I. tin TODAY at the WARD BURGESS RETURNS FROM LABOR MEETING 4 ' - i . j Omaha Man Explains Reasons for Failure of Conference , to Settle International j Difficulties. Collective bargaining and the steel strike were the two causes for the failure of the national industrial meeting at Washington, D. C, ac cording to Ward M. Burgess of Omaha, who returned yesterday from Washington. As a member of the body repre senting the public Mr. Burgess was able to size the situation up better than members of the employers' or labor bodies. The body represent ing the public was for the most part neutral during the controversy, be said. . . "The body representing .the pub lic was not against collective bar gaining with some limitations," said Mr. Burgess. "It. was against col lective bargaining which would force a man to join any organization, keep him from choosing his own repre sentatives or prevent him advancing if he had ability to do so, however. Steel Strike Aids. , "The steel strike also strained the relations between the employers and labor representatives." Asked concerning his disappear ance from the conference, Mr. Bur gess explained that he had merely gone to New York for a day to see Louis C. Nash of Omaha, who was in the east at that time. There was nothing of importance before the conference at the time, he said. Although there is an atmosphere of unrest at Washington, there Is no fear in official circles of any kind of a, socialistic uprising in any part of the country, Mr. Burgess de clared. He prophesied that another industrial conference would be held In the future which would be more satisfactory. The body representing the public AMUSEMENTS. SCATS NOW AT Box Office AUDITOR.

The body representing the public left the conference after labor and employer bodies had deserted, be cause it did not deem further con ference of the public representatives alone y would be worth- while, Mr. Burgess said, Mr. Burgess is of the opinion that the industrial conference, as it was planned, was entirely impractical and accomplished little or nothing. LAUNCH CAMPAIGN TONIGHT TO MAKE OMAHA AIR CENTER 1 Advertising-Selling League Gave Movement Big Start Last IVfight. .; :7J A campaign to make Omaha on? of the leading aerial centers of the world will be officially started to night when members of the newly organteed Omaha Aero club and the Aerial Club of Nebraska will meet at the Hotel Fontenelle for the purpose Of consolidation. . , The consolidation movement, which has been advocated by both clubs, was brought to a head last merit when Fay L.. Faurote, man ager of "the educational and welfare division of the.Curtiss Airplane and Motor corporation, addressed mem bers of the Advertising and Selling league of Omaha. Details Plane History. Mr. Faurote gave a detailed-history of the airplane, beginning with its earliest stages and bringing it up to the latest stage. Aerial naviga tion -"in this country, he said, ' has reached a stage where the only hin drance to its practical use for com mercial purposes is i lack of ade quate and safe landing fields. Harley G. Conant, chairman of the aerial navigation committee of the Chamber of Commerce, in. a short Speech outlined plans for a new landing field in the spring. It is to be a 90-acre field, equipped with up-to-date hangars and other essentials. He called attention to the efforts of neighboring cities to establish themselves as aerial cen ters and urged that Omaha make greater efforts to establish itself on the air routes of the country. ! "Third Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Praeger informed me that Omaha would have aerial mail serv ice by spring," declared Mr. Faurote in an interview. "I believe bank clearings in Omaha alone would be increased sufficiently to warrant utmost co operation of Omaha business inter ests in establishing air connections with the east," said Mr. Faurote. "The commercial air navigation in America is at the present time handicapped' by lack of suitable landing fields." Mr. Faurote told of the construc tion of a great passenger airplane by the Curtiss corporation, which has already proved a success in trial flights. The plane will carry eight passengers, besides its 'crew, he said, and will soon make a flight across the country. Red Oak Man Kills Wife and Then Takes Own Life Red Oak, la., Oct. 27.

The story is of an author who write a book on aviation, in which he so graphically described his first trip in an airplane that the novel im mediately ibecame a "belt seller." . His doctor advised him to leave the excitement of the city for a pre scribed rest to a beautiful hotel in the Berkshires. Here his fame as the author of the book, "Going Up," followed him, and through the efforts of a friend he is coerced into a challenged flight with an experi enced French aviator. He meets the girl for whom he makes his "first trip in an airplane." I An experienced mechanician gives him one evening's less'on, and he takes to the air, while the crowds at his hotel await in fear and anguish for his landing .after being enlightened by the "friend" who got him into-the entire trouble that he was not an aviator. Bjit he come3 down all right, wins the flight and the girl, ' Raymond Crane, the, author, makes a distinct hit with the audi ence, portraying his part with such vividness that the spectators feel hi? thrills as he mounts the steps into the plane for . his first flight. Norma Brown, lead, for whom the author flies, enchants with her song, "When You Look Into Her Eyes," while Mario Villani, who . portrays the ardent French lover and rival air man, is entrancingly realistic. His accent is most nearly perfect, and his voice enchanting., Loretta Marks and Jack Patton please with their "Tickle Toe," in which they do intri cate steps with exceptional ease and grace. Eleanor Bennett, as the tele phone girl of the hotel, and Charles Myers, the father of the desired girl, are kee'n in their character por trayal. The chorus, besides being well trained, is exquisitely gowned, and their music is unusually good. The cast is one of the best balanced that has appeared in Omaha for many seasons. The human airplane, on which Mario Villani sings' his "Going Up," is a unique side play which takes well with the audience. T. Roy Barnes, one of the stel lar attractions this week at the Or pheum, began his stage career as a slight-of-hand trickster. With Bes sie Crawford, he is presenting an extremely laughable skit called "A Package of Smiles.',' Emma Haig, the dainty dancer, is combining her efforts with those of Jack Waldron. The big society night audience last evening greatly enjoyed these at tractions. The mystifving electrical offering presented vby Mme. Burnell also scored a hit. When they , bring on the girls at the Boyd this week the, stage fills with such an aggregation of varied female loveliness as seldom is seen, for the Winter - Garden spectacle, "The Passing Show of 1918," is on view there, and it is some view. It gives the onlooker an idea of what has made Broadway famous. But the show does not depend on its girls, for it has Willie and Eugene Howard, who have to work hard to hold the "star" spot against John Burke and Ray Cummings. Some dancers, too, and lots of songs and pjctures. The show stays all week. If there is anyone deposed these afternoons or evenings to dejection they should not fail to secure their seats for May Robson, whom Au gustus Pitou, Inc., will present , at the Brandeis theater for three days, commencing Thursday, with a mati nee on ISaturday, in her new melo dramatic farce, "Tish." Miss Rob son will have the original cast and production intact for the engagement in this city. Of all the spectacular features in "Oh, Baby," which will be the of fering of the Marcus show at the Brandeis next week, starting with the Sunday rnatinee, none is more opulent than "The Gates of Araby." Here is a stage picture that might have surrounded Belshazzar. Omaha's IcgaT fraternity may learn any amount of things tney should not do and that are not at all in- accord with the ethics of their honorable profession if they- will visit "Slitkin & Slotkin.

The one act playlet, "The Sweethearts," presented by Walter Pearson and company, is also , pleasing. Mr. Pearson's "impersonation of the brother who desires the happiness of his sister is most effective.

Mysterious Stenographer Takes Notes at Probe Into Army Air Service New York, Oct. 27. The congres sional subcommittee which re sumed the inquiry into alleged ir regularities' in" the army air service put a mysterious, stenographer on the witness' stand and iound that he was taking notes for John D. Ryan, formerly director of aircraft production. The committee was inquiring par ticularly into events leading tin to the construction by the United States of a railway in the Olympia peninsula in the state of Washing ton, connecting a spruce district with the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad. Mr. Ryan is a director of this .road and has been summoned to testify Wednesday. The stenographer, W. T. Bleick, of Butte, Mont., employed by L. 0. Evans, an attorney for the Anacon ds Copper company, said, he was to report to Mr. Evans at the New York offices of the company, of which Mr. Ryan is president. He was told he could continue to take notes. Franklin Helm, a New York con tractor, testified that the original contract made for the construction of the railroad was changed at Ryan's instance and that William F. Carey of the contracting firm of Siems, Carey and Kerbaugh. which built the road, had been assisted, in getting financial backing for proj ects in China by Mr. Ryan. Mr. Helm had harsh words with members of the firm of Siems, Carey and Kerbaugh when they got the contract for themselves. He Ak-Sar-Ben Drive , , Nets $275,000 in First Day's Work At the first noon day luncheon of the 250 salesmen engaged in the $1,000,000 drive for Ak-Sar-Ben at the Hotel Fontenelle vesterday, sub scriptions totalling $275,000 were re ported. As a result of this announcement, every, one at the meeting was high ly elated over the prospects of se curing the total amount, and ex pressed themselves as satisfied that the goal would be reached by Sat urday. Guy Cramer, chairman of the sales force, presided at .the meeting. J. E. Davidson, chairman of - the fi nance committee for the drive con gratulated the salesmen on their ef forts, and remarked that with siniif lar results during the next few days the total could be easily reached. ' The committee headed by II. VV. Pierpont reported morning sub scriptions totalling $10,000 while. VSpike" Kennedy's committee re ported $6,000. The committee of the board of governors, however, is the one re ceiving the majority of the larger subscriptions to the fund. had understood, according to his testimony", that he and Pliny Fisk, a New York banker, were to share in the profits. .' Mr. Fisk testified he withdrew from the deal although he had a contract with Siems, Carey and Kerbaugh for 50 per cent of the profits up to $2,000,000. LLOYD GEORGE COMPELLED TO YIELDJEFORMS Defeat bf Government in House of Commons and Seri ousness of British Finances Bring Results. London, Oct. 27. -(By The Asso ciated -Press-) Mst weeks defeat in the House of Commons and the seriousness of the country's finances revealed in the revised estimate sub mitted to Parliament today, show ing that the estimated deficit for the vear exceeds 447,000,000 instead of 250,000,000- as fixed and found in the budget sems to have induced the government to yiela certain re forms long demanded by the press. Foremost among these demands was that for a return to cabinet re sponsibility, -and also more regular attendance of the prime minister in the House of Commons, The former apparently has been granted in the announcement of a return . to the peace time term for the cabinet, whereby all ministers will be re sponsible for the decisions taken, instead of the few ministers forming the war cabinet. . Inspired Statement. With regard to the second demand an inspirea statement was issueo tonight to the effect that as soon as his , duties in connection with the peace conference are ended the pre mier will revert to his old practice of personally answering questions in the House ot Commons, rle win be gin by doing this once weekly and later may attend on two days. The cabinet today drafted- a mo tion which will be proposed by Aus ten Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, on; Wednesday, "that th'f nouse, realizing me serious enccn upon the trade and industry of the nation of the enormous financial burdens resulting from the war, promises its hearty support to the government in all reasonable pro posals, however drastic, for the re duction of expenditures and the di minution of debt." Three Days' Debate. , It is understood the debate on this motion and the amendments moved by the independent liberals and la borites will extend over at least three days. The laborites advocate a levy on capital and the reversion to the state of all fortunes made as a result of the war. The Irish question still provides the government with a difficult prob lem and it is stated that the cabinet committee having the matter under consideration will not likely be able to present a satisfactory scheme u the limited time now Available. It is thought that the" government will be compelled to introduce a bill again postponing the home rule act, which otherwise would become auto matically! operative with the formal ending of the war.
