Th'i Hide and Leather association, one
of the members of the Team Owners' asso
ciation,' at a meeting today decided to
makn deliveries to all firms regardless of
whether they were Involved In the strike
or not. This concern handles all the mer
chandise of the greater part of the drug
stores and boot and shoo manufacturers
throughout the city and should the team
sters decide to call out the union drivers
employed by the association it would affect
650 men.
At a meeting of furniture manufacturers
held this afternoon It was decided that all
teamsters employed by the firms repre
sented would make deliveries or be dis
charged. Employers Offer Rewards.
'.The Employers' association, at a meeting
this afternoon at the Union League
club decided to offer a reward of
$60 for the arrest and conviction of any
person discovered Interfering In any way
with their employes who have taken the
places of the strikers. ' The general situa
tion of the strike was discussed at length
by the members and it was stated at the
conclusion that everyone was satisfied with
the progress that was being made toward
getting their business back on a normal
basis.
Traction Mea Will Not Strike.
International President Mahon of the
ftreet Railway Men's union today continued
his probing into the street car company
phase of the situation. He is not for a
trike.
"I don't deny," said Mahon, "that there

seems to be considerable sentiment among
tho rank and file for a strike, a sympathetic
walkout and the tying up of the union
traction lines. I have been through a lot
of strikes In the last twenty years, and
I do not want to see these men strike.
"if municipal ownership Is to be installed
here these employes would go in under
civil service regulations. What would it
avail them to strike now and lose the
chance for civil service? No, sir; the con
ductors, grlpmen and motormen cannot
Strike on a sympathetic Issue."
Mr. Mahon admitted, however, that If the
firemen and engineers go out and deliveries
of coal by nonunion teamsters continues
the leaders may not be able to hold the
street car employes' union In check. Ag
gravatlng the situation today there was a
general report that the Union Traction
company would make a positive refusal to
the proposition to renew agreements with
the union on the basis of a reduced
schedule of hours of employment.
As a result of the boycott placed on boy
cot ted department stores, more than 400
clerks are temporarily Idle.
"There is one feature of the police work
that I wish to pall special attention to,"
said Chief of Police O'Nell today. "That
Is that most of the trouble reported has
come from ths vicinity of wagons protected
by injunction of the United States court
We have not been asked to furnish police
protection for these, and we have not done
so. A few flying Squadrons and the order
to arrest the followers of such caravans
will do much to clear up that situation."
Mayor Purine this afternoon gave orders
that the 800 employes of the city water pipe
extension department shall hold themselves
In readiness to assist the police whenever
occasion requires.
Bank Under Ban.
Labor leaders and their followers were
considerably stirred up today over the
action of the Chicago banks represented in
the Clearing House association passing res
olutions urging sending the militia to Chi
cago and raising $50,000 to help the Chicago
Employers' association in its present fight
on the teamsters. Efforts, It is said, would
be made to find a "fair" bank In Chicago,
and if such is found it Is planned to have
the laboring men withdraw savings from
banks under the ban and aeposlt with the
bank not furnishing funds to fight the
strikers.
President Shea, of the Teamsters union
said today:
'If the plan Is adopted It is probable that
union men with about $23,000,000 In savings
deposits will be asked to take them out.1
The produce commission business In South
Water street has been so crippled on ac
count of the strike that many of tho mer
chants discussed the advisability of dosing
(heir doors tomorrow at 1 o'clock and de
clare a lockout until the strike was settled
An impromptu meeting was held, but the
majority voted not to take such a step.
George L. Linn, who called the meeting,
said: "Should this strike last much longer
we will all probably have to go out of
but.'ncss. Tho business men In the street
are losing between $75,000 and $100,000 daily.
Shippers have been to alarmed about the
strike that they have abandoned Chicago

Industrial activity is unabate1. The special
jobbing dry good sales attiacted a -large
attendance and results surpassed expecta
tions. Textile manufacturing is In a bet
ter position than at any recent date, the
strengtn or me raw material giving noui
tlonal firmness to finished fabrics. Foot
wear factories in New England are well
engaged and there la no reduction In the
force at work in the various departments
of the Iron and steel Industry. Aside from
the Chicago strike there Is exceptionally
little friction between capital und labor,
many higher wage scales going into effect
this week. Traffic returns ar well main
tained, railway earnings for April exceeding
last year's by 10.6 per cent, and lake navi
gation is heavy. Foreign commerce at this
port alone for the last week shows a gain
of $3,159,534 in value In merchandise over
the same time last year, while exoorts in
creased $1,768,488. Country prices are de
pressed by unprecedented production, but
consumption Is on a scale that precludes
the possibility of any excessive accumu
lation In the near future.
Duplicate orders for woolen goods are
appearing In moderate volume; textile fab
rics await returns from clothiers. The few
reports received thus fnr are satisfactory,
the firm position of raw material piecludlng
the possibility of price concessions. Hides
continue firm, but sales are smaller as the
leading buyers are supplied for current
needs. Dealers are declining bids slightly
below the market. Leather is quiet.
Failures this week in the United States
ore 212, against 24 last week. 204 the pre
ceding week and 207 the corresponding week
last year. Failures in Canada number 22,
against 15 last week, 21 the preceding ween
and 27 lust year.

BRADITRErS REVIEW OP TRADE
RSmeroni Lines of Business Are
Taklac a Breathing Spell.
NEW YORK, May 6. Bradatreefs tomor
row will say:
What might be termed a breathing spell
is being taken In numerous lines of trade
and industry pending the advent of settled
weather, clearer views of crop outlook and
the settlement of the Chicago strike. Heavy
rains or cool weather have retarded corn
and cotton crop preparations and retail
trade, but have rather favored winter
wheat, which fully holds the magnificent
promise of a month ago, while an increased
area Is certain In siting wheat, which
latter, however, needs more moisture. Iron

new business, and Increased ease is noted

large orders for railway bars guarantee
activity for the mills for months to come.
The building trsdes and allied lines, such
as lumber, hardware, paints and glass, are
apparently dnlpg the business of their
lives, unchecked and untouched by the
usual May day labor disturbances.

"The fearful work coffee has done for me
Is difficult to describe.
"I had no idea how weakened one can
become from the breaking down effect of
Coffee on the nerves.

found a nice place to board with a family.
The man of the house had Just returned
from a sojourn in California whither he
had gone for heart trouble, but the doctor
out there discovered his weak heart was

him Poatum. His trouble quickly dimin

found It so rich, and with a nice coffee

cation of diseases connected with the liver.
Well, my people tried it, but were disgusted
with It they didn't ake it right. They
said It was impossible for them to drink it,
and my daughter rebelled and cried for the
old kind of coffee. Wben I came home I
changed all that by making it right
allowing It to boll for tweny minutes after
It first cams to a boil, and served it with
cream. The child relished it at ones, and
benefited from the first, strength came to
her day by da and she began to develop
and was enabled to go to school much
more regularly.
"It was a year after I began to use
Postum before my husband would use It.
He preferred to carry a small bottle of
pepsin, and every time he drank coffee
would take a dose of pepsin to overcome
the sour stomach produced by the ceffee.
He held out for a year, but of course got
worse and finally got to feeling so badly
that he grew desperate and tried Postum.
After the third day he became' a convert
to Pcstum and the pepsin bottle went Into
ths ash barrel. This was 'two years ago,
and be still uses Postum and is entirely
free from tho old troubles." Name given

OMAHA MAN SPEAKS AT YALE
F. W. Breckenridge Delivers an Address on
Insurance Before Law School.
IN- fAVOR OF NATIONAL SUPERVISION
State Regulation Expensive, Often
Corrupt and . In n Good Many
Instances Proves to Be
Inefficient.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 6. (Special
Telegram.) W. Breckonrldge of Omaha de
livered an address today before the Yale
law school on "Insurance Law." He said
In part:
Fire Insurance serves as s basis of credit.
It Is, in fact, collateral. Commercial confi
dence and the credit system of the country
rest upon It as much as upon the financial
responsibility of men and mercantile cor-
ftorailons. The merchant who desires a
Ine of credit for purchases from a manu
facturer or wholesale dealer In a distant
city, Is required to assure his creditor that
the merchandise will be insured not only
while in transit, but after it has reached
Its destination. Bankers require their bor
rowers to carry tire insurance. Borrowers
upon the security of buildings are required
to agree In advance to keep the property
Insured for the benefit of the lender. Every
fire insurance contract written by a com
pany outside the state of Its creation in
volves interstate commercial Intercourse.
The business requires the transmission of
money from the insured to insurer and In
case of loss, from, Insurer to Insured; the
use of the malls, and much Interstate com
munication. The policy is signed by the
officials of the company at its home office:
it is countersigned by the local agent who
reports to the home office or the depart
ment manager of the company all the to
talis with regard to the risk and frequently
upon receipt of such report the Insurance
is ordered cancelled; the premium Is re
mitted by the local agent to the home of
fice or the department manager, and if
loss occurs adjustment is 'made by the
company's representative sent from the
home office or Its department headquarters.
Cost of Supervision,
Thus It appears that Insurance in one
form or another Is interwoven with the
fabric of our commercial and social life;
und while the supervision of any business
of a private character would be san im
pertinence, the people who carry insurance
have a right to the protection given through
that publicity which can only be had by
the Inquisitorial investigations of the gov
ernment; and a system of state supervi
sion has therefore grown up. The original
purpose of supervision was to expose the
weakness and fraud of irresponsible com
panies, but latterly the great accumula
tion by the companies, of money in sight,
has proven too strong a temptation for the
states, to resist. Accordingly whenever the
ned for funds has presented Itself, as it
almost constantly has, an onslaught has
been made by the stats legislatures upon
the money held in trust for the people by
the insurance companies, until now the
states receive from the companies doing
business In the United States, under vary
ing forms of exactions, a sum that has
never been definitely calculated, but which
is estimated at from 20,0u0,0u0 to $U5,000.0tX)
annually. From tables complied upon re
ports furnished by twenty-eight states, it
appears that those states received from
Insurance companies during the fiscal year
1801 over JB.000,000 more than the supervi
sion of those companies cost them; and
this sum does not include what they re
ceived in taxes.

FIRE RECORD,
Barn and Horses Destroyed.
SIOUX CITY. Ia., May 5.-(8pec!a! Tele
gram.) The burning of a barn and five
horaes at an early hour this morning neav
Homer, Neb., by a firebug, brought a call
for bloodhounds to Sioux City. William
Wallway was awakened this morning by
the crackling of flames. Before the blaze
could be subdued it destroyed the barn and
two haystacks. The loss la estimated at
$2,000. Tracks of a lone man were found
leading from the scene.
Favors National Supervision.
But this Is not all. It is within the ex-
ferlence cf nearly all companies, fire and
ife, that they have served as bankers for
dishonest, petty officials connected with.,
many state Insurance departments, who
have boldly levied blackmail. This-is a
scandal that no self-respecting people can
alio to continue.
Ths history ot state supervision shows
Its inadequacy to cope with the evils that
brought It forth. "Solvency with publicity'
are the objects of supervision," said Audi
tor Hart ot lndlaha. The national conven
tion of insurance commissioners to whom
he made that declaration (Columbus, ltmSi
reported a list of eighty-six Irresponsible
and unauthorized or "wildcat" companies
whose fraudulent operations the several
State Insurance departments could not curb.
These concerns reap their harvests among
the rural communities of the several states
and find a market for worthless Insurance
because it is cheap. The same convention
adopted a resolution favoring congressional
action forbidding the use of the mails to
any Insurance company not authorised In
the state of Its domicile, and also memorial
ised congress urging such legislation, simi
lar action was taken at the Baltimore
meeting of state Insurance commissioners
In October. l'"3. It takes the long, strong
arm of federal law to reach and properly
punish such rascality. Federal laws are
more rigidly enforced than state laws.
