600,000 WORKERS
ORDERED TO STOP
TOIL WEDNESDAY
Organized Laborers in Nearly
Every Industry in Greater
New York Summoned
to Walk Out.
AT 8 O'CLOCK IN MORNJNQ
Assertion Made Men Have No
Means of Transportation
With Transit Tieup On.
SH6NTS WILL NOT MEDIATE
New York, Sept. 22. Organized
workers in virtually every industry in
Greater New York were formally
called upon late today to cease work
at 8 o'clock next Wednesday morning
in sympathy with striking traction
employes. Labor leaders assert that
approximately 600,000 mem, and wom
en are involved.
The call was embodied in resolu
tions adopted at a conference of labor
leaders representing federated bodies
in all the ooroughs of the city, as
well as many national and interna
tional unions.
Of the eighty unions in the city
represented, it was said somealready
had voted in favor of a strike. Trie
call, it was said, would be 'issued not
only to organized workers in New
l ork, but also to those in West Ches
ter coufTty, in which the cities of
Yonkers, New Rochclle and Mount
Vernon are situated, and would ex
tend throughout a wide range of in
dustries.
Frayne's Statement.
Hugh Frayne, New York state or
ganizer of the American Federation
of Labor, announced the determina
tion to call the sympathetic Valkout
in the following statement:
"It was decided by the unanimous
vote of the representatives of eighty
unions of Greater New York and
vicinity that there shall be a general
suspension of all work in alt trades
and industries in Greater New York
and vicinity, the same to commence
Wednesday, September 27, at 8 a. m."
Officers of several international
unions attended the conference, ilr.
Fravne. said. Among these was T.
V. COtonnor of Buffalo, president of
the International Longshoremen's
union.
William B. Fitzgerald, general or
ganizer1 of the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Street and Electric Railway
Employes, in charge of the traction
strike; represented the carmen at the
conference. . - -No
Means of Transit.
The call is based upon the proposi
tion that union men "Cannot maintain
theirself-respect" if they ride upon
cars operated by strike breakers, ac
cording to a statement issued tonight
by Ernest Bohm, secretary of the
Central Federated union. In cases
where contracts-exist, Bohm said, the
employers will be notified that the
workers have no means of transporta
tion and if the employers cannot pro
vide transportation the workers must
remain at their homes.
"Union employes will not risk their
lives by riding on xars operated by
green motormen and protected by
policemen," Mr. Bohm said. "Neither
can they ride on such cars and retain
their self-respect as union men.
"The general tie-up will come be
cause employers of union labor will
not provide their employes with
means of transportation to and from
work to enable them to start off the
dangerous strike breaking cars of the
several traction lines."
Won't Meet Men.
Theodore P. Shonts, president of
the Interborough Rapid Transit com
pany and the New York aRilways
company, reiterated his determination
not to meet representatives of the
srtiking carmen.
"If 1 did so the men in the Inter
borough brotherhood would have
good cause to strike," he said. " Be
sides there is no reason for negotia
tions. There is no strike. We are
carrying more people in the subway,
on the elevated, and in theSteinway
tubes than ever before. Yesterday we
carried 2,208,257 passengers, or 387,
639 more than on the same day last
year. The service on surface car lines
is 70.5 per cent normal."

Growing; Sentiment in Ne
braska for Hughes Pleases
State Committee.
POLL IS SATISFACTORY
(From a Staff Corrpspomlort.)
Lincoln, Sept. 22. (Special.!
Growing sentiment in Nebraska in
favor of the candidacy of Charles
Evans Hughes and the republican
state ticket lias necessitated an en-
largment of the campaign headquar
ters of the state committee and the
addition of more helpers, Secretary
Beebe announced today
"There has been such a demand for
republican literature in the last week
that the present office force has been
unable to take care of it," Mr. Beebe
said. Accordingly we secured an
other room next to the present quar
ters of the state committee in the
Lindell hotel and will put on enough
workers to take care of alt of the re
quests for literature.
Secretary Beebe said the first of
the poll books have reached the state
committee and shpw an entirely sat
isfactory condition of affairs in the
state, auguring well for republican
success in November.
"The Hughes sentiment in Ne
braska," said Mr. Beebe, "is growing
by leaps and bounds, and especially
since the second tour was started.
With Mr. Hughes making plain the
policies he would put into force, Iuke
war mrepublicans and alarge number
of those who-are classed" as independ
ent voters and who were first leaning
towards Wilson are now strong- for
Hughes. . Mr. Hughes has made a
big impression in this state in his
last series of speeches and we have
felt it at headquarters."
The poll books show the situation
is splendid for the success of the re
publican state and congressional can
didates. We are very much pleased
with the first reports.
Congressman J. W. fordney of
Michigan, who spoke to a large and
enthusiastic audience at Fremont last
night, and who will speak at York to
night, was a caller at the state head
quarters this morning.
Congressman Fordney brought
glowing reports of republican success
in the east. He said that he had been
spending the majority of tiis time
speaking in eastern states and found
that Hughes would ha,ve an easy time
there. Mr. Fordney predicted that the
republican candidate would carry New
York by 100,000 votes.
Attorney General's
, Suits Against Lines
Has Been Dismissed
(From a Staff Correspondent.
Lincoln, Sept. 22. (Special.) At
torney General Reed's injunction suit
aaginst the railroad companies doing
business in Nebraska, to prevent them
from violating the state 2-cent fare
law and the law requiring the sale

preme court. The decision is by Chief
Justice Morrissey and is concurred in
by all the other members of the
court except Judge Rose, do did not

companies, against the attorney gen
eral and the railway commission and
had issued injunctions suspending the
2-cent fare law. The application is
denied as to the Burlington, North
western and Minneapolis & Omaha
roads on their showing that they had
made no move toward attacking or
resisting the state laws and had no
present intention of doing so.

"Business Before the Board,
Pointing Out Need of
Such Institution.
MUCH TESTIMONY TAKEN
This City Shown to Be Logical
Location- for Accommoda
tion of Many People.
FACTS AND FIGURES GIVEN
Omaha wants a Federal land bank
and all the farmers who were at the
land. bank hearing yesterday in the
federal building in Omaha before the
Omaha to have that bank.
in a hearing that lasted all day and
brought out an overwhelming mass
of facts, tending to show the state's
need of such an institution, and Oma
These two points were' made clear
ha's great advantage as the point of
location.
After hearing farmers, bankers,
colonizers and loan men all forenoon
and half the afternoon, the board sud
denly turned to the Omaha case, and
Francis A. Brogan of Omaha went on
the stand to present it.
Mr, Brogan asserted Omaha had
been located logically and necessarily
by the natural rtend of commerce and
industry, and in the heart of the agri
cultural region. He suggested as ;
tentative district for this bank, Ne
braska, Iowa, South Dakota and
Wyoming.
Omaha Logical Location.
"If there were no Omaha on the
map, a practiced eye could discern
where it would naturally be and
where a great city would develop,"
said Mr. Brogan, "just as astronomers
are able to determine the location of a
certain planet long before they have
been able to locate it in the heavens
with a glass." He showed that within
300 miles of Omaha there is nothing
in the way of industry but agriculture.
It l thad been determined, ne said,
'to establish one such bank, instead
of twelve, Omaha would still have
been the logical place in which to
make the experiment."
Mr. Brogan furnished the board
with several maps specially prepared
for this occasion, showing the rail
roads and trunk lines that converge in
Omaha, and other maps showing the
zones in which mail is delivered from
Omaha in six hours after it is mailed
here, and in twelve hours and eight
een hours.-.
Present! Some Figures.
He showed that there are seventy
seven passenger trains out of Omaha
daily and seventy-six in; that thirty
six of them leave for, and thirty
seven enter from Iowa; eight leave
for, and ten return from Missouri;
six leave for Wyoming and seven re
turn from there, and that there are
seventy-two mail trains ut of Omaha
daily and sixty-eight in, and a lot of
other figures on train facilities.
He summarized the grain and live
stock figures, pointing out that Oma
ha annually received 7,000,000 gallons
of cream from the farms, and that it
leads the world in the production of
creamery butter In every way he de
veloped Omaha's importance as an
agricultural center, and then showed
the farm mortgage indebtedness of
the four states proposed for the dis
trict in 1910. These figures follow:
Iowa 120), 242, 723
Nebraska 62,373,472
South Dakota S!i,771,3fta
Wyoming- J '. '.. 4,207.98:1
Total $303,595,636
Omaha is the Distributing Point.
Mr. Brogan showed that there are
forty national institutions such as the
John Deere Plow company, the Ford
Motor company, etc., which have
found it necessary to establish branch
distributing points in Omaha and also
that there are 4,000 country grain ele
vators in the proposed territory.
In a brief of ninety-six pages the
vast store of information Mr. Brogan
presented was filed with the hoard
after he left the stand.
E. V. Parrish, manager of the bu
reau of publicity of the Commercial
club, went on the stand to state brief
ly the work o fthe bureau of publicity,
which, he asserted, is misnamed, and
is really a bureau of development, as
shown by the success of its great
seed-corn campaign of 1910, and other
campaigns. He assured the board of
the bureau's readiness to co-operate
in O-Cttinor infnrmit'mn i:
these banks disseminated throughout
.1. 61
tnc state ana adjoining states.
Bankers Favor the Bank.
Luther Drake assured the board
that the bankers locally were in favor
of a Federal farm loan banlt, had no
feeling in the matter and would co
operate. Everett Buckingham, general man
ager of the Union Stock Yards, as
serted that the stock yards is a mort
gage lifter, and in locating a bank
- the board need only follow the na-
tural lines which the live stock fol
lowed in finding its way to Omaha.
J. B. Swearingen, president of the
Omaha Grain exchange, developed
the subject of Omaha's importance
as a grain market.
John L. McCagne asserted that of
all financial centers the people (n
Omaha and the region around were
the best acquainted with the working
of such a banking plan, as they had
been so educated largely by .the large
building and loan business here.
T. C. Byrne said thM nearly $1 70,
000,000 worth of merchandise is dis
tributed from Omaha annually.
Presenting Other Facts.

Kaymond Robins, who was cha r-

them that Mr. Hughes' voice was
poor and that he would better' not

for ten minutes, disregarding signals
from members of his party to sit
