; .May Kill Film Business.
Members of the Omaha Moving
Picture Film board met yesterday at
the Chamber of Commerce to dis
cuss the effect of the terminal fuel
committee order limiting their
to 2 p. m.
If this order is rigidly enforced
it will mean the losing of practically
all the film distribution business
which' has been built up in Omaha,
according to members, as most of
the shipping of films is done after 4
p. m. Omaha is a distributing point
for a large part of Iowa and Ne
braska, it was pointed out, but if
Omaha film houses failed to make
deliveries, Chicago, Kansas City and
Minneapolis houses would quickly
step in and fill the breech.
Members, of the ftirn board hope
to be allowed to make shipments
after the regular closing hours, ac
cording to their attorney, Eugene N.
Blazer. There are 15 film distribut-
inir Ikmigui in th ritv anrt tti rnm-
bined yearly business of the houses
totals about $10,000,000, Mr. Blazer
said.
Theaters Want "Part Time."
, A committee representing the the
ater employes of Omaha appeared
before W. M. Jeffers, chairman of
the general fuel committee, yester
day, and requested that the places of
amusement be allowed to remain
open on part time. The committee
stated that 1,000 employes in' this
business are out of work.
5 Mr. Jeffers replied that the gen
eral cfosing order would not be
modified and he told the committee
that he would endeavor to obtain
temporary railroad employment foi
the theater employes.
As result of the coal conserva
tion order the pool and billiard room
of the Chamber of Commerce was
closed at noon yesterday.
Unemployed Grave Feature.
An increasing number of unem
ployed is noticed throughout the
city, this being considered the most
frave feature of the coal shortage,
he closing of theaters, pool halls
and the general restriction of busi
ness is resulting in less employment.
The free employment bureau in the
city hall last Saturday had marked
evidence of this fact by the appear
ance of 150 men and youths begging
for work.
"We can not meet the demand for
employment," said C. A. Davis, head
oi nits oureau.
As an instance of this situation,
V.VKUUII i III f vvn, nuw i u
Dodge hill grading .work, could use
50 men now if . they could obtain
coal.l ? Various construction jobs
ha ve;been closed on account of lack
of coal. ' The problem of unemploy-
m.nf ; 0nfrsl1v renrded as the
most serious factor of the situation.
Divert Coal to Omaha.
E. E. Calvin, federal manager of
the Union Pacific lines, said: The
coal produced at the Union Pacific
.mineswill be diverted to Omaha as
much as possible and desperate ef
forts are being made up to supply
the towns along our lines. We have
received no reports of suffering in
these towns." - .
Mr. Snyder said: "The clearing
off of the switchmen's trike at Kan
sas City helps the Omaha situation
materially, because we are depend
ing much on the supply of fuel oil
and gasoline, most cf which passes
through the Kansas City terminals.
The shortening of retail shop
ping hours necessitates a speeding
up by clerks and customers. Mer
chants are emphasizing the im
portance of patrons carrying their
purchases, because deliveries are
uncertain.
Will Enforce Regulations. v
The coal administration is prepar
ing to enforce its regulations which
which have been announced.
The Nebraska Power company re
ported that the restrictions which
went into effect yesterday re
sulted in a reduction of 25 per cent
of the normal electrical energy re
quired during the early business
hours of the day. The plant is now
consuming fuel oil equivalent to 150
tons of coal a day. The coal com
mittee is endeavoring to supply this
plant and the packing plants as
much coal as possible. It was
agreed yesterday that the. packers
will reduce their working hours to a
minimum. Bakers also have agreed
to reduce their coal consumption to
the lowest possible amount.
W. M. Burgess of M. E. Smith &
Co. stated that his company will
not reduce the wages or salaries of
employes, although the working
hours have been reduced to 8 a. m.
to 2 pi m. Machine operators who
are paid on piece-work basis will be
paid during this emergency on the
basis of their previous average earn
ings. Workers in the packing and
shipping rooms will continue at
their work after 2 p. m., as long as
the temperature will permit .
Ruling on Drug Stores.
At the close of a long session yes
terday morning, during which rep
resentatives of various lines of in
dustry and other activities were in
conference, , the federal fuel com
mittee announced the following rul

Maer Smith announced.
The mayor endeavored in vain to
obtain permission to havs the pub
lic library made an exception to the
closing order.
The 'head of the Union Pacific
special police was directed to check
up and to report all cases of viola
tions of the closing orders and of
the prescribed hours for opening
and closing.
Merchants Hard Hit.
The wholesale merchants state
that they are hit hard; but are doing
the best they can. A. B. Warren,
secretary of McCord, Brady & Co.,
stated that his company has started
on the 8 a. m. to 2 p. m. regulations
and will observe a half-hour lunch
period. The company is serving
coffee to employes.'
"We will concentrate our efforts,"
Mr. Warren said, "but it wilt be
difficult for us to keep up with our
orders."
Buy Oil Burners.
Mr. Leussler, before the city coun
cil yesterday, said:
"Our superintendent of power
went to Kansas City and purchased
eight oil burners which will equip
two of our boilers and will supply
enough steam to take care of the
system during the nonrush hours of
the day. We will save one-third of
our coal by this means providing
we can obtain sufficient oil."
City hall offices were closed yes
terday at 3:30, in accordance with
the general closing order. Employes
were allowed half an hour for lunch.
Mayor Smith was at his office at
8:30 yesterday morning and attended
to some business with his overcoat
buttoned tightly. The early morning
temperature of the City hall was 40
degrees above zero. J. H. Bev
eridge, superintendent of schools,
also appeared in his overcoat and
earmuffs and answered many early
morning telephone calls from teach
ers and pupils who wanted to know
"for sure" whether schools were all
closed. il
School Boilers Drained.
- The boilers in all schools have
been drained.
The Union Pacific coal committee
advised all towns along its lines to
organize local coal distribution com
mittees under official authority.
The American Legion applied to
the coal committee for permission
to hold a meeting in the Auditorium
Tuesday evening, using no heat for
the occasion.
Hospital Supply Low.
The hospitals are running on
small margins of coal and are being
given preferred attention on account
of the nature of their occupancy.
The Methodist hospital has a two
days' supply and an application in
for 50 tons. St. Joseph hospital
has a supply for one week. The
Swedish Mission hospital has"
enough for nearly four weeks. Sev
eral are running from day to day.
Brandeis Theater Closed.
In accordance with the order of
the fuel administrator, and pending
positive information to the contrary
from Washington, the Brandeis the
ater remained closed last night.
A further order of the administra
tor 6aid that there can be no display
or window lighting in any of the
stores. All unnecessary lighting
must be turned off.
Theater Closing Order
Taken Up at Washington
Washington ' Dec 1. (Special
TelegramsCongressman Jefferis
busied himself Monday in an effort
to get the order issued by the fnel
administration in Omaha closing
the city theaters on account of the
shortage in coal rescinded, or modi
fied,, to allow the Omaha theaters
to use kerosene for heat and light.'
Omaha theater managers wired Mr.
Jefferis that all theaters had been
ordered closed beginning December
1 in order to conserve coal. The
Brandeis management stated that
offers had been made the lofal fuel
administrator to run the theater
without coal, steam or electric light,
using kerosene for heat and light,
but that the local board had arbi
trarily refused this permission.
Mr. Jefferis had a conference with
Henry, B. Spencer, chairman of the
central coal committee, with head
quarters here, who stated that he
was in total ignorance of the rea
sons prompting the Omaha order
and immediately requested the coal
committee in Chicago to take up
the matter with the coal uel admin
istrator and see if something could
not be done to avoid the threatened
losses to the Brandeis and other
theaters affected.
The Omaha congressman was
told tnat a possible reason for the
refusal to use kerosene might be
due to a desire to conserve petrol
eum as an industrial fuel in the
event that the coal strike is pro
longed indefinitely.
Lincoln Theaters Allowed
Open Four Hours in Evening
Lincoln, Dec. 1. (Special.)
More drastice orders have been is
sued by the committee having in
charge the conservation of coal in
Lincoln. Theaters cannot open
their shows until 7 in the evening
and must close at 11. Churches will
be closed except that all churches
must hold joint services in different
sections of the town.
The Lincoln schools were closed
Monday morning. The state uni
versity has fuel enough to last until
the holidays and the committee
thought it might be well to allow
the university to run until that time.
Pool hall proprietors are willing
to close all the forenoon, but think
they ought to be allowed to be open
in the afternoon and evening. This
matter will be settled Tuesday.

All the resources of the fuel admin
istrators are being taxed to prevent
suffering.' Restrictive measures in
the use of all coal is being followed
everywhere. Although all mine op

FUEL RESTRICTION
PUT INTO EFFECT
BY GOVERNMENT
More Stringent Even Than
Those Applied During the
War Due to Diminish
ing Coal Stocks.
Washington. Dec. 1. Wartime re
strictions on the nation's use of coal,
more stringent ven than those ap
plied during the war, was ordered
into effect to stave off a fuel famine.
Moved by reports of diminishing
coal stocks and growing danger of
distress in numerous sections, the
government sought no compromise
with striking mine workers whose
walkout forced the emergency, but
asked for national determination to
endure privation and discomfort
until coal mining was resumea on
its terms.
Fuel Administrator Garfield, act
ing in conjunction with tbe railroad
administration, gave notice that
hereafter only the essential consum
ers included in the first five classes
of the war priority list would be
supplied with coal, and asked the
help of all state and municipal au
thorities to make rationing effective.
' Local Men Upheld.
The order which made national
those restrictions already put into
local effect by regional coal commit
tees where the pinch of fuel short
age has been felt, cuts off supplies
from all but transportation agencies,
which includes inland and coastwise
shipping as well as railroads, federal
and local government institutions
and establishments,1 including con
cerns working on government con
tracts; public utilities, including
newspapers and retail dealers. Rail
road administration officials conced
ed that it meant widespread cessa
tion of industrial operations, only
justified by the gravity of the situa
tion. "It is necessary that coal shall
he used only for essential purposes,"
Dr. Garfield said in giving public
notification of the V step. "Pubjic
utilities consuming coal should dis
continue to furnish power, heat and
light to nonessential industries and
should consume only sufficient coal
to produce enough light, power and
heat to meet the actual urgent needs
of the people. Advertising signs
and displays of various kinds neces
sitating the use of coal should be
curtailed and no coal should be dis
tributed for such purposes."
Local Arrangements Vary.
Officials said that the terms of the
order as given were framed to allow
the greatest possible variation ifl
local arrangements so that emergen
cies could be met by actionbest
suited to that result. Industrial es
tablishments operating their own
power plants will be forced to shut
down when present supplies are ex
hausted, while the operation of those
whose power is supplied from pub
lic utility, plants will be curtailed or
continued in the discretion of local
agencie and officials. Dr. . Garfield
noted further that the "government
would be glad to leave supervision
and control of distribution by retail
dealers entirely to any state, county
or municipality which may make
provision therefore." - 5
Federal Power Final.
These arrangements, it was sug
gested, would all be maintained
while they proved adequate, but th
federal government would hold a
final power to intervene by cutting
off coal supplies where rationing
measures are not being airly or
fully taken.
Officials were, hopeful that the ad--vance
of 14 per cent in mine work
ers' wages would result in getting
some of the men back to work, espe
cially in view of the fact that coal
operators generally were backing up
the offer.
Members of a mine operators
committee were in Washington
watchin.i the situation and preparing
for a general session Wednesday
when details of application of the
14 per cent increase will be arranged,
but had no reports of work resump
tion. U. S. Soon Independent of
Former Enemies in Dyestuffs
Washington, Dec. 1. Indications
that the United Stages soon will be
independent not only of its former
enemies, Germany and Austria, but
of all other of 4he general countries,
in the matter of dyestuffs, synthetic
medicinals, optical and window
glass and other commodities was
given in the annual report of the
tariff committee.
American manufacturers now
have a large output of these goods,
all of whic(i were .imported before
the war, and most of the domestic
trade is being satisfied through
home production.
Packing House Men
Get Raise in Wages
(Continued From Fas One.)
ers were denied by Judge Alschuler.
Among them were:
Denied a basic, eight-hour day for
private policemen and watchmen.
Denied demand of Kansas City
teamsters and chauffeurs for a basic
eight-hour day.
Denied demand to abolish, piece
work in the car shops.
The men won their demand for
the maximum rate of pay where hog
killing and cutting gangs are com
bined for periods where there is not
sufficient work to keep both gangs
engaged as separate units.
Referee Gives Opinion.
In commenting on the demands of
the men, Judge Alschuler said:
"While I believe that conditions
are such that the employes gener
ally, and some of them more partic
ularly, are entitled to some further
consideration, it seems to me that
the demands as presented are in the
main so excessive that an arbitrator
would not be justified in granting
them. '
"The great difficulty experienced
even under most favorable circum
stances in passing upon wages and
working conditions is much multi
plied under existing public condi
tions, where extremes are so much
the rule.' Extremes in public views
and on economic questions, ex
tremes in profits and prices, ex
tremes in wealth and in the want of
it, extremes in wages and working
conditions in some instances the
so-called 'economic power' of labor
succeeding under seeming impend
ing penalty of great public prevation
in enforcing wages and conditions
apparently beyond reason and in
other instances the so-called 'eco
nomic oower' of capital succeeding
in imposing or retaining working
conditions unaer wnicn woric snouiu
not be required to be done, and
wages inadequate in these times for
even their subsistence. With what
great benefit to themselves and to
all might those twin giants, capital
and labor, make practical applica
tion of the aptly expressed Shakes
pearian truth:
" 'It is excellent to have a giant's
strength, but it is tyrannous to use
it like a giant"
Local Firms Will Obey
Order of Chicago Judge
That the orders of United States
District Judge Alschuler of Chica
go, directing a 10 per cent increase
in wages of unskilled labor em
ployed at packing houses through
out the country, will be carried out
to the letter, by the local manage
ment of the Swift Packing company,
was the announcement made Mon
day by O. D. Maberry, superintend
ent of the South Omaha plant. V
"Although we have received no
notice of the order of Judge Al
schuler," said Mr. Maberry, "we
will without doubt do all in our
power to carry out the mandate of
the court, it will take some time
to check up those that come under
th head of unskilled labor and we
will have to wait for the details of
the order, before we will be able to
make a definite statement.
R. C. Howe, general manager of
the Armour company plant, said the
official notice of Judge Alschuler's
order had not 1 -n received by him,
but that he had been notified a de
cision was expected Monday. Mr.
Howe said steps would be made to
carry out the details of the order
as soon as it was received.
According to Jake Davis, business
agent of Laborers' Union 602, to
which 75 per cent of the unskilled
labor emploved at local packing
plants, is affiliated, the increase will
affect about 60 per cent of the em
ployes of the packing houses, or ap
proximately 6,000 persons, who will
each receive an increase of a little
over $2 a week, which will mean a
weekly increase of over $12,000 in
the weekly payroll of packing house
employes.
Employes now getting an aver
age of $23 a week will draw a little
over $25 a week for 48 hours work
everv week. Among those rated as
unskilled laborers are a great many
women employed in pickling and
dry salt departments. Men em
ployed in the loading and unload
ing of cars, employes of the cooling
department and yard men are
among those that will he affected.
Union officials say they expect
the court order to be retroactive,
and that employes will draw pay at
the increased rate from the time the
suit was started for a raise several
months ago '

OFFICERS TELL
OF SEEING MAN
POURGASOLINE
Two Policemen Positively
Identify Louis Weaver
Confessions Introduced
In Court.
"That man right there jumped up
on the sill of the. north window of
the county treasurer's office with a
five-galfon can of gasoline and threw
the gasoline into the office where
the fire was already set," declared
Policeman Joseph Zich yesterday,
pointing at Louis L. Weaver, who is
being tried on the charge of arson
in burning the court house the night
of September 28. The trial is going
on before a jury in District Judge
Sears' court.
Weaver lives at 1357 South Seven
teenth street and worked at the
Rome hotel as a cook before his ar
rest. Boy of 14 Led Way.
"A boy of 14 years old poured
gasoline on the sill of the window
before Weaver got there," continued
Zich. "The window was burned and
fell in. Then Weaver, wearing a
sweater and without any hat,
climbed upon the sill and others
handed the can of gasoline up to
him and he poured it on. The
crowd cheered hint and he said
something."
An alleged confession, signed by
Weaver, was introduced by County
Attorney Shotwell. who is orosecut-
ing the case. This was made by
Weaver right after his arrest, Oct.
4, witnesses testified, in the office
of Chief of Detectives Dunn. In it
he states that he threw half a can
of gasoline on the fire, but that it
flared back on him and burned him.
Piloted Mayor Smith.
Harry Lighthall, a special officer
for the Nebraska Power company,
who was inside the court house
the night of the fire, told of pilot
ing .Mayor Smith, Police Commis
sioner Ringer and Chief of Police
Eberstein around the interior of the
court house with his flash light, the
night of the riot. He said he saw
Weaver and was present at the po
lice station when Weaver made his
alleged confession.
He dictated the statement to De
tective Toland, who wrote it on the
typewriter," said Lighthall, "I rolled
a cigaret for Weaver while he was
dictating. Finally he signed it' and
said, 'There, that's done.' His face
was a mass of bruises." N
Detective Paul Sutton told of ar
resting Weaver at his home.
"His face was all bandaged up
and his hands and arms we it
bandaged clear up to the elbows,"
he said, t
The alleged confession says that
Weaver was taken to the office
of County Physician Van Camp, who
treated him for the burns , of the
gasoline, "and he promised not. to
tell that I got burned at the court
house," says the confession.
Description of the
i Yeggmen Only Qew
(Continued From Pace On)
have been notified to watch all in
coming trains from Omaha for the
three yeggmen. '
Detectives working on the case
say the robbery was committed by
"outside talent." In the evidence
that the yeggmen used successful
tactics in drilling the holes about
the combination of the safes and in
serting copper detonating caps filled
with nitro-glycerine, gun cotton and
soap, police lay the robbery to pro
fessional . crooks frequenting the
country at large.
From descriptions of the men as
given by Henry Feaber and Henry
Leaders, night watchmen at Hay
den Bros., police believe the yegg
men are the same men who three
months ago held up and robbed the
Citizens State bank at Ralston of
$3,000. Not a clue as' to the iden
tity of the robbers was left by them.

Watchman Quits His Job.
