THE OMAHA DAILY HUE: TUESDAY, SEPTEMltEIl 2, 1002. BOOST TEACnERS' SALARIES 2ou& Puts Them Back Practically Whert They Wen Last January. ,SOME FORGOTTEN, OTHER? GO HIGHER Captala Tompitll Resigns t ona- naaadant of Cadets aad Roseo Iloauaa la elected to tho Position. In By process of much parliamentary man euvering at cross-purposes and discussion along Unas previously covered, tha Board of Education last evening arrived at tba adoption of a resolution which In effect restores tha salaries of the principals of early all of tha schools and tha grade teachers to their status before the sweep ing reduction of last January, slightly In creases those of tha principals of tha lar gest schools by making the maximum sal ary $1&0 Instead of $140 per month anJ leaves tha ealarlea of tha superintendent, tha teachers of tha high schools and tha special teachera as they were fixed by tha latest revision of the rules. Tha question of salaries came up on tho 'report of tha committee on salaries, rec ommending the adoption of Mr. Woods' resolution to restore all salaries to the ' amounts at which they were fixed before tha January cut. J. 1. Smith offered a substitute to this report providing for tha amendment of rule 20 In auch a manner as to fix tha salary of tha clerks In the superintendent's and sec retary's offices at $80 per month and the clerk In the office of tha principal of tha alga school at $70 per month, and tha amendment of rule 137 In auch a manner as to fix tha salaries of tha principals of one and two-room buildings at $80 per month, with an increase of $5 per month VP to the eleven and twelve-room build ings, wnicn are both fixed at $125 per month, and from that point on the increase of $5 for each additional room continues to tha seventeen-room buildings, where the maximum salary of $150 la reached. Tha provision for the salaries of grade and kin dergarten teachers was taken directly from tha rules In force before the January cut, and In the substitute resolution no men tion was made of the high school teachers or principal of that school or tha superln tendent or the special teachers. Tha mo tlon to auapend the rules for the purpose of considering the substitute caused some debate as to the justice of Increasing a portion of the salarlea and omitting others but finally prevailed by a vote of 10 to 8 President Barnard and Mr. Levy being ab sent. Tha substitute resolution was then adopted by the aame vote. Move to Kaiae Others. W. r. Johnson then Introduced a resolu tlon providing that those teachers whose celeries had reached $110 and those who would under the rules be entitled to ralss to be paid tha aama as previous years and that the aalarles of ten of the teachers of the High school be Increased, tha teachers and the amount of the increaso to be determined according to tha value of tha services rendered and this to Include tha salary of the principal of the school. This resolution waa referred to tho com mittee on salaries. Tha report of the special committee on tha purchase of five additional lots called forth long and earnest debate. The com mittee recommended that inasmuch as the agent for the property had refused to ac cept tha board's offer of $1,760 and had de clared that the property could not be pur chased 'for less than $2,000, the board do nothing further In the matter. After much talk aa to the necessity of an early settle ment of this matter It waa referred to the committee on grounds and property to re port at an adjourned meeting to be held Saturday for that and other purposes. Propose Hew Teat Book. A report 'from the committee on text books recommending that "Stepping Stonea to Literature" be adopted as a preparatory portion of the courss in reading, was signed by Messrs.

Randolph, declining the position ten gered him as teacher In the biology depart' ment of the high school and stating as his resaon that ha had already accepted a po itloa In South Dakota.

TARE A HAND CitiEeni' Vetting Said to Be Hated in Interest ef Settling Strike UNION PACIFIC AND MEN STAND FIRM Neither Admits Hardship from Strike anit Both Claim Power to Kn dare Strnarde for Looser , Time. Another report Is current that public In fluence will be exerted In the Interest of a settlement of the Union Pacific strike. Soma two weeks ago a report of thla kind was circulated and the Real Estate exchange went to the extent of naming a committee which. It was said, would taks steps looking to sn arbitration of the differences be tween the railroad company and Its men, but nothing came of this and apparently the matter waa dropped. It was sug gested In some quarters that this move on the part of the Real Estate exchange was more as a "feeler" than anything else, launched for the purpose of ascertaining the possibility of settling the strike by auch a process. Officials of the company and strike leaders were not Interviewed by any of this committee. The report which Is now current is to the effect that a citizens' meeting la to be called this week for the purpose of publicly discussing the strike, Its effects and ways and means of its termination. The con tinued Idleness of several hundred men of this class producing an effect which extends through various channels and those Inter eats Indirectly drawn Into the affair are said to ba animating the movement for a settlement. There la reason to believe that a settle ment of this strike will not be attained without a painstaking effort, for both sides to the controversy, the strikers and the Union Pacific, evidently are as determined and uncompromising now ss they were when the strike began. Nothing has been done to facilitate closer relations between ths contending factions or according to their claims, weaken their positions. Waiting; to Be Led. Under such circumstances it is scarcely possible that either of the principals will take the initiative in any movement looking to an adjustment of their differences any time soon. The railroad company still boldly declares Its ability to withstand the strike for an Indefinite period, pronouncing Its motive power unaffected as yet, despite persistent claims of strikers to the con trary. On the other hand strike 'leaders assert their determination and power to endure a winter'a siege If necessary and even longer than that. A leader of the strike said a few days ago that the machin ists, . bollermakers and blacksmiths were able and determined to stand out tor their demands for a year If need be. But In spite of their unyielding attitudes Indications are not lacking of a disposition on the part of the railroad and the strikers to follow the leadership ot some outside Influence In settling the strike. Or in other words mMmim baa been given of even a de sire by both parties to have the fight brought to a close. If only It could be done Ithout compromising either ot them. With the passing of summer and the ap proach of winter anxlet? for a settlement of the atrlke, in other than atrlke circles. Is increasing. Naturally the question be comes pertinent, "Are the strikers In a position to carry the fight Into tha win ter?" In thla connection Secretary Grace of the machinists was asked last night for candid atatement. as to tha circumstances of the machinists, who outnumber the other craftsmen In this fight and with whose af fairs he Is in touch officially. Mr. Grace said: i "Positively, there has been no suffering as yet among any ot our men as a result of this strike. Our benefits have been promptly paid and while they are of course Insuffi cient to regularly maintain a family, they go far toward providing the actual neces- ltles and that Is about all our men care for just now. They are practicing the strictest oconomy and frugality. Can Get More Help. "Our men are Instructed to apply to me directly for aid should their conditions de mand mora than the regular benefits amount to and they are not even required to pre sent their wanta to tha lodge to which they belong. The utmost privacy Is accorded to such proceedings. As yet, I can say that not one machinist has found It neces sary to take advantage of thla provision. Prompt assistance will be given to any who may find it necessary to do so, but we do not apprehend much of this sort of thing. Of course, we cannot say exactly what the winter will bring. I am informed that a large number. In fact, It has been said, a majority of our men here In Omaha, own their own homes and probably the per centage of those who own homes in other towns along the Union Paclflo where tha strike exlste, Is even greater than here. This being the case you can readily see that there la a wide breach between us and dire distress. If It should be necessary as a very last resort for any of our men to go to work In order to sup port their families while this strike le In progress, they would be given permission by the order to leave ths city for that pur pose. Aa to obtaining employment that la the last question. There is work today for hundreds of machinists over the coun try and we are dally In possession of ap plications for men from different placea. No apprehension need be entertained along that Hoe. Of course, a fins has been pro vided by ths various orders Involved in this strike to be Imposed upon strikers leaving the city and taking work elsewhere. but in thla as 'in all things, exceptions are possible and could be made when ab solutely necessary, but aa yet none has been required." This morning all the 185 car builders who struck In the Omaha shops, are ex pected to be back at tbelr work, as a result of a surrender of their fight Sunday. The officials expreaaed considerable pleasure, but no surprise yesterday when they learned of thla action. They profess to sea this surrender of tha car men evidences of weakening among the motive power strlk srs, but the latter apparently are unaffected and unconcerned over the car men's course Tha bricklayers, carpentera, electrical workera and others who left the new shop buildings on a strlks a few days ago. will ba governed by the result of a meeting tonight at Labor temple by the allied unions ss to their course with the company. By Asthma and Hay Fever Cured. The truly marvelous cures of Asthma which are being effected by Dr. Schlff menu's Asthma Cure certainly call for not'.ce. Rev. G. L. Taylor, of Washburn, 111., says "Some T years ago my wlfs used several packages of your Asthma Cure which re suited la a permanent cure." A Hay Fever sufferer writes: "I have been a sufferer from Hay Fever for over to years, and It seemed harder every year The first night I used your Asthma Cure I waa greatly relieved. It cured my cough after ualng a few times. I ahall recom mend It to all sufferers ef Hsy Fever."

Whether the workmen will recede from their position cannot be said, but the prevailing opinion among the other strikers last night was thst a settlement of these difficulties would be reached within a day or two and the men would ba back at their work before the last of the week. GASOLINE RRE IN STORE Explosion In Pallor Pharmacy Caaaee Loss to Gooda and Bolldlna;. Fire which originated from tha explosion of gasoline In the front end ot the Fuller pharmacy at Fourteenth and Douglas street at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, burned the shelving on the east sldi ot the build ing almost half .the length of the store, broke out the plate glass 'vlndows on the east and front, burned the papur from the celling and did conalderable damage to tha stock. The gaslolne waa in a gallon cn and was under tha front counter. Tba caase of tha explosion Is conjectural. It belli preaumod that some one dropped a mitch near tha gas, and tha vspor Ignited. When this ran exploded the blaze spread to tbroe smaller cans, which also exploded. In aa Instant the entire front of '.he store v. as a mars of flames and the building filled with smoke. The employes ot the stori mudo a hasty exit through the rear door, it 'being Impossible to pass out the front door. By the time the fire department r.rrtved the flames hsd spread to an awning In front ot the store and menaced a fruit ettnd owned by John Mornell on the cast side ct the store. Mornell and a crowd of newsboye headed off any damage In thle direction by throwing oranges, apples, bananas and everything contained in bis stock Into tha street. The department qnlckly extln gulshed the flames. The loss on the build log Is estimated at about 1200 and that on the stock will be about the same, though the management was unable to tell accurately. Both losses are covered by Insurance. While the department was at this fire an alarm came In from Twenty-fifth avenue and Leavenworth street. Thla waa tha resi dence occupied by N. F. Psulsen. 90S South Twenty-fifth avenue.

DISCHARGES YOUNG SOLDIER Mercer-Broatch Board Lets Oat Worthy Fireman for Politi cal Reasons. The devotion of the Mercer-Broatch police commission to the soldier was shown yesterday when Chief Salter called before him A. B.
