THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 1916. DEADLOCK IN RAIL WAGE CONFERENCE Employes Flatly Beject Compromise Offer Presented by Bepresenta- tires of the Companies. ALL OB HOTHDTO," SAT KEN New York, June 12. The confer ence between the representative of the railroads of the United States and their 350,000 employes, called to evert e threatened general strike, came to a Sudden halt shortly arter resuming sessions here today, when the rail roads submitted a counter proposal to the demands of the men. ' The workers have asked for an eight-hour day, time and a half for overtime and the continuation of the existing rules calling for double com pensation for different classes of ser vices during the same working day. The conference adjourned until later in the day, when the railroads will make a reply to what is consid ered the ultimatum of the men, declin ing to consider the railroads' proposi tion, described as ' the "yard-stick" method of compensation.' . . . Railroads Offer Compromise. The railroads' answer to the men's demand was a tentative offer of com promise, granting the eight-hour day and overtime, providing the double compensation rule is wiped out. In other words, the railroads maintain that if the men desire a shortened day they must put in the full time in whatever class of service they are as signed. Under existing rules an en gineer on a 100-mile run, usually con sidered day's work, is granted over time if within his working day he performs aeother class of service. The break came from their reading of the outline of the "yard-stick method by Elishs Lee, chairman of the railroad managers. Heated objec tions were immediately made by the brotherhood leaders. ; ' Ultimatum from Oarretson. A. B. Oarretson, president of the Order of Railroad Conductors,' voiced the sentiments of the men when he said in reply to Mr. Lee: "Our proposition is not modifiable it is either It or nothing. Our propo sition's chief demand is the eight-hour day. The overtime is simply a penalty to enforce iL Our answer is that if the 'yard-stick' is your united offer there is no reason for the continuation of this conference." Chairman Lee declared the attitude of the men made it impossible to pro ceed and he ordered an adjournment until the afternoon, when he would announce, he said, whether the rail roads will continue with the confer ence Or not - i ME, HUGHES TALKS WITH LEADERS IN CITY OFNEW YOEK (Continued from Psge Two.) val of the republican candidate here from Washington. It was the revival of the Hughes alliance, an organize tion of republicans, democrats and independent voters, which came, into existence during the second campaign of Mr. hughea for governor of New York in 1908. . . The announcement was made by Travis , H. Whitney, public . service commissioner, one of the first to meet Mr. Hughes on his arrival on an early morning train. Mr. Whitney accompanied the pres idential candidate to the Hotel Astor, where Mr. Hughes has established his headquarters. He said that the same rnen who were identified with the Hughes alliance bad decided to get to gether to work in New York state for the election of their candidate, probably - under the name of the' Hughes Nonpartisan league. The or ganisation, he said, would establish headquarters here and co-operate with the regular republican organiration. He added " that his organization planned to provide Mr, Hughes with personal headquarters for his visits to New York. ... i Hughst Arrives. ; ";, , "I have nothing to say on politics ft this time," Mr. Hughes said, greet ing newspaper men who met him on the ferryboat which brought,him over the Hudson. This waa in response to question as to whether he would see Colonel Roosevelt during his stay here. . ., . , ' "I have eome here primarily to make my plans for the aummef," con tinued the presidential candidate. "New York, by the way, is where I belong, and I am glad to get back here. - Mr. Hughea admitted (there were certain "important matters to dis ease but-efforts by the newspaper men to learn at this time what his spe cific plansswere proved futile. Just as Mr. Hughes went aboard the ferry the sun came out for the first time in nearly a week and the illumi nation of the New York skyline was very evidently a pleasing sight to him. His presence on the train that brought him from Washington was unknown to all but a few of i;is fel low passengers. When he left the tram be attracted no attention, but aboard the ferry was recognized by commuters coming to the city from their Jersey homes. They made no demonstration. No appointments had been made with republican leaders for this forenoon, according to' Mr. Hughes' secretary, who added that the length of his stay in New York at this time was uncertain. He said also that it wss as 'yet undecided whether Mr. Hughes would receive here or in Washington the 'conven tion committee which is to formally notify him of his nomination. V Duty Supremely Clear. - Mr. Hughes received newspaper men during the forenoon, but de clined to discuss his plans. He was asked how it felt "to be drafted for the biggest job In the world." , "I can onJy say," he' replied, "there ere certain circumstances under which a matter of duty is supremely clear and which leaves no ground for hesitancy in this case. There was no Juestion in this situation as to what should do. I did it and in my an nouncement to the people I endeav ored to make my attitude clear." , "I came here to bold consultations in regard to arrangements for the fu ture. I can sey nothing in respect to lue details at this time." Mr. hughes then posed, smilingly, for moving picture men.

If the approaches were added it would still lack traffice, consequently there is no nectic nsste about going on witn tne work.

Colonel Roosevelt's statement that he is out of politics does not mean that he addressed an Othello farewell to the game, or that he will not par ticipate in the campaign.

RUSSIANS ADVANCE NEAR CZERNAWITZ Petrograd Says Cur's Troops Are Attacking Bridgehead Near the Capital of Bukowina. CHECK AT BUAZAZ, SAYS BEELET Petrograd, June 12. (Via London.) Russian troops yesterday ap proached the outskirts of Czernowitz. the capital of Bukowina, the war of fice announced tdsy. The statement also says that Rus sian troops attacked the bridgehead at Zalsczyky. As the Russian troops drew near Czernowitz, the report says there were numerous explosions, csused by the Austrians within the city. ' Russisns Repulsed. Berlin, June 12. (Via London.) Russian troops sttempted to advance northeast of Buczacz, Galicia, and were repulsed, the war office an nounced today. More than 1,300 Rus sians were captured. , The statement says: "Eastern front: German and Aus-tro-Hungarian troops belonging to the army of General von Botnmer re pulsed Russian detachments which were advancing northeast of Buczacz, on the Stripa. More than MOO Rus sians remained in our hands. Other wise the situation of the German troops is unchanged. "Western front: In the Champagne north of Perthes German reconnoiter ing detachments- penetrated French positions and, after a short fight, took three officers and more than 100 men prisoners, captured four machine guns and returned to their own trenches, in accordance with our plans. i "On both sides of the Meuse (Ver dun' front) the artillery was active. The situation is unchanged." , . ' WIRE CONDOLENCE . . TOMRS. BRANDEIS (Continued From Page One.) Brandeis and his enersv and influ ence will not soon be forgotten.

Wharton, who also knew Mr. Brandeis intimately, said: "He demonstrated more thoroughly than anv other livins man in the elate of Nebraska what a man can do who starts at the bottom, without means, without influence and without ex. perience, but with a spirit of deter mination to achieve success and re nown in a chosen occupstion. 'Thirty-six years ago he was s poor boy. Every morning he walked the mile and a half from home to his father's store, becsuse he was too poor to pay car fare. There he awept out built Area and did other humble work. At noon he ate the cold lunch that he had brought with him and then worked on till closing time and walked the mile and a half home again after his hard day's work. : "But his determination and spirit for' achievement never faltered tor waivered. It can be truly said of hjm that he was a merchant prince, a fortune builder, a great financier. "Nor was his life wholly given to material things. He loved his home, his wife, his children. He always had an ear for those less fortunate in life and he was intimately and active ly associated with several charitable institutions of the city: "Much of the success and promi nence of Omaha is due to his abiding confidence and the vision which he possessed. When men were halting and doubting, he went ahead and bought the old Young , Men's Christian association building, put men to work and built the present magnificent store. That gave the impetus. ' That was the turning point toward the phenomenal growth which has characterized Omaha." TWO-THIRDS OF DEMO DELEGATES NOT INSTRUCTED (Continued From Page One.) lacks the alluring feature of an ex citing contest over the head of the ticket" The convention hall is rapidly tak ing form and the national committee says it will be ready in ample time. St. Louis hung out bunting and flags in profusion today and decorations appeared everywhere in honor of the convention. . Suffs Plan Silent Campaign. Mrs. Florence Updegraff, the suf fragist leader of New York, believes that the "golden lane" in which sev eral thousand women dressed in white with yellow sashes and carrying yellow parasols will stand in silence on both sides of the main street through which the delegates will pass on their way to the convention is go ing to be an effective argument for suffrage. This silent plea of the "golden lane," Mrs. Updegraff says, is to be in direct contrast with the women's campaign' at other conven tions where oratory was relied upon to make their points. Seats for Contributors. Contributors who gave $5 or more to the $100,000 fund that brought the convention to St. Louis were made happy today by an ' announcement that they would get tickets to at least one of the sessions. The association which raised the fund has 2,300 tick ets and they will be parceled out in proportion to the amounts subscribed. Heretofore tickets have been given only to contributors or $50 or more. The thirty ushers in the convention who counted on tips to swell their re ceipts, today counted up the teceipts so far and found that the tips were coming in dimes, nickels and even pennies. The ushers' room was the gloomiest place in St. Louis. Kick on Long Sessions. The convention managers are hear ing from delegates on every hand sug- ficstions that a four-day session is too ong for a convention which knows in advance what it proposes to do. With the presidential nomination en tirely settled, the only scattering con sideration of the other, names than Vice President Marshall's for the sec ond place, some delegates cannot un derstand why nominations cannot he reached before Friday night They are being told by the leaders that a convention has more purposes for the party than nominations and adoption of a platform. It brings all the lead ers together in one assembly to plan the campaign. t "All the expedients adopted by George W. Perkins and his fellow workers at the Ghost Dance conven tion in Chicago last week, to prevent a nomination are likely to be resorted to here," said one democratic leader. "The whole business actually could be finished in a day if that were de sirable. The platform is as good as , written and the balloting is only a formality, but the city of St Louis contributed $100,000, and we have agreed that the convention shall run for four days so they can get their money back in hotel and restaurant charges." , May Ask Bryan to Speak. The convention managers realize the necessity of keeping the delegates entertained. It was understood that at some time during the speech mak ing, William J. Bryan might be in vited to address the convention on party achievements. Today there still were no indications that , Mr. Bryan intends to take part in the ac tual oroceedenKS by proxy. Mr. Brvah. however, who. his friends say, will support President Wilson, is expected to appear before the resolutions committee at open hearings to urge the adoption of planus on peace ana pronitwion ana other questions he advocates. While Vice President Marshall is evervwhere the leading figure in dis eussion of the second place, some other booms are likely, but they are regarded as favorite son affairs not likely to oisturo tne narmony pro gram when the nominations come along. Henrv Moreenthau. former ambas. sador to Turkey, who resigned to $o into the campaign for President Wil son's re-election and who probably will handle the national committees finances, today revived a boom for Secretary Baker for vice president Mr. Morgenthau said he expected to take the boom into tne convention. Mullen Brings Morehead Boom. Arthur F. Mullen, national commit teeman from Nebraska, wno is Doom ing the candidacy of Governor John H. Morehead of Nebraska, who led the fight against Bryan in the state primaries for selection of delegates. Mr. Mullen said today the entire dele gation was for Morehead. There was some talk today of an effort to insert in the platform a plank urging legislation to prevent with drawal of federal judges from office to take any other federal office or be come a candidate tor sucn an ottice. More influential members of the na tional committee were not inclined to belive that such a plan would be long considered by the resolutions committee. They pointed out that it might confront the democratic party some day and stand in the Way of its taking a candidate from the federal bench. Senator Thomas Taggart said today that the vice presidential candidacy of Roger Sullivan, although it has the support of the Illinois delegation, probably will not be placed before the convention. Mr. Sullivan himself, the senator said, does not take the ques tion of his nomination seriously, nd is expected- to try to prevent it. , Will Clear Track for Marshall Senator Taeeart said he expected the names of Governor Major of Missouri and Senator Owen of Ok lahoma to be presented, as well as those of Governor Morehead and Secretary Baker, but predicted an effort to have the withdrawal oi all names except that of Vice Presi dent Marshall, whose nomination is expected by acclamation. While some of Montana's dele sates were nlanning to nominate Governor Sam V.. Stewart of Mon tana for vice president, others de clared he was not in sympathy with the movement and would, upon hit arrival tomorrow, take steps to pre vent presentation of his name. Because the republicans nave chos en their vice presidential nominee, Charles W. Fairbanks, from Indiana, delegates from several states who came here favorable to displacing Vice President Marshall of Indiana and substituting Governor Major as President- Wilson s running mate, to day swung to Mr. Marshall.
