Comment of Interested Parties.
Union men and members, of the Business
, tnen"s association were Interviewed on the
injunction. None of the latter cared to
i&ak anything of a atatement. J. E. Crews,
president, of the Team Drivers' union, and
H V. G.uye,' chairman of the Central Labor
union arbitration, committee, gave out this
statement:
v "It strikes us ss a very sweeping Injunc
tion and Is unquestionably the nearest ap
proach to government by injunction that ws
have-, ever known of. As we have not yet
violated the law In the prosecution of our
strike, notwithstanding the fact that we
have ben provoked to do so, we shall con
tlnue to conduct our affaire peaceably and
Observe .the provisions Of this drastic meas
ure. We shall engage the very best legal
talent possible and try. to meet every issue
In the case. - We shall depend on the gool
people of- Omaha for their support in this
trying time. We believe in the Justice of
our cause and believe we can Impress them
With the seme f-ict."

J. B. Baum We do not care to bs quoted
on the strike situation In any manner.
W. S. Jardlne Conditions at the present
time scarcely warrant a statement of any
kind. There has been nothing definite de
cided upon by the business men that rs op
portune for public Information. So far as
measures that will be used to enforce ths
lnlunctlon are concerned, they mult ba
made later, as they are not yet planned.
J. A. Johnson It Is too early yet to tell
how the strike will bo settled or how soon.
Wo hope to have more men at work tomor
row. Today we succeeded In running five
wagons. I believe my men have a perfect
right to leave my employ and I have a right
to hire whom I choose to fill their places,
and that the former employee have no right
to molest the latter. I hava tried always
to bo kind, considerate and Just to my em

Business Men's Association Wants to
See Effect of Court's Order
on Teamsters.
The executive committee of the Business
Men's association held a well attended
meeting in the Commercial club reception
room last night. The score or more of
men who attended were compelled to walk
down the stairs, as the elevator was not
running when they descended about 10:80.
The majority of the members declined to
discuss the matters under deliberation or
decisions reached.
One of the best known of the men pres
ent said: "We have no desire to make
our meetings any more secret than is ab
solutely necessary to carry on successfully
what wo believe to bo a Just contest. To
night there waa little or nothing done be
yond a general discussion of the situation
and ths conditions. The events of the day
were gone over, but tomorrow new condi
tions will be presented under the federal
Injunction. This n Itself mar be sufficient
to permit the street traffic to be carried
on in peace, and If so there will be no need
of plans to enforce its provisions-. We are
simply going to wait and see what effect
It has on the strikers. r '; '..' .
"Personally, I believe the police forceps
Inadequate to .protect the Interests of the
city as affairs existed today with no Injune
tion. It la true that along the route from
the freight houses and In the- proscribed
district there was no fore or violence, but
every time a team went oatslde the bounds
several policemen went with It. Chief
Donahue Is doing all he can, but his men
are too few and ths city too big for them
to cover It and besides from day to day
the traffic by nonunion teams will increase,
"As a matter of fact, I know-, of three
cases today where overt acts of violence
were performed. A piece of Iron was hurled
by some one from an upper window of a
building In the Jobbing district that nar
rowly missed a nonunion driver named
Coe. In the alley , between Howard and
Jackson streets and near Fifteenth a brick
wss thrown at a nonunion teamster, but
missed Its mark.
"Another assault Was the lashing across
the face of a nonunion driver by an officer
of the TeamBters' union. This occurred on
Eleventh street between Dodge and Doug
las, and has aroused the Ire of every one
who has heard of It. All these disturbances
occurred during the afternoon."
Another meeting of the Business Men's
association Is scheduled for tonight. :
NO STATE TROpPS FOR OMAHA
Governor Mickey Declines to . Accede
to Request Irons Transfer
Companies.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May . (Special.) Early this
morning Governor Mickey received a com
munication from a number of transfer com
panies In Omaha, asking for the state
troops to protect their property. They de
sired troops to help them start. Governor
Mickey at once called up by telephone one'
ot the companies and Informed the official
In charge that he would call out troops
only' upon the. request ot the sheriff of
Douglas county. The transfer company
j representative Informed the governor that
the companies had sent the communication
only to show his excellency how serious is
the situation in Omaha.
Governor Mickey aald it la not his Inten
tion to order out the state , troops unless
the situation gets beyond the control ot the
' police and sheriff. Many reports were In
' circulation here today that tha militia had
been called out, but this was denied by Ad
jutant General Culver, who said he had re
, celved no word from the sheriff that the
troops were needed. During the afternoon
the governor was informed that .everything
In Omaha was quiet and several teams were
on the street and were moving unmolested.
A member of the legal profession ssld the
law required that first the police had to ap
peal to the county authorities and that It
both together could not preserve peace, the
sheriff then could call upon the governor
for troops. The governor will not call out
the militia unless it Is absolutely neces
sary and It cannot be avoided.

COAL COMPANIES GET BUSY
Will Follow Lead of Tranafer Men
and Operate1 1'nder Cover of
tha Injunction.
Following the lead set by the transfer
companies, the coal dealers, one of them
says, will attempt to deliver fuel -with
nonunion drivers beginning probably this
morning. A member of the Sunderland
Brm said that no effort will be spared to
move coal as freely as though there was
no strike In progress, snd that he did not
In the least fear the effort would fall,
Whether the drivers will, be Imported or
procured In Omaha he would not gay. Ths
whereabouta of the carload of Kansas city
negroes waa a mystery today. No one
could find them. They were not at work
and none of the strikers professed to know
where the black men had been concealed.
On the subject of delivering coal Victor
Whits yesterday aald:. "We are simply out
of ths business for .the present. We were
psrlng what ths scale called for snd were
unwilling to have any trouble with our
men and they. knew It and were satisfied,
but the union called them and they went
out. We hava orders for ninety or 100 tons
tf coal and are of. course unable to touch
bem. The people are showing great pa
tience and forbearance.
Mr. White employed only teamsters own
ing their own teams.
From the Nebraska Fuel company this
statement was made: "We have not started
or tried to start a team and have no
definite plan Tor doing so. We are simply
waiting. We know of no concerted action
planned hy the coal dealers."
Gould Diets of the Diets Coal and Lum
ber company, said: "No team are run
ning from our place. If you would go down
to our yards and aeo the army of teamster
pickets there you wouldn't wonder. . Ws
have no plans for starting teams."
The c u. Havens firm gave out mis
statement: "Doing nothing but waiting.
Orders are piled up as high ss our coal,
but we can't help It. We have no teams
working and don't know when we shall
have. We can't tell anything of what ths
Coal Dealers' association or ths Business
Men's association ' Intenda doing."
The scarcity of coal all over the city la
Increasing as are demands on the coal
dealers.

proposed settlement of the carpentera
. . .. .. concerne(i
which may be submitted to the union as
soon as he returns from Sheridan, Wyo.
where he is at present.' Mr. Jobst aald:
"I have two large contracta on nana
which were figured before the carpenters
made their demands for 60 cents an hour.
As a general proposition, the contractor
does not care what price he paya for labor
when he knows what price every other eon
tractor Is paying, and that price Is consid
ered when ha makes a bid on work, but In
this caae I have figured these contracts
'ben I believed that the men would be
satisfied with the wages paid laat year, and
one of the Jobs was started and some work
done at the old price. Now I propose a
plan which will be fair to both sides. Let
the men accept the old scale on all work
which was figured before the scale was
changed and let the contractors agree to
pay the new scale oh all future work. It
will be difficult to have men working at
two wage scales and it will be impossible
for me to get men on old work at 40 cents
n nour tM other contractors are willing
to pay 60 cents an hour on new work, and
for this reason the union should levy an
assessment upon ' all ' members receiving
the new scale to raise a fund with which
to pay the men at work at the old scale
the amount received by the men receiving
the higher wages after -the amount of the
assessment has been deducted. The old
work will last but a few months and then
all will receive the new scale,
"Whenever the anion la ready to do this
I am ready to sign the scale and continue
work, but I cannot afford to pay 25 per
cent more for wages on work figured close
six months or more ago."

results came of the mestlng. After it wa
over. Tolf Hanson, proprietor of the Calu
met restaurant; W. H. Balduff and I. A.

'The restaurant men scarcely know Just
what to do. We want to get our business
going and we met tonight to see If some
means could not be devised for that pur
pose. But we have failed to decide on)
any so far. Tne fact Is, we cannot get
any help, any provisions or supplies of sny
kind. Our supplies sre shut off because ot
the teamsters' strike, and it would be n
use for us to open up and try to do busi

a need of protection, which we are not

Then he returned to the hotel, where he
made a brief address and presented di

It was from Arlsona that ao many gal
lant men came Into the regiment that I
had the honor to command. AHsona eent
men who won glory on hard-fought fields
and men to whom came a glorious and an
honorable death, lighting for the flag of
their country- As long as I live It will be

years than any other material movement
I want to ask you to do one thing In con

own Interest and the interest of a ) the
coutry keep this great wonder of nature as
it now is. I hope you won t have a bull, -lng

die and they are good enough for me to
treat as squarely as any white man.
There are a great many problems In con

them from corruption, from brutality and I
regret to say, we have to save thera from
certain eastern philanthropy."
