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

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."

SEVERAL ARRESTS MADE BY THE POLICE

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. The officer used hi. club d

morning. It la understood that Informa-
tlons were filed against a number of other
striking teamsters who were said to have
participated in the trouble and further ar-
rests are looked for this morning.
When the report of the trouble reached
Mayor Morgan he at once issued orders
for the enrollment of ten additional pa-
trolmen. 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. Chief Tibblts and 'a
detail of police at once hastened to the
scene, only to find that the driver bad be-

There waa no change yesterday In the
situation of the mason tenders strike.
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.

ot the Mason Tenders' union, and Mike
Condon, charged with assulting men who
were working on the Fuller, Johnson ft

strikers during the trouble on South Main
street or that be Interfered with any of the
policemen or deputy sheriffs. He states

New Army Rifle n Wonder.
The army board, which has been for
months past considering the raertts of the
new service rifle, has finally declared In
favor of a weapon with a barrel only
twenty-four inches In lengthusing a 0.30
ball.
The new gun is a remarkable weapon,
according to the ordnance officers, for while
it la four Inches shorter than the Krag
and only two Inches longer than the car
bine, it Is more powerful than either, with
a higher initial velocity and flatter tra
jectory. It can easily penetrate twenty
four one-Inch pine planks. It is a pound
lighter than the service rifle, which is
consideration in the tropics.
A new feature is a complete en?asem?nt
of the bsrrel in wood to prevent burning
the hands when the gun Is rapidly ills
charged. The weapon was evolved by
United State army officers snd Is not pat
