Kerrigan, president of the Central union: All members of all local are to re fuse all good, at home or on the job which la delivered by non-union team sters or truck drivers employed by firms who have publicly stated that they do not care to deal with organized labor. Team sters are to place union men with "fair" firms pending the outcome of City Com missioner Zimman's meeting with cer tain team owners, 81 nee there are 35.000 union men In Omaha representing 175, 000 citizens, the Omaha Central Labor union believes this to be the most ef fective method of dealing with the situa tion." Prior to the meeting of the Cen tral body Commissioner Zimman is understood to have requested offi cials of that body to postpone defi nite action pending the outcome of his attempt to bring the two fac tions involved in the strike, to gether. Officials of the Teamsters and Truck Drivers local stated that they would comply with every recom mendation made by the Central union. Resolution Endorsed. Following is the resolution pre sented by Thomas Reynolds and endorsed by the Central Labor union: Whereas, The mayor of Omaha was respectfully requested to take necessary steps to bring employers to a conference with committees from the Teamsters' Union, or the Central Labor union, to the end of settling the Teamsters' contro versy, and Whereas, In transmitting the employers' refusal to even meet representatives of organized labor, the mayor had no word of criticism of an action so autocratic ana contemptuous of the rlehts of the public, the chief sufferers in strikes and lock-outs, but. Whereas, In his talk to the organised returned soldiers known as the American Legion, the same mayor took occasion to maliciously misrepresent the stand organ- lzed labor has taken on the elemental right of labor to deal with employers through their own chosen representative, and to basely slander a class of citizens just as law-abiding as himself and with a record for soldiers furnished and loyl service rendered during the war, second to that of no other class, and. Whereas, His Indirect charges that r ganlzed labor plans to flaunt the red flag of anarchy In the streets of Omaha; that organised labor Intends to prevent the delivering of ice to the sick or milk for the babies: and that organized labor is planning a revolution under German . Influence, are not only basely fals., gra tuitously Insolent and maliciously slander ous, but are the utterances of a would-bc political kaiser, doing the business of un scrupulous moneyed Interest and are more calculated to create bolshevlsm and Induce anarchy, rather than to "uphold constitutional government and the ore serve peace, and, Whereas, Organized labor of Omaha and elsewhere has proven Itself as loyal to the constitution and more zealous In Its support than the man who authorizes the arming of employers to overawe and perhaps shoot down striking employes, and. Whereas, If anarchy threatens Omaha, It will be more largely the result of the autocratic refusal of certain employers to treat with organized labor and of the arbitrary and Insulting treatment by the mayor of the mora than 30,000 cltlzenn embraced tn Omaha unions than of 'he demand of organized labor that the city commission , compel employers to m?et with Its committees to settle the strike; now, therefore, be it Resolved, By the Central Labor Union of Omaha, representing 63 constituent un ions, of nearly 30,000 workers and law abiding citizens, that we hereby denounce the mayor's actions and attitude In this controversy as unworthy of a chief ex ecutive of all the people of a great city; as partial, arbitrary, and autocratio; as calculated to produce anarchy, and to de stroy respect for government and as de signed to perpetuate Industrial kaiserlsm as dangerous to the rights of humanity as German military and political kaiser lsm.
