I Shamp and other bulwarks of organized labor, the Central Labor union In open meeting last ntght 'voted by a biff majority to send a committee 'of two j to i. Lincoln to wait upon the governor and tho chief deputy commlssfoner of labor to Inform them of tho nonenforcement of the labor laws In Omaha and the attitude which tho ap pointive officers of the present adminis tration have taken. "Labor Commissioner Pool has abso lutely refused to enforce the laws here regulating the employment of female labor, and particularly the laws which limit the employment of women to nine hours a day; he has even gone further and told the deputy factory Inspectors here to put the 'soft pedal' on certain factories, and, above all, to abstain from making any political enemies." said W. A. Chrlsman, who started the movement at the meeting at the labor temple last night "I suggest and demand that this or ganization pass a resolution empowering the president to appoint a committee of two to watt on the governor and Mr. Pool and Inform them, that we Insist on either thie enforcement of the law or the resignation of that man Pool. "We of the Central Labor union here $135,000,000.00 Subway to be built in Chicago This means at least 7 Million People in ls than three years time, making It the largest city in the world.

Nefc. know that Commissioner Pool knows that tho law regarding tho employment of women is being violated in Omaha, and we know further that he has refused to enforce It Fool has contended all along to us that he has the authority to prose cute the cases, but that he has not been empowered to collect the evidence or In vestigate the cases. "We know that he has been Informed of speciflo cases of violation of the law here, jind In these. he has not even taken the action td prosecute them. . 'LWe. knowthat right hero In Omaha girls and women are working twelve and fourteen hours a day, and that Pool has been informed of the facts in the case. "Our former experience in police court has shown that this is not tho place to bring the prosecutions. The county at torney has promised that when the evi dence of two competent witnesses is placed with him he will prosecute the cases. Therefore, it seems to me that the proper place for the filing of the cases is the county court rather than the police court. "Of course, there are many employers who would laugh at a $S0 fine. The thing for us to do Is to see that there are a dozen or so counts In each case, and then they would sit up and take notice. "We should make the present officials of the state tako some stand on law enforcement when Mr. Morehead came to Omaha seeking election, he came to us as a working man, and we believed him when he said that he would enforce the laws of the state. He is the ex officio commissioner of labor of the stato of Nebraska. Pool Is only his henchman. the deputy state labor commissioner, Therefore, I suggest that the committee bo appointed to see both the governor and hla appointee, so that that the real man responsible for this condition be ap prised of the facts in the case." Caution Advised, Then the conservative element of the union was busy. C. L. Shamp and other labor leaders made many speeches In an effort to convlnco tho delegates to the Central Labor union that they were wrong in taking up the battles of those who were not members of organized labor, participating in the benefits of the central organization. When tho men still insisted on championing the cause of the women workers, another tack was taken. to convlnco the members that It was not an .official action of the union, because of the fact that this was an open meet ing, Instead of a scheduled meeting. How. ever, the progressive element won, and as a result, an overwhelming vote In favor of the appointment of the commit tee resulted. v W. A. Chrlsman and John Pollan were appointed to carry the message of organ-' lzed tabor to Lincoln, and Mr. Dean was , selected as alternate. i Both members of tho committee Insisted that they would be supplied with ample data of specific instances of violation of the Jaw In Omaha, before they attempted to present the caso to the governor and his deputy labor commlsslonerf CAPTAIN OF WOODEN SCHOONER IS drowned; - .

Furn ishings should be artistic and, In order to acquire this characteristic, they must bo chosen with a view to their harmonious relatlonjylth other furnishings to be used In proximity. It is not nocessarjrthat all furniture in the samo roomie of precisely tho Bame kind and ' and style in order to secure harmony. In fact, an unusually ploaslng effect is sometimes obtained by the use of odd pieces well arranged. When the "no-period" style of Interior decoration 1b used, It is pos sible utilize many old-time pieces of furnituro to good Advantage. Pieces having the same general contour, color and other characteristics in common should be chosen from the collection and used together. When furnituro of this type is employed in furnishing tho homo, the hangings, floor cover ings, upholstery fabrics and wall coverings should bo carried out as far as possible in shades of one color. Variety will bo furnished by tho miscel laneous collection of furnituro, old tapestries, antiques in brass-waro, lamp shades and other articles. Furnituro of the old Now England type 1s popular at tho present time. Copies of old pieces made up without upholstery are much used for cottages and country homes. Strength, durability and grace are characteristic of these reproductions.. Such furniture finished in shades of brown, gray or, white enamel to match the color scheme of the various rooms is particularly good for the upper portion of the house. It Is practical and does away with . the necessity of much polishing which is a nuisance in tho country home. Canework is seen a great deal in these chairs, couch-backs and bed head boards. This adds to the lightness and beauty of the furniture. Eliza bethan and Jacobean styles In chairs, tables and other articles are bolng suggested by architects and Sheraton furnfture 1b also popular. Numerous chairs handed down from tho early days are being usod in modern homes. Theso chairs are of many periods, from tho "turned" chairs, the first found in America, to the rocking chair invented by Benja min Franklin and the easy chair of a little later period. Rush bottoms and slat, or comb backs are characteristic of theso, which include, besides' the American models, tho early Dutch, French and Windsor types. In many homes, along with these, antiques are used for lighting fixtures and they add much to the beauty of the rooms. Old lamps, candle-sticks, lanterns and torches are among the types shown. Old cliesta of drawers, tho bureau, tho high cupboard and tho old "highboy" of tho early days are among tho unlquo pieces seen in somo homes. Fainted furnituro, the product of the middle ages, has becomo popular again In somo circles. Copies of Adam, Heppelwhlto and Sheraton patterns are sultablo for bedrooms and drawing rooms, especially in summer homes. . Painted satinwood pieces are popular, but not practical as they are not dur able. Lacquered work following Queen Ann designs Is coming into voguo. Old bedsteads are much sought after for the modern home. Of theso tho four-poster of tho lato eighteenth century type, is considered tho best. ' NRarc Chippendale models are considered a luxury. Those have slender col umns, carved finals, a tester and peculiar old-fashioned curtains. Any number of old Dutch, French and English bedsteads are Interesting fea tures of collections of today and many of these are seen in the up-to-dato homo. Common sense Bhould rule in tho. selection and arrangement of unique furniture, whether antique or modern. Upon tho propor treatment of tho rooms depends the ultimate effect. If caro is taken, usually good rosults may be obtained. "The Home Comfortable" Think what that would mean to tho woman who has toiled long and laboriously trying to do her washing in tho old fashioned way.
