Prices on the best kinds of fat steers were strong to as much as 10c Mgher than the ciose of last week, and otner kinds were fully steady. Cows and hellers were active and generally 10c higher. Trere was a fair demand for wnat few stocker and feeder cattle there were here and they generally commanded good firm trices. yuarai.tlno regulations covering ship ments In and out of this market remain the same as detailed previously In these columns. All shipments of stock from vast of the Missouri river and trom the i-tates of Missouri, Kansas and South Dakota are still barred from the South Omaha market except for mimedlate slaughter, or for shipment to other points for slaughter. There is nothing In the regulations to prevent stockmen frotnj Iowa and all other states buying clean western feeders on this market and ship ping them out. The national regulations provide that stock crossing a state line and billed as stockers and feeders must be shipped in cleaned and disinfected cars. Stock may be shipped across state lines for Immediate slaughter without the necessity of th ecars being cleaned or disinfected. : Quotations on cattle: Good to choice ccrnfed beeves, 87.4ng7.S0; fair to good cornfed beeves, 36.757.40; common to fair cornfed beeves. 85.7o6.75; good to choice heifers, 86.O01i4.76; good to choice cows, 8.".. 756. 40; fair to good cows, 84.85&J6.75: common to fair cows, 33.50r-4.85; good to choice stockers and feeders, 3.8oift't.40; fair to good stockers and feeders, 86.2o(3 6.80: common to fair stockers and feeders, K.00&6.25; stock heifers, 35.2Tii.00; stock cows, 84.754Jii.7b; stock calves, 3.00i6.00; veal calves, 37. 00ft 10.00; bulla, stags, etc, M.WfoO.OO.

In cases the advance on lambs wss mors than that. Chicago was reported as having only S.OuO head on sale, and this in itself served as a bullish factor. The local receipts wers estimated at 7,V head, against (.221 a week ago. P1.2M two weeks ago and 12,17k a year ago. There was a larger per centage of Mexicans than usual, which partly accounts for the bulk of the lambs selling at a high rang of priest.

WHARTON IS AGAINST REPORT Probably on of the biggest meet ings of the. locnl poiitofflce clerka held during the last two years waa the one held Sunday at the eld Army building at Fifteenth and Dodge. $0 moved were the clerks that the officers and the few paci fiers had a hard time to keep the peace, the breach coming when a number of the members demanded that the association affiliate with the National Federation of Labor. The Deader of this movement said: ine time has come wnen me civu service employes of this country must unite with labor and labor unions and fight the crushing hand of the spoilsman. We are today about to witness the tearing down of what it took years to build up the present businesslike method of the Omaha postofftce as established and maintained by our distinguished postmaster and assistants selected for their ability and not for political reward or through favoritism. More World fewer Men. "No employe in the Omaha post offtce will say anything but that the Omaha office Is in better working condition, doing more work with less men, and more efficient work than it has done In the last twenty years. It is high time that we call upon that great body of labor to protect us from this centralized power at Washing ton." At the conclusion of this speech it was voted to affiliate, when another discussion arose as to the advisability of doing so at this time. After several hours of debate It was finally decided to lay on the table. . Committees were appointed to draw up resolutions and wire all Nebraska con gressmen, Senators Hitchcock and Nor rls, also Postmaster General Burleson, protesting against the recommendations of the efficiency committee. When mention wag made of Postmaster Wharton's stand he wss given a wild demonstration. Clerks Dear Meetlaat. OMAHA, Feb. 21.--T0 the Kdltor of The Bee: In this morning' Uua of Ths Bee tFebruary 22) an article la printed re porting the action of the local poslofflcs clerks holding a protest meeting Hoard ing the finding of the efficiency board tliat Investigated the Omaha postofftce during the last ten week, and condemn ing the action of the board; also that member of the association demanded that th postofflce clerk unit with the American Federation of Labor, t wish to stat In answer to that article thnt the meeting was a regular monthly masting of Branch No. 21. and during the time of opening and closing of that mrwtlng. at which I was present all the time, no such action was taken by the organisa tion a was stated In your paper. The action taken at the meeting wa hat a committee wa appointed to draw up resolution of protest against a provision In the poitofflc appropriation bill against the department's recommendation of bi ennial promotion, Instead of th present system of annual promotion whl:h th postofflc employe enjoy under the sal ary classification act of 1907. I feel sure that you did not Intentionally moan to put the postofflce clerk In this city In an embarrassing position by publishing an article which 1 not the trutli, and trust that you will take step to correct the m. Very truly your, A. 8. COHN. Wharton's Fir as Stand.' Declaring that he doe not expect th Postofflce department at Washington to adopt the recommendations of an "effi ciency" board for a big shaks-up In th local postofflce. Postmaster John C. Wharton ha come eut with a positive statement on the board's recommenda tions, which he say are wholly without reason, , "I don't expect the board' recommenda tions will be adopted," Postmaster Whar ton says. "In fact, t am very confident that Its report will not be put Into ef fect, because there I not a single reason whyi It should be, and there I every good reason for continuing the Omaha post office force Just as It Is now.' Meat Faltafal aad Efficient. "The men who would be concerned In the proposed changes are most faithful and efficient, and always have arid still are rendering splendid service in the posi tions thy now hold. 80 much for effi ciency; and a to the righteousness of th matter, I am positive that the only fair thing for the government to do I to re tain It old and faithful employe In their present places. Just as long a they ar fully able and willing to in their work." As to the suggestion that politic may have figured In the "efficiency" board's report, the postmaster says he doesn't think there was any politics In It, as two of the thrco Inspectors, W. F. AHman and A, L. Lewis, are republicans, In siector II. E. Randall being the only democrat. Part of General Plan. "Under the present administration," Postmaster Wharton continues, "the In clination hss been to weed out the old and Inefficient postal employes. The Omaha recommendations are quite mild, compared to those made for other first class n'toffices around the country, where th services of many men In omo rases have been entirely done awsy with. But In the Omaha postofflce, 1 feel sure that there Is not a single case of Ineffi ciency, and I am so positive of that fact that I have written a fourteen-page letter to th department to accompany the In spector' report and urge that their re ommendations shall not be adopted. Watodard lavalaabl as Assistant. "Assistant Postmaster James I. YVood ard, who is recommended for demotion and decrease In salary. Is familiar with every department of the postofflce, has been an employe for forty-two years and In his present position for thirty-one years. His acquaintance alone Is In valuable to postofflce patrons, and his removal from the assistant postmaster's chair would be a move for Inefficiency, rather that efficiency.' As to Colonel Henry C. Akin, postal cashier, whose resignation is recom mended. Postmaster Wharton declare that when the board wa Investigating bc-re. It asked Akin If he would Lake a Omaha Woman b r. TWtSAKZT Opiizn clerkship and he refused, saying that a he ha recently inherited so mo money, he does not have to work In a menial capacity and would rather resign. Akln'a Resignation In, "Colonel Akin did hand In his resigna tion," the postmaster continued, "but I valued his scrvlcos so highly that I re fused to accept It or ssnd It In to Wash ington. I have It in my aaf now and will use It only If the department adopt the board's .report and demote Colonel Akin or asks for his resignation, which I am sure It will not do. "Bo far a George W. Kleffner I con cerned, he I one of the most persistent, cnergetle and efficient worker in the whole postofftce, and a man eminently fitted for the position he fills a assistant superintendent In charge of the letter carrier. The Inspectors say he was once a carrier himself, and so I liable to be too eaay on the carrier. Put I Insist that a man who ha risen from the rank of the carrier I Just the man to handle them most efficiently. Kleffner Defends Hie Men. "I suspect that the reason a reduction In rank Is now recommended for Kleffner, whom the board would shove down to the Union depot substation, la that he I a very poaitlve and outspoken man and had nerve enough to boldly argue and take exception to the Ideas and criticisms of Inspector Lewi of Oklahoma, who I Just as positive. .The two frequently argued during the efflclennv canvas, be cause Kleffner defended ths experienced men whom the board marked for dis missal or demotion." C. W. Kaltelr, now superintendent of the Union depot substation, I recom mended to take the place of W. A. Kelly, In charge of the registry division. Mr. Wharton says that Kelly ha volunteered to step out and take a clerkship. The former avers that so long as Kelly Is willing to follow the board auggestlons, the postmaster heartily approved of Kaltelr for Kelly' position. ' Will la Rlgtkt riaee. ' "Concerning Charles F. Wllle, now superintendent of the , money order division and recommended by the board to take Mr. Woodard's place as asslstsnt postmsster,". says Postmaster Wharton, "I insist that Wllle Is needed right where h la, a ho I and Will be most efficient there. I am urging the department to keep him at the head of the money order division, but wltb a substantial salary In. crease. "If Colonel Akin' resignation la ac cepted, I shall urge that Charles McQIU, recommended for Wllle' place, be given Colonel Akln's place as postal cashier Instead, which would give McGiy the pro motion and salary Increase that he Justly deserves. E. I. Hong, now superintend ent of the parcel post department and the very best msn for the place, I cer tainly Insist will he most efficient in that place. 1 am urging his retention there, with a salary Increase in the near future. Instead of a transfer to Kleffner position. The latter change would not make for efficiency by either man." Russ Attacks Fail, Vienna Report Says VIENNA (Via London), Feb. 22.
