Conference with Major.
C. P. Shea-, president of the International
Teamsters' union; Charles Dold
of the Chicago Federation of Labor, und a
number of other labor leaders held a con
ference with Mayor Dunne today. The
labor officials svas asked not to spread the,
strike, but to aid In putting down dis
order. They replied that they would not
spread tlus strike, but thut they might be
powerless to prevent its spread. They also
criticised the police depurtment for alleged
aiding of nonunion men.
Mayor Dunne reiterated his previous
statement to the effect that If rioting con
tinued and strike spreads he would be
compelled to call In state troops. Mayor
Dunne served notice on the strike leaders
that a spread of the strike would prob
ably mean the calling out of the militia.
Mayor Dunne spoke of the possibilities
of the police being unable to preserve peaco

strike occurred, accompanied as It probably
would be by a renr'.val of violence

DENVER. May 16 In a bulletin Issued
today which Is addressed "To all Live

Block association makes the following an
nouncements: The National association has already
commenced work In the direction of needed
amendments to the lnterntate commerce
law, providing for Just and reasonable rail
way rates and service, by representations
made before the Interstate commerce com
mittee of the senate In February and May
and arguments individually with a ma
jority of the senators of the United States.
About February, the representative of
this association secured through Senator
Proctor of Vermont, the passage of a
resolution of Inquiry directed to the secre
tary of war, uklng for the amount and
cost of supplying our army in the Philip
pines with meat, and why the same was
obtained from foreign sources Instead of
from the United States. This action Is to
be followed by the Introduction of a Joint
resolution t the coming session or con
(tress requesting that the American army
shall be supplied with American meats, as
has always been the policy of this country
heretofore, and which In the Phillmlnes
has amounted approximately to tu.ouO.OOO
pounds annually.

This association has started an agita
tion In favor of broader and greater ex

Mrs. Pinkbam'a Advice Saver, Many
From tills Bad and Costly Experience.
It is a sad but
true fact that
every year
brings an in
crease . In the
number of opera
tions performed
upon women in
our hospitals.
More thanthree
fourths of the
patients lying
on those snow
White .beds are women and (rirls who
are awaiting- or recovering- from opera
tions made necessary by neglect.
K'ery one of these patients had
plenty of warnings that bearing1 down
feeling-, pain at the left or right of the
womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the
small of , the back, leucorrhcea, dizzi
ness, flatulency, displacements of the
womb or irregularities. All of these
symptoms are indications of an un-'
healthy condition of the ovaries or
womb, and if not heeded the trouble
will make headway until the penalty
has to be paid by a dangerous opera
tton, and a lifetime of impaired useful
ness at best, while in many cases the
results are fatal.
The following letter should bring
hope to suffering women. Miss Luella
Adams, of the Colonnade Hotel, Seattle,
Wash., writes: (
Dear Mrs. Plnkham:
" About two years ago I was a great suf
ferer from a sever female trouble, paiiis and
headaches. Thsdoctor prescribed for me and.
Anally told tns that I had a tumor on the
womb and must undergo an operation if I
wanted to get well. I felt that this was my
death warrant, but I spent hundreds of dol
Lars for medical help, but the tumor kept
growing. Fortunately I corresponded, with
an aunt in the fie England Rtatea, and she
advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound, as it was said to cure tu
mor. I did so and immediately began to
Improve in health, and 1 was entirely cured,
th tumor disappearing entirely, without an
operation. I wMb every suffering woman
would try this great preparation."

her letter, Just so surely will Lydia E.

Senator Kean.
"Not control, but the Armours ship their
products in these cars."
Mr. Robblns admitted that on roads
where they had exclusive contracts, like the
Pere Marquette line, the roads could not
engage In the shipment of the products cov
ered In the contract in other cars. Those
who complained on tBIs matter, he added,
were mostly receivers and commission men
and not the producers and shippers.
Senator Foraker examined Mr. Robblns
as to the cost of Icing a car from Michigan
to Boston and the latter figured that it
would cost JS0 per car.
"Isn't It a matter of fact," asked the
senator, "that ice costs only about $2S a
car?"
Mr. Robblns would not admit that this
was true The Pere Marquette line, he sug
gested, had reduced rates from 15 to $2.60
per car and the Armour line had made a
like reduction.
Senator Dolllver asked Mr. Robblns re
garding the business of the Armour car
lines and its earnings. Mr. Robblns In
sisted that the company Is a private one
and ought not to be compelled to expose
its books or earnings any more than any
other private company.
"Unless we should consider that you are
a public carrier the same as a railroad
company," remarked Senator Dolllver.
Wide Extent of Monopoly.
Mr. Robblns denied that the Armours
were Interested In any of the fruit com
panies in California or that the Armours
had a monopoly of the transportation of
California fruits, acknowledging, however.
that his company had a monopoly of the
fruit transportation In the Pere Marquette
region and In Georgia and Florida. The
Armours, he admitted, had exclusive con-
racts with all the south Atlantic coast
states railways, exclusive contracts In east
Tennessee and on cetraln roads in Missouri
and Arkansas and on the South Pacific
road. The Santa Fe was a competing line
In the fruit business in California fruit,
producers and shippers on these exclusive
lines had to accept the rates of the
Armour company, but Mr. Robblns said
they satisfied 80 per cent of the shippers.
Senator Clapp asked a number of ques
tions as to the position of Mr. Robblns In
acknowledging an absolute monopoly and
yet withholding Information as to their
business and claiming Immunity from the
Interstate Commerce commission laws. Mr,
Robblns maintained that his position was
justified.
Grain from the Northwest.
C. V. Robinson, representing the New
Orleans Hoard of Trade and the Central
Yellow Pine Lumber association, testified
that eastern trunk roads should be re
strained from diverting grain of the north
west from Its natural outlet at New Or
leans. He advocated enlarged nowers few

Murray Curleton of St. Louis, represent

The Pittsburg orchestra, one of the best
organlxatlons In the country, with Emll
Paur. conductor, and Madame Johanna
Qadskl, soloist, gnve two programs at the
Auditorium yesterday, an afternoon and
an evening performance.
The weather may have accounted In a
measure for the slender attendance at the
matinee. Certainly the bouse should have
been crowded for such a splendid attrac
tion. Orchestral concerts In Omaha are
rare. It Is too bad when yiey do occur
not to give them liberal support. Mr.
Paur, though disappointed at the lack of
numbers, kept his good humor entirely
and 'pursued his artistic way as If thou
sands were listening
The program opened with the Tannhauser
overture, which the orchestra gave with
fine effect, and all the wonderful spectrum
of tone color, which we have learned to as
sociate with the best erchestral perform
ance. '
Mr. Paur was the soloist of the afternoon;
his first number was the No. 1 E flat major
concerto of I.lsit, a fantastic piece of
writing, ending with a tremendous bravura
climax, which Mr. Paur took at a tempo
which earthed his audience to a fine pitch
of enthusiasm. He was obliged to re
spond, but Instead of playing again him
self, the orchestra gave the Hungarian
Rakazy march with telling brilliancy.
Mr. Taur has all . the equipment of a
great pianist; his, technique Is entirely
adequate; he add to the merely me
chanical side fif his art, a sympathetic tem
perament and a beautiful singing tone
also his personality Is gracious. It Is re
markable that a man should make a great
reputation tn two such arduous line of
work. His second group of numbers was
of the romantic period and Included
Chopin's C sharp minor Nocturne and the
E minor waltie (substituted for the Pol
onaise). In this group Mr. Paur proved
his capacity as an interpreter of Chopin.
Those In the audience who heard Paderew-
skl must have found a comparison of In
terest. An encore was Insistently de
manded and Mr. Paur responded with
Schumann's Spring Song, given In a way
that was altogether charming and satisfy
ing. 1
Of the orchestral numbers the "Walku-
renrltt was the most effective, It was
magnificently played and brought out the
full power and exquisite beauty of the
band. Mr. Paur conducts In a quiet, grace
ful manner, but with full authority. The
orchestra well deserves the reputation It
has earned of being on an equality with
the best In the world.
The attendance for the evening perform
ance was much better, the house being
fairly well filled. The people were full of
enthusiasm and appreciation, which Mr.
Paur seemed to feel. The program opened
with the Ignore overture, No. 8, by Bee
thoven, played with marvelous purity of
tone and simplicity.
Madame Oadskl has a most gracious and
winning personality. Her voice is dra
matic In the extreme, her loud tones be
ing rich and rnellowi which Isn't usual In
soprano. Her first number was Ientas"
ballad from "The Flying Dutchman," de
scribing Lenta's emotions as she sees the
phantom ship approaching, and tells the
story of the wandering sailor and then of
fers herself as a sacrifice to save her
lover. The music Is weird and full of
haunting melody. It Is peculiarly suited
to Oadskl's type of voice. She did It ex
quisitely. Enthusiastic applause brought
her out several times. She finally re
sponded with the wild cry of the Walkure.
Her group of ..songs. 'showed to a marked
degree her versatility and delicacy of per
ception; the flrstl So'ng of Massenet being
of the French rtchoot fchd done with won
derful lightness, finish and purity of dic
tion. "The Well Spring Song" was par
ticularly noticeable for the spontaneity of
Madame Oadskl's Interpretation. It Is a
song much abused, and It was a keen de
light to hear It sung so beautifully, but
It was In "The Erl King" that the great
soprano entirely captivated her audience.
Her changes of tone color In the dialogue
was marvelous and her whole Interpreta
tion dramatic to a degree. At the end,
where the father finds the child dead In
his arms, a veritable pall seems to settle
on the audience. This effect was somewhat
lightened by the charming encore, "I Sing
My Love to the Rose. '
Madame Oadskl's final number Was the
Infiammatus, from Rossini's "Stabat Ma
ter," sung with the Omaha Festival chorus.
In which she electrified her listeners.
The work of the chorus during the even
ing was conscientious at times the basses
were rather prone to leave the key. Mr.
Stanly deserves credit for his enthusiasm
and faithfulness.
Too much cannot be said In praise of the
orchestra. It shows what can be done by a
permanent organisation. There is a feeling
of security and poise, the men are so ab
solutely together; the conductor play upon
them, bringing out the lights and shades,
as though they were one vast Instrument,
with Infinite possibilities. The finest or
chestral numbers were the Symphony No.
6 of Tschalkowsky (called the Pathetique).
The first movement is full of the sadness
and combat of life, with hope rising at the
end. In the second movement this hope Is
seemingly fulfilled. The third movement
ends In a great climax In which the or
chestra rose to a fine height of artistic ex
ecution.
As an encore they played Mendelssohn's
"Wedding March."
The "Traumeri" was like a breath, so
fragile and etherlal, and the Serenade of
Moszkewskl, with Us swinging rhythm,
pleased the audience vastly.
Th preludes to acts one and three of
"Lohengrin" formed the closing orchestral
group. The first, with its heavenly har
monics, reminiscent of the grail, forming
a marked contrast to the Joyous wedding
music.
Mr. Paur Is one of the few great leaders.
The Pittsburg orchestra under his leader
ship has attained a ..unique artistic posi
tion. M. p. L.

ATLANTA. Ga., May lfi.-More than Sim
members of the National Association of
Manufacturers assembled at the opening of
the tenth annual meeting of the associa
tion. Representatives from almost every
section of the country were present. The
Importance of the, gathering was Indicated
by the fact that the membership represents
a largo majority of the J13,mi,0ii0.000 of In
vested capital of the t'nited States and by
the additional fact that among the ques
tions to be discussed by the three-day ses
sions are Interstate commerce and reciproc
ity. Thut strongly divers views on the for
mer subject are entertained was manifested
In the discussion of the afternoon, when
opposition to the government of transporta
tion rates was sounded.
The address of President Parry was
taken up largely with the consideration of
the labor question, interstate commerce
legislation, reciprocity and what he de
clared to b? 1 strong tendency toward so
cialism. In the, first portion of his remarks
he made an nppe-il for' the maintenance of
Individual and property rights as laid down
by the constitution of the country. lie
took the ground that the functions of the
government should be limited strictly to
certain specific public ends, and that what
evils have developed as a result of con
centration of capital In industrial enter
prises should be corrected through applica
tion of tho police power of the govern
ment and not by resort to socialistic inno
vations. He said:
The agitation for tho supplying of pri
vate control over lapltal appears to dis
close two distinct methods tor the accom
plishments of Its objects, tine is that of
confiscation the passage of legislative en
actment and the adoption of other means
to reduce profits and to limit private man
agement of capital. The other is that of
acquiring government control through pur
chase from the present individual owners.
That form of socialistic endeavor which
seeks government control by purchase Is
at present limited to the acquirement of
public utilities. Attempts in tho lino of
municipal ownership have for the most
part resulted unfavorably to the claims
made by Its advocates. The government
cannot manage capitalistic enterprises as
economically or as efficiently as private
owners. A large increase in the number of
its employes Is certain to threitcn the
domination of otir democratic governnvnt
by an office-holding class, and the corrup
tion of politics under private ownership of
corporations would be as nothing compared
to the corruption that would most likely
exist und'T government ownership.
While the enlargement of the scope and
power of government by the purchase and
management of certain enterprises has
found considerable sunrort among the peo
ple, yet I believe the sentiment favorable
to socialistic measures Involving the cin
flscatlon of profits and the limitation of
private management of raiiltal Is the more
widespread and dangerous. Without mak
ing special rrfprenco to the aim of the
avowed socialist, we have organized labor
and Its sympathizers supporting the Hen
that organizations of men may dictate to
a Urge extent the management of enter
prises which thev do not own, determining
the rate of wages and fixing the hours of
employment. Another Illustration of this
kind of socialistic sentiment Is manifested
In the present agitation to have the gov
ernment fix railroad rates.
Labor Sltnatlon.
Mr. Parry favored the nonpartisan or
ganization of the substantial and law-abiding
citizenship In order that they may ex
ercise their proper influence in public af
fairs and counteract the work of tho so
cialist and demagogue.
Taking up tho labor situation, Mr. Parry
aid:
Organized labor was less strenuous In the
past year in Its socialistic endeavors
than In the several years preceding
There were a number of notable strikes,
and smaller strikes were numerous, but
they were almost uniformly failures from
the union standpoint. The open shop was
the outcome of most of these struggles. At
a low estimate fully l.COu concerns employ
ing labor changed from the closed to the
open shop.
The efforts of organized labor to secure
the passage of laws, abridging Individual
freedom of action met with complete
failure at th.i national capital during the
recent session of congress, as also did a
number of attempts to secure laws of a
socialistic character from various legis
latures. This was due to the aroused
activity of manufacturers and employers
In these states.
With strike less numerous, the law
better obeyed and enforced, and the power
of labor lobbies considerably checked, the
value of this association's activity on the
labor question is emphatically aemon
strated. The policy taken by the associ
ation in demanding a full recognition from
organized labor of the individualistic
principles of our government Is the only
policy which will establish and maintain
Industrial peace. Peace Is utterly Impossi
ble so long as It Is attempted to make the
rights of employers and employe the sub
ject of dickering and trials of strength.
Oppose Eich-Tonnirnd BUI,
In discussing the pending interstate com
merce legislation, Mr. Parry applied the
principles of Individualism and competition,
as he did all through hi speech. He de
clared that the question of rebates did not
properly enter into the discussion of the
Esch-Townsend bill, as the leaders in th
movement in its behalf themselves declare
that the present law ure fully adequate
to meet that evil. The Issue raised by the
proposed bill, he said, 1b whether the gov
ernment through a commission shall estab
lish inelastic legul rate to take the place
of the rates now fixed by competition. He
quoted a recent interview of Representative
Stevens of Minnesota, one of the members
of the house committee on interstate com
merce, going to show, he said, that tho
substitution tf a system of inelastic rates
for the rates determined by competition
would result in great Injury to industry
in many section of the country. He said
that the commission or any political body
that might be created would yield to the
most clamorous demand, and that, as a
result, the rate between different locali
ties would be more inequitable than the
rate now fixed by competition between
these localities. In maintaining that
competitive condition are still potent in
regulating rates, he said:
be reached bv the socialistic method of
fixing rates.
As to the tariff nud reciprocity Mr. Parry
said:
To my mind there sr some features In
the present tariff situation thnt opens the
serious question of the wisdom of the
"stand pet" policy. The foreign demand
for our nvrlrnlitirul np,i,ltict HftncMrs to
be declining, and the exportation of manu
factured commodities Is not nearly so
rreat as It should be. How in the face
of unfavorable foreign tnrlrT we can ma
terially develop the market abroad Is diffi
cult to see. unless through tho adoption of
the more liberal tariff policy on our own
part we "ecure compensating concessions
In the tariff schedule of those countries
whose markets we seek.
Reciprocity would be a wiser course than
tariff revision. I do not think the situation
calls for radical treatment, but rather for
the adoption of a conservative policy,
looking more to the opening tip than to
the "bottling up" of our commerce.
Afternoon Session.
The afternoon session was devoted to an
address by Daniel Davenport of Rrldgeporl,
Conn., on the subject of the necessity of
organization, national and local, by the
manufacturers and the people. Following
his address came the announcement of
committees on resolutions, nominations,
rules and order and credentials. The presen
tation and discussion of the report of the
committee on Interstate commerce closed
the business of the day. An elaborate re
ception ws.8 tendered the) visitors at the
Capital City club this evening.
The selection of the next place of meeting
seems to lie between San Francisco and
New York. It is said that an effort will be
made to carry the 1M6 convention to the
latter city and make It the permanent meet
ing place of the association.

FREMONT. Neb., May 16.-(Speeinl.)-An
net of the last legislature for tho estab
lishment of protection districts In sections
liable to overflow from rivers is likely to
be first put Into effect In this county. The
bill, which was prepared under the direc
tion of tho Commercial club provides for
the formation of districts j-i hlch may In
clude any portion of a city or village or
land In townships not platted, all of which
Is liable to be flooded by the rise of a
river, and the protection of such districts
by a dyke or levee. The cost of the con
struction to "-To obtained by a spoclal as
sessment on the lands and lots benefited.
It Is proposed to organize a district to In
clude part of tho city south of the
Union Pacific tracks and the country be
tween the city and the Platte river, and
put in a strong levee across where the
river broke out Sunday night. The Platte
is now within Its banks, but there Is still
considerable water standing on low places.
Where the water first came out west of
the city the banks are badly washed away
and another heavy rise would repeat the
damage Sunday night. Tho soil at this
point Is sandy.
HARVARD. Neb.. May 16. (Special.)
Since the heavy rain of Saturday, amount
ing to Inches of water, weather has been
changeable without rain and sufficiently
warm to start corn and prevent the rotting,
unless where standing for some time undef
water. The ttorm has generally delayed
corn planting for one week or more, which
will plnce the crop several days behind
that of Inst year.
WEST POINT, Neb., May 16.-(SpeclaI.)
The continued wet weather of the past
five days has effectually stopped all farm
work In this section. The weather Is very
cool with high, raw winds prevailing. The
Elkhorn river Is still gradually rising, and
Is slowly flooding the bottom lands both
north and south of tho city. No Incon
venience has yet been felt In the residence
districts of the city. In the bottoms, on ac
count of the high water, but large areas
of ground are submerged. The mill-dam
In the Elkhorn river Is still Intact, al
though the danger of Its giving way is
great.

VERMILION, S. D., May 16. (Special.)
Sunday was a red letter day for the
Juniors of the State university, who have
Instituted a move to raise funds for the
erection of a Young Men's and Young
Women's Christian association building on
the campus. At a mass meeting of the
two societies, Mr. Parsons of Minneapolis
was present and addressed the student.
A large number of students were present,
and at the close of the address volunteer
contributions In the sum of $1,300 were made
towards the building. All.told the students
alone have subscribed 11.800. There now
seems little doubt but that enough money
will be forthcoming to erect the structure.
The attempt Is made to make It appear
that the railroad rules are so high that
the shippers and the geuuial public can no
lunger siund the extortion, but must have
relief from congress. Now, the simple In
controvertible lact is that the railroad
rales in this country are far cheaper limn
anywhere else in the wurld. Tlieso rates
in general are one-third lower man those
of Great Britain and France, and one-haif
lower than those of Oermany, where the
railroads are owned and operated by the
government. An examination of rate in
the past also show there has been an
almost coni.nuous tendency downward. In
1870 the rate were three time what they
are now.
As under the continued working of free
competitive conditions rates may be ex
pected gradually to decline, it remains for
the advocates of the inelastic socialistic
rates to show why any change from com
petitive condition I desirable, and whether
socialistic rulemaking would insure lower
rates In the future. The complaints coming
from shippers against the railroads are
almost wholly complaints of discrimination
In favor of other shippers. What the ship
pers want in this country is Impartial
treatment rather than arbitrary reduction
of rates. The principle of Impartial treat
ment of the public must be enforced. It
might be wise when It is found thut a
secret lower rate or rebate has been
granted to any shipper that such rate be
made the open rate for, say, one year, as
though the rate were purl of the pub
lished classification.
Unjust discriminations between localities
and kinds of trafflo ought to be suscepti
ble to correction through the ap;.llctlon
of the police powers of the government,
th same a unjust discriminations be
tween Individuals. There Is no valid rea
son for asserting that one kind of dis
crimination can be corrected by punitive
legislation, and that another kind tn yulyj

Awful Suffering of Little Boy
from an Itching Humour
CURED BYCUTICURA
Not One Square Inch of Skin on
His Whole Body Unaffected
My little son, a boy of five, broko
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we couM not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At tho
time I was induced to try Cuticura
he was so bad that I had to cut his .
hair off and put the Cuticura Oint
ment on him on bandages, as it wa
impossible to touch him with the bnre
hnnd. There was not one square inclt
of skin on his whole body that was
notaffected. He was one mass of sores.
The bandnpes used tostick to his skirt
and in removing them it used to take
the skin off with them, and the screams
from the poor child were heart-break,
ing. 1 began to think that he would
never get well, but after the second
application of Cuticura Ointment I
began to see signs of Improvement,
and with the third and fourth appli
cations the sores commenced to dry
up. His skin peeled off twenty times,
but it linally yielded to the treatment.
Now I can say that he is entirely
cured, and a stronger and healthier
boy von never saw than he isto-dav."
