THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 1919.
DELAY STRIKE
MOVE UNTIL CAR
HEAD RETURNS
Employes Overwhelmingly In
Favor of Walkout Is Report
After Vote Is
Taken. J
Officials of the street railway
men's union delayed strike action
yesterday when they were in
formed that President Hamilton of
the Omaha nd Council Bluffs
Street Railway Co., had left Los
Angeles, Cal., and would arrive in
this city Sunday to discuss the de
mands of the men with union rep
resentatives. The vote on the matter of imme
diate action to enforce demands
submitted to the company about 10
-days 'ago was overwhelmingly in fa
vor of immediate suspenson of work.
Allen H. Burt, member of the na-'
tional executive board of railway
employes, who is in this city, de
clared yesterday. The decision
of the men was announced to the
corncany at 10 yesterday morning
by a1 committee consisting of Ben
Short, president of the Omaha local;
C. H. .Taulker, financial secretary;
J. F. McMillan, recording secretary,
and G. F. Whitlow. Assistant Gen
eral Manager Leussler represented
the company at the conference.
Voting on the question of imme
diate action by the street car men
was conducted Thursday night after
a continuous session at the Labor
temple, beginning Wednesday
morning.
Discussing the demands of the
nwn, which include restoration ol
seniority rights lost in the strike of
1909, increased wages up to 65 and ;
70 cents an h,our and improved
working Conditions, Mr. Burt stated
that but little difficulty would re
sult from the "closed shop" clause
included in the demands.
Mr. Leussler stated that the com
pany was moving as rapidly as pos
sible to avert the threatened ac
tion by their men. President Ham
ilton's hurried departure from Los
Angeles was cited as proof of the
company's willingness to do all in
its power to avoid a strike.
Omaha Will Become
New Navy District
Headquarters Soon
The navy will establish perma
nent western central recruiting
headquarters in Omaha according
to a dispatch from Washington, re
ceived Friday by Ensign C. N. Mass, J
chief recruiting officer here.
Capt Wilbert Smith, U." S. N.,
formerly commanding officer of the
U. S. S. Hancock, attached to the
American overseas patrol fleet dur
ing the war, has been ordered here
from the Atlantic coast district to
assume command. He is expected
soon.
"The announcement that the
western office will be established
here," Ensign Maas said, "is a
feather in Omaha's cap. Captain
Smith will be ranking military of
ficer here.
"Since the creation of the Great
Lakes naval training depot at Chi
cago in 1917, and the subsequent
success of the venture, the Navy de
partment has come to regard the
middle-western states as excellent
hunting grounds for retruits."
Recently the Omaha office was
complimented by headquarters at
Washington for its splendid show
ing in obtaining recruits, having led
such cities as Cleveland, Detroit,
Cincinnati, St. Louis, San Francisco
and Los Angeles, in results ob
tained. , The new. district commander will
establish offices in a downtown
business building, as is the custom
in larger cities. The Omaha dis
trict controls enlistments in Iowa,
South and North Dakota, Kansas
and Nebraska.
or Wants Law to
wind Autos of All
Speed Limit Violators
An ordinance providing that the
automobiles of persons convicted of
speeding shall be impounded from
10 to 90 days may become part of
s the city laws of Omaha soon. Mayor
Smith is the originator of the idea
and he asked City Attorney Weaver
today to give him a legal opinion on
the validity of such a law.
"Something must be done to curb
speeding and the use of glaring
headlights in the city," said the
mayor. "Fines don't seem to an
swer the purpose, but if we convict
. a man of speeding and then impound
his car for a month or two, I think
the punishment will be such that he
will feel it everyday and me mem
bers of his family will call it to his
attention every day. When he gets
his "car back and pays the storage
on it for the time it was impounded,
he will be mighty careful to obey
the automobile regulations."
s If the city attorney says such an
ordinance would be legal, Mayor
Smith will prepare and introduce it
next week.
Omaha Rotarians to
Be Guests of Bluffs'
Club at Big Outing
Members of the Omaha Rotary

The joint meeting is in -accordance
with a request of the international
president, that, Rotarians devote the
