Ouye's declsratlon that 'the Business Men's association has been aggressive from the prst and must accept the responsibility for the prolongation of the struggle, which now seems tar front an end,' the press committee of tha Business Men's association calls attention to the fact that all ot tha strikes, both for alleged . grievances and those cktled In sympathy, were Inaugurated and have been carried on by various organisations of union Isbor and the responsibility of longer continuing them must be borne by such unions.

It was, tnereiore, not an arbitrary action on tha part of tha Business Men's association to refuse further conference until the unions had changed their attitude toward thi questions, as conference committees could not make headway In negotiations until they had been settled, and should not con sume their time In repeatedly discussing tha questions on which both parties to the controversy had already stated finally their positions.

STRONG REVIVAL OF ANNEXATION TALK Several of Big Staeka at Cadahy Plant Blown Dowa hy Wind and Soma Damaged. There seem to be a disposition on the part of a number of voters to favor th high school bonds and th overlap bonds, and to vote against th ewer extension and the city hall bonds. Some of course favor the entire Issu, while other ar out at work fighting th entire proposi tion. It Is predicted by many Interested persons that If any portion of the Issues carry It will be for a new high school building. The school district has owned the sit for a couple of years and as more room Is badly needed those interested In the schools would like to see the money voted. These school bonds call for 6 per cent and run twenty years straight there for they ar considered by Investors the most desirable tn the entire lot to be voted on. Some of those who favor th entire Issue say that South Omaha may a well get some Improvement now a annexation is sure to com within a short time. "Let the people of Omaha help pay some of our debt" 1 a remark frequently heard on th street these days when voters ar talk ing about the bond proposition. Interest In the bond question appears to be Increas ing and before the time election arrive It I thought that meetings for and against th bonds will be held. Naturally th city officials would like to see the overlap bonds carry as a lot of old debts could be wiped out and charged off the book. There will most likely be some mighty lively voting on June 23. More Annexation Talk. Every day those who favor annexation are coming to the front. There Is more talk In favor of the proposition now than ever In the past Business men who here tofore bitterly opposed every suggestion regarding an amalgamation of .the two Omahas now com out openly and favor the plan. There Is some talk of calling a meeting to discuss the question and en deavor to decide what ia best fo be done. In Its Issue today the Weekly Independent, voicing the sentiments of th laboring men, will aay on this topic: We are no prophet nor the son of one. yet we venture the prediction that there will never be another election of city offi cers held In South Omaha. The annexa tion movement has gained new strength owing to the manner in which a few Sun day school people are now running the city. Vnlena some steps are taken to test the law In the courts that gave this city a fire and ponce commission, you can look out for a good, healthy annexation sentiment to aeveiop. inis is no joke, eitner. Revision of Registration. Tha mayor and council have decided upon June 20 as the day for a revision of regis tration.
