4 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MAY 28, 1916 Nebraska LEADERS DIFFER ON LINCOLN STRIKE Executive of Building Trades Ac cused by Head of Labor Union of Being Lukewarm. PROSPECT PARTIAL ARGUMENT (From fMaff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Neb., May 27. (Special telegram.) The strike situation in Lincoln will probably be settled one ay or the other before morning, but at 6 o'clock this evening; there appear ed to be little chance that an agree ment would be reached unless the contractors on the big buildings soften up a little. At a secret meeting of the labor leaders this afternoon it was said that an effort would be made to allow the men to go to work at any job where the union scale was paid. If this is done it simply means that the unions will accent the offer of VV. E. Sharpe and the Terminal building owners to make up the difference between the contract price and the wage demanded of five rents per hour. Trouble Among Leaders. There is considerable feeling be tween C. K. Oyler of the labor union and K. W. Williams, representing the building trades, the former charging Williams with being lukewarm. Wil liams has urged arbitration and a go slow action in the strike on the part of the strikers while Oyler has been more on the firebrand order. Framera Frame Legislation- A committee from the I-'armers' Union has been in session here all day today for the purpose of framing up legislation to be proposed at the next session of the legislature. Among the most important laws the commit tee is interested in are those for a better system of rural education and extension of the work of the union. The committee was addressed by State Superintendent Thomas this morning on educational matters re lating to high schools and other rural school matters. Notea From West Point. West Point, Neb..

ROAD OPEN FORTY-EIGHT YEARS HAS BEEN CLOSED Residents in the vicinity of Fifty third and Pacific street have com plained to the public improvements department because a time-honored roadway has been closed, closing their property from communication with the outside world.

The city will make some provision to provide these property owners with roadway facilities. King Ak's Button On Welcome Arch Ak-Sar-Ben's 1916 button now adorns the welcome arch at the city hall. That's a funny place for the city to wear its button, and, by the way, this is the first time the city ever offi cially wore Samson's button. The button on the' welcome arch is a huge one. It is the biggest button ever seen in Omaha. Yes, rather; it is about three feet across, but is it a correct reproduc tion carrying out the color relations and all. Across the welcome arch are the illuminated words, "Wear one." Also this huge button is lighted electrically at night and is making quite an attrac tive showing. Jajblrd Bona Moll llot.

MANY ENTERTAINING FEATURES The fourth annual meeting and re union of the Nebraska State asso ciation of Elks will he held in Omaha Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, June 12, 13 and 14. A thoroughly systematic effort is heing made by Omaha lodge to secure as large del egations as possible from the fifteen subordinate lodges in the state. This is the first time that the reunion fea ture has been added to the annual meeting and to effectually carry out that idea a special effort is being made to secure the attendance of la dies of Elk families throughout Ne braska. Advertising matter announcing the meeting has been sent out in large quantities to the several lodges and every possible point has been cov ered by continuous correspondence with the "secretaries of the several lodges. Delegations from the Omaha lodge have during the past week vis ited Columbus, Nebraska City and Lincoln, boosting the coming state meeting, and this personal touch with the members in those cities will, it is believed, be productive of good re sults in the way of a largely increased attendance. Similar visits will be made to other lodges between now and the date of the state meeting. Festivities at Den. The program for the state meeting and reunion will open with the second 1916 Ak-Sar-Ben initiation at the den for all delegates and alternates, and, with a variety of entertainment for the visitors interspersed between, will close Wednesday afternoon with a grand military and patriotic observ ance of Flag day in Hanscom park, for which event unusually attractive arrangements are being made. On this occasion the officers of all subordinate Nebraska lodges, who are present at the state menting, will unite with Omaha lodge in the Flag day exercises. Rev. John F. Toucher, pastor of Trinity- Methodist church, and honorary life member of Norfolk, Neb., lodge, will be the orator on that occasion. MRS. DEAVERS KILLS SELF WHILE IN DESPONDENT MOOD Mrs. S. R.

'4 "f HEUMATISfifl One of the many patients in Omaha who is not skeptical of the serum treatment for Rheumatism. To whom it may concern: This is to certify that after consulting Dr. W. W. Bowser I was convinced that his treatment for Rheumatism was safe and would give results. I took the treatment and never suffered the least inconvenience. From my experience I know there is no danger to the treatment and I know it will give' results, because it has not only re lieved my pain, but it has cleared up my complexion. I feel stronger and better than for a long time before the doctor treated me. For six months 1 could not see my own eyes when I looked in the mirror, but now I can look into the mirror without my glasses and see the eyes plainly. Dr. Bo'wssr la vary ronsidernte of hla patients and a rhlld could have token the treatment as easily as I did. I thank fiod, Dr. Downer and his skill In treat ing this dread disessa. I sincerely urge all who ara suffering from Uheumatlum to o to tha doctor, and I pray that God may bleaa him In his noble work. Si"dl V. & H. SCIIUPERLKN. DR. W. W. BOWSER, 314 BEE BLDG., OMAHA, NEB.
