THE OMAHA! DAILY BEEt WEDNESDAY. 'AUGUST 30, 1903. - PRINTERS' STATLS IN OMAHA Walkoit from Local Job Offioei. Woild Not Surprise Employer or Emp'oj. ACTION AWAITS CHICAGO DEVELOPMENTS On Master Trlntr )lr Says Opft jihsp I. Certain After October Sixth, Whta Contract Eiplrra. A wnlkotit of Job printers from ths Omaha shojis within a weok or ten days would surprise neither tlie employer! nor the union men. The situation here Is In a large degree dependent upon that In Chicago, where the old agreement between the Typographical union and the Typotheta expired July 1. Blnre then the employer! have been tak ing an aggressive aumd and some of them have posted open shop card and started to enforce that policy. Word received In Omaha Monday la to the effect that not lens than 350 union printers have gone out of the Chicago offices. Demands have been made on the other cities of the middle, west to supply nonunion men to take the place of the strikers. None have yet been sont from Omaha, but employers say recruiting la going on In the state and that a detach ment will be shipped from here shortly. Isaac the Same. The Issue In Chicago is the same as that Involving all the union job printers and shops employing them In the country the eight-hour day. More tlmn a year ago the Typographical union, In International session, started the movement, which was upheld by a referendum vote of the mem bers and later stamped with the approval of the convention Just held at Toronto. January 1 Is the date, set for employers to concde the demand. In trtulliitlon the national Typothetae, or organization of employers, declared not only usalnst the eight-hour day anil In favor of the present nine-hour day, but proclaimed that after the expiring of the existing contracts all shops muft be open to union and nonunion labor aline. Coiitiiicts expire at different times In different cities, but most of the large cities In a group of stales In the middle west, Incluiliiig Nebraska. Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, have contracts expiring this year. Tho Omaha pact ends October 6. At Ban Kruni it-co the unjons won the battle, but they already had an eight-hour day and the Issue forced on them wa going back I to the nlnt-liour. Iloth Malm Strength. Both sides claim to be well organized. The Typographical union claims to have a reserve fund of close to Jl.000,000 and the employers assert they are equally well prepared, financially and otherwise. The reins of control In the Impending struggle are vested in the executive committee of the printers and the governing board of the Typothetae. To date efforts have been mainly diplomatic. Trouble In Omaha was hardly expected until October 6, at least, but the way the local printers will be In volved thus explained by a leader In the union: , "The Chicago printers are better organi zed than ever before. They are thoroughly prepared for the fight. But If Omaha and other large cities send In enough men, recrul:ed from the small towns, to run the shops there, It Is probable the executive committee will call a general strike throughout the middle west. The Idea will be to force the employers to spread the llniltrd number of men over as great a territory us possible. The capacity of all shops will in this way be crippled to a minimum." Statement of Kmployers. Declarations' from the other side are If anything stronger. "Things are In a con dition where all the employers In the country will work together," said the head of a big Omaha house, "if It Is thought . good tactic to close down the houses In one or more cities so as to help out those In another town, which may be the pivotal point in the struggle, this will be done. It is not Improbable that the Omaha plants will shut down If there Is a walkout. One thing Is certain, the Omaha employers will run open shops after October (. Kit her th'.s or they will close down. Through the summer the patrons have been prepared to help us out on the strike. I am satis fied the business men will stay with us and co-operate to the last. Many are stocked away ahead, anticipating the strike. AVhen I say that the Typothetae Is prepared I mean every bit of that and In more ways thsn one." No city In the United States, It Is asserted, is more thoroughly unionized In the printing crafts than Omaha. There are net more than half a dozen nonunion Journeymen In town. Therefore the battle here la reckoned upon as 8 lire to be fierce. There are from 150 to 175 printers that will be affected. The newspaper offices are not concerned. Both Sides Deny Tteport. Both employers and leaders In the press men's union deny emphatically a report that the former had opened negotiations with the latter and the bookbinders, for new contracts at Increased wages, so as to keep these crafts from co-operating with the printers. For some time the pressmen have had a demand for a new wage acale submitted. It was turned down by the local employers and went to the Joint arbitration board of the national bodies, which now has It. The pressmen's present contract d es not expire until May, 190T. Whether they get a new one now depends upon the arbitration board. For several weeks President Hlggtns of the pressmen's union and a representative of the National Typothetae have been expected In the city, but they have not arrived. Ho Demands br Binders. The bookbinders say that they have, no demands before employers, that their present contract does not expire until Feb ruary. 1901. and that the local union has formulated no plan for future action. They assert they faavs not be-o approached by the employers with any talk of Increased wages or a new deal. Both pressmen and bookbinders now work nine hours. The pressmen's contract Is on the open shop plan. Both employers and printers are counting on the assistance of the pressmen and bookbinders In the combat that seems Inevitable. Meanwhile Omaha printers are waiting The adjustability of MelHn's Food la on of its good point.

Special United States Attorney Rush Is busily engaged In preparing the necessary information In the land fencing cases and civil suits will be Instituted as soon as this work Is completed. These casts come largely from the forest and reservoir reservation districts In the North riatte land district, where large areas of land have been illegally placed under fence by cattlemen. Much of this land has been secured by soldiers' filings under the Klnkatd law, and as the soldiers havs failed to complete their filing under the six months provision since filing, the entries have been cancelled and the lands have reverted back to the government for the use of bona . fide settler Several hundred sections of land have thus come Into the temporary possession of the cattle men under some form of leas from the parties filing on them, but the government holds that such leases are In direct violation of the law and Jh cattlemen are enjoined from continuing their fences on them any longer and action wtll be begun at once t oompel the removal of the fence. $1.50 SCHOOL SHOES W are prepared for the School Children with a new supply of our popular high grade $1.50 School shoes In all sires and widths. They are made of solid leather throughout and are made on that easy fitting, nice looking last that has made them so popular with the boys' and girls'.
