Two Prominent Building Owners
Eastern apartment house owners
and managers, attending the national
convention of the Building Owners
and Managers, are giving the western
ucicguics sooie suggestions witn re
gard to handling the rental problem.
At the apartment house conference at
breakfast, Ernst Sweet presiding, the
eastern delegates said that they send
collectors to the door of the apart
ment house dwellers every month.
Ihese collectors go to the doors
of the tenants, said one, "and they
have a bill for the rent in one hand
and the three (Says' notice to move in
the other. Tlney hand out the bill
and if the tenant doesn't pay on the
spot, he is haoded the three days'
notice. He has his choice. He must
take the bill or the notice. We don't
fool with them at all."
Not in Use Here.
While the Omaha and western fel
lows liked the audacity of the east
ern chaps in putting over this system,
they did not belierve they would like
to put it into effect here. They in
sisted that it was an old eastern cus
tom, and while it might work in the
east, they did not believe it would be
best here.
Some of the apartment house man
agers said they are absolutely refus
ing to rent on yearly leases now on
account of the serious situation with
regard to coal prices. They held that
they cannot afford to Aake a yearly
lease on a set basis of rental and then
allow coal to go up the way it did
last winter without the privilege of
raising the rental for the apartments.
Coal a Big Expense.
One Duluth man said he had kept
the furnaces going in a Duluth apart
ment house ten and one-half months
in the year.
Discussions of "Service," "Manag
ers' Compensation," "Apartment
House Construction from the Stand
point of the Investor," "Essentials of
Apartment House Management," and
other problems were discussed from
the floor.
Members of the Omaha association
took the visiting delegates and ladies
for a tour of the city in automobiles
in the afternoon.

Housewives generally do not under
stand as yet just what the pledge card
week means and what is expected of
them after they sign the food con
servation pledge the week of Octo
ber 14. The campaign to get these
cards signed up will be under the di
rection and management of the state
food administration.
rooa Administrator wattles savs
there are two principal purposes of
the campaign: First, to bring the
housewives to realize what food econ
omy means and get them to co-oper
ate wtih the government in conser
vation, and second, to get their names
on the pledge cards so that the gov
eminent will have a definite mailing
list through which it can communi
cate directly with the housewives
from time to time, as valuable sug
gestions are ripe for distribution.
Pledges to Co-operate.
There is nothing in the pledge card
that any housewife can object to. It
merely pledges her to co-operate in
conservation. Already a placard is
ready for distribution to the house
wives as soon as they are on record
so that they can be reached. This
placard contains some facts regarding
tood values of various foods, the lm
portance of certain foods to growing
children and the unimportance of
ethers. This card when once it finds
a place in the kitchen of every home
will be valuable as a reference when
a housewife wishes to know what she
may dispense with in the kitchen or
where she can put down her cost of
living without seriously handicapping
the proper development of the chil
dren.

REDICK REFUSES TO
STRIKEOUT PARTS
Holds Portion of Cross-Petition
Alleging Conspiracy Must
Stand; Hearing Sep
tember 25.
Judge Redick, sitting in equity
court, overruled a motion of Omaha
labor unions to strike out certain parts
of the Business Men s association s
cross-petition in the injunction suit
now pending in district court.
The motion, which was argued
Monday by attorneys for the unions
and the employers, referred particu
larly to paragraphs alleging "conspir
acy" on the part of the labor organi
zations. Three district judges granted a tem
porary injunction against the unions
and the business men several weeks
ago and the case will come up for a
hearing on its merits before Judge
Leslie September 25.
The strike litigation began last
spring, when Attorney General Reed
obtained a restraining orJer against
both the unions and the Business
Men's association.
Priests Not Expelled
From Mexican Territory
Mexico City, Mexico, Sept 12
Priests of religious orders have neith
er been expelled from Mexico nor
are they threatened with expulsion.
The hew constitution provides that
no priests or ministers of whatever
sect or cult, who are not Mexican
born, may discharge the duties or a
church oi hold a church position in
Mexico. While foreign-born priests
have been notified that they must give
up their parishes and charges, they
have not been threatened with expul
sion and may remain in the country
the 6ame as any other foreigner dur
ing good behavior.
A dispatch from Rome Monday said
the Vatican had asked the good of
fices of the American and British gov
ernments on behalf of priests and re
ligious orders in Mexico threatened
with expulsion from the country.

General Pershing to reconsider his
objection to having newspaper cor
respondents accompany units . of
American troops that sOon will be go
ing to France. He told the secretary
that the newspaper men were not
asking to go to the front or to de
scribe battles or campaign, but to go
with their state troops so as to let
the folks at home know how they
were getting along.

(By Aneorlatnl Frmie.)
a.Mmigu.n, .epi. i.. rvrponen , London, Sept.
activities ot German agents here and l Douglas Malcolm
in neutral countries to obtain posses
sion of American gold, it was learned
today, were largely responsible for
the recent proclamation placing gold
on the list of commodities requiring
export licenses.
With an enormously inflated paper
currency and with a gold reserve that
has been dwindling steadily since the
war began, the demand of the Ger
man government for gold has reached
proportions, where, according to re
ports received here, unheard of
methods apparently have been adopted
to replenish the store.
One report reaching officials here
is that German submarines in the area
arou:id Great Britiain were instructed
to remove gold from captured steam
ers, torpedo the vessels and bring
back the gold to their bases. How
far this alleged program has been
carried out, if at all, is not known.
A plan for obtaining a part of the
huge store of gold which has ac
cumulated here since the war began,
said to have been regarded with much
favor by German agents, is the ex
portation of gold to neutrals, ostensi
bly to settle commercial transactions,
but in reality to establish credit to
German firms operating in neutral
countries.
London Jury Recognizes
Plea of Unwritten Law
i berg, a pseudo count, was today found
I not guilty by a jury at the Old Bailey
police court. The case, which had
been characterized as a "dream of
passion," was the first to he tried here
in which the "unwritten law" was
the sole defense.
A coroner's jury had returned a
verdict of "justifiable homicide"
after hearing Lieutenant Malcolm's
plea that he had killed Baumberg "in
defense of his wife's honor." The
case was one of the most sensational
heard in London in manv years.
Washwomen of Chicago
Have Organized Union
Chicago, Sept. 12. High prices for
necessities of life have forced the or
ganization of Chicago washwomen,
it was announced here today. The
first demand of the new union will be
for an increase of 50 cents on each
wash, making the average price for a
day's washing $2.60 instead of $2.10.
The 10-cent loaf of bread and the
12-cent bottle of milk drove the wash
women into a union, said Miss Agnes
Nestor, president of
Trade Union league.
