THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1918.
RETURN LOADS
BUREAU PUSHES
DELIVERY PLAN
Central Truck Loading Station
: Location to Be Chosen by
1 Committee Named on
Thursday.
At the regular weekly meeting
Thursday of the executive commit
tee of the return loads bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce, which is
stimulating the use of auto trucks in
delivering merchandise to nearby
towns, three problems were taken
up and will be "pushed to the limit."
The first thing necessary at this
time to make this form of delivery
more successful is to have the coun
try merchant wherever and- when
ever possible order his goods deliv
ered by the trucks. .
1 The other two-problems facing
this bureau is to have men on the
various lines deliver regularly and
to have a central loading station in
Omaha. The latter proposition will
be attended to immediately and a
committee appointed to make the
selection of the location will report
next week.
A committee composed of C. E.
Stallard, W. Saunders and W. W.
Killer was also appointed to perfect
the classification and rate system,
which will be similar to the railroad
system. At present the same rate is
charged on all merchandise, whether
it is nails or delicate millinery,

ARTHUR MULLEN
CONSULTS WITH
BONDING HEAD
Lion's Tails Still Negotiating
for a Settlement Over
Claims Preferred by
Them.
Negotiations for the settlement
of claims preferred against the Lion
Bonding and Casualty company by
former employes, who once formed
the suborganization of "The Lion's
Heads," and who are now known as
"The Lion's Tails," are still in prog
ress. President Volpp, of Scribner, is in
the city, presumably looking the
situation over. He had an earnest
conference with Arthur Mullen at
noon.
-W. F. Taylor, who deniefl he was
a member of "The Lion's Tails,"
and who stated in an interview with
a Bee reporter that he had severed
his connection with the company in
February of the present year, is al
leged to have been carried on the
payroll of the concern for a number
of month at a salary of $200 per
month:
His position, it is said, was
manager of the accident department
but the duties of the place, it is said
were not onerous, and he devoted
very little time to the work.
It is alleged he was engaged in the
more lucrative occupation of sell
ing a bunch of stock of the company
which was put on the market at the
time he was given his new position.

shaft in a bucket, the Omaha men
continued to Ltfs Angeles and vis
ited Coronado Beach and other
points of interest.
