THE ISSUES OF THE STRIKE
A Plain Statement from the Business Men's
Association
To reach correct conclusion of th difference now existing between several
tabor union In Omiht and their employer, represented hy the Business Men' asso
r'Atlnn, the first thing neceary la to have correct knowledge of the, matter in Iwut.
This la not a controversy affecting rate of wages, hours of labor or sanitary condi
tion aurroundlng employee. -
TUB ISSUES ARE:
First Th labor organlzatlona Involved In tho present controversy demand what
they call "recognition" of their union. Tho bualneaa men concede recognition In tho
sense that tho laborer have a right to form union, and, if they see flt to bo repre
sented by the union In negotiating with their employer. But auch right la not
what la meant by tha term "recognition" aa lined by the unlona. They demand aa a
part .of "recognition" that th employer shall -enter Into a contract to hire end-r-taln
In hla employment none but membera of their unlona. Thl demand the env
plnyer resist, contending that they hav a right to employ whom they please, with
out discriminating In favor of or agalnat union or nonunion labor. The employer
contend that thla right of election on their part 1 eentlal to their control of. their
own bualneaa, and that tho making of th contract demanded would amount to a
conspiracy entered into by th employer to deny the nonunion' workman either th
right or the opportunity to earn a living by hi calling.
Second Th union Inalat upon th right at such time and for auch reason a
they, and they alone, shall deem fit. to organise and malntatn systematic boycott In
which their employer must become parties, participating with them. That 1, that
th employ ahall hav not only the right to ay that he will not dual or trad with
any peraon who la declared unfair, but that hla employer must suspend all' bualneaa
relatione with auch person, without having any vote in determining th Justice of
tho complaint against the boycotted party. Thl demand the Business Men's associa
tion resists, contending that every merchant, .manufacturer or other employer shall
hav the right to continue his business relations with his customer without regard
to whether some union, of which ha 1 not a member and In which he ha no vote,
ahall decide that th customer Is deserving of social or business ostracism.
Third The labor union Involved tn thl controversy insist upon the right to In
stitute and maintain what are known a sympathetic strike, by and through which
all of th employes of any employer, without having any grievance of their own, or
any complaint to make against their' employer, may, at their will, tinder a decision
arrived at without his participation, bring all of his business to a standstill because
those employed by some other party, or even In some other line of work, have seen
fit to withdraw from their employment. This demand the Business Men's association
resists, contending that no employer ought to be subject to an arbitrary suspension
of hla business, that no quarrel or dissatisfaction existing between him and his em
ployes, simply becauso there 1 dissatisfaction In some other line of employment or
with some other employer.
These are th Issue Involved in th present labor disturbance, and upon the Jus
tice of tha position of th contending parties In theee essential respects the publlo
Is asked to decide. BUSINEBS MEN'S ASSOCIATION.

are without protection."
At Carpenters' It was said that their
driver, Flint, waa beaten, but was still able
to continue hla work. Th Hull people said

out on the street. They preferred to with
hold th name ' of their driver, both of
whom are nonunion men recently employed.
Job O.. YeUer's Position.
John. O. Yeiser, who ha been acting as
attorney for the Omaha Walters' union,
ha sent the following communication to
that body:
OMAHA, Neb. May 14, 1903. To the Ex
ecutive Committee Central Labor Union
and Omaha Walters' Union No, 23. Omaha
Oentlemen: It has Just been called to my
attention that a few persons, said to be
long to the Teamsters' union, have as
saulted a nonunion man driving a team on
i weniy-sevenih and marker streets, and
that a wagon was upset on Twenty-fourth
and Krskine streets. I know that your
unions do not authorise or approve of such
cenduct, and that possibly the secret or
ganization to destroy unionism may have
hired some men tarrying union cards to
thus become traitors to your union, but
these rumor demand Investigation.
Unless your executive committee Imme
diately adopts resolutions to Investigate
these and all similar rumors, and to imme
diately expel from auch union any member
who uses violence, I will be obliged to
withdraw from your services In th present
pending legal proceedings. .
I am compelled to send you thl notice
pot only for the protection of my own
honor and manhood, which I will not sae
riiice In this crisis, but for your protection
aa well. Your truly,
. .. .. JOHN O. YEISER.

advice of his attorney the sheriff decided
not to appoint- any more employe of the
business men as special deputies. Thl

From a Staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-(Speclal Tele

an important ruling upon the question of
sheep erasing" in forest reserves and under
hlrh the habitat of the sheep and non-

plication of Thomas Painter, Evanston,
Wyo.,"who wishes to 'grase sheep in th

sided lit . Wyoming and that the reserve
waa open only to stock of Utah residents.
Appeal from this ruling was presented to
the department by Painter "through Sen
ator Warren- and showing was made that
Painter --owned lands and sheep" and paid
taxes on them In Utah and had been ac
customed to' rang' his Sheep on lands In
eluded In the 'reserve before Its establish
ment aa such. The department now directs

cation and' In similar cases will consider

SAN FRANCISCO, May lt-Under a
balmy sky and on the green sward of
Union ' square ' President Roosevelt this
morning participated In the dedication
of th magnificent monument erected In
commemoration of the victory of th
American navy at Manila. The monu
ment consists of a high shaft of whit
California granite, surmounted by-a bronse
figur of Victory, holding In on out
stretched hand wreath and in another
a trident
Th president was escorted from the
hotel to the square by all of th marine
of the warship In the harbor. On th
tand from which he addressed th as
sembled multitude were the officers of the
warship In San Francisco bay and vicinity,
and the officers of the cruiser Grafton, th
flagship of th British Paclflo aquadron.
Chairman Jathe G. Phelan presented tne
monument to the city and It was accepted
by Mayor Schmlts on behalf of the munic
ipality. '
President Roosevelt said San Francisco
should glory In commemorating the navy's
victory at Manila, as it had opened th
Paclflo Ocean to American commerc na
more than any other event had con
tributed to give the United State a high
plae among th naval power. He dwelt
on the necessity of preparing ships, arma
ment and men for the navy. Naval bat
tles, he said, are fought In advance and
the Americans won at Manila because they
had made ready for th strike, Th ne
cessity of improving the navy was first
msda apparent in 1882 and all the warships
w now have were built since that time.
Since the last war the naval strength of
th United State has been rapidly increas
ing and under the' wise provisions of the
last congress ha particularly advanced.
He urged practical work at sea, partlcu
arly In marksmanship, saying: "Remem
ber that the shots that count In war are
the ones that hit."

AFTER BETTER CAR SERVICE
West Onsnh Improvement llnh Ha
Several Scheme I Pre
sent. At th meeting of th West Omaha Im
provement club last evening the subject of
additional and Improved street car service
to that section wa thoroughly dtacusa-.
Tha committee appointed by th club for
th purpose of conferring with th official
of th street railway company said that
they had been unable to meet with any of
the officials aa yet. After considerable dis
cussion It was deckled that th committee
should b Instructed to work for th ex
tension of ths Farnarn line to th Belt line
at Fortf-slxth street and for Increased
service to th north and west of Fortieth
street, either In the shape of a Una north
on Fortieth rr by an extension west from
Thirty-third street on California to Dunden.
There Was a decided opinion in favor of
the latter route and the vacation of Dodga
street by the car line In order that Dodge
might be macadamised through to the
country. The membera present seemed to
fear that an injunction would b brought
forth b? Dodge street resident to stop any
uch sctlon on the part of th street cm
company: But it wa thelf Me that Dodge
treet ahould be mad another Inlet to th
city for farmers and that It would provo of
Inestimable benefit to the farmer and th
city.
In connection with th extension on Far
narn It was argued that arrest many pas
sengers on. h Missouri pacific get off at
the station -there and com into Omaha
mor quickly by -walking to th Farnarn
line and then riding in. It wa also stated
that th Missouri Pacific had set 17.000 aside
everal year ago for th building of a sta
tion at West Side and tho extension of th
car line to the present station would facili
tate the building of the Station.
Th club also took up the matter of lights,
sewers and other local city Improvements.
The various committees making their re
ports and showing slight progress.
The club then adjourned to meet on Mav
28, when the committee on street railways
would have mor definite Information for
tne club.
