STATE FARMERS
TO CONVENE IN
OMAHA NOV. 18
Politicians Await With Inter
est Expression of Opinion
On Present Labor Prob
lems Throughout Land.
The Nebraska Farmers' Co-Operative
Grain and Live Stock State
association, one of the oldest farm
ers' organizations in the state, will
" hold its 17th annual convention in
- , Omaha November 18 to 20 at the
Hotel Rome. . -
The organization was origihally
formed by a few farmers who met
in Lincoln and to whom very few
people paid attention. The asso
ciation existed for many years with-
. out any regular office or paid em
ployes. 1 . - '
About seven years ago a paid sec
retary was employed to devote his
entire time to the work, since
which time the association has
grown very rapidly. In 1911 the
membership was 35 companies. At
present it is 259. . . '
Local corporations, known as
farmers' elevator companies, hold
memberships, and the association is
- financed by annual dues paid by
those companies. June 1, 1918, per
manent offices were opened in
Omaha in the City National Bank
building, Mr. J. S. (Canaday of
Minden is president and J. W.
Shorthill is secretary. .
There are similar associations in
11 other' of the central, states. In
- each of those states a convention
similar to the one to be held in
Omaha are held each year. It so
happens that the Omaha convention
is the first of the series this year.
People in other occupations, and
,' especially politicians, are anxious to
know what the farmer is thinking
s just now about the demands of or
' ganized labor. Labor leadors have
T" said that the farmer will stand with
; them, bu the farmer has not yet
said. 1 ' ;
X "I have never had so many in
pquiries from so many people so
. widely scattered," said Secretary
j Shorthill, "on any matter-as I have
; had asking about the attitude of the
.. farmer on the -labor problem. The
4 public ' seems to be wanting to
... know, more than anything else,
,' what the farmer is intending to do.
"This convention jvill no doubt
speak on this matter, and its stand
't wiH be very significant for Ne
' braska is certainly one of the
; states that always comes very near
! to expressing the final sentiment of
I the nation.
1 . "This association has always
! stood for the rights of the farmer,
and stood for those rights aggres
sively. At the same time it has al-
ways stood for things constructive
and has never had radicals among
its leaders. For that reason it al
ways voices the sober thought of the
farmer. It is now positively as
sured that the attendance will be
' larger than ever before, and the de
. cision of the convention on the
v labor problem can be taken as re
s' flecting( the real sentiment of our
( highly intelligent farming commun
! ity."

vVictim of Thieves Second
Time Within Week, He Says
For the second time within a
week thieves pliad their game on
G. A. Amos, 5116 California street.
A plush robe valued at $75 and a
man's fur-lined overcoat valued at
$150 were taken from, his car in
front of the Omaha Athletic club,
' according to a report to police.
Amos said he had left the car
standing there but five minutes. An
, overcoat valued at $75 was taken
from his car one night last week,
he told police. . '

DAVIDSON NAMED
TO SERVE FEDERAL
COAL COMMITTEE
Terminal Chairman Reports
Change in Omaha .
. , Situation. ,
J E. Davidson, vice president of
the Nebraska Power Co., was ap
pointed a representative of the na
tional coal committee yesterday by
United States Fuel Administrator
Garfield.
He took his place yesterday morn
ing as the third member of the ter
minal coal committee, which is
headed by W. M. Jeffers of the
Union Pacjfic railroad.
Little change in the coal situation
was reported gby Acting Chairman
Snyder of the Tommittee yesterday.
Coal consigned to Omaha is arriv
ing in large quantities, he said, and
is being distributed in the order of
the administration 's preference list.
. Over' 100 Cars Arrive.
Mr. Snyder said he had no idea
how much commercial coal had been
turned over to consignees. Some
thing over. 100 cars have arrived in
Omaha, however, he said. '
The coal is being distributed to
the first five organizations listed on
the priority list. " Dealers are sixth
on the list and are receiving no coal
asjyet. . :
Mr. Davidson intimated yesterday
that drastic steps would be taken
to save coal. A tampaign will be
launched sopn to impress the public
with the necessity of saving coal, it
is said.
Utah Mines Operating.
' H. J. Plumhof, assistant to the
federal manager of they Union Pa
cific, announced yesterday that the
Union Pacific had arranged for suf
ficient coal from Utah to assure the
continuance 'of train service tor
some time. ' The coal is now being
distributed to eastern points on the
system. Practically all mmes in
Utah are in operation according to
Mr. Plumhoff. .
City Water Mains Get j
First Cleaning Since .
Laid 30 Years, Ago
x k V
Ten miles of 36 and 30-inch water
mains are being' cleaned in Omaha
for the first time since thejr were
laid 30 years ago.
A New York firm which has the
contract for , the work, uses a de
vice which is forced through the
pipes by the water pressure. In
sertions are made in the pipes for
starting the cleaning device and for
taking out the materials which are,
scraped from the lining.
"We estimate that the capacity
of these mains will be increased 40
per cent when the stalactite for
mations have been removed," said
R. B. Howell, general manager of
the Metropolitan Water district.
The cleaning device carries a
series of small knives which cuts
out the formations. The cost is
estimated at $15,000.' Under ordi
nary conditions water - moves in
these mains at two miles per hour.
Tests have shown that the forma
tions in the pipes add to the fric
tion which- the water must over
come. v
Omaha Government Agents
'"Did Not Participate In Raid
Omaha Department of Justice
agents did not participate in the na-tion-wid?
drive made against "reds"
and radicals "Friday night, only for
the reason that there are no such
persons in the city, according to J.
H. Daly, head of the local govern
ment offices. i
Instructions were received to raid
the local headquarters of radical or
ganizations, but an investigation in
the city failed to show the presence
of any such organizations. The
only trouble the Omaha agents ex
perience from radicals in this city is
when an organizer from one of the
(-so-called radical organizations
comes here. Two such men now
are in jail for investigation. .
