URGES ORGANIZATION AS A NECESSITY
C. O. Piatt of Ohio Tells Ills Hearers
of the Benefit of a I'nlon
nd Calls on Men
to Join.
C. O. Piatt of Ohio, member of the
executive board of the Amalgamated
Association of Street Railway Employes,
delivered an address Monday night at
I-abor Temple before a large attendance
of members of the Omaha Street Railway
Employes' association on the subject of
organisation, and counseled that a more
active Interest be taken In the local asso
ciation. He talked for nearly an hour and
a half, and cited Illustrations of the bene
fits to be derived from organization In the
matter of shorter hours and better pay.
"There are now 70,000 members affiliated
with the Amalagamted association," lie
said, "and Its Influence Is becoming more
potent. The effects of organising the street
railway men of Chicago resulted In a nine
hour day there with a very material In
crease In wages, and the Influence of the
Chicago organization has Induced the Mil
waukee street railway companies to give
shorter hours there with Increased pay.
The same result was manifest In Los
Angeles through the means of organization
In San Francisco, where a nine-hour day
was secured and 25 cents per hour. Los
Angeles selng the effect of organization
among the street railway men at San
Francisco immediately Increased the pay
of street railway employes to 24 cunts per
hour.
"By organization better work can be
secured from the street car employes and
both employer and employed are bene
fited."
Opposes the Open Shop,
Mr. Piatt expressed a strong disapproval
of the open shop system as Inimical to
the interest of the laboring classes. The
open shop was simply a device to destroy
union organization and should not bo
countenanced by union labor. The unions
can obtain better results and more re
spectful attention from the employers than
the Individual. He also advised that the
Omaha organization see to It that their
best men be sent as delegates to the meet
ing of the Amalgamated association to be
held at Detroit during the present year.
Following his address Mr. Piatt was
given a vote of thanks and a half hour was
devoted to answering questions. He an
nounced that he would be In the city
several days, and would address two meet
ings of street railway employes, one to be
held Wednesday afternoon, and another
Wednesday evening at Labor Temple, and
he asked that every street car employe of
the city be present at one or other of
these meetings. He wants to see a strong
organization In Omaha.

NEWBURY, N. If., June 26. The condi
tion of Secretary of State John Hay, who
is confined to his bed at his summer homo
near Lake Sunapee by an attack of
uraemia, was regarded as favorable to
night by his physicians. After a few day
of rest It Is expected the secretary will be
able to leave his room. Dr. Charles L.
Scudder of the Massachusetts general hos
pital, Boston, who came here with Dr.
Fred T. Murphy of Boston Sunday night
on a special train In response to a message
from the family, remained In the village
tonight, but Dr. Murphy returned home
Secretary Hay was prostrated by an
attack of uraemia at his summer home here
lust evening, but early today his condition
had been relieved bf a local physician and
two specialists wlyn had come from Boston
by special truJn, and it was expected that
tho secretary wuld be soon In his usual
health. The attck, which was similar to
others experlencfd by Secretary Hay dur
ing recent years, was attributed to a cold
contracted on his Journey from Washington
to Newbury last Saturday. Dr. J. L. Cain,
the local physician, who was the first one
called to attend the sick man, said at 9:45
m. today:
Secretary Hay's trouble ha been re
lieved. He will need attention for a day
or two. If no complications arise he will
soon be as well as usual."
He stated also that Dr. Fred T. Mur
phy, one of Boston's physicians, had re
turned home this forenoon. The other. Dr.
Charles L. Scudder, will remain for a day
or two In case unexpected symptoms should
develop.
Secretary Hay began to be In pain early
yesterday. Remedies which have given re
lief on previous cccaslcns were applied,
but failed to help him, and Dr. Cain was
called from Newport. He found that In
changing from the climate of Washington
to the cooler temperature of the Lake
Sunapee region, tho secretary had taken a
severe cold, and that organs weakened by
previous attacks had been seriously af
fected. Upon learning this Mrs. Hay de
sired that specialists be summoned at once
and as soon as possible Drs. Scudder and
Murphy were on the way here by special
train from Boston.
Doctor Travel Rapidly.
Tho Boston & Maine railroad cleared Its
tracks from Boston to Concord, N. H., and

two cities. The train then proceeded to
Newbury by the Concord & Claremont
branch. A launch was In waiting to con
vey the surgeons across Lake Sunapee and
the doctors reached the bedside of tha
secretary at about midnight. A completo
but quick examination of the patient was
made and It was seen that his condition.
while exceedingly painful, was not for the
time at least serious.
Under treatment the patient showed Im
provement and the necessity of an opera
tion, which had been discussed, was
averted. During the latter part of the
night Secretary Hay grew considerably
better and by morning regained tho
strength which had been exhausted by
hours of Incessant pain. On account of tho
organs affected by the cold, however, the
physicians ruled that the secretary should
remain in bed for a day or two. Dr. Scud
der then left for home, placing. Dr. Murphy
in charge, with Dr. Cain assisting,
Dr. Cain said today that the members
of Mr. Hay's family were greatly alarmed
because of the fact that the usual reme
dies failed to give relief. "I understand,"
said Dr. Cain, "that Secretary Hay's pres
ent Illness is of a different kind from that
for which he went abroad for treatment
and for which ho took the baths at Bad
Nauhelm. Should attacks such as he ex
perlenced yesterday occur frequently there
Is no doubt but that there would be Justin

certainly seems to have got clear of all
danger In the present Instance.'

Secretary Hay's bedside that the patient

to his family, Mr. Wallace feels that he
should not refuse offhand the flattering
proposition which he has received.
Should he resign as chief engineer, how
ever, he may consent to continue his con
nection with the canal work a sa member
of the board of consulting engineers. Mr.
Wallace's retirement would be a great dis
appointment to the president and eeoretary
of war, and It is understood that strong
efforts are being made to Induce him to
remain in his present position, or at least
to withhold his resignation until after the
final plans for the construction of the canal
have been decided upon and are ready for
submission to congress.
Chaffee May Act a Secretary.
The secretary of war has rendered an Im
portant decision In the matter of succession
In the event of the absence of himself and
the assistant secretary of war from the
seat of government. The question was
whether the chief of staff of the army waa,
under the luw, eligible to be acting ecre-
tatrjyf war and whether he was the "head1
of a military bureau of the war depart
ment" within the meaning of the act of
August 6, 1S2, which would 'give the presi
dent the authority to select him to perform
the duties of the secretary of war.
In view of the authority under which
military bureaus have been established, and
having regard to the supervisory powers
over such bureaus or departments which
are vested by statute In the chief of staff,
It Is held that little remained to be done
to give that office the character of a mili
tary bureau of the war department, and
that It Is within the power of the presi
dent to give that character to the ofllce
if. Indeed, It ha not already been conferred
by the army regulations. In the present
state of the law, the chief of stak Is not
only the senior In military rank, but Is
charged by law with the supervision of the
operations of the several staff depart
ments.
President Pardon Three.
The president lias pardoned Philip Scott, a
full blood Creek Indian, convicted In the
Indian Territory of criminal assault and
sentenced to Imprisonment for life. There
Is serious doubt of the Indian's guilt, and
In addition It Is said he Is very ill with
tuberculoBl The president has also par
doned Lawrence Glvens and William Pad
dock, convicted of horse stealing in the
Indian Territory. In both cases the sen
tences wore regarded as excessive. Both
men had already served about two and a
half years.

prominent citizens of this commonwealth:
"Have you heard the latest story Peter

"No."
"You really haven't heard It? Then I
must tell It to you. Just wait until I eat
one more hard boiled egg and drink another
glass of buttermilk.

last week and hnd occasion to go from his
hotel to the ofllce of the Atlantic City Eat
ing House company, so he called for a
!ih"k. Not knowing where his destination
might be he Just told the Jehu to take him
to the office mentioned. Mr. Her was driven
around the public thoroughfares of Atlan
tic City and finally landed at the office of
the Atlantic City Eating House company.
"What do I owe you?" asked Mr. Her.
" 'One fifty,' feebly responded the driver.
"When Mr. Her was ready to return to
his hotel he discovered that the office of
the Atlantic City Eating House company
was Just across the street from the hotel
he was stopping at."
"What did Mr. Her say then?"
"Walt until I eat another egg and I'll
tell you."
