'RAISE IN WAGES
CAUSES SURPLUS
I OF LABORING MEN
- Cudahy Plant - Experiences
Rush of Applicants for Work
Jor the First Time in
1- i Months.
f 7
f A surplus of unskilled labor has
v jresulted from the recent wage in
creases granted to packing house em
ployes, according to M. K. Murphy,
manager of the Cudahy plant
"For the first .time in many months
we nave had to turn men away be
cause we did not have work forUhcm.
This extraordinary rush of men to
obtain work here is due, to the fact
that under the recent ruling of Judge
Altschuler higher wages will be paid
in the packing industry than in almost
ny other kind of unskilled labor."
the new wage scale, effective May
5, calls for 40 cents an hour for an
eight-hour day for common labor, and
50 cents an hour for the next two
hours, so that a man working 10
hours a day will earn $4.20. Under
the old scale, $275 was paid for a 10-
iiour day,
Many men who have heretofore
worked in the plant during the win
ter and gone to the tarms during, tne
summer where they could get better
wages,' will now remain at the plant
the year around, Mr. Murphy said.

METCALFE DENIES
PETERSON CHARGE
Declares He Did Not Assert
Nebraska Was Disloyal;
' Merely Recited Facts
From Official Reports.
Richard L. Metcalfe gave to The
Bee this statement, following publi
cation of an interview with C. Petrus
Peterson, city attorney of Lincoln, in
wasningion:
"I do not know what the peculiar
animus of C. retrus Peterson of Lin
coin is that in a Washington interview
printed in The Omaha Bee of April
23 he should charge that in my ad
dress before the Americanization
meeting, held at the national capital,
I charged that Nebraska is a dis
loyal state. Of course, I did nothing
of the kind. Former Senator Lafe
Young of Iowa had paid a glowing
tribute to the patriotic efforts of his
people, and then he told, in a graphic
way, of the difficulties they had had
to contend with in puttintr.dowh trea
son and German propaganda. He also
referred to German propaganda in
the schools. Secretary of the Interior
Lane, presiding, said that he under
stood that Nebraska had had some
difficulties along this aline and he
called upon me to describe them.
"I told of Nebraska's patriotic ef
forts and said that, like Iowa, we had
had many difficulties to meet, but we
had met them in an uncompromising
spirit. I said we had taken the posi
tion' mat would hold good even if
this war were to conclude tomorrow,
that nothing but the language of the
country should fee taught in grade
schools, public or private. That view,
by the way, was endorsed by the
Americanization meeting itself.
"It is true that the showing of the
things we had had to contend with
startled the delegates, but gentlemen
from other states gave similar in
stances of pro-German propaganda."
Defends Metcalfe.
C C Georee of Omaha ma1
following statement in the defense of
Metcalle: Jf t
'I heard Mr. Metcalfe'..
Washington, and what he said was
that there were districts in Nebraska
where there twere disloyal Germans
whose utterances and acts had been
pf a seditious character, and he urged
the administration through the Na
tional Council of Defense to speedily
pumsn gucn onenaers.
the governors and members of
State Councils of Defense of about 20
states made similar complaints about
conditions in their states, and like
wise urged the immediate enactment
of laws that would provide punish
ment to ht the crimes committed. Mr.
Metcalfe did not say that Nebraska
nor that Nebraskans were disloyal. On
the contrary he made it very clear
that the great majority of the people
of Nebraska were loyal and patriotic."

the nation's Fighting Forces
in the Great Military Caaps
A bird's-eye view of the country today would show a mighty pan
orama of military and industrial activities.
From the National Capital and from the army and navy centers
throughout the land these vast enterprises are directed by long dis
tance telephone.
The telephone lines of the Bin System famish service for fixe train
ing camps, the supply depots, the navy yards, military headquarters
and coastguard stations.
- In hundreds of places throughout the country, telephone workers
are erecting poles, stringing wires and installing telephones to meet
the new and extraordinary demands for governmental service.
AH this telephone.activity is but a part of the vast military work
the Bell System is doing. y i
. ..'
The Bell System has organised and furnished to the government
fourteen complete battalions of trained telephone men, some of whom
are already building telephone lines in France with the army signal
corps while the others are now in camps waiting to' embark. A great
number of our men have also joined the national guard and other
branches of the military service or have been drafted. These thou-,
sands of trained employees-cannot be readily replaced. ' v
The telephone operators of the Bell System, also, are "doing their
bit" by making every effort to help give prompt and dependable serv
ice. These girls realize the tremendous dependence the government, in
this crisis, places on rapid telephone communication. These loyal and
efficient young women deserve great credit for the splendid work they
have done in handling the heavy telephone traffic the last few months.
The closest conservation of all kinds of telephone equipment and
the most economical use of the service is necessary if the telephone needs
of the government and the public are to be met Telephone materials
today cost practically double what they did two years ago.'
