Tli- srerolty of labor In the wt lias
rrachiHl fclint tln Union raclflc ofTlc al.t
term an alarmlnR stage and they aay( It
places nn omli:ous aspect on the situation
for tli dial conaumr the coming winter.
The Union Pacific la repeating lie urgent
ai'peal ti coal dealers to took up on their
uppllra now while they may, but la meet
ing with discouraging- results. They assert
that for some unaooountable reason the
tnal men are not ordering as they should
If tbey want to help In trying to forestall
suffering.
Coal mme labor la so acarce that some
of th Harrlman lines have ordered coal
from Australia and lately they made ar
rangements for the purchase of 2.000 tons
a week from Illinois, paying. $1 a ton for
the coal and $7 for freight to Garfield, t'tah.
At least 1.090 men are needed In the coal
tnlnrs of Wyoming and Utah alone, where
labor Is so scarce that Japs are drawing
ts high as 1170 per month. Agents have
been sent all over the country' to Induce
men to go wpst to work In the mines. The
Oregon Railway and Navigation company
has brought out of Chicago. Cincinnati and
IMttshurg as many as 1.0r0 men at a time,
paying their fares.
Recently this road sent an official to New
York to Induce Immigrants to go west. He
arrived on a day when the transatlantic
liners landed 11,000 people In New York
City, but as far as the records show not
one of this horde landed west of Pittsburg.
Hard Tim to Fill Orders.
Tf so much difficulty on account of the
lack of labor Is, experienced In getting
mil to run the railroads It Is naturally
anticipated there will be greater difficulty
In supplying private consumers next winter
nd consequently the railroad managers
have been Issuing warnings to consumers
to lay In a supply. Many of the dealers of
the western states have heeded this warn
ing, but many more are playing the part
of the "foolish virgin." Great trouble Is
anticipated for this winter unless the warn
ing of the managers Is heeded. An espe
cial effort was made to have as much coal
ts possible moved before the corn crop was
ready to move and this to some extent
has been successful.
The I'nion Pacific has been a leader In
taking its own advice and has laid up over
iOO.OOO tons of coal that It the better may
handle coal for others this winter.
The dutnand for men In the west also is
roflected In the fact that new railroad op
erations are held up. On the Yellowstone
park branch, from St. Anthony, Idaho, to
the, southwest entrance to the park, pro-
gress was considerably delayed for want of .
men. But recently work was resumed on '
the t'nion Pacific's North Platte river I
branch In Nebraska after a delay of .
several months, due to a shortage of labor .
and material. Thousands of ihe Immigrants ;
who are landing dally in New York and !
filling , the crowded centers of the east
could find plenty of labor at higher wages
If they would but come west. f
While the Vnlon Pacific and other rail
roads are doing their utmost to bring
laborers Into the field, local employment
igencfcs are swamped with orders.
EVERY VISIT HERE IS A PLEASURE
So many Omaha women have told us that since our
new store has been completed it has made shopping so
much more pleasant that scarcely a day passed that they
are not in Brandeis' store afr least once. They declare no
day seems complete unless they have visited this great
store with its many conveniences and its rich appoint
ments. And that's the way we want you to feel.
' The Brandeis store was designed for your convenience
and comfort and we'd like to have you visit here every day.

The Nebraska Telephone Company
conducts its business in a way as to earn
a reasonable return of 6 per cent upon tbe
capital actually invested by its stockhold
ers. If the company failed to provide suit
able and adequate apparatus, and if it did
not set side a large proportion of its earn
ings to provide for renewing its apparatus,
it might for a time how much larger divi
dends. But such a course would only invite
ultimate disaster. An intelligent self-interest,
leaving out all other considerations, is
sufficient to prompt the company to deal
fairly with the public. And in order to deal
fairly with the public the plant must be up-to-date
in every respect and the service
must be prompt and accurate.
The telephone plays a greater part in
the daily life of the people than almost any
other public utility. If the telephone com
pany does not do its work well, its failure
immediately becomes apparent to its thous
ands of patrons. This fact shows why any
well managed telephone company tries by
every means in its power to keep its service
at the highest possible efficiency. The Ne
braska Telephone Company is able to give
its subscribers full value for their money.
Its. earnings are not mortgaged to pay in
terest on over capitalization. It pays no
rake-off to construction company. It pays
no promoters profits. If you want first
class telephone service call up the Nebraska
Telephone Company.
"To begin with, the promoters con-
trolled both the telephone company and the
construction company," says the Toledo
News-Bee in an editorial on the Toledo in
dependent company. "As the telephone
company they contracted with themselves
to pay themselves 15 per cent on construc
tion. That is, for ery dollar they spent
as the telephone company they made 15 per
cent profit as the. construction company.
Then they floated bonds at 87V. with 100
per cent stock bonus. That means that
every person who bought a $100 bond wa
given $100 of stock par value as-a bonus.
And every. dollar of the stock was water. -
"We don't know how much the plant
cost, but a bond issue of $2,500,000 was au
thorized and a stock issue of the same
amount. If all the bonds and stock have
been issued there is a capital liability of
$5,000,000. First the people must pay,
enough in telephone metal to pay the oper
ating expenses. Then enough to pay inter
est on the bonds, and after that enough to
pay dividends on the stock. The moment
the company can drag enough money out
of the people in telephone rentals to pay all
the fixed charges and (5 per cent on all the
stock, they have transformed $2,500,000 of '
wind and water into good hard American
dollars."
The editor of the News-Bee evidently
lias a pretty clear idea of the independent
telephone promoters methods, but the prof
its he describes are merely paper profits
until one of two things happen; either the
sale of these inflated securities to the pub
lic or the raising of subscribers' rates so
that they will pay interest on the inflated
capitalization. Either the purchasers o
stocks and bonds, or the telephone sub
scribers will have to. pay. the promoterV
profitv '
