"Then Get Off Hie Streets of Omaha" . ; .This is the ultimatum issued by the Teamsters and : JTfuck Drivers' Union beginning Wednesday morning, to hundreds of peaceful, law-abiding citizens of Omaha, who were doingtheir regular work in the delivery of :milk, ice, groceries, laundry, coal, building, materials, and merchandise of all kinds, and to drivers for retail ; stores, ifianufacturers, jobbers, contractors, dyers- and ' cleaners, van and storage companies, and. those en ' gaged in hauling freight to and from the freight depots : of Omaha. To force thi ultimatum, organized gangs of union pickets, sometimes composed of a hundred or more v men, are stationed on the streets, near freight depots and business places, and at various' points j of travel. -f Every non-union driver seeking to carry on his lawful occupation is forcibly surrounded and stopped, is or-: dered to go at once to the Teamster Union Hall' and join the Union or to take his truck or wagon and 'get off the streets." ' Affidavits Prove These Facts .... .. . .. .X. : ,.. - . I.,!.."'' Hundreds of courageous and independent drivers - have refused to be coerced into the. Union. For that they have been punished by the mob, by being driven off the streets without delivery of their loads. . ; It masters not to the Union that the driver may have perishable $bods which must be deliverer. It matters not that he is receiving wages above the present Union ultimatum. It matters not that he is satisfied with his employment 'and his employer, that he is a peaceful and law-abiding citizen, that he has been an old-time resi dent of Omaha, that it is essential for him to work to support his wife and children, or that his employer has ' ho;men on strike. . It matters not even that he is a ,rei, turned soldier. In several instances returned soldier who have fought for freedom in France, and deSire now to resume their employment, have been . denied this ; right by Union pickets. ' "Get a Permit'' Says 'the Onion . The Union says to every non-union driver 'Join the Union. ; Wear a Union, button. Make y our em ployer sign up for a closed shop. Then we'll give you ;.; a permit to use -the streets without trouble." - This attempt to control the streets and public high ways of Omaha by designating with "permit cards" who may and who may npt travel pn the streets; is a con spiracy to usurp the government of Omaha. v It is an ; attempt at class government and rule of the mob, with-' out, basis of law a sharp turn toward -anarchy and ' "Bolshevism.

The ma1 -jority of them do not belong to the Union and are satis fied with their wages and employment. They arenot on a strike, but desire to continue their employment. They are only prevented from doing so because the or ; ganized mob of the minority blocks their course on the . .
