This pro vides for the lifting of the govern- ment s gimraiuccu pnii.cs un .... Omaha grain men hope for the de feat , of the measure, since the in fluence of the government guaran tee to farmejs on the1 1919 crop might carry wheat prices down. The committee will atso make ef forts to obtain audience with Direc tor General Hines of the railroad administration relative to relief for ho congestion in terminal grain elevators of this section, caused by Mr. Hines' order against shipping corn out of Omaha. Shipments of corn from this city are prohibited from February 8 to 18, by the order of the director gen eral, and empty cars must be re turned to country districts to move surplus stocks. Grain men here say that terminal elevators have capacity loads now and that there is no room for ad ditional stocks from the country. Mr. Hines refused a telegraphic re quest to rescind his order, which was sent him by Mr. Smith. Conditions on the local market are still unaffected by the director general's order, according t Mr. Smith. He reported no change in the market todayi Business Men Complain of Cinders From Dodge Grading The cily -council has received complaint from Dodge street busi ness men who state that locomotives being used on the Dodge hill grad ing work emit hot cinders while making the grade with dirt cars.

Three employers of union ma chinists yesterdavasserted that the machinists' wagescale would remaijj at 80 cents an hour in spite of the decision of the Machinists' union to strike Monday unless wages were raised to 85 cents. G. C. Edgerly, secretary and gen eral manager of the Sunderland Ma chine and Supply company, de clared that employers would "stand pat" for 80 cents. "The machinists are not only asking for 85' cents an hour, but are also asking for a 44-hour week," he said. "Under present conditions it is absolutely necessary that the men work 48 hours a week." ' James L. Paxton, president of the Paxton-Mitchell company and J. L. Baker, president of the Baker Ice Machine company, announced they, too, would stand pat for 80 cents an hour and a 48-hour week. The Machinists' union was in ses sion for six hours at the laboi temple Thursday before deciding to strike for 85 cents. At the end of that time, however, George Lamb. business agent of the union, an nounced that the men had decided to strike Monday 'unless their wages were raised to 85 cents. The union also demanded a 44 hour week, but might withdraw this demand if the wage increase is granted, according to Mr. Lamb.

DRUGGISTS HERE SHY OF TANGLE IN LIQUOR LAWS Seek Permits for Small Amounts Bluffs Now Buying Whisky. Approximately 1,500 galUns of liquor will be sufficient to supply first demands of Omaha druggists, when they are able to obtain per mits to sell for medicinal purposes, according to James Hanley, federal prohibition commissioner for Ne braska.. Danger of "highjacker" raids and the strict regulations surrounding all. sales will prevent drug stores from "stocking up" extensively with liquor, Commissioner Hanley be lieves. He had on file yesterday applica tions from 150 Omaha druggists for permits. Each of these stores he ex pects to ask for a supply of from five to 10 gallons. The applications, specifying amounts requested, will be forwarded to Washington for approval and druggists may then buy from wholesale druggists hold ing permits to sell, or from govern ment bonded warehouses.
