HIGH SALARY BILL THE CAUSE

Causes "Workers to Ileconic '
Much Peered.
If ever Congressman Charles Otto Lo
beck hoped to keep the support of the
rank and file of South Omaha democracy
with him, Jt now appears that ho must
lCok elsewhere for support against almost
nny one who runs next fall. Congressman
Charles Otto Lobeck Is In bad In South
Omaha to say the least. First tho lilsh
democrats who constitute a large portion
of South Omaha democracy are made
over tho Panama tolls repeal and tho way
Congressman Lobeck voted for the re
peal. The congressman had just as well
walked out on Indian hill clad In orungo
yellow In St. Patrick's day.
Then there appears the egregious I
activity of the congressman In favor ot
a bill for higher wages for federal em
ployes working In the packing houses
and stock yards. These federal employes
at present are neither overworked nor
underpaid. The poorest paid class draws
$100 a month from Uncle Sam and often
does not work halt a day. Tho other
class draws from $1,(00 up. Now tho
complaint Is not against these federal
tmployes. lut the complaint Is rather
that Congressman I.obcck hailing from a
district In which packing house labor Is
rated at 19 cents per hour and then only
broken tlmo should worry eo much about
underpaid federal employes. The bent
and bowed worklnsmen of the packing
houses of sturdy democratic bullets want
to know why tho congressman Is bo fever
ishly active for raising tho salaries of
the meat Inspectors and the veterinarians
, when his life long supporters would ap
preciate a bill that would glvo them work
even and almost any salary so that It
were etoady.
Htnco It Is that tho Dahlman club In
South Omaha Is quietly pushing Its lines
among tho rank and fllo of the democrats
In South Omaha. And tho word Is being
tteadlly spread as to the Influences which
were able to win Omaha's Commercial
club endorsement for a bill for the re
lief of federal employes In packing
houses and stock yards.

County Commissioner Tom O'Conner,
democras and friend of the small demo
crats of South Omaha, pushed another
one over yesterday when he effected a
compromise whereby tho county will
erade Harrison street between Railroad
avenue and Mandan park. The work to
obtain this concession on the part of the
county has been In progress for moro
than twenty years, It Is said. The street
runs between Sarpy and Douglas counties.
Each county must pay its share. The
