will be further discussed. Weakest la Oraraalsatloa. The car builders were tho last of the tradesmen in the shops to strike and the last to perfect a good local organization. They are therefore the weakest In organiza tion and It Is thought are regarded by tho company as susceptible to overtures for peace. Succeeding In Us scheme of drawing the car builders back in the shops, it Is the alleged purpose of the company to use that aa a means of Inducing a surrender or eompromle from the other strikers. In fluences are at work bracing the weak members of the car builders' union and the Strikers believe they all can be held In Una. Borne days ago The Bee published the fact that a committee from the allied unions had been sent out to secure from the Union Paclfio trainmen promisee that tbey would refuse to haul trains bearing nonunion workmen Into any of the towns along the road. This committee has been actively at work all week and it is believed has ac complished Its purpose. This morning a meeting of all the trainmen, or as many representing the various trades as can bs there, will be held, probably lu Myrtle bill, when this proposition will be thoroughly discussed. Estead Ptee Work System. An order is said to hare been posted In he Union Paclfio shops extending the ap plication of tha piecework policy so as to Include practically all the departments. There I considerable excitement among the txlkere ever this decree and they are con Monday morning we place on sale in our newly en larged silk department and on bargain squares more than 1,000 pieces of new silks, specially imported.

No developments have come ef the Real EeUte exchange's move to conciliate the parties to the strike. E. A. Benson of the committee appointed to ottr the mediation of the exchange said yesterday that the committee had aproached neither the strik ers nor officials of the Union Paclfio and that the matter was resting quietly. The controversy between officials of the Union Pacific and the car builder who struck a few days ago aa to which party broke the agreement entered Into July T to be maintained for one year, haa reached a point where the car men feel called upon to issue a formal statement declaring that th company and not they violated this con tract. Letter to President Bart. Thl letter haa been sent to President Burt: OMAHA, Aug. 23. Mr. H.'o. Burt, Presi dent Union Pacific Railroad Company: Pear Sir As we understand that the of ficials of the Union Pacific claim we had no irrounda for walking out as we did August 18, we, a committee appointed by the car shop employes, furnish testimony of several men to show you and the public that we had ample grounds In the facts, aa proved by the evidence herewith submitted, that It was the company and not the men who violated th agreement. Respectfully, CHARLES JOHNSON. R. L. BAIt.KY. CARR AX FORD. F. SHAFFER. JOHN B. EVANS. ' The evidence referred to consists of state ments from different men who had been employed In the car shops. Pat McCabe one of these men, said he began work there August ( and worked continually until the strike. He claims he waa to get fl.25 for a running board on an Iron-roofed car and 11 and 9 cents a toot for patches on roofs. After three days of employment, he states, he waa In Ignorance as to what he was mak ing, that Mr. Langford, the new piecework inspector, cut wages and the foreman could not tell him what he was making. Comolalat of a Palater. James Bolan, a painter, saya: "Under the old system of pay I got 30 cents an hour for varnishing a car, which therefore gave me $1.20 for four hours' work. Under the piecework system I have to do that amount for 84 centa. Four hours tor var nishing a car la as fast as any man can work, but they have compelled ua to do that work In two hours and a half under the piecework system, which Is too much for a man to try to keep up. I could not keep up the lick regularly. At M cents an hour I varnished the car for 12.40, under the old pay system, but under the piecework sys tem I would do the work for $1.72. The company makes 68 centa on the car. Robert Bailey I waa required to put In a test day's work to see how much I could do. On August 11 two of us worked as hard as we could under this new sys tem and we made $2.84. One day we reached $2.(4. A day's pay ranged from $1.80 to $3 for the two of us, but, the lick waa too hard to keep up.' Never Received Preatlam. W. C.

The nationalization plan of the commit tee of the Plumbers' union was adopted with unimportant amendments by the con vention yesterday morning, after considera ble discussion. The only contention which di vided the delegates waa the apportionment of funds between local unions and the na tional body, and this question wa aettled by what I known aa the "de-centralization plan," by which the local unions retain In their treasuries all funda paid by the mem bens, and no money ts kept at headquarters except an amount sufficient to pay the run ning expenses. The local unions, under this ptan, pay to the national organization such fund as may be required in the regu lar manner, and a atrlct account la kept of the transactions. At the end of the year a balance is struck and unions which have contributed more than the average are repaid, while thoae whose contributions to the general expenses of the order have not teen as much as the average are required to pay the difference. This plan, while adopted unanimously by the convention, will not be effective until next year. The con vention haa reforred the matter, with It approval, to a referendum vote of all the member of th anion. The vote will be taken by the SCO affiliated union on Octo ber 17, and on the result of that vote the adoption of the plan depends. It Is said that so far as can be ascertained from the delegates present every union will favor the plan by a large majority, and the delegatee look upon, the matter as settle!. Hew Departure la Thle Coaatrr. The plan la somewhat of a departure In American unions, although It haa been in effect to a great extent In ' the German unions, and was brought from that country with slight modification by the Clgarmak ers union, by which It has been operated with more or leas success for several years. Th plumbers' plan la a alight modification of that of the cigar makers. There is pro vided a death benefit of $100, a sick benefit of $5 per week for a term of thirteen weeks, a atrlke benefit of $6 per week for alxteen weeks, after which the benefit drops to $3. The most radical feature la aa eld-age pen sion of $600. This Is psld to a member of the union who, after having carried mem bership In the union for twenty-five years, becomes incompetent by reason of old age. At the afternoon aession there was con siderable Interest shown in the reports of various committees. One committee has reported a resolution to increase the sala ries of all o (Beers and to requ're the presi dent of the national organisation to devote hla entire time to the work of the order, act ing ae aa organiser at auch tlmea as ha Is not engaged In his ordinary work, it is si 14 that the report will be adopted.

March iloulanger Les Ormes UNCERTAIN AS TO IDENTITY Police Cannot Make Ip Their Mlada as to Whether Mrs. Gibson Is Km ma' Goldntaa. The Omaha police are still endeavoring to aettle the question whether or not Emma Goldman, the archangel of anarchy, la dom iciled In this city. Chief Donahue believes i now that she is not, although the woman giving her name as Mrs. Mary Gibson, who was thought to be Emma Goldman, Is still under police surveillance. Early yesterday morning Detective Dunn and Savage went to th Martls block, where "Mrs. Gibson" occupies a aulte of rooms, and made an Investigation of the rooms and their contents, incidentally submitting "Mrs. Gibson" to a slight crosa-examinatlon, de signed to bring out her identity. It waa tentatively decided she was not Emma In the day the woman called at Chief Donahue's office and the chief held, a long consultation with her. He said after the talk: "I do cot thliik this Is Ftnma Goldman, in fact we have practically satisfied our selves on that point." Mrs. oiboo claims io iiavo corns here with her son from Chicago and says that he secured employment at South Omaha, and so told th police that her circum .

The chief found a woman on Davenport street who claims to know Mr. Gibson and say she Is not the noted anarchist. Chief Donahue thinks the photographs of Emma Goldman support this theory. ' The most mystifying circumstance about "Mrs. Gibson's" case is the two letters which are said to have been delivered by a postman Thursday addressed to "Emma Goldman," and which came from Chicago. It la still maintained that these letters were actually delivered and that the woman took them, glanced at the ad dress and then, effacing the Omaha ad dress, substituted that of Chicago, saying she would forward them to Chicago. Nothing has been seen of the letters. Postmaster Crow was asked If he had been apprised of the delivery of these letters and expressed ignorance of the whole matter. . The letter carrier on that route, J.' F. Lally, when asked about the matter, said he was forbidden by rules of the department from giving out any Information concerning such matters and the aame kind of answer was given by the superintendent of carriers. The police officer claim to be certain the letters were delivered. "Mr. Gibson" still declines to receive caller. At 1:45 yesterday afternoon Detec tive Dunn called and failed to gain entrance or elicit any response to hla repeated knocks at the door. Women In the flat said "Mrs. Gibson" waa at home at the time. The police, despite their conviction that this is not Emma Goldman, continue to keep a watch on the woman's movements, and frequent visits will be made by officer to the flat occupied by 'her until whatever mystery, if any, there la connected with her presence is solved. If, as baa been sug gested, she Is a foreruuntng confederate of Emma Goldman, Chief Donahue and his men mean to find It out. MEETING OF ROOSEVELT CLUB J. P.

Allison stands at the head of financiers. Young Dolllver ha taken his place high among statesmen. Iowa's Influence In Washington Is due to the tact that men are selected because of fitness. We should raise our Ideals, not only of the mental fitness of men In pub Ho life, but also of their moral Integrity. Nebraska stands at the head of the atate for general diffusion of education, and I do not understand bow wa have dropped down In our Ideals." At the conclusion of the address the Roosevelt quartet, the first singing band of the name In the atate, rendered a se lection. Omahaae at Lake Okobajl. . OKOBOJI. Ia., Aug. 2S (Special.)
