SEWARD SHIPS TO
OMAHA NINE CARS
OF EGGS IN DAY
At Restaurant Prices Consign
ment . Brings $103,680,
$50,403 More Than
Producers Received.
According to a Seward live stock
shipper, there ought to' be an abun
, dance of eggs in Omaha, as he said
all produce shipment records were
broken in Seward county last, week
when one day a Seward commission
; firm sent to Omaha nine cars of
fresh eggs.
' The nine cars consisted of 36,000
cases. 30 dozen to the case, or 1,
296,000 eggs, for which the com-
, mission company paid $53,277, and
the eggs were sold in Omaha at 50
cents a dozen or $94,000, making a
difference of $40,723 out of which
Mas paid freight and the cost of
handling before ;ind after the eggs
reached Omaha. At eight cents
apiece, the price charged in res
taurants, the eggs sell for $103,080
or $50,403 more than the producers
received.
Eggs are shipped into Seward
from a radius of from 30 to 50 miles,
and Seward county furnishes about
300 cases a week and the total daily
receipts of the commission company
vary from 200 to 400 cases daily.
It is said there is a growing de
mand for eggs freed from the shell,
which comes from the east. Eggs
with dirty shells and those cracked
after being tested are used for tin's
purpose. The eggs are broken into
large cans and frozen, after which
they are shipped iu refrigerator cars.

Mayor Has Two Plans
For Proposed Free
Bridge Over Missouri
Two plans for the operation of a
free bridge over the Missouri river
between Omaha and Council Bluffs
were outlined yesterday by Mayor
Ed P. Smith in his talk at the week
ly meeting of the Omaha Real
Estate board. v '
The first plan, which Mayor
Smith said he favored, provided for
the widening of the Douglas street
bridge to accommodate double
street car tracks and two automobile
driveways. The expense of this
work should he born by both cities,
he said, and after its completion the
bridge should become free to all.
In case that could not be arranged,
he favored the construction of a new
bridge at Farnam street. Council
Bluffs citizens and residents of west
ern Iowa arc universally in favor of,
a free bridge, Mayor Smith stated.1
The city council of Council Bluffs
believes that 35 per cent of the cost:
Pan be raised on that side of the
rivtfr.
During his talk Mayor Smith de
clared that Omaha is the only point
between the Atlantic and Tacific
oceans on. the Lincoln highway
where a tojl is exacted of persons
desiring to enter a city. Kansas City
is seeking to- divert transcontinental
travel away from Omaha and one of
their talking points will be the toll
bridge, the mayor said.
Federal Revenue Men
Checking Firms Who
Employ Child Labor
A report was filed yesterday by
Chief Deputy Collector K. J. Car
son of the internal revenue office on
investigations made in Omaha by a
corps of revenue agents concerning
the employment of children under
14 years of age.' '
The purpose of the investigation
was to acquire a basis for a special
federal tax of 10 per cent levied on
annual net profits of firms employ
ing children less than 14 years old.
Deputy Carson declined to state
whether any Omaha concerns were
violating 'the state child labor laws.
According to his statements, the per
centage of children employed in
Omaha is, small.
The survey of child employment
will be continued throughout th
state. Offenders against the stat
laws will be dealt with by state au
thonties, after the evidence is turnc
over by the federal officers.
