THE; ISSUES OF
A Plain Statement from
Association
To resch a correct conclusion of the differences now
labor unions in Omaha and thlr employers, represented by tn p""ln, 7" "
elation, tha nrat thing necessary la to have correct knowledge of the matters n
Thla la not a controversy affecting rates of wsges, hour of labor or sanitary conai
Uona surrounding employes. .
THE ISSUES ARE: " JV
Flrst-Ths labor orgsnliatlnns Involved In the present controversy demand what
they call recognition" of their unlona. Tha business wen concede recognition in tna
sens that the laborers hav a right to form unlona, and, If they see ftt. to be repre
sented by these unions In negotiating with their employers. But such right Is not
what la meant by the term "recognition- aa used by. tha unlona. They nand aa a
part o "recognition" that the employer ahall enter Into a contract to hire nd -tain
In hie employment none but members of their unlona. This demand the em
ploy era reslat, contending that they have a right to employ whom they please, with
out diecrlminatlng In favor of or sgalnst union or nonunion labor Th employers
contend that this, right of election on their part la essential to thelf control of their
own business, and that the making of tha contract demanded would amount to a
conspiracy entered Into by the cmployere to deny tha nonunion workman ettner tne
right or the opportunity to earn a living by hla calling. . .. . . . .
Second The anions Insist upon tha right at auch times and for autjh reasons aa
they, ami they alone, ahall deem fit, to organlie and maintain systematic boycotts in
which thelr employers-must become partlea. participating with them. That la, that
the . employ aliall have mot only the right to aay that he wilt hot deal or tra.ls with
any person who I declared unfair, but that hla employer mut suspend all bdslness
relatloh with auch person, without havlag any voice In determining, tha justice of
the oomplotnt agalnat the boycotted party. Thla demand the .Business, Men i associs
tlofi resists, contending that every merchant, manufacturer or "other employer sha.l
hav the right to continue hla buaineaa relation with hla customers Without regard
to whether some union, of which he la not a member and In which he haa no vote.
ahaH decide that tha customer la deserving of soctsl xr buaineaa ostracism.,
ThirdThe labor unlona Involved In thla controversy insist , upon the right to In
stitute and. maintain what are known aa sympathetic atrikea. by and through which
all of (the employe of any employer, without having, any grievance of helf own, or
any complaint to make agalnat their. employer, may, at their will, under a decision
arrived at Without hla participation, bring all of hla buaineaa to a standstill because
thoa employed by aome other party, or even In aome other line of work, have Been
fit to withdraw from their. employment. This demand the Buaineaa Men'a association
resist, contending that, no employer ought to be subject to an arbitrary auspenalon
of hla business, that no quarrel or dlseatlafactlon existing betweer him and hla em
ployes, simply because there ia dissatisfaction In sums other Una of employment or
with some other employer.
These are the Issues Involved In tha preaent labor disturbance, and upon the Jus
tic of the poaltiona of the contending parties In these easential respect the public
la asked to decide. BUSINESS MEN'S ASSOCIATION.

. Gay) Makes Statement.
I V. Quye, chairman of the Central
Labor union arbitration committee, made
thla statement regarding the situation:
"The arbitration committee has made a
thorough Investigation and finds that the
Tlota,' as they have been termed, were not
instigated or - encouraged or - approved by
. tfle'neairiatere or any other union whose
mtn are on strike. It found no evidence in
criminating any strikers as the guilty par
ties, ' but found substantial svidenoa Indi
cating that moat of tha trouble grew out
of the" seal of sympathisers with the j
'unions. "It is seriously believed that In j
Some cases the evidence is sufficient to
warrant the theory that the employers ln
' spired the Violence to gain public sym
pathy'' and secure evidence on which to
bass thelrT demands for calling out the
militia. '-Th t committee further deter
rained tevtflrbw Us entire? rhrlueiie ag'eWiM

means at Its command to suppress violence
and bring to account every man guilty of
it," .
Teamsters Agralnst Violence.
Mr. Guya said further: "Th Teamsters'
union has taken a decisive stand agalnat
this Violence and warned all Its members
to refrain from it In every way. The union
will deal promptly and severely with any
of Ita members found guilty' of any depre
dations and atand responsible for the ac.
tlona of the men as an organisation, though
of course It 'cannot atand responsible for
what Individuals, as individuals, do agalnat
the expressed will and government of the
organisation."
Chief of Police Donahue, who Is on his
mos". vigilant guard for depredations, said
that some miscreants whose identity was
not then known had cut the telephone po
lice alarm and Western Union wires at
Twentieth and Cuming and at Twentieth
and Nicholas streets. The deeds were com
mitted at 6:80 and I yesterday morning,
he aald. The Impression prevails that this
was not the work of strikers, but of some
parties having grievances against th tele
phone company. The officials at the Ne
brarka Telephone company's offices knew
nothing of the facts, except that their
wires had been cut,

urged that th largest restaurant in the

and will return to work Monday against
tha union's protests. James A hi scow, man- I
ager of the Model laundry,' aald:
. "We will all start up Monday. W may
not start all our wagons until we are as-1

John A. Malmbergs saloon at 1513 Dodge
street was closed yesterday., by order of
Chief of Police Donahuo because, bar
tenders of the place had prevented garbage
being hauled from the' rear of the United
States reatauranT next door.; The res
taurant has been operating in defiance to
the Walters' onion. For several ' days a
quantity of garbage In the rear of th
eating house has been rending the air with
stench. Five different ' attempts on th
part of the McDonald Garbage company to
move the stuff failed, because each time a
bartender ran out from Malmberg's saloon
and threatened the garbage wagon driver
with arrest If he crowed the saloon prop
erty, which waa necessary to do. ' Each
time tho driver was Intimidated and turned
back.
The matter was brought to the attention
of Chief Donahue and he immediately
ordered th closing of the saloon and the
provision of an escort for the garbage
wagon. "I don't propose to stand any
such work as this," said the chief. "It
la necessary to public health that this
garbage b moved, and it will be moved."

NEW YORK, May 15,-The first stops
towsrds effecting a general organisation of
employers In the building trades to offer
united resistance lo the demands of labor
unions were -taken tonight at meetlnga held
in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
The Manhattan meeting waa held at the
Building Trades) ' club, TOO employers being
present.. Overflow, meetings were held in
the commute Booms of the club.
Warren M. Connover, chairman of the
board of governors of the Building Trades
association, praelded.
Decent Workmen Mast Rise.
The meeting w'as private, and at its close
the following statement, was given out as
ths sentiment of the; various speakers:
The complete paralysis of th buldlng In
dustry has been brought about by irres
portsiDle combinations acting through a
tyrannical -board of walking delegates, or
business agents, which demand prompt and
energetlo action by all good cltlsens who
have the welfare of our great city at hoarv.
It In time the .dectaf and order-loving
mechanic asserts himself and defies the
arbitrary demagogue who ties his hands
and drowns his voice. .1
The delegate ia a parasite on the body
politic to be exterminated.
It was pointed oak that hls Is not a ques
tion of wages or hours, but a question of
whether irresponsible bodies of men are to
be permitted to conduct the business of the
employer and In so dolnr make It Impos
sible for him to execute hi contracts and
discharge the responsibilities which he as-
timea.
The extremes tn whtah the unlona have
gone, and the maa'ner in which they have
treeiy broken contracts with their employ-
era have alienated from them the sympathy
or the ptiDiio.
The system calls for repressive measures,
he public now looks to the employers to
take the Initiative and td use every lawful
method to destroy the. Ooliatn whom lack
it opposition nas so emboiaenea tnai it
hrottles thla treat cltv without hesitation
and without compunction.
The speakers also called on police and
magistrates to perform their duties un
flinchingly. They pointed out the failure of
justice In the past to punish violence, the
damage to' property and 'the murders com
mitted In the name of labor which have
gone unpunished. They asked that political
ambition should not be permitted to per
Vert Justice. The district attorney waa
called on to use the machinery at his com'
mand and prosecute With all severity the
blackmailers which this pernicious system
has fostered and ihus io show to the men
how they are misrepresented and their con
fldence betrayed: "
By unanlomous vote the following com
mittee was appointed .to devise ways and
means In the future:
Charles T. Willis, contractor; Otto M.
Eldllts, contractor ahd" president of tho
Mason Builders' association; James tC

The Habit of Haste
AND THE SERIOUS RESULTS TO
TO WHICH IT OFTEN LEADS,
Hastily Swallowed Food and trreaa
lar Meals Are Sonrees of Mach
SnsTerlng la This Conntry.
One peculiarity of Americans upon which
visitors from other countries comment Is
the habit of haste. This extends even to
eating. Meals are eaten hurriedly and
Irregularly; food is swallowed half masti
cated and the stomach is unthinkingly ne
glected and abused to such an extent that
nine-tenths of our people are dyspeptics.
Tske the case of Mrs. Ida M. Turro, the
Wife of a prosperous farmer at Bralnerd,
Crow Wing county, Minn. 8he says:
"Irregular meals and too hurried eating
ruined my digestion and I was miserable
until, by the aid of Dr. Williams' Pink
PUIS for Pale People, I was cured, t was
in a very low state of health, food of any
sort distressed me terribly, gas formed In
my stomach arid It became sore and
bloated. Everything 1 ate seemed to turn
sour. I suffered so much when I ate that
had to almost starve jnyself. There was
pain In my heart, my bowels wsre con
stipated, I felt chilled all the time and my
neen fell away until I waa horribly thin.
Ths doctor gave me medicine, but It did
not help me, and I kept growing worse
until, at my mother's suggestion, I began
taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pals
People. Th)y made me feel better very
soon and I kept on taking thera till my
stomach stopped bloatlna-. the naln in mv
heart disappeared and I became perfectly
wen again. I have recommended Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills to a great many and
will always speak of them In the highest
terms of praise.'1
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure stomach
trouble by their tonlo action, building up
the digestive organs and enabling them to
do the work that nature Intended them to
ao. Artificial ferments and predigested
foods weaken the stomach In many cases.
Medicines should not do the stomach's
work, but should put it In condition to
perform Its natural functions. A diet
book giving useful Information will bo
sent free on request by the Dr. Williams
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

Engineers and foremen refused to take

CUSTOMS TO BIND EMPIRE TOGETHER
Minister - Ontllnes roller of Free
Trad lade Valea Jack with
Reciprocity aai Retaliation
with All Other Halloas.
LONDON, May 16. Addressing his con
stituents at Birmingham tonight, Mr.
Chamberlain seemed to foreshadow a pro
tection versus free trade fight next session.
For him, Mr. Chamberlain Said, local
questions were comparatively unimportant
beside the great Imperialistic policy upon
which the fate of the empire depended,
namely. "Whether we stand together, one
free nation sgalnst all the world, or
whether we shall fall Into separate states
selfishly seeking their own interests and
losing the advantages that unity alone cart
give." . y
' Pre' Trad Weakens Umpire.
If! a passing reference to Ireland, he de
dared that if separation began with home
rule tha. empire would diMmilve Into Ita
comppnent atoms. -
H-proceeded to strongly urge the neces
sity.-lit -order to preserve the empire, Of
securing trade with -the colonics. Canada,
he said, had offered great advantages which
Great Britain did not dare accept because
of ths narrow Interpretation of the doc
trine of free trade, which had led to the
belief tht Great Britain was so wedded to
Its fiscal, system that It could not defend
Its Colonies. This wss a position not in
tended by the pioneers of free trsde, who
If they were alive today would agree to a
treaty of preference And reciprocity with
the empire's children.
He believed an entirely wrong Interpreta
tion had been placed on the doctrine of
free trade, but that the country ought not
to be bound by this, and It should not hes-
Itats to resort to retaliation if necessary,
whenever the Interests" between the colo
nies and the home country were thrfiatend.
Most Bo Abl to Retaliate.
Mr. Chamberlain avowed himself a free
trWder. but he obieoted to the artificial and
natrow. interpretation pf free trade. He
pointed Out that Cob-den had made, and that
Bright hM approved, ft preferential treaty
with France, and .added:.
There are two alternatives before you.
First, to maintain the free trade Dolirv In
all ita severity, althduah It is repudiated
ny every otner nation ana your colonies.
Second, to insist that we be not bound by
anv uuralv . technical . definition of free
trade. While we rtcek tf.-e free Interr-hange
of commerce between ourselves and all
the nations of the world, we will neverthe
less recover our freedom, resume the power
of negotiating, and it necessary oi retalia
tion. - .
In conclusion be said he desired tho dis
cussion to be open.; It-was an Issue graver
In Hs consequences -than mere local - dis
putes. A mlstske in legislation could be
corrected, but a mistake in the Imperial
policy .) was Irretrievable. Personally, he
did not- think a general election near but
whether near - or-distant, the-Issue would
depend on whether the people hsd it In
their' hearts to do all that wag necessary
even If It occasionally went against their
prejudices, to consolidate an empire which
coul only be maintained by relations of
interest comoinea writ) relatione oi semi-
