Corner 100 dcputlps I will get along by sorting them In squads of fire and Bonding them out with the policemen to cover the city; will1 nwunt them If necessary. I want to Insist that we do not need any state or fed eral troops yet, and we do not want them until It nas bein proven that we cannot control the situation." Sheriff Tower approved what the chief had said of troops and declared: "I can be depended on to select my deputies and enforce the law. If worst comes to worst I would place a shotgun in every wagon that runs the streets. I will say that 1,000 of the strikers now out have left their Work by fear and I believe we could get good deputies among them." This statement brought cries of "no, no," from the audience. "Well, If any man shirked his duty I would discharge him," said the sheriff. "Yes, but that would be too late," ex clnlmed some one in the hall. "Besides," cried another, "what sort of a deputy or sheriff do you think a man would make who would leave his work through fear!" ' Contentions of the Dullness Men. ' Attorney" Mahoney then delivered lengthy speech which aroused greatest en thusiasm, even more than had been appar ent through the meeting, and he was loudly and frequently cheered. "We now have two forces back of us, a federal court Injunction and the city and county authorities, " said Mr. Mahoney. "I think It best to give these forces every op portunity of showing what they can do before appealing for troops," Explaining the motives and objects be hind the Injunction Issued by Judge Munger, Mr. Mahoney said: '"We sought to obtain an element of pro tection through this Injunction. But wo recognize that It Is limited to Interstate commerce. Yet It has a potential. Indirect effect that may be quite as valuable as Its direct effect. For instance. If a striker sees a wagon loaded with goods go by he does not know whether those are goods consigned to another state or this state, yet If an Injunction Is hanging over his bead be will be deterred from making any attack upon that wagon or Its driver, so you see the effect is the same, '.."Now , the whole question In this contro versf Is the recognition of the unions. But what Is meant by the recognition of unions? If does. nut mean that the employer shall trest fafrjy with the union or deal equitably With It.' 'It means that the employer shall surrender hie rights and -accord to the union the right of recognizing him or not, just as It chooses. And while this Bust nsss Men association is willing at any time to meet the employes on any fair groupds named by the governor of this state, we do not think that we are called on. or that the governor ought or will call oh us. to.aocorj such recognition of unions as that which I have described. .Tteroanltlon of talons the Isaac. -uur position is that any man has a right to join a union; any man has a right to refuse -to Join a union; any employer has a right to employ whom he pleases, and arty man has a right to quit any Job he pleases; but we are unalterably opposed to that i sort of . recognition of unionism which gives to tha employe the right to say to hla employer, 'You shall hire this man or fire that man. or do nothing ex cept It please this union.' That Is not unionism; that Is tyranny. Yet that Is what this Business Men's association la asked to submit to and that is what we are protesting against. I want to say that we can never sign such ' agreements aa those presented U us containing these pernicious principles. Any business man who did sign one of those agreements would become party to a vile conspiracy against the lib erties of American citizenship." Mr. Mahoney concluded by relating cer tain Incidents which had transpired during the progress of the present strike, which he said confirmed what he bald said of the unions' demands. Transfer Companlea are Determined After the meeting the trsnsfer men of the city, representing the seven companies held a secret meeting and renewed their determination not to accede to the de mands of the teamsters, but to look else where for nonunion drivers.. Accordingly telegrams were sent to Chicago, St. Louis Kanaas City and other cities for nonunion men. , ARBITRATION BY THE MAYOR (Continued from First Page.)

The bricklayers who are de tained from work in most cases by the strike of the hod carriers will be affected. If this order Is issued It will simply mean a sympathetic strike to facilitate the cause of the other building trades that are now cn strike." This statement was made yesterday by Hltk Stevenson, business agent for. the Building Trades council. Mr. 8tvenson and other leaders of these alllod organizations were In consultation yesterday over the Is sues at slake. President W. H. Moore of the Hod Car riers' union said regarding the relations "tween the contractors and the hod car- ltrs: "Two of the' contractors communicated to s verbally that they thought If we would agree to return to work they could satisfac torily adjust matters. But we are not going on what they think or what they say ver bally. We will not act until we have a defi ne understanding with the contractors. Whatever concessions are made must be In writing." Freight Handlers Rest. The freight handlers are not making any further effort to bring out their men. They have now between 150 and 200 out, which ncludes those that were at the Union Pa cific and the B. ft M. freight houses and a few of the commission houses in the whole sale districts. All of the men that were taken from the Union Pacific were non- unionists until they reached the freight handlers' headquarters Wednesday. "No freight to speak of is betdg moved. no nonunion men are being employed and there really Is no reason for us to call out any more men at present," said President Nest of the Loncshoremen and Freight Handlers' union; "consequently we are let ting things rest where they are," The teamsters and freight handlers met in Joint session Wednesday , night and decided to stand together as they have been doing In the present strike and keep things tied up. The teamsters up to noon .had not been served with the federal court Injunc tion which Judge Munger modified. They are engaging legal assistance and planning their course of action. Few were seen on the streets or anywhere else except In and around their headquarters at 114 North Fifteenth street. Things were quiet all over the city so far as strikers "Were con cerned. A few teams were moving 1c and out of the wholesale districts and no dis turbances whatever were apparent. The police force is still enlarged and is patroll ing the districts most frequented by the heavy teams. ! Transfer Companlea' Plana, 4 Both from transfer companies ' and the teamsters the report comes that no non union men are being brought into the city. A. member of the Johnson Brothers Trans fer company said: "We have some teams at work, but are not sending out of the city for nonunion drivers. We can get all of them we want here in Omaha. We have more applications thsn we can handle." The Expressman's Transfer company Is running seven teams, bat the Omaha Mer chants Express and other transfer com panies are not running . any, according to statements made by men In their offices. The transfer men said they knew of no concerted action planned and thought that whatever volume of buslnees .' was done would be resumed as conditions warranted and made possible. A rumor waa current yesterday that the teamsters' union contemplated tailing 'out all the drivers of Ice wagons In the city. Treasurer Wilcox and Secretary Sumner of the union said regarding this: "We con template nothing of the kind. All of the Ice companies save the Partridge company have signed our scale and we have no de sire or intention of calling out their driv ers. Tha Partridge company has nonunion drivers and Is serving nonunion patrons. The only teamsters added to the ranks of the strikers were seven or eight from the Haarmann Brothers Vinegar works and twelve or fifteen from Adams ft Kelly, sash, door, moulders ana blinds establishment The drivers from the latter Srm walked out and Joined the strikers voluntarily, while the former responded to orders from the union."

Not a stroke of work will be done on the subway tomorrow, as waa promised by the committee, and another handicap is enforced against the already crippled building forces of the city. . Immediately after the meeting tha police were called to suppress a demonstration at One Hundred and Eighteenth street and Second avenue. . . .

THE OMAHA STRIKERS TURN BACK TEAMS Effort to Deliver Goods PreoipiUtO Trouble on 8outh Main Street SEVERAL ARRESTS MADE BY THE POLICE Driver Charted with Carrying Con cealed Weapons and Several Mens bers of the Crowd Charared with Dlstarblnc the Trace. f h .nwt. f th .trikin. te.mi.tera in Council Bluffs to prevent nonunion men from hauling goods from Omaha to Coun cil Bluffs culminated yesterday noon on South Main street near First avenue and the arrest of a number of the strikers on the charge of disturbing the peace resulted. The trouble started when the striken at tempted to prevent A. D. Talbot, a driver for O rat tan A Co., from delivering a load of boxea consigned to the McDanlels hide house on South Main street. With Talbot was John Beldler, who was driving a wagon belonging to the Omaha Box company con taining a load of boxes and crates. The strikers attempted to stop Talbot and It Is I i. a - Th, .ti.ikia crowded around the wagon and prevented the horses moving. Officer . Lorensen hastened to the scene, when the strikers demanded that he arrest Talbot for carry ing concealed weapons. The officer mounted the wagon and ordered Talbot to drive to the police station, which he did amidst the Jeers of the crowd, which by this time had reached large proportions. The crowd of strikers and their sympa thizers then turned their attention to the wagon driven by Beldler, . which by this time had made its way to Main street. In front of the Kell hotel the crowd took the horses from the wagon and someone un screwed the burrs from the hind wheels. Officer Kirk succeeded in driving the crowd back for a few momenta and managed to place the horses back, but the moment the wagon started the hind wheels came off and the load of boxes was toppled over Into the street.

Ho stated that he would pre- serve order at any cost and that no rioting or interference with other men.. would be tolerated. It ten additional '.policemen prove Insufficient the mayor said, he would stlll further increase the force. It was reported that J. A. Raabe, business agent of the Trades and Labor assembly, was one of the Instigators of the trouble, but this Mr. Raabe stoutly and indignantly denied. He said that he and others had counseled the men to refrain from any overt acts and claimed that more than one of the strikers arrested were acting as peacemakers and not otherwise partlclpat- ng in the trouble. Mr. Raabe said that the better element of the strikers deplored the trouble on Main street. Talk of Injunction. Business men generally were aroused and there was talk yesterday afternoon of the courts being appealed to to enjoin the strtkers from interfering with the hauling of goods from Omaha to this city. The arrests following the trouble on Main street had the result of quieting the strikers dur- Ing the afternoon and no other act of vio- lence was reported, although one or more wagons were turned back and the drivers made to return to Omaha. The driver of an Omaha milling company, with a load of flour, telephoned, to ponce aeaaquarters that he had been atopped just east of the bridge by a crowa or singers ana ac- manded protection.

None ot the contractors attempted to lay brick and work of this nature is at a stand still. Contractor Wlckham had a force of men at work on the concrete foundations ot the Great Western roundhouse, but stopped all work on the freight house and the Fuller, Johnson ft Shugart warehouse. Contractor Weaver made an offer to the mason tenders to pay 20 cents and 22Vi cents, but at the meeting ot the union yesterday afternoon this compromise offer was refused. Weaver naa Deen paying 17 H and 20 cents, Tha union decided that the bosses must pay the scale ot 22 and 23 cents, as demanded. The bearing ot Robert Stack, president ot the Mason Tenders' union, and Mike Condon, charged with assulting men who were working on the Fuller, Johnson ft Shugart warehouse, was continued In po lice court yesterday ur.tll next Monday. Former Detective Tom Callaghan denlea that he was in any way assisting the strikers during the trouble on South Main street or that be Interfered with any of the policemen or deputy sheriffs. He states that he offered his services to the officers to assist in keeping order. Hla arrest, be alleges, was due to the ill feellog against him by eertaln members of the police force. He wss released on his own recognizance by order of Judge Scott and was not obliged to put up a cash bond, as tne otners who were arrested bad to do.
