J., Nov. 23. De testives worked all day without lift ing even to the slightest degree the veil of mystery ' surrounding the death of 3-year-old "Billy" Dansey, who disappeared October 8 and whose body was found yesterday at the edge of a swamp two miles from his home on the outskirts 6f this town. Edmund C. Gaskill, jr., coun ty prosecutor, and others working on the case, adhere to the theory that the chjld was lured from his home and murdered. Tlie exact manner in which the child met his death "may never be determined because of the condition of his body, according to Dr. Louis D. Souder, c ounty physician. v County Prosecutor Gaskill said death was probably due to strangu lation but that this could not be ver ified because of the condition of the body. "The motive remains a secret," he added, "because there appears to be no means of ascertaining it."

Unions and Business, May "Go Hang" the Boy Will Probably Marry the Girl To all appearances business is all right in Omaha, I" but conditions throughout the country could be better, it is generally conceded. ' There are. many reasons for this, bul one of them is indicated in a dispatch in the Saturday morning news which recites that a young union man, engaged to a girl, not a member of the union organized among the employes of her line of wtork, was prohibited from marrying her by by resolution of his union. , v The dispatch says :' "Roseville. Cal.. Nov. 21. Mrs. Madeline Rogers t says her son, Silvera, has been informed by his local union that he will have to give up his sweetheart, who is a non union operator at a telephone switchboard, and who took a striker's place, or else get out of his own union. A dele gation from the union called on him and delivered the ultimatum." Debate on the question here presented as to the r rights and proprieties of the union, and the rights of the boy and girl, would be more extensive than a prohibition argument before the supreme court. The one fact is plain, however, that the action of the union is but one of the indications showing how far the unions are going, and probably would go if given oppor- r tunity, in the arbitrariness of their demands.- And it is fear of such arbitrariness, more than a de nial of the justness of some of their demands, that causes much of the opposition of such men as Judge Gary of the r steel trust to oppose unions, and this is having its effect 3 I upon business. It will be conceded that a union self evidently has a right to urge a higher wage, while it is debatable that it has a right to deny this youth the wife of his choice, union or non-union. And if arbitrariness is presented in such a debatable right, how much more so is it likely to be found in a mat- 3 ter in which it is admitted they have just cause for action. It is this element of arbitrariness that, it is feared. will grow until it becomes unbearable, and it is this fear r which is preventing in some cases a quicker adjustment oi claims, and this in turn is conducing to the unsettled 'business conditions that are complained of. '.out that the government would not permit one of its sol- I diers to marry a woman of the enemy. Our trooDS in Germanv were Drohibited even from fraternizing with the Teuton maids. The union takes the position that those who are not Cwith them are against them, and therefore enemies. Upon this assumption the union has a right-to pro hibit its member from turning "traitor" and marrying a girl who was so flagrantly non-union that she refused to "go out" when a strike was called, and even took a strik er s place. This presumption of the union is in conflict with the guarantee of the constitution that a person may seek a livelihood wherever there isa will tqjseek it, at whatever wages are acceptable if the "job" can be found. jr vv ucii me juu j iuuiiu, aim me employer sianus up ft for his right to engage whom he will, .the union retorts wicn me rigm oi us memDers 10 quit. The right to quit is undeniable, except insofar as the quitting in concert constitutes an act of force and intimi- C dation against the employer, and constitutes a species of blackmail. . This the law nrohibits. and the Question of the onen f shop arises, and so on and so on, until the supreme court I i- 1 3 1 J 1 J. - 1 1 1 geis a iieauMcne aim mayue regreis mose pronioition de cisions. In the meantime the boy and girl question is unset tled. ' The fear of the union is that the wife will persuade the boy away from his union. A Apparently it has little hope that the bov will, on f tthe other hand, persuade the wife out of her non-union -1 ideas. i Therefore, the union confesses its fear that man is not the stronger. This is gratifying to the suffragists. And, also, it is a source of satisfaction to the little fellow with the bow and arrow who takes the stand that r if the youth is any kind of a man he will mawythe girl, union or non-union.
