.0 m LAV OMAIIA SUNDAY BEE. JUNE 7, 1D03. ROADS NOT BACK OF MOVE rrk of Union Pacific Says Employes' Atiociation is Spontaneous. x SAYS MEN ACT INDEPEITBEIfTLY Thinks Readiness) with Which Ei pleyea tteapoad Dlserove tKat Railroad Promalaeted the chM. The Nebraska State Railway Employe' Protective association continue to ri It membership now being over 10.0T4. The promoters are meeting with a heavy re sponse from all employe who hav derided to take an active Interest In things politi cal and otherwise, eaylng they believe what ti to the Interest of the railroads, their employers, la also to their own Interest. "I know the railroads have been accused of fostering this plan," said W. L. Park., general superintendent of the Union Pa cific, "but I think that Idea Is being" dissi pated by tha spontaneous action of nearly all the employes. Most of tha men seem to Jnin the association aa anon aa they are approached. The Btat Railway commis sion took tha attitude at first, that a few men would appear before that body, prob ably at ha Inslgatlon of the railroad of ficials, but when seventy-five earnest men from all part of the state appeared and st.'ed their cases so enthusiastically and with ao much feeling, I think they were aoon convinced that these men were act ing on their own accord. To my knowledge the official of tha railroad companies have had nothing to do with the matter.". Employe Stat Their Plan. Jin railroad employes have prepared a , jdmphlet labeled the "Railroad Employes Alewpolnt," which has been generally f distributed among the railroad men. The pamphlet presents the various argument against rats reductlona and glvea the ob ject of the association In these words: . v The present movs on the part of not only the railroad men of Nebraska, but those of other states. Is almost spontan eous, and has been brought about by the baiting -of-rallroads, which ha been quit general, undoubtedly for the reason that this great corporate. Industry Is morn vulnerable then others and front Its mag nitude more conspicuous. People feel that something Is wrong which .must be cor rected. That there I something wrong I undoubtedly true; that the fault doe not lie with the railroads at present Is sus ceptible of Indisputable proof. In the in terests of the general public, fairness must pro vail snd a calm dispassionate survey of the situation obtain. To seriously crlppie the transportation facility s of the country will be a disaster much greater than can be conceived of, and will reach every man, woman and child In the commonwealth. Notwithstanding the great prosperity en Joyed by the people of the United States during the last few years there seems to have grown up a sentiment that the rail roada and their emdoves were not to be permitted a fair share thereof. Prices for neccSHltlss were advanced, not In accord' nr.ee with the law of aupply and demand but In many cases sympathetically and be cause of the general prosperity. Unreason able prices were msdu possible by lack of generally sharp competition. in many Instances merchants advanced their prices sufficient to Immediately absorb all tht Incresse granted to employes without a scintilla of Justification. Or the other hand, the commercial organisation took advantage of the situation by endeavoring . to reduce the revenue of the railroads in divers ways; th employes, In many In stances, working Into their hands, having been deceived by promises of legislation in helt behalf, which, when It material ised, gave the othfr fellow soma substan- tlttl advantage and the railroad employe the privilege of paying his fare or freight on his household goods If, through nils fortune, h was required to change his position, which In sn Indirect way, re dounded to the benefit of hla paeudo friend.

It Is to be boosters' night at. the den, the which has been widely advertised and the harelqulns, jesters and camareros about the great white throne, will attempt to take the somberaros, chapps, red handker chiefs and other regalia of th plains away from th vaquero. 8hp bell will be -worn by the cowboy business men throughout the ceremony to distinguish them from tha subjects of the king. In the event they are stripped of their cowboy clothing or lost In th rigging -of the ship. For this purpose, E. M. Sunderland, the musician of the Bellrtngers, haa tuned the bell and every one will sound like fifteen notes of a home made phonograph. Jeff la Bell Wether.

"After living for a week on Uncle Bam Breakfast food and getting that Jim Jeffries feeling, there will be nothing for the Ak-Sac-Ben crew to do but pin on the buttons and buy the cowboys a barrel of Allee-SIt-By-the-Flre-Water.
