: Company.
Baltimore, Md.. Feb. 28. All the
cranemen and steam power men em
ployed by the Baltimore Dry Docks
& Ship Building company went out
today making altogether about 2,000
labor unionists there who have
truck on what the company lays
is the open shop Issue.
An official of the company said
today's developments forced the dis
continuance of all new construction
and necessitated the laying off of
2,000 additional workmen. The
company is now able to do only
emergency repair work.
Holdcn A. Evans, president of the
company, today reiterated his pre
vious statement that his company

a ship or turns a wheel."
Seven large oil tankers are under
construction at the company's yards
and about 15 vessels are undergoing
repairs.
Omaha Auto Show Is
Ready for Opening
(Continued From Tint race.)
p. ni. Monday until 10:30 p. m. next
Saturday. The hours following
Monday opening will be from 9:30
a. in. to 10:30 p. m.
The big show arenas at the Audi
torium and the Annex, soutH of the
Auditorium building, are expected
to be crowded daily during those
hours by Omaha throngs and visi
tors flocking here from over all
of the Nebraska and the western
Iowa territory served by the big
Omaha distributors.
For these visitors the Auditorium,
under supervision of the best of in
terior decorative talent, has been
converted into a representation of
the Italian renaissance period, as
interpreted by Vittore Carpaccio.
The color scheme will be green,
orange and black, on a white back
ground. Japanese Wistaria Garden.
Over at the annex, Olaf Gett
schalk, master painter, has Arranged
a decorative effect representing
Japanese summer time, with cherry
blossoms and wistaria brightening
and heightening Japanese tapestry
effects.
Contrasting with these Europe,
and Oriental effects will be the 100
per cent American idea carried oui
m the Auditorium basement where
flags and red, white and blue bunt
ing will wave over cars that also win
represent the studiest Americanism,
jsm.
- Decorative effects throughout the
show will be enhanced by an elec
trical display which will throw a
brilliant flood of light over the
polished surfaces of America's finest
CtLTS
"Music All the Time."
Show plans include concerts each
afternoon and evening by the Rang
val Oleson orchestra, which will of
fer the most pretentious musical
program ever attempted at an
Omaha motor ear show. Tuesday
night will be "Musical Night" at the
show and the big society event oi
the week.
In harmony with auto show festiv
ities it will be a gala week along
"automobile row," with a continuous
round of entertainment for car
, nnmpri nrjiviu-ii 11111 vimiiiiu i i i. ii i "
ers. Heads of Omaha distributing
agencies have arranged a series ot
dajices and other entertainment
features that -will keep visitors from
ennui at any period of the day.
To Smash Sales Records.
They expect, howeverto combine
business with pleasure and are look
ing forward to smashing previous
sales records for show week.
"For," they say," we're offering
better cars and trucks this year than
the public ever before has been
asked to" buy. Early orders indicate
the supply of cars this year, just as
in 1919, is going to fall far behind
the enormous demand. The people
of this rich section have the money
to buy and they want cars."
Show spectators this year will be
particularly impressed with numeri
ous improvements in design and me
chanical construction in all of the
new models shown.
Engineers and designers during
fche last yeat, content with the
proven worth of cars of previous
years, have made no radical de
partures in basic principles of eon
' struction, but have centered their at
tention on providing increased com
fort for the motorist, improving the
general appearance of cars and per
fecting details of mechanical con
struction. AU-the-Year Cars.
- There will be noticeable a steadily
growing tendency toward standard
ization of parts and simplification of
construction and additional steps to
ward lighter building, as an economy
measure for cutting the cost of
car operation.
The rapidly growing popularity of
the all-the-year closed car will be
evidenced by a more complete dis
play than ever before offered of
coupe, sedan and limousine models.
In these models particular attention
has been paid to upholstering, in
terior finish and details affording
additional comfort for the motorist
New Ideas in Tracks.
There will be a noticeable absence
of new makes of cars. The only
exhibit approximating an' entirely
new offering is the R. & V., which
is the Moline-Knight of' last year
with numerous changes. Some rad
i ical shifting of body designs, how
ever( will give show visitors plenty
of surprises as they look for their
favorite makes of cars.
There arc a number ef new ideas
represented, too, for those interested
in progress ef motor truck and trac
tor building, among them the Parke
tractor now being turned out from
n Omaha factory.
Passenger cars on exhibition will
vary in price from $11,000 to $583.70.
Tracks will range in price from $600
to $7,500. - i :.
College Students Repeat
Special Prayer Sunday
More than 200,000 students of
American colleges affiliated with the
Interchurch World movement will
repeat tomorrow as a feature of
Life Enlistment day a special prayer
for colleges prepared by the Inter
church Spiritual Resources depart
ment This prayer, which will be
used in college chuYehes and chapels
generally throughout the country,
was prepared in recognition of the
prominent part which the institu
tions of higher education in the
United States will play in the In
terchurch World movement
Tentative budget estimates have
allotted to the American Edu
cational commission of the Inter
church one-third of the hundreds of
millions which will be required to
finance the program of co-operation
among evangelical denominational
bodies.
Impose Christian Atmosphere,
On their part the colleges and
universities are seeking to impose
a genuinely Christian atmosphere
npon alt the activities of their etir
dents and to increase the number
of recruits to the ranks of religious
leaden, professional and lay. These
points are emphasired in the prayer,
which follows:
"Tho only Wise God, Who art
the source of knowledge and wis-
aora: inuminate, we pray lhee, all
schools, colleges and universities
with the light that cometh from
above. Make tlieir officers and
teachers ever mindful of their
Christian stewardship over lives en
trusted to their care. Win students
everywhere to commit themselves
to Thee and to accept in prayer and
gladness Thine own plan of life for
them. Lift up their eyes to see the
fields already white unto the har
vest and send forth laborers ade
quate to gather in Thy ripening
grain. Enlarge the hearts of peo
ple everywhere we bessech Thee
to support these institutions and
to join with Thee in keeping clear
to all the world that 'the fear of
the Lord is the beginning of wis
dom and that 'except the Lord
build the house they labor in vain
that build it' In Jesus' name.
Amen."
Will Appeal to Alumni.
In addition to this direct appeal
to the undergraduates of the coun
try a comprehensive effort has been
made to reach the alumni. Inter
church leaders have devised a plan
by which every pastor in the United
States has been asked to present
the enlarged program of the church
es to all college and university grad
uates in his parish.
Thousands of workers are sought
for some distinctive form of Chris
tian service as a life work, both at
home and abroad. It is explained
that while in many thousands of
cases special preparation is required
there re other thousands where po
sitions may be filled by earnest
Christian college and university
graduates.
