POWELL, BACK, SAYS AUTO MEN FAVOR SHOWS - 'A I Civic Bodies Also Endorse Ex hibitions as Big Stimulus to Every Branch of Business. C. G. Powell, secretary of the Omaha Automobile Trade associa tion, returned Friday from Cleve land, where he represented Omaha at a meeting; of automobile men held tc discuss the automobile show sit uation. Delegates from 26 cities attended and unanimously favored the hold ing or tne snows, in addition to representatives of automobile asso ciations and show managers, sev eral cities sent representatives from tntir commercial associations. Prominent among these was Robert . Lee of the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce. Stimulus to Business. Mr. Lee indicated the feeling of the business men of St. Louis in saying he heartily favored shows. "The business men of St. Louis feel that the automobile show is a great stimulus to business in general as well as a boon to the automobile industry," he said. Although the New York and Chi cago shows wilt not be conducted by the National Automobile associa tion, the dealers have decided to hold the shows at their own ex-I-ense. This will give individual dealers a chance to enlarge upon their own ideas and fancies to a greater extent than was possible whjn the shows were handled by" the national association. Floor Space Problem. j One of the problems which is giv ing the Omaha association great concern is the lack of floor space. The truck and tractor have come into prominence rapidly that a show without exhibits of this character would be very much out of place, it is stated. Some ar rangement will necessarily have to be made for additional floor space. as the present capacity of the Audi torium is insufficient, say automo bile men. Last year Kansas City spent $25, 000 to fiouse a tractor exhibit. Like- wise Minneapolis spent $20,000 in order to include tractors and ac . cessories. Minneapolis has begun Construction of a new auditorium, the primary object being to accom modate the automobile displays. In this connection, dealers point out that dealers in Nebraska contracted for $4,000,0000 worth of tractors to be told during the coming year. The Omaha Automobile Trade as. cociation wMl hold a meeting Sat urday at 12 noon, when a decision will b reached regarding the Oma ha sh6w and the dates for same.

Not for the purpose of beingf'ag- gressive, or to dictate to tne rail road administration, but for self- protection, railroad clerks state they are taking steps to becoming union ized. Already clerks in Omaha freight houses have organized un ions, amliating with railroad em ployes who are in the operating and mechanical departments. The organizing fi unions has been cut up to clerks in headquar ters and offices, but up to this time no action has been taken, though it has been discussed, and, it is said. looked upon favorably by most ot the men. In organizing clerks assert they have no desire to dictate wages or work hours, the principal object being to maintain a standard. Clerks believe that with the war ended there is a possibility wages may go back to the old level while living expenses may continue high. In this event, they say, wages would not be sufficient to enable them to live. By organizing and being able to present a united and solid front, they would be in a position to aid in holding wages up so long as living expenses continued abnormally high.

Officials at the fort have not re ceived definite orders that this plan is to be adopted but stated that it is a logical course of procedure and that it is likely that the men will be brought here and released.
