NEW YORK. May 1U Apprehension
that American manufacturers will copy the
new .Wens of British Industries and ma
chinery at the St. Louis exposition, and
then, by the aid of the tariff, undersell
them -in America, may prevent the British
Industrial exhibit at St. Louis from being
as liberal as expected, says Colonel Wat
son," secretary of the British commission
to the 'eft' Louis-exposition, who arrived
on Ivernla today. He said:
I cannot say much about our exhibit to
St. liuls, because of your hlnh tariff.
There" Is A disposition to hold back, and It
la not only so In my country, but In tier
many and France. Our art exhibit will
be exc-eirtlotmlly fine and the same thing
can be aald of our educational exhibit, but
our industrial and machinery show may
not be so excellent. We are afraid of your
tariff . You ace, we may ahnw some things
really good and It may- be copied. Now, u
this waa the case, the mmnftcturer on
the other side could not hrlnif his goods
In, owing to the tariff,- anl compete w.tn
the cpndltlons In your mrkot.
What Is needed Is the passage of some

ST. PAUL. May ll.-The situation on the
Great Northern la tonight regarded as ex
tremely critical. An ultimatum ha been
sent by the general committee declining th
concession offered by General Manager
Ward at a conference today and insisting
upon the original demands with regard to
"double headers." Neither slds will say
much regarding tha state of affairs, al
though Mr. Ward expressed himself as
hopeful that a strlk might yet ba averted.

MEAT CUTTERS WORK
(Continued from First rage.)
the union held a ..long and enthusiastic
meeting at which it wss resolved to stand
firm on the original ultimatum of Sunday
not to handle work from unfair houses:
Firmness, however, wss not monopolised
by the union, as the proprietors' association
determined to keep up Its end of the fight
and did not recede from the position taken
Sunday to close down "every laundry In
the city until the owners were allowed to
run their planta as they pleased.
The hotels and such restaurants as opened
hav made arrangements generally to do
their own laundry work. Some of the ho
tels have done this all along, while oth
ers are equipped and the only difficulty
they will encounter will be in securing la
bor. The personal linen of traveling men
and others at the hotels was not moved
and the. guest s were told that there was
no means of knowing when it would be
waahed In Omaha. Haberdasher and furn
ishing house men went over their stocks of
neglige shirts wltM : attached collars and
cuffs and prepared to order more should a
heavy demand set In, as Is probable If the
laundries remain long closed. So far as
could be learned yesterday no Omaha
washing was sent out of town;
Available Lanndry Facilities.
A laundry plant that seems to have been
overlooked somewhat is that operated at
the Convent of the Good Shepherd by the
Catholic sisters. Th plant Is quite a large
one and capable of extension. Several ho
tels have decided to send, their linen there
until the strike Is settled. President Ward
low declares that the Good Shepherd laun
dry will be placed on the unfair list, how
ever. If any work of unfair houses is per
formed there, notwithstanding the fact that
the Institution Is charitable In Its character.
Of course, he admits, there Is no way of
reaching the employes.
Tha proprietors of the Garrett laundry.
which Is a new concern of small capacity,
have agreed t6 accept' no unfair laundry. '
At the Henshaw hotel It was stated that
no trouble waa anticipated In having the
table and bed linen washed, as it would be
sent to the Good Shepherd laundry. The
Her Grand hotej. has a plant of Its own and
will not be inconvenienced by the lockout.
At the Merchanta all the equipment is
ready for doing the work, but employes had
not been secured yesterday. The Pacific
Hotel company, which operate all the eat
ing houses run in .connection with the
Union Paclflo railway stations, will not be
hit hard by the lockout, a th concern
formerly did It own-. washing. Several
months ago for reasons of economy a plan
of gathering up all the waahlng along the
line and having it done In Omaha was in
augurated, but It will be a simple matter to
put the old equipment In use again.
Promts of Relief.
No man in Omaha need wear' a dirty
shirt next week," was the announcement
made last night by President Wardlow of
the Laundry Workers' union. He declined
to say how the feat of cleansing Omaha's
colled linen with Only two steam and one
hand laundry in operation would be per
formed, but assured the reporters that ar
rangements had been very nearly com
pleted whereby It would be done, "It will
not b by this union,"' he said, "but further
than that I can say nothing. However, the
people may have' clean' linen next week
That much I am sure 'of.' No negotiations
have been held, between the laundrymen's
association and "the union toward reopening
the laundries. " '; . S.' .
' Restraining Ofder Is Signed.
At 2 o'clock Judges ' Dickinson and Dav
signed a restraining order directed against
the Walters' union, the White Cooks' union,
the Bartenders' union and .the Cooks'
Helpers union, their officers and the former
employes of the restaurants of the city
to t..e number of about 150, upon the ap
plication of the members of the .Restau
rant Men's association.
This order is in ' four paragraphs, th
first of which testralns th person men
tloned In the proceedings from posting or
keeping pickets within 100 feet from any
of the places of business of the complain
ant for the purpose of handing out cards
with threatening printed matter thereon
from threatening the patrons of the houses
or others with personal violence, or from
Illegally interfering With patrons or other
persons. - The second paragraph restrains
them from forcibly stopping, threatening
or Intimidating any teamster bringing bog
gage, or supplies to- any of the houses of
the complainants. The third paragraph
restrains them from assaulting, threaten
Ing or Intimidating any of the employes of
the houses. The fourth paragraph re
strains them from following the employes
to their home for the purpose of assault
Ing, Intimidating, attacking or Injuring any
of the employes, or from Issuing any or
ders in which any one Is advised or dl
rected to do any of these unlawful acts.
Jadges Act Slowly.
The restraining order was not secured
without some trouble. An order carefully
prepared was presented, which followed
the language of the complaint The Judges
all objected to signing that order, and one
Judge said that It contained matter which
no Judge could have signed before granting
a hearing. The order wnicn was issued
was amended to suit the Judges, after
conference with them lasting about two
hours. The attorney for the ' restaurant
men aald that so far as ta legal effect Is
concerned the order signed Is all that was
asked In the original, but that It has been
mude more- specific, in places, notably
Where 100 feet was specified In which cards
bearing Intimidating printed matter may
be handed out.
Except for this there wss no move made
In the restaurant end of th fight A mem
ber of the restaurant keepers press commit
tee said:
"The Merchanta' restaurant was supposed
to open this morning, but has not. I have
not learned why, but assume that the delay
Is to enable the proprietor to do a little
fixing up. It will open this week snd so
will th On Minute and Calumet. The
latter two agreed not to open until all
the smaller establishments had gotten un
der way. The whole trouble Is not with
the lack of help, but with the lack of
supplies. Ths restaurant men have wait

Two' members of the Restaurant Keepers'
association said yesterday that they did
not expect last night's conference with
Governor M'ckey "to amount to anything."
"The meeting Is only to confer, not to
arbitrate." each remarked, ."and as the
great sticking point la recognition of the
union, on which both sides are equally
determined, I don't see how anything can
b done Just now." - -
President Wsde of the Waltera" union
ild: "The restaurant men ar not opening
simply because they cannot. They have
posted notice In Chicago offering $100 per
month for cook, which I considerably
more than they paid our men, but are not
getting any. We have pickets at all em
ployment agencies there who see to It that
no strike breaker In our trade leave there
for Omaha. Beyond stationing pickets with
cards at the nonunion house we are doing
nothing here in Omaha because so long as
the restaurant men are Inactive there ta
nothing for us to do. At the .present rate
of expense, we can keep up thla fight
Indefinitely, as our benefits last week
amount to only a little more than 125.
Many of our member have home and a
little money laid up, so tney make no
demand on ths union."
Stationary Engineers May talt.
Th stationary engineers may b the next
department Of labor that quit work If th
general Industrial strike Is not brought to
a close soon. Th engineers have a strong
local organisation In No. 38 of the Inter
national Union of Stationary Engineers
and most of the engineer of this class In
Omaha belong to it. Saturday night a
meeting was held In Washington hall at
which It was decided not to accept coat
delivered by nonunion drivers. Later, how
ever, the resolution was reconsidered and
the action rescinded. As n alternative it
waa decided to write to the International

points In the present strike snd requesting
his advice how to proceed. Until his reply
I received the engineers will remain at

says that forty-six more of the Mound City
plebians arrived yesterday morning and that
forty of them immediately fell by
the wayside and Joined the strik
ers at Hotel de Crews. More are
looked for later In the day. W. S. Jardlne
ot the Omaha Merchants Transfer com
pany said Sunday that he would have In
three or four carloads more. The transfer
people are keeping the recruits they man
ege to get at their temporary hotel at
Fourteenth and 1eaven worth streets, and
the strikers are feeding theirs at "Blllle"
Huston's on North Sixteenth street and
sheltering them at the Salvation army and
other such hotels. Th teamsters' Inten
tion Is ta get them out of the city as soon
as possible. They supply them with trans
portation. Chief Donahue's order that none
can stay here unless they go to work
still holds good.
According to Treasurer Wilcox of the
Teamsters' union, out of a shipment of
forty-eight nonunion drivers from Minne
apolis only on reached Omaha last night.
and he was Immediately taken In charge by
tne strikers and piloted to a rooming house.
The other forty-seven men had learned the
character of the work they had been hired
to do and mutinied at Manila, la., leaving
the train and threatening to create a dis
turbance if transportation to Minneapolis
was pot supplied them.
Torn from Work Readily.
The teamsters seem to be havlna- very
little trouble In pursuadlng these persjns
to desert -the' transfer 'companies and turn
their heads in the opposite, direction' from
work. The result "was that Labor Temple
hand the teamsters' headquarters on Fif.
teentn sireei, near ioage, yesterday
were about tne busiest places In the city.
Throngs of men were there, striker and
these gentlemen who had Juvt blown up
from the south. Except for the' constant
argumentative performances, common on
such occasions and at such places, there
was little demonstration. Chief Donahue
up to noon had been able to land but two
of the Missouri wayfarers. Sunday he
got six, but they were released yeaterday
when the Teamsters union agreed to
send them out of the city. Most of tha
newcomers are whites, though there are
some colored ones. None of them ha to
be fought away from work.
The transfer companies were able yester
day to revive their business consider
ably. W. 8. Jardlne said his company put
out thirty-three or thirty-four teams and
others sent out more than usual. The Im
ported men who go to work are distributed
among the seven transfer companies. The
result was that yesterday the wholesale
and Jobbing districts presented the liveliest
appearance since the strike began and the
men went out Traffic was moving freely
and ' without Interference. Each wagor
was accompanied by a deputy sheriff, as
a rule, and the police were still, vigilant
on th streets. Th strikers persist la
saying they will not violate the law and
assault any nonunion man or Interfere with
the business ot their employers.
Sheriff Relieves t'alon Men.
In response to the complaints that hav
been made by the Business Men' associa
tion. Sheriff Power yesterday discharged
every special deputy who waa a union man
or recommended by the unions, and in the
great majority of cases they were suc
ceeded by nonunion men. Fifty wer re
moved and forty put In.
Sheriff Power stated that the removal
wer mad upon the recommendation of
Chief of Police Donahue, who told him that
unless the men were removed from the
force he would not be responsible for the
consequences. The sheriff said that com-
plaint had been made that some of th
Special uvpuura apifumivu ly yiviout uiv
business of the transfer companies had
taken advantage of their position tq argue
with the nonunion drivers and In some
cases had succeeded In getting them to
quit their Jobs and Join the forces of the
strikers. Yesterday all persons who
called to be appointed were asked If they
were members of any union, and an af
firmative answer barred them from ap
pointment, x
Many ot the discharged men took the
action In good part saying that they only
wer surprised to hav been appointed In
the first plac and they laid down their
stars with expressions of relief.'

'Th report has been current around
town that President Burt of the Union
Pacific was on of th originator of thla
Business Men's association," remarked
Euclid Martin, president of that organisa
tion, last night. "I want to correct that
Impression," he continued. "Mr. Burt
had nothing whatever . to do with the
origin or organisation of this association.
Is not a member of It, was never at one
of its meetings and bears no relation
whatever to it. If the report that he
helped to build the organisation was clr
culated with a view of prejudicing sentl
ment against him, an Injury ha been
done Mr. Burt. So far aa J know he was
not aware that the Business Men's asso
elation existed until sever) weeks afte
It was started. The only time h eve
spoke to me about It was on morning
when we wer coming down on th car
together; he mad some Joking remark."
