OMAHA FACTORIES
STATE POSITION
Manufacturers Say They Do
S Not Ask Female Nine -Hour
Law Bepealed, But
Simply Suspended.
The Omaha Manufacturers' asso
ciation (eels that its move, to secure
a suspension of the nine-hour law
governing women's labor is not un
derstood by the public. It therefore
makes this statement signed by Wil
bur L. Burgess, president:
Omaha manufacturers have been
persistently misrepresented as to
their attitude toward the nine-hour
female labor law. They do not ask,
and they have not asked, tor the re
peal of this law. As a matter of fact,
there is no objection whatsoever on
the part of the members of this as
sociation to the operation of the nine
hour female labor law in normal
times of peace.
What we ask, and all that we have
asked, is the temporary suspension of
this law under clearly defined condi
tions. This is strictly a war meas
ure for temporary relief to help meet
the serious shortage of female labor
in food product and other factories
engaged in trying to fill army orders.
The conditions under which sus
pension has been suggested by us are
as follows:
First, that female be required
to tfork overtime, but that all over
time must be voluntary.
.Second, that overtime shall not ex
ceed three hours in any one day.
Third, That overtime shall not be
worked more than four days in any
one week.
We believe that what we ask is rea
sonable and should be granted, be
cause of war conditions demanding a
largert output. The present scarcity
of labor will become even more acute
after the second draft has been taken.
vMany apparently do not realize what
an extremely serious situation con
fronts us, but we who must look
ahead and plan ahead know .that the
facts are as set forth herein. The
nrrrssitv is real and most urgent.
Men in practically all branches of
industry have been working overtime
almost continuously since America
entered the war. and especially so on
army contracts. We do not suggest
that our women workers be asked to
work overtime without limit and with
out restriction.
All we ask is that the women work
ers who are willing to do so be al
lowed to worM overtime within rea
sonable limitations, as previously out
lined. '
Mayfield Explains State
' Coal Supply Situation
The Bee is in receipt of a lengthy
communication from E. 0. Mayfield,
member of the State Board of Con
trol, dealing with its effort to se
cure a coat supply ior ine iiaic inw
tutions under its charce. -'
Mr. Mayfield states that he made
a contract in May with a Kansas City
wholesale firm for 23.000 tons of coal,
to be delivered during the year. This
contract was canceled by the Kan
sas City firntf before any coal had
been delivered, at the instance, Mr.
Mayfield asserts, of Omaha and Lin-
-. . ,
com coai nrras,
E. E. Howell of Omaha was em
nloved as curchasinff asrent for the
board at a commission of 5 cents per
ton after considerable debate in board
sessions, it being his business to buy
coal tor the state in the market ana
look after its delivery. The other man
who was considered in connection
with this position asked a commission
of 10 cent per ton, and so in cngaK-
ing Mr. Mowcll Mr. Mayfield believes
the board made a saving to tne state
As the state institutions consume1
upwards of 41,000 tona of coal last
season, Mr. Howell's commission as
purchasing agent will amount to more
than
Along with Mr. Mayfield'a letter is
sent an opinion from Special Assistant
Attorney General Ayret to the effect
that Senator Howell's employment
does not violate the constitution, be
cause the office was not created bv
the legislature of which the senator
was a member. - '
MrA Mayfiald says he thinks the
, i state will have much trouble in get
ting coal during the winter. He pro
poses to advocate the passage of a
law providing for a state purchasing
agentwho will buy all supplies for
the several institutions.
' Fannirig Putting One pent i
n Stamps On Old Post Cards
Although none of the new 2-cent
rfcstal cards has been received at the
local postoffice,' only 2-cent postal
cards are being sold. One-cent
stamps have been affixed to all the
1-cent cards and they are sold at 2
cents. .This keeps any post cards
from getting into the mails without
aufficient postage. The rate on post
cards is 2 cents, regardless of whether
they are to be delivered in the city or
elsewhere. "

mighty drive to raise $500,000 to be
uscd,for the support of retired minis
ters, their widows and orphans.
The fund itself is to be permanent
the interest only to be used, which
will amount to approximately $25,000.
Adding to this all the present income
from all other sources makes the in
come sufficient to pay the retired ministers-
just about $400 a year on the

Railroads Rush Cars to
Move Nebraska Spud Crop
One hundred and seventy cars to
move the Nebraska potato crop are on
the way here on the Northwestern
line, according to telegrams received
by State Food Administrator Wattles.
The telegram stated that the cars are
on the way to Missouri river points
now, and will be "spotted" for load
ing in the potato belt of western Ne
braska by Thursday.
General Manager Holdregc of the
Burlington line also informed Mr.
Wattles that he has received authority
to use box cars and that this will
greatly facilitate the movement of po
tatoes in Nebraska, as this company
will furnish many cars at once.
Food Administrator Wattles is of
the opinipn now, with these new car
developments in sight, that the Ne
braska potato crop will soon be
moved in good shape.
Gillan Tells Rotarians
Of Omaha Factories
J. M. Gillan, manager of the indus
trial bureau of the Commercial lub,
was the principal speaker at the Ro
tary club luncheon held at the Hen
shaw Wednesday.
A plea for Omaha manufacturers to
.realize the great opportunities that
are now open for increased output and
enlargement was the keynote of Gil
lan's talk. Gillatt also explained to
the Rotarians the purpose of the in
dustrial bureau of the local Commer.
cial club and urged them to make
more use of the facilities in facts and
figures that are kept on hand there.
Major Walter Stein, U. S. A., of
Milwaukee, a visiting Rotarian, also
made a short talk, describing the re,
ntarkable growth of the Gate City
since his last visit here in 1899.
Old Corn is Higher and
. New Corn Takes a Drop
Old corn on the Omaha market was
in good demand and prices up 1 to 5
cents a bushel. That of this' year's
crop, however, was something of a
drug on the market, ana sold 10. to 12
cents off. The receipts of new corn
were light and that offered carried
a large percentage of water. Total
receipts were 24 carloads and prices
ranged all the way from $1.40 to $2.10
a bushel.

Nebraska Anti-Suff Still ..
Has Hopes for New York
"I want to wait and see what really
happens," said Mrs. L. F. Crofoot,

when asked for a statement on the
suffrage victory in New York. 'I still
hope the later returns will not bear
out the suffrage victory."
To Get Rid of Wrinkles
and Bad Complexion
It is more important now than during' the
period of profuse perspiration, to keep the.
pores clean. All cosmetics dog the pores.
In cool weather this interferes greatly wik

mercoliied wax serves all the purposes oi

better results. It actually peela, off n. of.
