(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June 20. (Special Telegram.)
There will be no special session of the
legislature called to submit the initiative
and referendum. Governor Shallenberger
will Issue a statement to this effect to
morrow. The governor came to this decis
ion this morning and the reason that hti
will give In his official statement is there
Is not. sufficient time for the legislaturn
to be convened, pass the proposed amend
ment and get It on the primary ballots.
, This statement from the governor fol
lows closely on the news from the Com
moner office that sufficient votes are in
sight 'to .insure the three-fifths majority
ror the bill, the condition made by thn
executive for the convening of the leg
islature. The governor fUures that in
those districts where the legislators have
resigned there will have to be special elec
tions to fill the vacancies and that will bo
under the necessity of giving ten days'
notice of these selections.
Ballot Closes July 18.
The secretary of state will close the pri
mary ballot July 18 so the governor will
say that does not give sufficient time to
place the proposed amendments on the
primary ballots. To submit the amendment
at the fall election without it having been
endorsed by any party at the primary he
holds would be a waste of time and money.
The law which provides that amendments
may bo endorsed at state conventions was
tepealed by the primary law In 1907. The
governor left this morning for Omaha.
C. W. Bryan said tonight that he did not
care to discuss the matter until after ha
had seen the governor's full statement.

MAYOR AND GOVERNOR TALK
Delays of Shipments Ilia Theme of
Addresses, and Causes Voir to
Correct that . Trouble In
Fotare.
Delegates to the coal dealers convention
shed their coats yesterday afternoon. Most
them had already done so when the
first eesslon was called to order by Presi
dent Gregory and a new more timid fol
low ed when the president urged all to
make themselves confortable. Mayor
Dalhman kept his on, but Governor Shallen
berger did not. the executive disclosing a
pair of broad suspenders. .
The weather' formed tople tf every
address of the afternoon .and each speaker
related some Uttel story roncemlng that
clime where the the temperature le even
hotter. But. the heat did not take the
enthusiasm from the delegates nor the
glnser from the speakers.
Nearly all of these had one theme In
common: delays in shipments of coal by
the railroads last winter and the necessity
of working that this shall not occur again.
"Old troubles may be ended," said Presi
dent Gregory In his opening address to the
northwestern coal dealers before him," but
new problems ever arise and we see that
the work of this association must always
go on. It was a surprise last winter and a
most unpleasant one when the railroads
caused all those delays In shipments and
on this account we must work for efficient
reciprocal demurrage laws."
President Gregory In closing, thanked the
convention for the honor of serving as
Its head and promised his aid to his suc
cessor. He had been preceded by two speak

vacation. Incidentally the mayor delivered
himself of a considerable eulogy of Omaha
and the northwest. In opening his address
he had recognized the presence of the
state's chief executive by making has salu
tation run, Mr. Chairman. Governor and
Oentlemen of the convention."
Governor Shallenberger took reciprocal
notice of the mayor's presence and indulged
In a few Jokes as to their rivalry for nomi
nation. The governor referred to the fart
that although Nebraska has agricultural
wealth each year of 1400,000,000 and manu
factures of 1300,000,000, yet it does not mine
any coal. Governor bnauennerger also
spoke of the reciprocal demurrage law, as
it exists In Nebraska, and declared his
own activity In getting it passed.
Another Lincoln resident, H. T. Folsom,
followed Mayor Dahlman by acknowledging
the welcome of the mayor. After the gov
ernor, the annual report waa read of Sec
retary N. L. Laird of Minneapolis. He was
followed by E. Q. Stone of Minneapolis on
the subject "Credits."
Three hundred delegates, who are attend
ing the convention, went In the evening to

which Includes many subjects of Interest
to the trade and which will begin with a

When this association was first founded
It was organized with the idea of elimi
nating, as far as uosslble, the mall order

firm belief that the work of the associa

can say without fear of contradiction that
the conditions in the coal trade In this
reseect are better than in any other busl
ness In the country today, and can only
be accounted for by the active wark of this
association.
The wholesaler has learned to regard
the rights of the retailer, and the retailer
In turn haa come to respect the rights of
the wholesaler. There are a number of
vital questions covering refusal of ship
ments on the part of the retailer, re-
spanslbillty of the retailer and whole
saler, etc., that have never been threshed
aut to the satisfaction of all intercuts, but
I hope when this convention adjourns, the
right step in this direction will have been
taken, after the report of the trade ethics
committee haa been made. This will be i
progreslve move to the benefit of both In
terests ot the trade.
