THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY. MAY 5, 1917.
CHARGE EXTRA PRICE
TO UNIONIZED SHOPS
Electrical Contractors Who
Are Paying the Scale Are
forced to Fay Bonus.
FOKOED TO BUY IN EAST
Six electrical work contractors who
are employing union electrical work
ers and payin3 the union scale during
trie present electrical workers' strike
say that wholesale houses are (lis
criminating against them in making
them payiiigher prices for ma'erial
than they ever paid before, while they
are selling it cneaper to the contrac'
,t'jrs who are not paying the union
scale. r
Suits will be filed against wholesale
dealers in electrical supplies who
fuse to sell to the contractors because
they are hiring the union men.
The six contractors complaining are
the Mislevic Electric company, tiie
W. W. Houck company, the Cahill
Electrie company, the Frank Burk-
hart company and the R. Mustain
company.
"The wholesale houses are hold'ng
us tip for as high a price as they are
asking the individual," said D. L. Ca
hill of the Cahill Electric company.
ine wholesale houses always have
list price for their materials and then
it is customary to sell materials to
a big office building or similar large
customer at 5 per cent below the
list price and to sell to the electrical
contractor at 40 per cent below the
list price. Xhe list price is just
kind of basis from which to figure.
Jnow, however, we fellows who
are going on about our business, hir
ing union men and paying the union
scale as before, are being held up for
the list price, a thing that never
happened before. At the same time
the wholesalers are still selling to the
, Dig orhce buildings at per cent be
' low list price and to the other con-
tractors at 40 per cent below list
price. i
"We are confideent this is the work
ot the Jtlectncal Contractors asso
ciation, to which those paying the
.union scale do not belong. We are
sure the orders to the electrical whole
salers come from this organization,
for one of t'.ie wholesalers told one
of our small contractors he could do
nothing for him in the way of dis
counts until he fired his union men.
"That is pretty plain talk, and we
are taking steps right now to start
action against the association, and the
Western E'ectric company in partic
ular, on the grounds that they have
a combination in restraint of trade.
Buying From the East.'
"We are going ahead with our jobs
in the meantime and buying our ma
terial from eastern cities. We are
getting it shipped in here, payingthe
freight from 1,500 to 2,000 miles, and
still getting it cheaper than the price
the local wholesalers are asking us,
while they are trying to freeze us
put. What's more, when the strike
is ail settled, .we wilt continue to buy
' our material oittside of Omaha. These
are the men who talk about boosting
Omaha and patronizing home indus
try, and then they pull stuff like this
en us when we want to'buy material
from them.
"One of our sfaiall contractors, went
into a certain wholesale electrical
ltouse here yesterday to buy some
supplies and was told, point-blank.
t hat he haJ better lay his union men
off if he wanted any further credit in
iliat place, so you see we are be
ginning to find out their game. We
are bcgiining to learn the secret
workings of their scheme. They are
overcharging uc and refusing us
credit so long as we employ union
men. It is part of the hig scheme to
beat the unions and the strike. Be
cause we are willing to pay the union
scale and keep work going in the
city, they make it as hard as they can
for us.
The Omaha Business Men's asso
ciation is holding almost laily secret
meetings iJ. the Commercial club
rooms, where plans to defeat the
strikers m the building trades are
discussed. The union mm and the
contractors favorable to the union be-

Clears Complexion
Don't worry about blotches or
other skin troubles. You can have a
clear, clean complexion by using s
little zemo, obtained at any drug
store for 25c, or extra large bottle
at $1.00.
Zemo easily removes all traces of
pimples, black heads, blotches, ecze
ma and ringworm and makes the skin
clear and healthy. Zemo is a clean,
penetrating.antiseptic liquid, neither
sticky norgreasy and stains nothing.
It is easily applied and costs a mere
trifle for each application. It is al
ways dependable.

Itching is
unnecessarv
Resinol
stops it quicklyi
It is a positive fact that the
moment Resinol touches any
itching skin, the itching usually
stops and healing begins. Unless
the trouble is due to some serious
internal condition, it quickly
clears away all trace of ecxema,
ringworm, pimples, or similar
tormenting, unsightly eruption,
leaving the skin clearandhealthy.
Doctors prescribe Resinol wide
ly, so when y6u try it, you are
using a remedy of proven value.
Rtslool is sold by sll drucsUts.
