Governor McKelvie opposed the proposition, because, he declared, it was unnecessary since the state laws already were sufficient and the proper authority had been vested in state officials to handle the situ ation. Will Force Issue. '. The governor made no mention of profiteering and rents in his call for the approaching session, but it is believed those who favor the issue will force it before the special ses sion, one way or another. Attention of the members of the legislature has been directed to the fact that the recent investigation of profiteering instituted by the attor ney general failed in accomplishing anything in the way of relief In the meantime, the clamor has increased, organizations of men and women are directing their attention to the members of the legislature in the hope that some action will be taken. Landlords Are Arbitrary. One of the strongest arguments that is being used in favor of legis lative action in the matter of profit eering is the arbitrary attitude of umaha landlords. Numerous instances of actual suf fering have been brought to light in this city. The Building Owners' and Managers' association of Oma ha, together with the Omaha Real Estate board, are accused of com bining to take unfair and unjust advantage of the situation afforded here by the limited number of apart ment houses and dwellings for rent to oppress the thousands of persons who are completely at the mercy of the landlords. The officers of the Omaha Real Estate board are W. R. McFarland, president; I. Shuler, vice president; W. F. Williams, secretary, and L. D. Spalding, treasurer. Stiir Boosting Rents. Other business organizations are said to be in sympathy with the rent profiteering here. Despite the repeated demands made on those who are charged with the responsi bility to explain, to date the only re sponse has been silent contempt on the part of landlords, who steadily are boosting their rent rates out of all reason and with no apparent justification. . : - . Organized protests and individual complaints alike have met with the same treatment. One of the chief causes of complaints which is being made by the tenants is the fact that children are excluded from prac tically every apartment in Omaha. Many Protests Made. Women s organizations, labor un ions and various other bodies have registered protests against this con dition, and the point has been made that fvnihes with children are being forced to ;eave Omaha as a result of the oppression of landlords. While Governor McKelvie has not yet committed himself on the subject of bringing the matter to the atten tion ot the legislature at a special session, those who appreciate the grave importance of the matter, be lieve he will agree some action should be taken immediately to check the operations of profiteers, chief among whom are the real es tate interests of Omaha. Would Fix Blame. "What is needed is not only an investigation which will fix the blame, but some arrangement by which the profiteers will be made to pay a penalty for the injustice they are inflicting upon the pub lic," declared an Omaha business man yesterday. ' "My rent rate has been doubled," he continued. "I have been look ing for an apartment in which to move for the past four months. I have been unable to find a place principally because the Omaha land lords will not permit my 2-year-old child to live in their houses. ' There are many Omaha landlords who would permit children in their apartments, it is said, but for the arbitrary rules of the combine. The rules have been subscribed to by the organization and if they are not ob served in detail and in every partic ular, the member violating them is made to suffer. The combine rules with an iron hand, it is said, and will not break the slightest violations of the rules, which were formulated by the rich real estate interests. Organizations Responsible. Some of the leading members of the Real Estate Board and Rental Combine, which two organizations are doing all in their power to Keep the matter of rent profiteering from being taken up by the legislature, are the following: George & Co. D. V. Sholes company. Payne Investment company. Payne-Slater company. Traver Brothers. Hastings & Heyden. Glover & Spain. Harrison & Morton. C G. Carlberg. Board Decides to Install Transformer at State House Tlnr-ntn nrt1.TfSnecial.WThe state house was in darkness nearly the whole forenoon Monday and in most of the offices little work could be dor.e. The transformer con nected with the electric" lighting plant at the penitentiary, which fur nishes the light for the capitol and other state buildings, failed to work, a thing that has hap pened quite frequently during the past two years, so the state board, which has in charge the building, met and resolved to install a 2.300 volt transformer in the heating plant wVl fr it nrill nn ir. it tit- jtf srmmie- -. . as v a, j uu vi sion whenever a raia drop falls j WO. the wtfH, i Washington, Oct. 13. Labor!s res olution proposing intervention in the steel strike will come before the National Industrial conference, with out recommendation from the ten tral committee, as the firjt order' of business Tuesday. The committee devoted only a small portion of an all-day session to consideration of the arbitration resolulicn. Owing to the opposition of a majority of the five members of the employers group in the commit tee a fatorable report could not be obtain;! and the resolution will fol low the only other possible course open back, to the main body of the conference. Expect Same Fate. : Members of the .conference ex pressed the opinion that the pro posal will meet the same fate at the hands of the conference. A strong majonty of the employers' group is known to oppose intervention in the strike and action can be taken only with the approval of each' of the three groups, voting separately, pel egates entertained but little doubt that more than half of the public representatives will vote for the res olution, but pointed out that in the employers group only the agricul tural representatives look with favor on the arb'tration plan. v uut ot deference to their fellow member Judge Elbert H. Gary. chairman, of the board of the United States Steel corporation, representa tives ot the public have never dis cussed the steel strike in their group meetings and it probably will be necessary for the group to take advantage of the 20-minute recess allowed under the rules to caucus prior to casting the unit vote on the arbtitration resolution. Substantial Progress. The central committee is report ed to have made substantial progress in devising a method of procedure for putting all the members of the conference to work." A number of subcommittees for consideration of specific problems, together with a policy for the assignment of resolu tions to those committees, will be recommended to the conference. Under this arrangement it ap pears probable that conflicting views on fundamental issues, such as the open shop, collective bargaining and the eight-hour day, will be threshed out and - a basis for agreement reached in these select committees. Magnus W. Alexander, managing director of the national industrial conference board, which has five representatives in the employers' group of the conference, issued a statement opposing intervention by the conference, in existing strikes and disputes. Six-Year-Old Boy Burned , by "Live" Electric Wire Six-year-old Lysle Lawson, 2614 Patrick avenue, hung by his hands for two minutes to a "live" electric wire yesterday afternoon near his home before he was taken down by a passerby.

It would be a bad precedent to have incorporated in the call for the spe cial session the provision, "and to enable Douglas countv to reimburse the state for the legislative ex pense," according to Governor Mc Kelvie, and so the matter will be left entirely for the county to at tend to afterward. The matter was gone into very fully by City Attorney Frank Weaver and John T. . Breen of Umaha, who consulted with the governor Saturday, and it was finally concluded that it would not be good policy to set the precedent of a county offering to pay the ex penses of a session if the session would give them authority to raise money for any particular purpose. So Douglas county will be put upon its honor and it will be up to it to keep the inferred promise to re imburse the state for the expense of the special session. Representative McHoover of Rich ardson county has notified the gov ernor that it is probable that he will be unable to attend the special session.

In anticipa tion that legislation to stop profiteer ing soon will become effective, the Department of Justice is putting the final touches to its plans for pro cedure when the new weapons are available. Attorney General Palmer has called a meeting of the conferees, who took the cost of living prob lem under advisement nearly three months ago. After a review of the progress made so far, which was said to be very gratifying, considering tnat none of the laws requested of con gress has been placed on the statute books, the conference dis cussed new steps to be taken when the "real campaign" is started. Of ficials declined to indicate what they had in mind, but it is known that Attorney . General Palmer is pre pared to proceed vigorously in in dividual cases. Another conference is to be held later in the week, when Secretaries Barker and Daniels are expected to attend and to advise concerning the release of surplus foodstuffs still held by the military departments of the government. Secretary Baket canceled instructions for the distri bution of sugar held by the army on learning that the supply was available for only two and one-half months in advance. Planning to take the public into his conference concerning action against the high cost of living, At torney General Palmer will make a number of trips into adjoining states, beginning the latter part of this month.

MAGAZINE FINDS WAY TO PUBLISH AS MEN STRIKE Literary Digest Eliminates Type Setting by Use of Plates Made From Photo-. graphing Original Copy. New York, Oct. 13. Elimination of type setting, one of the costliest operations of magazine production, by the use of plates made by photo graphing the original typewritten copy, has been accomplished in the October 18 issue of the Literary Digest, consisting of 80 pages. This radical innovation, which was brbught about by the printers' strike in this city, leads the pub lishers to suggest that "it is pos sible in this age of marvels that the whole future of magazine pro duction may be revolutionized by the elimination of typesetting." The make up of the magazine is in no way changed, the only dif ference being that the style of the type is that used on typewriters and is uniform in all the reading matter throughout the number. The right hand side of each column is irregular as in ordinary typewrit ten copy. ' Pete; Peterson, .
