BUTLER TO ASK
NEW HEARING ON
SKIP-STOP PUK
"
Mil Introduce Resolution in
Council Requesting State
Board to Again
Sound Public,
Briej City News
City Commissioner Butler states
r that he will introduce in the council
meeting today a resolution asking
that the mayor and city commission
ers request the State Railway com
mission to reconsider their action
in granting to the street railway
company the right to continue the
skip-stop plan indefinitely.
"I Believe that the circumstances
would warrant the state commission
granting another hearing in Omaha
on this subject," said Mr. Butler.
, "I am convinced that the public gen
erally is against the skip-stop plan,
and if it would be put to a vote
there is little doubt but that the re
sult would be five to one against
continuance of the plan.
Adopted During War.
"The skip-stop originally was
adopted as an emerge,ncy""Tneasure,
as a coaLconservation proposition,
but now that the war is over and
the company has been allowed a 7
: cent rate of fare, I hold that it is
time to abandon the skip-stop."
In an interview last week Mr.
Butler stated that the hearing held
here toy the state commission was
more of a joke than a real hearing,
and that the public had not been
given sufficient notice to obtain an
intelligent expression of public sen
timen: in Omaha on this subject.
Saving to Company.
k The finding and order of the com
mission which was received here last
week gave the street railway com
pany the right to continue the skip
stop indefinitely. The reasons as
set forth in the finding were that
; this plan of reducing stops afforded
; quicker and safer service and saved
for the company $59,000 per year in
the cost of coal and other items of
operating expense.
An expression of the opinions of
the city commissioners last week
indicated that they are generally
against the continuance of the skip-
stop.

BEWARE OF WILD
SPECULATION IS
ROBERTS' ADVICE
Grain Men Amazed at Letter
' of $2,000,000 Cora
"Plunger."
A "special letter" to farmers, grain
shippers and producers, sent out by
George A. Roberts, Omaha grain
man. who was reported to have
made $2,000,000 by plunging in corn
several months ago, is causing much
amusement among members of the
local exchange.
The letter asks farmers to protest
to their congressman against "wild
speculation." It reads:
Cites Break in Corn. ,
"July 28, 1919, No. 2 mixed corn
sold on the floor of the Omaha
Grain Exchange at $1.93. Septem
ber 13, 1919, No. 2 mixed corn sold
on the floor of the Omaha Grain
Exchange at $1.31, a break of 62
cents a bushel.
"July 28, hogs sold on the South
Omaha market at $21.40 to $22.25.
September 13, hogs sold on the
South Omaha market at $15.75 to
$16.25. a break of about $6.00 per
hundred.
"Corn and hogs on the Chicago
and Kansas City markets have had
about the same break as on the
Omaha market. This decline has
been brought about in a little over
40 days. No shipper of grain or
live stock can stand such radical
changes for any length of time in
these days of car shortages and
embargoes, to say nothing of the
enormous loss to the producer.
An Enormous Loss.
"September 8, the government's
estimate of the new corn crop was
2,858,000,000 bushels. The decline
in prices since July 28 would amount
to $1,771,960,000 on corn alone, to
say nothing of the enormous loss
on cattle and hogs.
"Ask the farmer if he was able to
hire labor any cheaper September
13 than on July 28, and if anything
he buys in the way of farm ma
chinery or anything else used on the
farm could be boug". t September 13
any cheaper than it could be bought
July 28.
"Wire your congressman pro
testing against wild speculation in
farm products which seems to have
been the cause of this enormous de
cline in such a short time."
The letter is signed by "George
A. Roberts Grain Co." Omaha graif
men call attention to Mr. Roberts'
protest against "wild speculation.'
as it was by speculation that Mr.
Roberts made large sums of money
on the Omaha market, they say.
When asked about the letter, Mr.
Roberts declared it was written
merely to protect his customers.
"It has no bearing on my personal
affairs," he said.
Grain Men Amazed.
Grain men expressed great amaze
ment when told of this philanthropic
attitude of Mr. Roberts, and are
generally of the opinion that in
reality Mr. Roberts is "long" on
corn.
"Mr. Roberts is not taking the
workingmen into consideration, it
seems," said Frank J. Taylor. "Most
of us think this decline in the price
of corn is as it should be. The
workingman is just as essential tQ
the farmer as is the farmer to theN
workingmen of the city."
Country Girl Tires of Work
at Home and Comes to City
A story of penury was told by
Mona Frances Carter 12 years old,
of Monroe, Neb., who was brought
to the police station upon complaint
of her parents that she had run away
last Thursday. The girl was found
working in a home at 1619 Pierce
street.
"I'm happy away from home," she
told Police Matron Gibbons. "I've
been working since I was 9 years
old. Life was too common in that
town, so I took $7 from mamma's
purse and came here. I'm strong,
know how to work and don't want
to go home, so wny keep me in
jail?" she said.
Her parents were advised of the
detainment of the girl, v
Council May Repeal
Drastic Law Against
Soft Drink Stands

The city council committee of the
whole yesterday recommended for
I i: - t: ,L..

section of a former ordinance which
provides that when the holder of a
soft drink permit is convicted of
violating the prohibitory law the lo
cation shall henceforth be denied a
permit for the lale of soft drinks. -Commissioner
Zimman interposed
an objection against what he called
an unnecessarily stringent regula
tion of soft drink places.
"Why single out soft drink par
lors? Why not include grocery
stores, cigar stores and ice cream
parlors?" asked Mr. Zimman. ""
"I think that the police depart
ment might be engaged in more
useful work than 1 watching soft
drink places," he added.
