10 c THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: DECEMBER 21, 1919. SAYS MEN WOULD DEFER RELEASE OF RAILROADS Brotherhoods Have Asked President toRetain Control (of Roads for at Least Two Years. i - Written for Cnl-eml Service. ; By WARREN S. STONE. Grand Chief of the Brotherhood of Bail ' way Locomotive Knflneere. , Washington, Dec. 20. What we are trying to do at the present time - is to defer or prevent the release of : the railroads. We have asked the president to retain control of the roads for at least two years to give us a chance to demonstrate that, under normal - conditions, government ownership ' of the roads can be made success ful. , Furthermore, anything that is of as vital importance as the principle of - guaranteeing the earnings of the roads, proposed in the Cummins bill, - means an increase in both freight and passenger rates, various esti mated as between 25 and 30 per cent that will" add to the already high cost of living, now at the breaking point. The American peo ple can't stand much more. Do Not Understand Bill. , ' We want congress to take time at , least to study and understand this Tnuestion instead of taking snap judgment and rushing a bill through that even many senators have con fessed they have not analyzed and do not understand themselves. . The question of transportation vitally affects the welfare of the i whole nation and legislation of this character should only be enacted after the most careful study. ; The anti-strike provisions of the Cummins bill are of course objec tionable to all union'1 labor. It means turning the hands back on the clock at least 100 years and ' makes of the working man a slave once more, regardless of the fact that many workers sleep in Fland ' ers fields today after fighting to es tablish democracy. The greatest objection to the Cummins bill is that it does not dis . pose of any question. It is but a ' makeshift at the best; it is vicious ' In the extreme. - Based on the Sky. . " It guarantee, to the railroads 3Vi per cent, which may be in , creased to 6 per cent on the book 'value of the railroads of which ap , proximately $8,000,000,000 represent no real value except the paper it is '.written or printed upon, the clear sky and the hope of the future, but which at yonce becomes par, the; minute the government guarantee of 6 per cent is put behind it. , V 5 Twenty-two millions of Ameri-j cans raked and scraped and deprived ; themselves of not only luxuries, but of necessities as well, in order ito : buy the $21,000,000,000 worth of war bonds. f , These paid from to AVi per cent, owing to the different issues, while the Cummins bill proposes to pay the holders of railroad securi ties $8,000,000,000 of "which are shadows, a guarantee of 6 per cent. . At the Rate of $1 a Minute. ' Why should $1 invested in rail road securities be guaranteed 6 per cent, while the holder of war bonds is only guaranteed from 3 to 4i per cent? We are used to talking in millions and billions. Few realize how much $1,000,000,000 really is. ; If a man had stood , beside the cradle when Christ was born and 'counted out the money, at the rate of $1 per minute, from then until now, he would still have to keep on counting for eight vears to come ' in order to count out $1,000,000,000. ', If he would undertake 'to count .$8,000,000,000, which we propose to give the railroad stockholders by guaranteeing a 6 per cent return on it. it would take him 40.000 years to count it at the rate of $1 a minute.

By Cnlrmal Service. Special Cable Dispatch. Paris, Dec. 20. Formerly known as the greatest woman spendthrift in Europe, Princess Louise of Bel gium, has had wealth thrust upon her . by circumstances over which she had no control. Unable in 1914 to pay $200 for a hat she had or dered in the Rue de la Paix, she is now possessed ' of 50.000,000 kronen, or nominally $10,000,000. After the death of her father, King Leopold of Belgium, Louise, one of three daughters, led the liti gation aimed partly at depriving Baroness Vaughan, the king's mor banatic wife, of the millions be queathed her. A few days before the , war broke out the Brussels courts awarded her $1,000,000 from the sequestrated royal funds and she had the money transferred to a notary in Vienna. . Although the hostilities cut the princess off from her sole source of revenue; her legal representative in the ' enemy state of Austria man agd by judicious investments to double the initial sum and the tum ble, in the exchange value of Aus trian currency, has now carried the aggregate standing to the princess credit to 50.000,000 kronen, accord ing to a Vienna dispatch to the Paris newspapers. Dressmakers and jewelers here are now considering joint action for 4he recovery of large sums due them from ,the princess. A few months before the war the Paris courts or dered the sale of her home to sat isfy the claims of creditors, but the $5,000- realized 'by the sale left a lot of outstanding debts." - After his accession to the throne King Albert declined to help his cousin 'because she refused to give up her gay friends.

Help the Poor of Your City 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, nof a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The tiny stockings were all hung up by the cold stove which had not seen coal for weeks except at intervals when' the Associated Charities could send fuel out to them. Mother was sick, and daddy had left them. The little tots of the home were SURE that old Santa Claus wouldn't forget them. Hadn't they been good little boys and girls, and helped their sick mother? No, they didn't believe the harsh tales of the neighborhood youngsters that there was no Santa Claus. They stuck to their belief in the great giver, with a faith, the like of which has moved mountains. And that faith is in the good peo ple of Omaha. Because it is up to the good people of Omaha to make that dream come true to all these little kiddies who believe in Santa Claus, but who have no visible rea sons for their belief, nothing but that childlike faith. " , The Associated Charities, with headquarters at 519 Farnam building, will plav Santa Claus for you to these dear children of Omaha s needy families. Mrs. G..W.

"The Jollies of 1920." which was produced by University of Nebraska coeds and other residents of the capital city under the auspices of Sesostris Templei of Lincoln, is a minstrel, vaudeville and musical production. Popular and musical comedy songs well sung, jokes that are new and timely and a chorus of youthful girls who would do .credit to the Ziegfeld Follies.-marked the produc tion. Jokes were given local color when the names of prominent Omaha Shriners were used as char acters, and kept the house in a con tinual uproar. Prof. George Condra, University of Nebraska, made a short speech on "Shrine Fellowship" between acts, emphasizinir the true fellow ship which exists -between Shriners, and the mutual friendship 'between the Sesostris Temple and the Tan gier lemple.

"Stageland" at the Gayety Differs From Anything Seen Here If Santa Claus leaves a ticket in your stocking entitling you to see Dave "Stuffy" Marion in his great musical success" Stageland," at the Gayety theater, you are assured of a Merry Christmas. The book, lyrics and music were written by Mr, -Marion, and to his host of friends made during 15 years on the stage in the role of "Stuffy," the cab driver, this is sufficient evidence that the attraction is worth attend ing. Inez de Verdier plays the prima donna role and her beauty and grace ful figure are used to the greatest advantage in displaying her elegant costumes. She leads the chorus in a number of soulful and colorful se lections. Babe La Tour returns to Omaha after several years' absence and her character parts are the de light of the audience. As the "best goil" of the water front bully she presents a 1919 system of love making that is the hit of the show. Few comics on the stage today get more laughs to the minute spent on the stage than Will H. Ward, who in a "hellofaminute" has the audience in an uproar. Sid Gold, the song bird of the coHnpany, has musical feet in addition to his voice and is extremely popular. The show is different from any thing shown this year. Nothing old and the scenic effects are beautiful. A rain scene at the New York docks is one of the most beautiful effects seen this season. The Christmas season is beauti fully portrayed in a church scene with the snow falling. For the benefit of the holiday crowds the matinees today and Christmas will be started at 3.
