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.

PLAN UNIONS TO
CONTROL WAGES

Excessive.
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.

Union Pacific to Take Over

Early in December the Union Pa

aaiioon companies in overseas
service may be brought to the Fort
Omaha Balloon school foe demobili
zation, according to information re
ceived in Omaha.
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.
Demobilizing thousands of sol
diers is an enormous task. Each sol
dier is given honorable discharge,
pay to the date of his release and
an allowance of ii cents a mile
travel expenses to his home or to
the place where he enlisted. All of
this requires an enormous amount of
bookkeeping.
Fort Omaha will be a permanent
army post and it is likely that it I
will be used as a clearing house for
