sdvsnr announcement from the ef'lce
ef the Association of Western Rsllrod
Incsted here. The position of the reit
roeds, ss explained hy their representa
tive. U follow:
In th formal demand drawn up by
the unloni and now ready to he pre
sented tn the railroad, appear these
word:
Artlrle 1, rtnn A: tn all road er
Ire loo milea or lew. eight houra or le
shall constitute a day, except In pas
senger eervlr.
tuder.ts of labor condition from
t arloua part of th country have written
ta th ofrice of th Association of Wen
era Railway asking for an explana
tion of tbla unusual term, "or leaa" In
p-npoed eight-hour controveray.
tt haa always been otir understanding
that an eight-hour day contemplate
eight houra of labor honestly and com
pletely rendered In return for an elglil
hour wage honeelly and completely pa'.l.
Why 'should th member of th railway
brotherhoods put thla Into their demand- i
femand which ar the moat far-reach-!
Int of any ever yet submitted by group
of American tradea union. It would
seem that under thla claua th brother
hnol art demanding that their membets
receive eight-hours' pay but they ar
not pledging themselves to render In re
tiirn for It. eight houra' work.
In aplta of all the aay the train end
engine service brotherhood an not aak
lng for an eight-hour day aa thoee worda
have been understood by the public up
to the preent time. The net result of
their demand la that they ahalt be paid
what they are now receiving for ten
houra' work at the end of right houra and
that for th balance of the time, ahould
It be necessary ta work more than lght
houra, they will receive overtime en th
basts of time-and-a-half. Tn dollar an-l
renta thla would mean an Increase In
wagea of 26 per rent, which would re
quire tl00,lo,o"i a year.

la very much like riding on a trans

have been built on tho boulevarJ have
been erected by discriminating home
builders and were all planned to eecure
the largrat amount of architectural
beauty. Parking along the way adds ef
fectiveness to the contrast between boule

cant lots, shrubbery, trees, hedges, vines
snd other kinds of follaa-e have been al

Miss I.aaa Station.
For tha convention vialtor and espe
cially the visitor from th smaller local
ity, tho water works pumping station Is
a good place to visit. It Is not often that
a cltlxen takes the time or trouble to
vlw the water works In his own town
snd as the Omaha station Is a very large
one, many take the advantage offered
and. examine the on In Florence. The
huge pumps, tho Immense reservoirs, the
rlp-rapplhg on the river, th mechanical
system, the chemical system, all Interest
and thrill tha visitor.
Two very Interesting plsces for teach
ers to visit whlls the convention Is be
ing held here are the public library and
the city mission. . The public library la
on of the beat equipped In the tnlddl
west and I purely Omaha's library and
Is supported by the city and not by any
endowments. At ths library, convention
Tlaitors will find several thousand ref
erence books and Innumerable curios and
collections. Th Byron-Reed collection
of old coins and the Manderson collection
of Indian curiosities are' especially Inter
esting to teachers. During the conven
tion of teachers the Art Qulld will hold
an exhibit in th library. Th exhibit
of th art guild are held tn the library at
various Intervale during the year and are
always very Interesting- and pretty.

charity. Visitors to this city can ascer

organisation by merely making a ahort
visit on morning becauae their work Is
so extensive that hardly a minute passes
but what something new comes up. Even
to th uninterested person ths systems
Used work of a charitable organisation
becomes attractive because of th pe
culiar working method.
While soms visitors look for amuse
ment or entertainment In a city other
look for eomethlng different. That Is
why the stock ysrds In South Omaha are
attractive. They would hardly be enter
taining to the person who saw them sev
eral times a month or even a year, but
to the person who never saw them are
fascinating affaire.

Th killing of the rattle, the cleaning
and dressing, the packing and shipping
are all new and unknown. The systems
employed are very different from the
systems employed In other lines of bual
nee. Few people oome to Omaha and
fall to witness the packing Industry In
South Omaha.
Another Interesting sight to visitors
from smaller places Is th grain ex
change when the members are on the
floor buying and selling. It will be
difficult to understand Just what tha
niemhera of th board of trade are try
ing to do, but the way they do It will

IRELAND WINS A YICTORY
At Lait Eng-land it Forced to Recog
nize Volunteer Training Corps as ;
Part of Military System.
FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND MEN
(Correspondence o'f The Aasoclated Press.! !
IXJXDON. March 17.-The decision of .
the government to recognise the militia 1
organization known as th Volunteer
Training corps as psrt of ths military
forces of the country solves a difficulty;
that for many months threatened to j
wreck the whole volunteer home-defense !
movement. j
The trouble arose tn connection with !
Ireland, and shows how the old home j
rule quarrel persists even In the face of j
war. The Irish nationalists, or home,
rulers, saw that a bill giving official rec- j
nenttlon to the volunteer forces would !
strengthen the power of the Nationalist
volunteer force, which Is a considerable!
body of men, all united with the Inten-j
tlon of barking the demand for home rule;
with force. If necessity should arise. I
To prevent this strengthening of the'
home rule element, the government pre
pared, a bill at the last aeaslon which
waa carefully worded ao as not to apply
to Ireland at all, but the nationalists
saw through the ruse promptly snd I
threatened to put up a big fight. The!
government then Included Ireland, and
proposed to Include both th national
ists and the Ulster Anti-Home rule mili
tia. But the flsterltea rose In force
against thla compromise, pointing out
that practically all the young men of the
Ulster volunteers had forsaken It for the
front, whereas there were still large
numbers of men of military age In the
nationalist militia.
So, while Ireland was quarreling, the
bill waa allowed to die, and accordingly
no official recognition could be given to
the home-defense organizations through
act of partlamerft.
The ministry hss now got around this
hy merely recognising th volunteer
under an old military act of 1863. whereby
Ireland is excluded. Inasmuch aa the act
In question never applied to Ireland.
Tha Volunteer Training corps thus en
rolled as a part of the nation' fighting
force ar believed to aggregate nearly
00,000 men. Th corps waa organised spe
cifically for home defense, and includes
mostly men past military age or other
wise exempt from military duty. Th
organisation led a thankless and unhon
ored existence during It first year. The
papers poked a good deal of fun at It,
and the war office Ignored It. But de
spite rebuffs, the movement spread with
remarkable rapidity. It adopted a gray
green uniform with red brassard, with
th Initials "O. R." standing presumably
for Oeorr Rex. and drilled faithfully in
th highways and byways.
Punatera explained th "O. R." as
standing for ."George s Wrecks," "Going
Rotten,' or 'Government' Rejects." but
no amount of rldloule availed to hinder
tha growth of th movement.
At on time it was suggested that the
Volunteers should go to Flanders to dig
trenches, but the scheme fell through.
Whn th Derby canvass began they
proved of th greatest assistance. They
helped In th canvass, and as soon as the
canvas waa completed they threw open
their ranks to th Derby recruits, offer
ing them fre preliminary training, so
that when they were called up tney
would not have to begin absolutely at
th beginning.
