THfa BEE: OM AHA. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1917. 2 SEED WILL REMAIN TO WATCH STRIKE Willis Reed Says It Will Amount to Treason for Defendants to Violate Restrain ing Order. Attorney General Reed, who on behalf of the state of Nebraska inter vened to put a stop to the Omaha strike, will remain here to see that the court order is carried out. He will personally represent the state at the hearing, set for June 27, before Judge Leslie of district court. The state's action in the strike situation is the first of its kind in the history of th United States, accord ing to the attorney general, tie sain lie could recall no similar action where a state has intervened to halt both narties of a strike. "If the condition of affairs prior to the issuance of the restraining order could exist under the law, then it must be admitted that civil govern ment is a failure," said the attorney gaeral. Man Has Right to Work. "No laboring man should be denied the right to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. Any government that tolerates it, or public officials who wink at or hesitate to enforce the law, are entitled to no place in our human society. "The law is adequate and I intend to use every means within the law to restore, and, if possible, better con ditions between labor and capital and the public than those which existed prior to the present strike or lock out. - Violation May Be Treason. "Should either side attempt to vio late the restraining order issued by Judge Leslie they may find to their sorrow that the federal and state gov ernments will at once proceed against such individuals for treason against the state and the federal government, because, in effect, it would be lending aid and comfort to our enemies and will not be tolerated. "Since the order was issued and many of the defendants served, labor ing men and members of unions have expressed their approval and satis- Red Cross Subscriptions in U. 5.

Entry of United States Into , War is Cause of Confusion (Csrrespondenc. of The Aseoatatcd Press.) Bristol, England, June 5-Nothirig since the beginning of war so stirred Bristol and surrounding country as the decision of the government, that owing to the entry of the United States into the war it was no longer necessary to proceed with the erec tion of the large explosives factory under construction at Henbury, near here. Nearly $500,000 had been spent and thousands of workmen had been engaged far weeks in constructing the factory which was to have been one of the largest in England, The order to abandon work came like a bolt out of the blue. Owing to the great extent of the factory, the order resulted in much contusion. Some of the contractora who had offi cial intimation of the government's decision ..eased work, while others, not having received instrurtions, pro ceeded blindly with their work. The result was that while others were busy with the work of construction, another grounp was as industriously demolishing those pertly built. This choatic condition proceeded for a week. Man Who Has Charge of Roads Responsible for British Success (Correspondence ot The Assootated Press,) Behind the British Lines in France, June 5. A considerable share in the success and rapidity with which the British armies were able this spring to follow up the Gcnians as they fell back from the Somme and Arras bat- tlefields is officially attributed to the building by the British of innumera ble military roads which have been completed on the heels of the German 'retreat. The officer principally responsible for maintaining this branch of com munications, under the direction of Sir Eric Geddes, deputy director gen eral of munitions supply, is Brigadier General H. P. Maybury, whose officia title is manager and chief engineer of the army roads board. He is in com- i mand of an army of road makers re cruited froiu towns and villages in Great Britain, where they were en gaged in similar work. Their number now runs well into five figures. These men, although almost without regular army training, are all organized in regiments with officers on the regular army model, and are equipped with modern plants and the best material. In Bsrlin Old Clothing is Bought by City and Resold (Correspondence of Tho Associated Press.) Stockholm,' Sweden,' June 5. Oh ing to the scarcity of clothing ma terial in Germany, the principal com munes of Greater Berlin have in , augurated an intercommunat clothing ' center, where old and worn clothing and footgear is bought by official ap praisers. These are renovated and re sold at the lowest possible figure, and it is possible to purchase a suit of men's clothes for from $3 to $5. More than '50,000 articles have been col lected and renovated. ' . ' of their food imports. We should be able to supply 60 per cent of what they require. The other 40 per cent must he made up by further denial on their part and saving on ours. We can increase our surplus. The situa tion for them next year means in creased privation. Without an ade quate food supply, no European popu lation will continue to tight and we shall find ourselves alone against Ger many. The Russian revolution was a food riot and even yet that ally is tempor arily paralyzed. Responsibility rests on our government tor latlure of de mocracy through a shortage of food." Speculation is Rampant. Turning to domestic conditions Mr. Hoover said this country had been experiencing unprecedented prices and rampant speculation," citing how middlemen and all other persons in the distribution processes have been purchasing increasing supplies to avert individual shortages. Mr. Hoover cited the canning trade as an example where the entire out put of vegetablei and fish for 1917 has been disposed of already, before it has even reached the canners. He pre- aictea lurtner nign prices. Thousands of men, he said, who heretofore have never owned a dol lar's worth of foodstuff, are now speculating in necessities. Bread Costa Less in England. "The average prices to the consum ers in countries where food adminis tration is now in effect are lower than those now prevailing in the United States," he said. "In England the Erice of bread is even 25 per cent elow the price we pay. "I believe that unless some ad ministration of our food is taken we will look uack at these prices as being moderate." Mr. Hoover denied that the bill establishes a food dictatorship. He characterized the purpose of food ad ministration aa to mobilize the people in order to carry out the advice given them by the government officials and to decentralize the functions of the administration in order to centralize the functions of the food administra tion into the various states. A commission to take charge of production and distribution of flour, sugar and possibly a few other prin cipal commodities, Mr. Hoover said, is being contemplated. ' Stable Prices Important. "Provisions for the government to buy and sell commodities will be necessary for use only as to a few prime commodities," he said. "The aim is to stabilize prices and thus eliminate speculation. The balance wheel for stabilizing prices is cone. We need an artificial balance wheel. By setting up a wheat commission we can buy wheat, regulate its storage and transportation and handle it un til exported or sold in this country. If we do not do this wheat prices may relapse on account of our not beina- able to store and carry it, with specu lators securing the sole benefit and farmers bearing the loss." Sugar and Flour, "We 'tan contract tomorrow with the allies for a certain return for every bushel of wheat we can sell. By controling prices at interior ter minals we can assure millers their supplies , and simplify transporta As to sugar. Mr. Hoover said American refiners are competing with the allies in Cuba, and that the pro posed sugar commission could co operate with the allied purchasers, the American rehners and Cuban produc ers, stabilizing and reducing prices, as wen as removing speculative incentives. The proposed anDronriatioii of $150,000,000 for government purchase of commodities, Mr. Hoover Said, might prove too small, but is needed for banking facilities. "We feel confident consumers nrices of suarar and flour will be re duced, as well as others, through our co-operation with leaders ot otner trades," he said. "We must have power to license grain elevators so that they may play their part in the team work ot he government. Questions by Gore. Chairman Gore of the agricultural committee and Senator Reed of Mis souri, leading the opposition to the bill, took a leading part in question iiicr Mr. Hoover. "The resort to these extraordinary powers is only because of the warr asked Senator Gore. "To provide not only more food for the allies, but for ourselves," Mr. Hoover replied. "Even if we had not gotten into the war we would have been up against tins tremendous de mand from Europe and probably driven to some legislation to protect our own people. . Mr. Hoover expnssly disclaimed authorship, personal interest or re sponsibility for the bill's provisions extending to fuels, declaring he was only interested in food. The provisions for commandeering lactones, mines and other plants, he aude I, wou.u not be necessary in ad ministering food Questions. Senator Reed referred to a section, which he contended would permit the government to take from cribs and bins grain stored there in excess of the amount actually needed by the farmer and asked Mr. Hoover's opinion regarding the enforcement. "As far as I am concerned, I would not attempt to execute it as far as the present situation appears, replied Mr. Hoover, Mr. Hoover also said the food ad ministration had no desire of regulat ing consumption of food as is being done abroad, saying that would be left to the voluntary will of the people. Senator Gore asked Mr. Hoover if he would deny to the farmer the right t! judge the amount of crops he should grow. 'If the government guarantees a minimum price, Mr. Hoover replied, "we might not get the beneficial re sult for the farmer unless we also have the power to limit imports." Mr. Hoover said "possibly" the bill should be 'amended to give farmers the right to determine their own production. "We don't propose to go to the extent of fixing consumers' rations," Mr. Hoover added, "except as to hotels, restaurants, etc., regarding the amount of bread portions to be served and the like. England did a foolish thing in trying to fix maxi mum prices, a failure wherever tried. "Do you contend that under the bill you can say to Senator Reed, for instance, that he shall eat a soup bone or a steak on certain days?" asked Senator Kenyon. "I don't think we have any such right nor should we have it," Mr. Hoover replied emphatically. "But we should have the right to suggest the use of a soup bone a day and see if we can reach any agreement volun tarily. Senator Reed insisted that legis lation is not needed to effect such voluntary arrangements, but Mr. Hoover said a law should authorize the food administration to that end. Two of the Airmen of Japan Fall to Their Death (Correspondence of Tho Auoolatod Proii.) Tokio, June 5. Progress of avia tion in Japan has again beeen attended with tragedy. Recently two men lost their lives by the fall of a machine one Prof. Seitaro Tamai, of the Nip pon Flying school, and the other, Reizo Yukawa, a photographer on the staff of the Nichi-Nichi, who had been taken up as passenger. Prof. Tamai was a capable aviator and had made several previous flights near Tokio, with passengers, on one occasion having successfully looped the loop. But when he ascended with the photographer, connecting wires broke and the aeroplane crashed to the ground. The peroleum tank ex- Sloded, and the two men, already adly injured, were suffocated and charred in the flames. REVENUE RECEIPTS PASS BILLION MARK Ordinary Payments Into Ted eral Treasury Beach This Sum for First Time in Nation's History. Washington, June 19. For the first time in American history ordinary re- ceipts of the treasury have passed the billion dollar mark in a fiscal year. The great sum has been anticiDated however, in the plan for raising war revenues and it does not alter the ad ministration plans for taxation, as all the available money from all sources will be needed. Up to todav the total was $1.015.. 381,817 as compared with $660,400, 953 a year ago today, an increase of approximately $355,000,000. The bulk of the huge increase is due to increased income taxes and earlier payments. A total of $294. 966,278 has been collected thus far this fiscal year. The next largest item is from other internal revenue totalling approxi mately $425,000,000, an increase of about $60,000,000 over last year. Customs receipts show a total thus tar ot $217,574,408, an increase of ap proximately $14,200,000. During the last twentv-four hours approximately $41,500,00 was received at the treasury, the lamest dav of the year inus lar.

A vote taken stood two for adiourn. mcnt ana one against. After the session had ariirmrneH Attorney Bigelow halted Chairman Cowell at the door and told him that he had no authority to adjourn the hearing as he or the other members had not heard directly from Governor wevnie. Chairman Cowell called the board together again and the hearing continued. Did Not Vote. Attorney Bigelow tl.en raised the question that George Norman, deputy iauui tuimnissioner ana secretary ot the board, had not been permitted to vote and that the adinurnmenr nn that ground was also out of order. Chairman Cowell gave in a little, following a heated discussion by At torney Bigelow in which the sertinne of the law dealing with the powers ana amies ot tne board thoroughly had been threshed over. Lpon a tie vote, Mr. Cowell ad journed the hearinir until 10 n'rlnrlr Wednesday morning, at which time Governor Neville orobahlv will arf. dress the board. Attorney Brogan, representing the employers, contended that the in junction hearing set bv Judo-u I.1i June 27 would be a much broader and wwer investigation than that of the board, and as a result the hmrrf should adjourn until court action. The opposite viewpoint was taken by Attorney Bigelow, representing the employes. He said: A court action would not stoo the controversy as to wages and the like. We want a thorough investigation into the whole matte' so that we can get down to the bottom of the trou ble and let the people know who is to blame. The light shed at the hear ing will help the court to make a luucr investigation. Cowell for Further Probe. Robert Cowell, chairman of the mediation board, held that in his opinion the board should not adjourn pending court action, but should be gin at once with the investigation. A. J.

"Ultimately the courts will have to settle the case. All we can do is recommend. I believe that the case will be settled by the court, which would leave us out As a member of the board I would prefer that the in vestigation go ahead." T. P. Reynolds, president of Cen tral Labor union, third member of the board, also was of the opinion that the investigation should continue. "We have no mandatory power and therefore cannot compel as the courts. The trade unions are in favor of see ing the thing through, so why should the employers object to the hearing." The court order came as a great surprise to both sides. "I hardly know what to say about it and am unable to discuss the matter at present," At torney Brogan stated. "There is this, however, we will obey the court order in good faith and to the letter." Attorney Bigelow for the trade unions said the same.

To Be Heard June 27. Judge Leslie signed an order set ting the case for hearing June 27. Supporting the petition are numerous affidavits telling of acts of intimida tion by which workers have been urged to join unions and prevented from going about their usual employ ment under threats of violence. The petition of the attorney gen eral sets out the history of formation of business organizations "not only of business concerns to protect them selves, but labor unions and organ izations, that . they might contend more succeslullv tor what thev be lieved to be right. The rule on which a strike is based is given with the penalty of loss of membership upon the union man who fails to obey the strike order. It is alleged that toleration of nonunion workers is not allowed, and though a nonunion worker be most highly qualified and conducts himself in a gentlemanly and orderly manner, un ion men will nut work by his side and will strilqe rather than do so.

There has been a letup in the se verity of the fighting on the British front in France and Belgium. Along the lines occupied by the French, however, a renewal of activities of a more intensive character is noted. General Petain struck the German lines in the Champagne yesterday a blow which netted the French a trench system nearly a third of a mile in length, thereby straightening out the French line along the hills be tween Mont Carnillet and Mont Blond, in territory vital to successful observation work, A violent German attack was repulsed.

S. to Stockholm Without Passport Stockholm, June 19. (Via London.) One of the three men who have come to Stockholm from the United States to participate in the Interna tional Socialist peace conference suc ceeded by his own admission in leav ing the United States and ultimately reaching Sweden, after his passport had been taken up by the American State department and he had failed in an effort to have it returned. This man is Boris Reinstein of Buf falo, who says he is empowered to represent the socialist labor party at the conference, but refused to say whether he is an American citizen. The others who accompanied him are Dr. Max Goldfarb of the New York Forward and D. Davidovitch, a Russian subject, who comes as a representative of the socialist and ter ritorialist labor Jewish party of Amer ica, of whose Russian sister branch he is a member. All three men declared they were opponents of the separate peace ef forts. Dr. Goldfarb has asserted that he was authorized to inform the Dutch-Scandinavian committee that the American socialist party was not in favor of a separate peace. Mr. Davidovitch said his sole pur pose in coming to Stockholm was to lay before the conference the program of the Jews represented by him and his Russian party comrades. He said he was a member of the. Mensheviki rather than the Bolsheviki group of tne Kusstan socialists. THOMPSON BELDEN &CO.
