8 A THE 'OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MARCH 7, 1920. RAILROAD MEN PREPARING FOR ANOTHER FIGHT Organized , Labor and Plumb Plan League Will Endeavor Again to Nation alize Carriers. c hi cco Trlbano-Omaha Bee iMued Wlra. Washington, March 6. Now that the railroads have been turned back to private ownership in spite. of the fight of organized labor and the Plumb plan league to prevent this consummation, organized labor-and the leaguers who would nationalize the railroads are accepting defeat but preparing every day for another battle. The Plumb plan league, which has been silent since congress passed the railroad bill and the roads were . returned, accepts the verdict tempo rarily, but announces in a statement today that it is girding for another fray With the polls of the country to be the battle ground. "Undismayed . byr. its temporary setbacft at, the hands of congress, the statement says, "the Plumb Plan league announces that it has just .'started to fight and that it will con tinue its ' agitation for ' industrial democracy sin the operation of the railroads until it becomes th$ settled policy of the American people in their treatment of the transportation problem." Say Congress Committed. The league leaders who express tne opinion of tfie reorganization on what congress and the government have done charpe that congress is committed to privilege jna reaction and predict that the railroad bill will impose crushing burdens upon the public and point out that the problem must be solved by electing a congress that will not be-pledged to the interests of the privileged. "When the people get through paying the bill for this iniquity," the Plumb Plan leaguers declare, "they will learn in several different ways that their interests have been betrayed. They already have lost -millions of dollars, and they will lose billions before they have liqui dated this' experiment."

Portugal has closed the gambling houses through out the country. During the war, traders, industri alists, and great land owners made money. In the war's wake came cor ruption, shameless profiteering and a national fever of gambling. ' . ' Some ' persons recalling the legends of Monte Carlo urged that sanctioned gambling would attract foreigners with money. Under Antonio Paes liberty was granted to gambling houses. The ef fect was deplorable. War profits and foreign capital were lavishly ex pended in fitting up scores if night clubs, luxurious casinos and gaming houses not only in Lisbon and its suburbs, but also at seaside resorts. The gambling mania spread with, its train of hush money, adventur Urges Military Measures To Expel Turks in Armenia ' Washington, March 6.

Investments in houses of vice and gambling were so profitable -that though the law forbade such places, successive governments shrank' with dealing with the "vested interests" backing such enterprises. Proposals for regulation of these places were before parliament, when the scandals published in the news papers directly challenged the chamber of deputies on the con tinued toleration of such conditions. Premier Domingoes explained that personally he opposed gam bling, kut the complicated nature of the question hitherto led to tol eration. In view of public opinion, the government decided to enforce the law closing gambling nouses throughout the country.. T he premier said he knew,it would re sult in public disturbances, but he felt the government had the power to comply with the wishes ot tne country. x Contends Bgteenth Amendment Annuls All Conflicting Laws . Washington, March 6. Solicitor General King, in a brief filed In sup port of federal . court decrees dismissing injunction proceedings against the Volstead act in Massa chusetts, contended that the loth amendment annuls all conflicting state And federal laws previously passed. The amendment, the brief added, does not take from the states authority to enact similar enforce ment legislation "except to the extent that the conferring of a con current power upon congress may be a limitation. , These contentions were designed to refute arguments that the amend ments operated to abolish all powers which either congress or the states had previously exercised over in toxicating liquors. Appeals in the case will be argued Monday with the Rhode Island suit and the . Kentucky distilleries case. U. S. Agent Held for Selling, Steamer Rugs to Himself New York, March 6. William J. Love, purchasing agent of the North Atlantic division of the United States Shipping board, has ben ar rested on a charge of having sold to himself valuaole steamer rugs which the board had taken off Ger man ships seized by the government.

Campaign on to Stabilize Building Material Prices Chicago, March 6. A campaign has been begun among building ma terial men to stabilize prices on all materials used in home building for at' least six montns. a, plea was made also for stabilization of wages. Only hy such means could the housing problem be solved, said Edward Hines, head of a lumber company, who announced the move ment. - . "Long hours, no pay nothin doin'." A moment later another young man entered, stepped briskly up to Mrs. Walker's desk and inquired if there were a job open. "I was just discharged," he ex plained, "and I'd be glad to get any kind of a job." As he left the chamber five min utes later, carrying a card entitling him to the $100-a-month job with long hours, Mrs. Walker smiled re flectively. ' Close In Three Weeks. "In three more weeks this bureau will be closed," she announced, "and I'm going to miss this work terribly. You have just seen two men and what the army did for each. Thank goodness the first type is few and far between." "Then you think service in the army and navy really helped the men?" Mrs. Walker was asked. "I believe that a large percentage of the men who served with the United States army or navy were benefited in both a physical and moral way. Their outlook was broadened and the discipline was good for them," replied Mrs. Walker. And Mrs. Walker, who in the ca- Mrs. Mabel Walker, manager of the Chamber e f Commerce soldiers' and sailors' employment bureau, ia the act of registering her first applicant, Hubert Ro usey, 3320 Fowler avenue, just discharged from the army. 1 pacity of manager of the bureau has placed 3,196 ex-service men in jobs since the close of the war, should know. She has studied the, tempera ment of the men as they approached her for positions, and is convinced that their attitude toward1 the new civilian life is of the sort which will make them valuable citizens. Moreover she is convinced that there are just 3,916 real human in terest, heart-throb stories in the 3,916 men who applied for jobs. "I was never particularly inter ested in psychology until I took charge of the bureau," declared Mrs. Walker. "Then I found that psychology was a vefy necessary science. " ' ' The Aristocrat From Boston. "One of the firjt applicants was an aristocratici"ybung second lieu tenant from Boston. He wore a wrist watch, carried a small cane, and applied for a position' as general manager of Something he wasn't sure what. He even suggested that if there was a shortage of bank presidents he would' do very well. "I assured him there were "plenty of bank presidents in the city, and he went away greatly disappointed. A few weeks later he returned.'Tbis time he wore dirty overalls and told me he had a 'temporary job' hauling coal." Council Bluffs Private. A direct antithesis to the tale of the young BostNiian is related by Mrs. Walker about a middle-aged Council Bluffs man who had been a private in the army. Thisnan came to the bureau shortly after leaving the army, admitted he lacked educa tion, but said he had a wife and two children to support, and must find work.' He was given a job Mlcking. Recently Mrs. Walker received a letter from him telling her that he had purchased a garage in a small town in South Dakota and was "doing nicely." One of the most difficult "cases" which Mrs. Walker has dealt' with is that of what she calls her "detective-soldier. The detective-soldier fought the war at Camp Funs ton: mostly in the guard house, according to his tale, and his "de tective instinct" was" simply not appreciated in the army, he declared. On the morning he applied at the bureau for a job, he carried a large bundle ot literature " which he proudly displayed. It proved to be the courses of three detective corre spondence schools. Since then Mrs. Walker has placed him in six jobs and he has been "fired" six times. Each employer explained that he found too much wrong jyith their organization. , A majority of the men applying fcr jobs preferred outdoor work, Mrs. Walker says. Of the men seek ing jobs at the bureau only about lO&were commissioned officers, and thepercentage of sailors was very small. Although a number of men were placed on Nebraska farms, a large majority of them found em ployment in Omaha. " The employment bureau was the outgrowth of a bureau founded by the chamber to secure women to fill vacant positions during the war. Mrs. Walker will remain with the chamber as convention secretary when the bureau is closed on March 1. 7 THINK BANDITS HOLD INVENTOR OF DEPTH BOMB llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Eyery Day We Are Installing ROGERS Pipe Furnaces Bay a ROGERS One-Pipe BECAUSE One You Get ROGERS SERVICE with it a slxty-flve-year-old service that Ifl betterihan ever.

Chicago, March S. Joe "Cootie" Peak, former jockey, former federal agent and adventurer-at-large, was arrested in San Diego, according to information received at the federal building. As long as he was an agile "cootie" Uncle Sam was un able to lay hands upon him. The trouble began when saloon-keepers '.ere told the federal officials they had slipped Peak $4,700 to be used in purchasing liquor for them. lie was next heard trom in New Orleans, where he started a riot in a gambling house. Detectives rushed south, but the "Cootie" was too nimble. Cuba next sent -put a call for help, as the "Cootie" was stinging all and sundry on the island. Detectives were alwavs jump behind Peak, who flitted from Cuba to San Antonio. Success made him careless. In San Diego, under an assumed name, opportunity came o shoot up a cafe and he could not resist the temptation." A govern ment mileage book, knocked out his subterfuge of an assumed name and the heavy hand of the federal gov ernment descended upon him. H,e served in tne penitentiary ai Atlanta. After he got out he was accepted as an agent of the govern ment in the narcotic division and his work at first was highly satis factorv. He .asked for and was granted leave of absence and so licited the bribe of $4,700 from Chi cago saloon-keepers. This money he presumably lost on the New Or leans and Havana races.

The situation of Vladivostok, where the local soviet government is trying to establish relations with the Moscow government, is believed to threaten complications inasmuch as the foreign military could be maintained in the city only by some form of. recognition of the local of ficials. Such recognition is unlikely to be extended by Japan in advance of a general agreement to that effect among the entente powers, it was said. Make Further Efforts To Amend Court-Martial Washington.

He owns an eight-family apartment in New York and says it pays to give your tenants a square deal. Mr. Kelly has persistently refused to raise the rents irk his house, even when some of the tenants, most of whom have live in the house for 10 and 12 years, tried to raise their own rent. Mr. Kelly declares he gets 12 per cent on his investment, which is enough. He 'is here shown with some of the tenants' children. v v ' .., .. . . 1 ,. . . 1 .

"This is the solution: "By providing a ground organiza tion of airdromes or landing fields, aids to air navigators, fuel and spare part stations throughout the coun try; by improving motors, develop ing engines more simple than tlie internal combustion engine and "by perfecting the existing engines.
