CENTRAL LABOR
UNION DECIDES
AGAINSTSTRIKE
(Continued From Face One.)
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.
