OF EX-SOLDIERS
DURING STRIKE
Mayor Smith Tells Post That
Threat Has Been Made
to Carry Red Flag
on Farnam Street.
Mayor Smith and C. G. Mathews,
representing the teamsters' union,
( each appealed to the Douglas county
' post of the American Legion at the
meeting of that organization last
night in the Auditorium for support
" during the strike.
- "I have been assured," said
Mavor Smith," that an attempt to
; carry" the red flag on Farnam street
: would be made before July 4. What
are you going to do about it?
" "Tenr it down!" shouted a thous-
and lusty voices.
"I will look to the returned sol
diers, and the American Legion for
.'help tinder such a circumstance,"
said the mayor.
Mayor Smith took for his topic
the constitution of the 'American
Legion adopted recently at the St.
Louij caucus.
Towards the close of the meeting
C. G. Mathews appealed to the le
gion, as a representative of the
.teamsters' union, to assist that or
ganization in winning thes strike.
A "It was published in Omaha that
. soldiers "were raising a disturbance
because unable to find employment
.driving trucks during our strike,"
said Mathews. "We have investi-
- gated this, and find the reports
iWere untrue?"
Allan Tukey declared that the le-
gion as a whole would take' no ac
tive sides in the strike matter, but
would fight for fye constitution.
Following Mayor Smith's talk
the Rev. Mr. E. H. Jenks addressed
the gathering on memories of those
who had 'given their lives on the
battlefield. '
Pass Resolutions.

tion taken in pardoning conscien
tious .'objectors and giving them
honorable discharges, and further
condemning the I. W. W., interna
tional socialists, and anarchists met
with approval.
It was further resolved that the
Douglas county post was to demand
full and complete investigation of
the trial and conviction of conscien
tious objectors.
The use of a uniform of the army
forr the purpose of peddling from
door to door was heartily con
demned. The legion favored further recla
mation of arid lands for homes for
soldiers. A resolution to support
the efforts of ex-service men in find
ing employment was passed.
It was resolved, amid hearty
cheers, that alien slackers, made ex
empt by a law passed last year giv
ing persons within the draft age
who had taken out first American
citizenship papers the privilege of,
turning them back, thus avoiding
the selective draft, be sent back to
their respective countries.

Secular System of
Education in U. S.
St. Louis, June 24. The secular
system of e-ducation in the United
States was denounced as "patterning
after the German idea" and as "ma
terialistic" b speakers at the Cath
olic Educational association in an
nual convention here.
The Right Rev Tnomas J. Shan
ah, president of the Catholic univer
sity at Washington, and president
of the association, declared that
present-day education resulted from
modern materialistic philosophy,
and that such philosophical systems
had brought "Europe into ruin and
misery from which it would not re
cover for" centuries."
"It is the Christian mora! exam
ple," he vociferated, "the Catholic
education and spirituality, that must
be relied upon to counteract the ef
fects of this philosophy."
In a paper written by Cardinal
William O'Connell, it was declared
state monopoly of education had
made Prussia what it. is" today, and
attacked the constitutionality of a
government-controlled system of
education on the ground that re
ligious freedom was safeguarded to
citizens of the United States.
"In the matter of education, wc

clared the cardinal, "a program

PACKING BILLS
TERMED "FADS"
BY BUCKINGHAM
Union Stock Yards Company
Manager Ridicules Idea of
Government Control
of Meat Industry.
That the packing Industry and the
Standard Oil company were the only
two great businesses, the govern
ment of the United States not ex
cepted, organized on a war basis at
the beginning of the war with Ger
many, was the statement yesterday
of Everett Buckingham, general
manager of the Union Stock Yards
company.
Mr. Buckingham ridiculed the
recent efforts of Senator Kendrick
of Wyoming and Senator Kenyon of
Iowa In presenting bills in congress
calling for federal control of the
packing industry, describing the
bills as "fads," "ideas" and
"theories" of day-dreaming politi
cians. "Tho packing business is the larg
est single business in the world,"
Mr 'Buckingham said. "So large, in
fact that these men we call senators
and who advance theories as to how
the Industry shall be managed have
no Idea of its vastness.
"The only two great businesses
organized when the war broke out,
the government of the United
States not excluded, were the pack
ins industry and the Standard Oil
company. Whenever the countries
at war wanted a car of meats in five
days they got it."
Three bills, now pending in con
gress, call for federal regulation of
the packing industry. The Kenyon
bill introduced this week, calls for
the "divorcing" of the packing
houses from the stock yards by the
abolition of the so-called "inter
locking directorates" and the licens
ing of the stock yards company.
"If the change comes, what will
be the effect?" Mr. Buckingham was
asked.
"There won't be any change," Mr.
Buckingham replied. "The stock
yards and packing houses will oper
ate just the same as usual. The
yards company can be 100 miles
away from the packing center so
far as we are concerned and the
industry would progress as usual.
The packing business is as large as
the government itself and it is fool
ish for a lot of grandstanders to
theorize on how it shall be con
ducted." Stationary Engineers
At Armours Want Pay
For 7 Days and Work 6
Following a demand of stationary
engineers of Armour &' Co. for
"eight days' pay for seven days'
work," or "seven days' pay for six
days' work," General Manager R. C.
Howe issued the following state
ment: "Skilled labor at this plant is be
ing handled strictly according to
regulations authorized by the De
partment of Labor at Washington.
We don't want anyone to work
seven days in the week. So far as
I know no formal demands have
been made."
Proposed Celebration on
South Side Is Called Off
The "big doins" on July 4 for
South Omaha is off. Though more
than $700 had been offered by busi
ness men as voluntary subscription,
the committee yesterday decided to
drop its plans.
"It would take more than $3,000
to make a celebration such as we
had planned to go,"one of the lead
ers said yesterday." We have but 10
days in which to complete arrange
ments, which is not enough."
-So barring a program to be given
by the Amalgamated Meat Cutters'
and Butcher Workers' association,
for which a speaker of national rep
utation will be invited, the South
Side will have no celebration.

City Engineer Pronounces
Krug Bathing Beach Sanitary
City Engineer Bruce made an in
spection tour of the new bathing
beach at Krug park yesterday.
"Every detail has been provided
for and taken care of," said
Engineer Bruce, in commenting on
the inspection. "The builders have
gone farther into the matter of
sanitation than I ever would have
imagined they would. My greatest
anxiety was of the sewage disposal,
but they have installed the
Kewanee sewage disposal plant
Which I consider the best there J
is for such a proposition and
I anm sure will give perfect
sanitation in that direction.
Then their equipment for filter
ing and purifying every drop
of water in the pool every two
hours, their laundry system for
taking care of the bathing suits,
towels, etc., taken all-in-all, I would
say it will be the most modern and
most sanitary beach in the country
and should prove to be a great at
traction and an asset to Omaha."
The new bathing beach is nearing
completion and will be open to the
public in a few days, was the an
nouncement of the manager. '

TIGER OF FRANCE
TO RESIGN WHEN
TREATY SIGNED
Hope for Which He Dedicated
His Life Will Be Realized
With Signing of
Terms.
Paris, June 24. Premier Clemen
ceau has expressed his intention to
resign from office as soon as the
treaty is promulgated, feeling that
he has accomplished the task for
which he assumed his premiership,
says Marcel Hutin in the Echo de
Paris. It is expected that Parlia
ment would ratify the treaty late
in July.
"We have waited 49 years for
this moment," exclaimed Premier
Clemenceau as he opened the dis
patch announcing that Germany
would sign the treaty, at the meet
ing of the council of three yester
day. "For 49 years," he continued,
"the mailed fist of the teitre (Ger
man trooper) who has "governed
Germany, has menaced the world.
Whether the man's name was Bis
marck or William II, it was still the
same reitre of the middle ages sur
rounded by soldiery and drunk with
pride.
"Be careful; keep your powder
dry. Be careful. Remind the world
that it is living on a barrel of that
powder.
"This retires the dogma that
might is right, that a state's only
obligation is its own interest, that
treaties do not exist when they
clash with the interest of a state,
and get rich by any means. We
know from witnesses who were at

who posed as a keeper of the peace,
