Motorman Sounds Warning.
The only warning the passengers
had of the danger was when Motor-
man Bennett opened the door of
his booth and yelled to the con
ductor: "Morris, look out for the
rear.
Conductor Morris, one of the mot
severely injured, held the rear doors
shut when several passengers sought
to escape, among them Buster
Woodcook, 14 years old. The car
was speeding backward 50 miles an
hour, Conductor Morris told police.
He was injured about the neck and
hands when he was pinned between

phone poles first.
As the car earned momentum in
the middle of the hill, the conductor
attempted to open the rear door to
allow the passengers to leap off, he
said.

are automatically Kept snut wnen
the car speeds."
Two of the injured passengers,

Craig, were hurried away from the
scene of the accident by street rail
way employes under the direction
ot a road otneer oetore ponce ar
rived. ,
When confronted by police and
newspaper men, Motorman Bennett
refused to talk.
"I'll give my say to the railway
company," he said. "All I have to
say now is that I did what was in
my power." "
The official report of police is
that the "brakes of the car refused
to work."
According to passengers in the
wrecked car, Motorman Bennett ap
parently made no effort to use the
emergency brakes that are oper
ated by a large hand wheel. C. F.
Cunningham, foreman of he car
barns at Sixth and Pierce streets,
refused to talk.
Country Newspapers
Unable to Obtain,
Print Paper Supply
Washington, Nor. 3. (Special
Telegram.) Prompted by telegrams
from newspapers -in Nebraska rep
resenting that they, were threatened
with extinction if some relief is not
given in the white paper situation,
Congressman Reavies startled the
house Monday by, bodly asserting
that corporations were using up.
their excess profits in national ad
vertising, instead of paying the ex
cess tax to the government.
He said , he had been getting
letters and telegrams from
country newspapers in Nebraska in
forming him they could not get ad
ditional supply of print paper, not
withstanding they had made -contracts
months ago with paper houses.
The consumption of print paper
this year, according to Representa
tive Reavis, is 30 per cent in excess
of what it ever was before.
"The reason for this unusual con
sumption, as given by the eastern
dailies, is the great increase in na
tional advertising," said Mr. Reavis.

ed areas, although only one minor
disturbance was reported.
Although there was a report that
a break among union miners had
occurred in the northern West Vir
ginia fields, where, it is said, IS mines
were in operation, miners and op
erators alike asserted that the pro
duction of soft coal was paralyzed.
it also was reported that some
union miners resumed work in one
Colorado mine when operators and
union officials agreed uoon a settle
ment whereby operators would make
such wage increases as were later
made effective in the eastern fields.
Nonunion miners in Pennsylvania
and West Virgnia were in opera
tion today with almost the usual
working forces. Union leaders ad
mitted that because of the restrain
ing order, they were doing nothing
to induce nonunion workers to walk
out. In . Ohio, fve of six stripping
companies were in operation.
Consumers Affected.
Wth approximately 425,000 miners
idle, according to union leaders'
claims, conceded by most of the op
erators, consumers were beginning
to . feel the effects of the strike.
Thousands of cars of coal were being
confiscated by the federal railroad
administration, a few schools were
closed in remote places, and in a
number of communities water and
electric companies were affected.
While operators generally were
making no attempts to mine coal,
reports from fields in 28 states said
that whistles were blown this morn-

that enough workers might be in

Operators of the O'Gara mine in
Illinois which furnishes coil to
Camp Grant cantonment, were un
able to resume work today despite
an order from the quartermaster
general's office that government
contracts be filled.
At Billings, Mont., it was an
nounced today that the schools
would not open tomorrow because
of the coal famine. More than 4,000
pupils ana lU teachers will be af
fected. Some towns in Nebraska
also face the closing of schools un
less coal shipments held in Colo
rado are received.
Fix on Two-ton Limit
The situation as It is may soon
directly affect the consumer was in
dicated in a report from Chatta
nooga, Term., where coal dealers en
tered an agreement to limit the sua
ply of coal to domestic consumers
to two tons, industrial buyers were
cut off. The dealers said that only
a 15-day supply was on hand.
Thomas T. Brewster, chairman of
the coal operators scale commit
tee, announced tonight that the mine
owners would not consider any
proposition put forth by the miners
until tney naa returned to woric
Lignite coal workers of North
Dakota, represented by Henry
Brennan of Billings, Mont., presi
dent of that district, presented de
mands which wHl be considered to
morrow by mine operators. De
tails of the demands have not been
made known, but an increase in
wages together with other provis
ions which the miners say are in
tended to prevent the miners of the
state from endangering their
chances of victory are contained in
the demands.
McAdoo Is Reticent.
William G. McAdoo, who is visit
ing here, said today that he knew
nothing of the suggested intention
of the miners to employ him as their
counsel in the strike, nor did he say
whether he would accept if such an
offer was made.
According to C. H. Jenkins, presi
dent of the Northern West Virginia
Coal Operators association, the 15
mines reported to be in operation in
the northern part of the state are
"small ones." He stated that re
ports indicated a 50 per cent coal
production in the state.
i"rom Leavenworth, Kan., came
reports that persistent rumors in
dicated that prisoners at the United
States disciplinary barracks and the
federal prison might be used, if
needed, to mine sufficient coal for
the use of the prisons and the city
water and power plant.
Admit Miners' Success.
Springfield, 111., Nov. 3. Opera
tors admitted reluctantly tonight
claims of strike leaders that Mon
day, the first real test day of the
bituminous coal miners' strike in
Illinois, was a success from the
miners' standpoint.
Production of soft coal was par
alyzed. No attempts were made by
the operators today to mine coal.

company.
F. W. Edmunds, president of the
Independent ' Creamery company,
Clay Center, Kan., said: "I can't
pay 75 cents per pound for butter
fat and give an honest test "
Little Concerns Quit.
The statement was made that 90
per cent of the ' small Nebraska
creameries have been forced out of
business by the large concerns.
Judge E. J. Hainer of Lincoln,
representing the Fairmont Cream
ery company, declared that he could
remember the time when the neigh
borhood (butcher was the common
practice, whereas today practically
all butchering is done at large
plants, and he likened that situa
tion to the evolution of the cream
ery business.
"One oi the tests of competition

whether the transaction is a profit
able one. If the purpose is to de
stroy, then it is unfair, said Mr.
Colver of the federal trade commis
sion. "In the eves of the commission
there is no difference in the size of
a business. One is as sacred as the
other."
Adopt Resolutions.
Anions' the resolutions adopted
by the conference were the follow-
ng:
"The purchasing or, offermg to
purchase dairy products at prices
not warranted Dy marKet or iraac
conditions, is not fair.
"Or paying higher prices to one
class of shippers or sellers, than to

"On the paying of different prices

by freight rates ot the commoauy

a lack of articles for the block.
J. J. Isaacson, who had charge of
the auction, is making an effort to
secure more articles to be sold. Any
thing will do, he says. Mr. Isaacson
says he has secured a five piece jazz
band to play during the auction to
day.
' Bushman Makes Talk.
Crowds gathered at the north en
trance of the court house at noon
yesterday for a glimpse of Francis X
Bushman, ex-film star, who with
his co-star Beverly Bayne, aided the
Red Cross on the first day of its
drive.
When Mr. Bushman appeared, tall
and handsome, there was a notice
able flutter among the women in
the crowd. A huge dog stood by
his side as he spoke..
Mr. Bushman made a short talk,
telling of the work of the Red
Cross, and then auctioned off two
small statues, official emblems of
the great society.
Trie first statue sold for $25 to G.
F. Weimer of San Francisco, who
is stopping at the Hotel Fontenelle.
Mr. Bushman then made a strategic
error.
"Miss Bayne is over there in the
booth writing memberships," he
announced, and the fickle crowd
deserted -him. He sold another
statue to E. L. Lowe for $5, how
ever, before they had all left
-v Miss Bayne, who occupied the
small hut near the sidewalk, was
besieged with men and women
eager to take memberships.
Wait for an Hour.
"I have been waiting: for more
than an hour to have you write my
membership," declared Mrs. Ella
Willey, 110 East Pierce street,

happily as she watched Miss Bayne
till out her card.
Several hundred memberships
were written by Miss Bayne before
the crowd thinned.
Miss Primrose Seamon. star at
the Gayety theater this week, -with
the aid of several chorus girls sang
for the crowd while it waited for
Mr. Bushman to arrive.
The Red Cross roll call was en
dorsed by the American Legion,
Douglas County post, at an execu
tive meeting held yesterday.
