BIG RECRUITING
CAMPAIGN NOW ON
Business Men Boost Move to
Send Employes to Front, As
soring' Them of Positions
When Service Ends.
A, drive for 700 irmy recruits has
been started by Captain James Mc
Kinley, oi the Omaha recruiting sta
tion.- The riumber is Nebraska's quota
of the '70,000. men needed to fill all
regiments to war strength under the
president's recruit week proclamation.
Omaha business men 'have assured
Captain JIcKinley that they will' do
everything possible to aid in the na
tional campaign, which has been set
by President Wilson from June 23 to
JO, and is to be known as "recruiting
week."
Durirrg the same period the army
makes its drive; recruiting officers of
the Sixth Nebraska regiment plan a
campaign for; 600 men to recruit the
proposed Omtha battalion of that
regiment ito the required strength.
Omaha business men are backing
both campaigns. It is the hope of the
guard that a brigade of three regi
ments of Nehraskans may be formed
to be taken into the army at the same
time..
Guidon W. Wattles, of the Omaha
& Council Bluffs Street Railway
company, informed Captain Mc
Kinley that he would give preference
to any of his men who enlisted upon
their return from war and that they
would also retain their pension privi
leges. About 400 uniformed street
car-men arc subject to draft.
To Make Up Pay.
The Guarantee Fund Life associa
tion through its president, J. C Buff
ington, has promised not only to re
employ its employes who enlist, but
curing the period of the war servife
will each month make up the differ
euce between government pay and the
compensation they now receive.
M. H, Murphy, general manager of
Cudahy Packing company, has in
formed his employes that "upon re
turning, from' war their; old positions
will be open to them, and in fact
wherever possible they will be given
better ones and tliekt names enrolled
on the roll of honor for advancement,
whenever the opportunity occurs."
Omaha i .expected to frunish 400
men between the ages of 18 and 45
to make-up an Omaha battalion for

Omaha packers have been storing
hides while the price of leather shoes
and all other leather goods has soared
to an almost prohibitive figure.
Packers admit that the number of
hides on hand now is far above the
average at this time of the year. The
packers give various reasons for this
condition.
Unusually heavy killing of cattle,
refusal of tanners to buy the winter
hides because of long hair on them
and a possible combine among the
tanners to force prices down are some
of the reasons mentioned by the pack
ers for the large number of hides on
hand.
"My firm has about 50,000 hides on
hand at present," said one .-packer.
"This is about 10,000 more than usual.
However, the number is about in pro
portion to the take-off, as the killing
has been unusually heavy this season.
They are beinj held in storage only
the required time to cure them."
Another packer said: "The large
number of hides in the cellars of the
Omaha packers is due to the fact
that the tanners and leather dealers
are trying to buy them at about 5
cents below their real value.
Tanners Turn Bear,
"These hides were put down on a
certain basis and the sale of the beef
was based on prices at Which the
hides were put down, which was rea
sonable at the time. While we have no
conclusive proof, there was every in
dication that the tanners had 'got to
gether,' as practically no bids could be
obtained for t couple of months and
bids received were usually 4 to 5
crnts per pound less than previous
sales, .
'The result was that the Backers
had to hold the hides, notwithstanding
that they offered to make conces
sions of 2 to 3 cents per pound. This
question can be investigated and I
will guarantee that these are practi
cally the facts."
Regarding the storage of hides, H.
O. Edwards, general manager of
Swift & Co., said.-
"We have no more hides than usual
in proportion to the take-off at this
time of year. However, we have a
good stock because the killing has
been heavy and the tanners are slow
in buying the long-hair winter hides,
which are dirty, harder to handle, and
have a. greater shrinkage - than the
short-hair hides."
F. E. Ames, sales manager for Mor
ns Be Lo., said:
"We don't deal in or store produce.
and the cause for the high price of
hides is the general war demand for
leather, in supplying harness; also the
big demand for leather in the auto
mobile industry Storage has nothing
to do with the price. ' '
K, c. Howe, general manager ot
the Armour Packing company, said:
''We have 4,500 pounds of butter in
storage just on-hfth of a car, and
2,5-7 pounds of poultry, and wet would

"Regarding the storage of hidcswe
are selling them as fast as they .are

don't want on account of long hair,
dirt and shrinkage." 1 . ,r)

LASTING PEACE IS
TO RESTWITH GOD
Father Stagno Predicts Con
tinuation of Struggles Until
World Listen to the
Holy Spirit.
"So long as the world refuses to
listen to the voice of Christ through
the lips of His successor here on
earth, there will be war," Said Rev.
Michael Stagno, Sunday in a sermon
at (. Patrick's Catholic church.
"On account of his fidelity to
Christ, Peter was made the head of
the apostles and the visible head of
the church. Christ promised Peter
that he would be the rock upon which
the church would be founded, and be
cause of his faith in the Son of God.
he would be the earthly vicar of
Christ," said Father Stagno.
'He that hears you hears Mc, and
he that despises' you dispises Me,'
said our Lord to Peterv and yet when
the potentates of this) earth sought
to establish world peace, they would
not even consider the, visible head of
the church, the vicar of the Prince of
Peace, as a party to their councils.
He was refused a seat in their con
ferences, and because they dispised
God by dispising His successor and
the head of His church, all have
learned the horrors of war."
God Only Can Legislate. '
Father Stagno pointed to the fact
that it was Pope St. Leo, who saved
Italy from Attila, king of the Huns,
and that Nicholas V mediated often
between Germany, Hungary and
Italy. He reminded his parishoners
how Leo XIII was chosen, as arbiter
between Spain and Germany in their
dispute over the Carolinas. :
"Popes as far back as the year 440
and down to the present, day have
served as the apostles of peace, said
Father Stagno. "Man must be guided
in his relations to other men, not by
a human law, but by something superhuman.
God Himself is the only being who
can effectually legislate for his crea
tures and this he does through oar
holy father, the pope." .' ; ::: :
