cially the teachers and ministers who have
to deal directly with rural life and educa
tion. The school Is to last two weeks. It

life convention and among others who will

college' and to enlarge it so that It will
become a material factor In the develop
ment of a better spirit in ths rural com
munities of the state.
Coincidence of G, A. R. Reaalon.
A remarkable circumstance In connection
with the Grand Army reunion held the last
week at Muscatine waa In regard to the
election of Lot Abraham as department
commander. His nomination was seconded
by Captain J. D. .Brown, who received
from the hands of Captain Abraham a
canteen of water as he lay nearly dead on
a battlefield. The new commander was
escorted to the platform by Hugh Pickell,
who served aa his flrat lieutenant, and X.
L. Ogg, who served aa his second lieu
tenant in the war. Mr. Ogg waa later
elected Junior vice commander of the de
partment and will therefore serve under
the same man he served under during the
war. They were all members of an Iowa
company during the war.

cnase or the water works. The company

that case he will foreclose the mortgage
and probably will undertake the organlza
tion of a local company to handle the
plant

Labor Uniona Ask. Packers to Give
Preference to Local Hen.
HEADS SAY POLICY IS PTJRSTIEP

Paaalng Tferoagk Ilia
Office.
Pursuant to a policy started by ths labor
unions a petition Is being circulated among
the merchants of South Omaha addressed
to ' tha packing companies, asking that
skilled and unskilled labor be taken from
this city In preference to that provided
by labor agencies either in Omaha or else
where. Certain of the merchants speaking
of the petition said that something must
be done to give Impetus to business In the
city. "The whole trouble," said one mer
chant, "Is that the foreign labor does not
patronise home markets. The foreigner will
live on a few cents a day and what ha
does eat la often purchased from an Itiner
ant vendor of his own people. As a result,
much money paid by the corporations of
the city does not circulate among the home
people but la hoarded."
When Interviewed upon the proposed pe
tition to be addressed to the packing plants
several of the magnates declared that their
companies always gave preference to home
labor and to the English-speaking people.
J. A. O'Hearn, superintendent of the
Armour Packing company, said: '"We do
not deal with labor agencies. Wa hire local
men as they apply at the gate, preference
being shown to English-speaking appli
cants." T. J. Sheehy, superintendent of Cudahy's,
said almost the same thing: "We hire noth
ing but local labor and patronise no agen
cies. We hire those who apply at the gate.
Preference Is always given to old residents
of the city."
J. A. Patterson of Swift's company said
that preference was always given to local
labor, but at times of the year the city
could not supply enough men.
Union Workers la City.
For several days tha ease of the labor
people and the contractors engaged In city
paving has been held la abeyance await
ing the determination of the contractors
to remedy matters.
The labor unions of tho city contend that
the contractors of city work must pay
union prices and work their men accord
ing to the union scala of hours. Unless
the contractors agree to the claims of the
uniona there will be a strike and the unions
will bring civil suit to cancel the contracts
between the preeent paving contractors
and the city. This Is In accord with the
city charter, which prescribes that all city
contractors must pay union prices and
maintain union hours for union men. The
labor people have retained able lawyers
and win fight their case to a finish. It
Is asserted that they will have no trouble
In breaking tha contracts. A precedent
waa established by the supreme court of
the state of Kansas and upheld by the
supreme court of tho United States in a
parallel case. The contractors will In all
probability arrange matters with the
unions and It la understood that about
twenty-five nonunion employes of the con
tractors have already applied for admis
sion to the local labor uniona.
The full determination of the matter
will be heard In a few days when parties
of both aides and their lawyers have had
a chance to thresh out the matter to
gether: If the contractors prove stubborn
tho labor people will seek a restraining
order prohibiting tho city council from
allowing the pay warrants of the con
tractors. At present the contractors are
anxious to see the color of the city's
money. - Since the sale of ths Improve
ment bonds no money has yet been re
ceived by the treasurer. It will be some
days before the actual money will arrive.
