Omaha Man May
Be National Head
Of Hotel Oreeters
Local hotel men are confident that
the next president of the Greeterj
of America, the natioanl organiza
tion of hotel clerks, with a mem
bership of approximately 5,000, will
be an Omaha man. And they are
alio irrevocably confident that the
recipient of the honor will be the
man who, in Omaha twelve years ago,
was the prime mover In organizing
the national greeters' body, an or
ganization that has grown from one
local charter, with six members, to
strong charters in practically every
city of importance in the country.
Colonel W. H. Anderson, chief
clerk of the Hotel Koine, and prob
ably as widely known as any guest
grecter in the United States, was, at
a meeting of the Iowa and Nebraska
Hotel Clerks' association- nominated
for president of the national organi
zation. The national convention is
scheduled for Salt Lake City, June 29
to July 3, inclusive, and Colonel An
derson will make his run with the
undivided support of hotel clerks in
Nebraska, Iowa and other middle
western states.
A special train will carry the east
ern delegates to the convention at
Salt Lake City.
Colonel Anderson was nominated
at the meeting of the Iowa and Ne
braska Hotel Clerks' association in
an address made by K, D. Mc Fad
den, a vice president of the organi
zation, and president of the North
western Hotel Men's association.
The chief clerk at the Hotel Koine
is a Mason and an Elk,

Our Mothers' Pension Law
How Is It Working Out?
Here it a careful review made by one of The Bee's staff
men to give the taxpayers and public generally the infor
mation on which to form their own conclusions. It will
appear in three installments, of which this is the second.
Tart II.
MIbs Ether A. Johnson of the
probate court department, who In
vestigate! all cases referred to ber,
Is enthusiastically in favor of the
plan. "It Is not really a mother's
p-nnion," uhe nald, "but a pension
for the children. A woman or widow
without children cannot get this
kind of aid. The plan keeps tha
home together and allows the chil
dren to go to school instead of roIok
to work too, early.
"Regarding the ineligibility of
tho mother owning a bank account
nd the advantages posHessed by
the mother who owns her homo,
there hag been some confusion. It
was thought in the first place by
some that there rhould be a lien on
the home, If a pension were granted,
to be paid by the children when
they became older. The Idea did not
prevail, however. It appears to be
the opinion that there would be few
utirh cases and the parent with chil
dren and a borne should be encour
aged In retaining It.
"About one quarter of the application
nr rejected. This may be for various r
on. The mother may not bca woman of
good character or ehe may have means
wlili h do not warrant the authorities in
i
allowing her to become a burden on the
county. So far as I know, there has been
no embarrassment to any child from tho
fact that Us mother receive a mother
pension. In fact, It frequently hnppna
that the children know nothing about It
anyway.
"There have been so mo mlntakca In tho
administration of the law, no doubt. 1' or
Instance, a women ram hare- from
Plattamouth, Caa county, for the express
purpose of obtaining a mother's pension.
At that time there wag no time limit on
the applicant' residence in the eUte or
county. But she did not at that time get
aid. Some time later, when such money
as she had was apparently used up, ahe
wa allowed the pension. It i not (or me
to decide whether the parent shall be
aided. I do the Investigating and make
my report to the Judge.
"The mother of two children one in the
Castellar public school, applied for a pen
sion. The oldest of the children, a boy,
was not a dependent, In the matter of
age, and was earning If) per month.
Perhaps she shouic, not have received a
pension, but the wage earner was said to
have tuberculosis, and the family condi
tions were pitiful. The mother might soon
be without his support, and on this
presentation to the court, a pension of
$13 per month was granted."
"Inquiry developed that another
mother with even children applied
for a penlon, following the recelp of
damnges from Armour's of something
less than $.1,009, It Is said. A pension out
of the county treasury was given to her
three years ago, notwithstanding the fact
that she had received the money referred
to, Rut she, by advice, inveeted her
funds In two houses, living In on a and
renting the other, It seems that her hus
band owned two tots of land and the
widow had house built upon them. The
rent yielded $10 per month.
"Since the $10 was all tho family had for
It support the court was persuaded to
allow ner a mother' penolon of $30 per
month In addition, out of the pub'.le
treasury. This wan steadily received until
last November, when It was discontinued,
with the expectation that the woman
would so arrange her affairs as to get
along without the county aid. Yet, un De
cember 2 the pension as renewed at the
a.t;e rote. This pension expired January
13 and again It was expected that she
would so adjust her affairs aa to need the
aid no longer. Two weelts later, however,
her nsme went back upon the Hat. re
maining thoie until stricken off on
Mm -1i 2.
"The suggestion that (hera Is any favor
or prejudice against any woman because
of her rellul'in Is absurd," declares Mlaa
Johnson. "The blanks, It Is true, contain
a plnc to be filled out. eutlug the reli
gion of the applicant, hut this Is merely
routine? Information like tnut recnrdlng

the pension for another month, at the
end of which time he ssld he hopes the
$ a month, with what the child oon to
leave school would earn, would he
enough to carry the family along without
further public aid.
"It is better to expend $1 In this way,"

President Thomas Kcynolds of the
Central Labor union and (icorgc
Norman, deputy labor commissioner,
both representing the Central Labor
union, called upon President V. Kay
Gould of the Omaha Builders' ex
change yesterday, with a view to
arranging some kind of a conference
for the building laborers with the
building contractors.
"1 have no authority to speak for
the exchange," saie Mr. Gould.
"Whenever those men want to go
back to work, they are welcome to
cotne to work. We have not fired
them."
"Hut you must recognize that the
wae problem is a big, issue," pro
tested President Reynolds.
"Yes, it seems lo be quite an is
sue," replied Mr. Gould, "and the
contractor is made the goat. We
bid on a job and get the contract on
a basis of so much cost, and then the
men jump out in the middle of it
and demand an increase in wages. It
would make a difference to me of
about $JI),000; that's how much of an
issue it is."
Suggest! a Conference.
Mr. Norman suggested that a con
ference be arranged. Gould declared
he had no authority to arrange a
conference for the builders, and that
the builders were not seeking a con
ference. "Suppose the laborers waive for
the tunc bring the apiestion of rec
ognition of the union," suggested
Norman, "Can't a conference be ar
ranged to consider the wage scale
without regard to the recognition?"
Hut Gould held that he saw no oc
casion for a conference and that the
men are welcome to go back to work
any time they are ready.
The Central Labor union repre
sentatives offered to. make arrange
ments to have the contractors treat
with them instead of directly with
the building laborers, but Gould
would make no arrangements with
them.
The two labor representatives left
without having reached any conclu
sion. The informal meeting occurred in
the rooms of the Omaha Builders'
exchange.

Friend Gets Hia
Money, But Will He
Return It to Him?
There are times when a fella' needs
a friend. Thomas Haleshaw knows
and thinks be has the friend. Later
developments will determine the
value of his friendship.
Haleshaw is tan employe of the
I'nion Pacific railroad. He has been
boarding at Sain Paier's, 504 South
Tenth street. According to Mr.
Paier's story Bradshaw has been de
linquent in settling, and all other ef
fort failing, attachment on his wages
was made out through Justice H. H.
Claiborne. In fact, garnishee pro
ceedings were started against the
I'nion Pacific to collect $25,95 for
Paier.
Hut Haleshaw had already got his
month's salary of about $60, and
started to leave the I'nion Pacific of
fices when he got into a fight. This
was a real fight, not a quarrel with
landlords and attachment servers,
and he was arrested, falling into the
hands of Captain Henry Heitfeld,
Paier's representatives then garnt
sheed the rantain to get the sum
Haleshaw had on bis person. But
all that could be found was $1 08.
The remainder had been cleverly
ditched into the hands of a comrade
on the way to the station house. Of
course the extent of the comrade's
friendship will be determined when
he gives the money luck.
MESSENGER B0 yTs'HELD
ON CON GAME CHARGE
Jim Laird, messenger boy, .1611
North Twenty-ninth street, is being
held at police headquarters for inves
tigation as to a charge of obtaining
$42 under false pretenses. Laird as
serted that he had been sent from
Thirteenth and Douglas streets to
the Sherman St McConnell drug
store to get the money for a man
who said lie was Mr. McConnell.
When arrested he was unable to lo
cale the "phoney" Mr. McConnell,
and having the money in his posses
sion was brought to headquarters.
