AGAINST
STRIKERS
Three Are Cited to Court for
Disregarding Injunction;
Teamsters and Employes
. Both Make Claims.
Fully half of the striking team
sters and truck drivers, who walked
out Wednesday to enforce their de
mands for increased wages and
recognition of the union will be
back at work this morning after
mbre than 300 of the firms employ
ing the men had acceded to every
request made by the union, accord
ing to a statement issued at the
union headquarters. '
Officials of the affected firms de
clared that these figures could not
be right since less than 1,000 men
obeyed the strike order and the
principle firms have not settled.
In a statement supported ry every
large firm affected by the strijee it
ischarced that union men are at
tempting to make Omaha a "closed
shop" city.
Officials of the principal com
panies involved, in the strike stated
that they were willing to confer
w;th their own men but would not
discuss the rnatter with a com
mittee of the strikers.
Filet- Contempt Charges.
Attornev General Davis has filed
contempt charges against three
strikers who are charged witn nav
ine disregarded . the injunction
issued by the district . court two
years ago. The injunction enjoin
the strikers from intimidating em

threatened and . assaulted - Louis

Merchants Express company.
Emphatic denial of the charges
that the present strike of the team
sters, truck drivers and helpers was
in reality an attempt on the part of
he union forces to put the closed
shop policy into effect in this city
was made by officials of the union
Wednesday evening. The denial
was called forth by a statement is
sued by Mayor Smith and the em
ployers recommending that no con
ference with a striker's committee
be held and that the question of a
closed shop should not be arbitrated.
Do Not Demand Closed Shop.
"The teamsters," declared Robert
Vaughn, chairman of the strikers
.ohference committee, "are not de
manding a closed shop. We do de
mand the right to bargain with our
employers collectively and to organ
ize on the job. We do not ask that
employers sign any agreement or
contract with the union.
It . was explained that union offi
cials had asked assurance of . all the
employers who had given in to their
demands that the union "fair" card
should not be used by any non
union teamster or truck driver. Thi3
was done in order to enable more
effective picketing of the , un
organized men. The employers, it
was stated, had probably construed
his to mean that a closed shop was
demanded.

legislature for Russia to which the
government of Russia must be re
sponsible or, if at that time order
is not sufficiently restored, they will
summon the constituent assembly,
elected in 1917, to sit until such
time as new elections are possible.
"Secondly, that throughout the
areas which they at present control
they will permit free elections in
the normal course for all local and
legally constituted assemblies, such
as municipalities, zemstvos, etc.

nance no attempt to revise the spe
cial privilege of any class or order
in Russia.-:-
"The allied and associated .pow
ers' have noted with satisfaction the
solemn declaratldn made by Ad
miral Kolchak and his associates
that they have no intention of re
storing the former land system.
They feel that the principles to be
followed in the solution of this and
other internal institutions must be
left to the free decision of the Rus
sian constituent assembly; but they
wish to be assured that those whom
they are prepared to assist stand for
the civil and religious liberty of all
Russian citizens and will make no
attempt to reintroduce the regime
which the revolution has destroyed.

"Fourthly, that the independence
of Finland and Poland be recog
nized and that in the event of the
frontiers and other relations be
tween Russia and these countries
not being settled by agreement they
will be referred to the arbitration of
the league of nations.
"Fifthly, that if a solution of the
relations between Esthonia, Letvia.
Lithuania and the Caucasian and
trans-Caspian territories and Russia
is not speedily reached by agree
ment, the settlement will be made
in consultation and co-operation
with the league of nations and that
until such settlement is made the
government of Russia agrees to
recognize these territories as auton
omous and to confirm the relations
which may exist between their de
facto governments and . the allred
and associated governments.
"Sixthly, that the right of the
peace conference to determine the
future of the Roumanian part of
Bessarabia be recognized.
"Seventhly, that as soon as a

nations and co-operate with the
other members in the limitation of
armaments and of military organiza
tions throughout the world.' .. -'
"Finally, that they abide by the
declaration made by Admiral Kol
chak on November 27, 1918, in re
gard to Russia's national debt.

will be glad to learn as soon as pos
sible whether the government of
Admiral Kolchak and his associates
is prepared to accept these condi
tions, and also whether in the event
of acceptance they will undertake to
form a single government and army
command as soon as the military
situation makes it possible."

Berlin, "June 12.-r-(By the Associated Press.) Condi
tions in Budapest, especially those incident to the shortage
in metal money, are described by a special correspondent of
the Tageblatt of Berlin. Bela Kun, the communist leader,
the correspondent says, has issued a huge amount of paper
money with which all labor is paid but which the peasants
refuse to accept, with the result that two pounds of beef cost
the equivalent of $24 to $2B at the peace time rate of ex
change and two pounds of fat
"The weekly meat ration," the cor
respondent continues, "has fallen
from 750 grams to 120 grams.
Bela Kun has given permission for
residents of Budapest to make per
sonal trips to the country to col
lect food, allowing them to bring
in 50 pounds, but even that is use
less because the peasants will not
take paper money, declaring it is
worthless.
"The latest Bela Kun plan to re
lieve the situation is to send the
'unproductive classes' and other
bourgeoise to the country. He also
is considering a plan of resmelting
KNOX WINS IN
SENATE FIGHT
TO BAN PACT
Foreign Relations Committee
Reports Favorably On Reso
lution Asking Separation
of League From Treaty.
Washington, June 12 The reso
lution of Senator Knox, of Penn
sylvania, a former republican secret
tary of state, to have the senate de
clare definitely it cannot accept the
league of nations interwoven with
the peace treaty, was put on - the
calendar of the senate for consider
ation early next week.
In reporting the measure the for
eign relations committee amended
it, however, to strike out the sec
tion, which would have declared it
a policy of the American govern
ment to co-operate in combating
any future menace to the peace of
Europe. -.
The provision was eliminated by
friends of the resolution after it
became apparent that otherwise fa
vorable committee action on the
measure might be endangered. 1
On the motion to amend, as well
as on the final vote for a favorable
report, all the democratic members
voted in the negative, and in each
case they were joined by Senator
McCumber, republican, of North
Dakota, a league supporter. On final
approval the vote stood 8 to 7.
When the measure comes up the
first of the week, its supporters will
try to press it to an early vote so
that .if adopted it will reach the
Versailles conference before the
signing of the treaty. - The league
supporters are expected to make a
bitter fight against any such action.
While" they disclaim any intention
to conduct a filibuster, they say they
will not permit a vote until the res
olution has been discussed Ht length.
Army Appropriation
Bill Is Held Up by
Parliamentary Tiff
Washington, June 12. Final ac

as the result of a brisk parliamen

using any part of ..the appropriation
or any unexpecteds balances now in
its possession for the purchase of
additional lands for army purposes.
Reductions totaling $90,500,000
were made, reducing the total from
$810,000,000 to $718,650,000, or $535,-
000. 000 less than original war de
partment estimates. . s
Representative Madden, republi

purchased near Camp Benning, Ga.,
at a cost of about $7,000,000 for a
small - arms practice field, even
though a similar field existed . at
Fort Sill, Okl. He characterized
this as a "criminal misuse of the
government's money which should
be considered the same as embezzle
ment." R epresentative McKensie,
republican, of Illinois, asserted that
this was only one , of numerous
"flagrant abuses."

stated.
Further. Confidence Gained.
The strike leaders gained further
confidence through adoption by the
American Federation of Labor of
a resolution pledging moral support
to the strike called for June 16, by
the . International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers. The union men
claim the brotherhood has a mem
bership of more than 100,000, which
includes the bulk of the union tele
phone oerators throughout the
country. Charles Ford, secretary
of the brotherhood, denied reports
that some of the members already
had walked out in sympathy with
striking telegraphers.
S. J. Konenkamp, president of the
Commpercial Teiegrahers' Union of
America, who is directing the strike
from . headquarters .here, after . a
number of long distance telephone
conversations with .eastern repre
sentatives, declared assurance had
been given that the broker operators
in New York would join the strike
as soon as developments warranted
such action. .
Meanwhile officials of the West

claim that the strike has been a
complete failure, so far as that com
pany is concerned., and officials of
the Postal Telegraph company as

Paris. Tune 12. Marshal Fork and
General Veygand had two con
ferences Wednesday with Premier
Clemenceau, at which they discussed
the question of an immediate ' re
sumption of hostilities and a con
certed advance by the allies;' says
Marcel Hutin in the Echo de Paris.
The general opinion is. the writer
adds, that Count von Brockdorff-
Rantzau has committed himself too
farvto be able to sign the treaty.
-i also is believed that the Scheide-

expectation is that actual delivery
of the document to the Germans
will not take place before Saturday

The agreement concerning the ad
mission of Germany is the same as
drawn by Lord Robert .Cecil and
Colonel House, with the omission
of the fourth condition, requiring
Germany to abandon compulsory
military service. M. Clemenceau,
president of the conference,' con
tested this condition . as likely to
precipitate the same . question , in
France and the council , finally
dropped it. No time has been fixed
for Germany's entrance, but, if she
conforms to the conditions, it is
expected that she will be repre

Juarez, June 12. After a' day of
anxiety Juarez is still in the hands
of the forces of the federal govern
ment ' Rebel troops are reported on
three sides of the town at distances
variously estimated at from 2 to 20
miles, the latter estimate being that
of the federal commander,. Gen,
Francisco Gonzalesv ,
Several times during the day
there have been reports that - the
rebels were coming, which caused sf
scurrying indoors, but each time the
report Droved false. - t
The military authorities are re
ticent about the whereabouts of the
rebels, b,ut the general belief is that
to the east of Juarez they are just
beyond rifle range of the federal
trenches. This belief is confirmed
by observers with field glasses who
watched dust clouds moving from
the southeast, indicating the pres
ence . of a considerable -force of
mounted men. y '
Five hundred federal cavalry who
left in that direction early this
morning had not returned up to 8
o'clock tonight, but General Gon
zales says he has been in. constant
touch with them through runners. '
