IMI fell PITH r V id CARMEN AND COMPANY N WARM CLASH ' Employes and Street Car Offi cials Evade Attempt to Bind Them to Verdict of Railway Commission in Wage Dispute. STATE BOARD ADJOURNS 1 HEARING TILL MONDAY Attorneys Engage in Heated Controversy When Effort Is Made to Force Union Men to Surrender Walkout Rights. The state Railway commission ad journed its hearing on the wage dis pute between the carmen's union and the Omaha and Council Bluffs Street Railway company until next Monday morning at 10, after an all-day ses sion in the court house yesterday, which was devoted entirely to argu , ments ' regarding the jurisdiction of ' the commission over the dispute. Harry G. Taylor, chairman of the commission, informed attorneys for the union and the company that the commission would announce defi nitely Monday whether or not it would take jurisdiction over the con troversy. He instructed the oppos ing factions to be prepared to carry on the hearing at once, provided tru commission decided that it had law ful jurisdiction over the dispute. The company challenged the con stitutional right of the commission to fix wages at the hearing yestei clay, contending that by no interpre tation of either the constitutional or statutory law could the commission fix the contract price between the employer and the employe. Heated Argument Ensues. Throughout the session members of the commission sought some as surance that should they take up the matter the union would abide by their decision and not strike should the decision be unfavorable. A heat ed debate began when a member of the commissicm asked Atorney Frank M. Coffee of Lincoln, counsel for the union, if the union would ic tatisfied If a raise was npt granted. "Will the street car company abide by the commission's deci sion?" shouted Mr. Coffjey. glaring at John L. Webster, counsel for the company. "We always have and always will abide by the decision of the courts," replied Mr. Webster, half rising from his chair in anjrer. "The com pany doesn't go off and take se cret votes to strike, either!" "No, but your board of directors' meetings are very secret, retorted Coffey. In reply to a direct question whether the union would call a strike or take the matter to the su preme court if the commission granted no increase, A. "H. Bigelow, counsel for the union, saidr "If the board makes a careful and trrpartial investigation of the situa tion and finds that a wage increse i:: not necessary its decision will be of great weight with members of the union, and with the iublic. It take3 a stronger body than any union to defeat public sentiment." "The union should not expect the commission to take up the matter unless it , comes before you with clean hands," declared Mr. Webster. "To do that; it must revoke the strike order. The company offered in good faith to submit its books to the commission for examination provided the men would abide by the commission's findings. Both Factions Confident. "They 'agreed to this one day and the next day declared that the strike would not be called off if the com mission's findings were not satis factry. It would be better if vt'.ie company should employ an entirely new force, if this eternal conflict is to continue." .Both factions expressed confidence that the commission would decide in their favor. "The commission will have to re verse a former stand if it decires that ft has no jurisdiction over the wage dispute, declared Attorney Bigelow. "We are confident that it will proceed with the hearing on Monday." Company official? would not state what action the company would taKe if the hearing was continued. , ,The union requested a wage in crease of 13 cents an hour in its com plaint filed with the commission, and ftated that a strike had been voted. Mr. Bigelow explained during the hearing that "a failure on the part of the commission to grant the entire 13 cents did not mean that a, strike would be called." Hanscbm Park Monkey Gets ' Loose.

Prohibition Plank Lost in Shuffle of Chicago Convention Chicago, June 10. The repub lican platform plank designed to deal with prohibition got lost' in the shuffle todav, furnished a new thrill for "wets'" and "drys" and raised some question of its legal status. . ' The plank does ' not mention prohibition, but is a "law and order" declaration for impartial enforcement of all laws. In a mixup from confusion of platform work, the plank was left from the great pile taken to the Coliseum and read by Chairman Watson of the resolutions com mittee. It was not read to the convention and was not in 'the platform as officially adopted, but Chairman, Watson, Senator Smoot and others in charge of the docu ment declared it was adopted by the resolutions committee and is 1 Pt p the platform, like a tquadron 0 cavalry.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bh Leased Wire. Washington, June 10. Possibil ity of the immediate enactment of waterpower legislation loomed up today. Attorney General Palmer gave President Wilson an inform,al opinion that he has until tomorrow night to act upon the waterpower bill which was thought to have been killed by the pocket veto method Although it has been penerally supposed that a measure not signed at the time of the adjournment of congress automatically died, the at torney general takes a' contrary view. It is his contention that-the president has a period of 10 days in which to sign a bill, regardless of whether congress may have .ad journed in the meantime or. not. The 10 days period in the case of the waterpower bill would expire tomorrow night In the case of ether measures, including the reso lution for the repeal of war legis iation and the Underwood resolu tion for the appointment of a com mission to negotiate with the Cana dian government for the lifting of embargoes on shipments of pulp, of wood to this country, the president lias until June 15 to act.

Nomina tion Anybody's Victory Until Final Ballot of Delegates Impossible to Foresee Result. -i WOOD MANAGERS COUNT ON STORM OF ORATORY, Base Hopes of Success Upon Fourth Roll Call Opponents Count on Governor Lowden For Elimination of General. By ARTHUR SEARS HENNING. Chirag-o' Tribune-Omaha Bee Leaned Wire. Chicago, June 10. Having adopted the -platform without dis sension and averted the danger of a party split, the republican national convention will begin to ballot to morrow on the nomination of a can didate for president. It is possible that the nomina tion will be accomplished before night, but if a deadlock should de velop the convention will adjourn until Saturday to enable the leaders to effect a compromise on a candi date capable of commanding a ma jority vote. Amid the maze of mariioulations and maneuverings going on in and about the Michigan avenue hotels to night it was more evident than ever that the contest to be staged in the Coliseum tomorrow will be a free-for-all fight and the outcome any- uuuy hi-ioij. jrreuicuons or suc cess by the managers of candidates were rife, but seasoned politicians, divesting themselves of professional bias for the purposes of cold, critical analysis, confessed it folly to at tempt prognostication. Nothing Sure Yet. "Such gatherings and conferences as have been held disclose that every leader here has soiwe very definite notion and knows wso will not be nominated, but he ts stumped when it comes to saying who will be nominated," said one of the chief tains. "The fact is that the most aslute politician on the scene has about as much idea tonight of the ticket this convention will nominate as a player in a 10-handed pocker game knows who will win the next pot." - The early part of the session, be ginning tomorrow morning, will be devoted to the nomination speeches and demonstration for candidates. Then will come the balloting, the Wood managers desiring no inter mission between the speeches and the voting, for they are counting upon a great wave of enthusiasum for the general heightened by ora tory, to carrv him steadily forward on each .ballot - to virtnrv nn tlm fourth roll call. On the other hand Wood will suffer from the disadvantage of go ing to bat first and being subjected to the terrific pounding of his allied rivals and all the other elements de termined to prevent, if, possible, his nomination.

By E. C. SNYDER. (Washington Correnpondent Omaha Bee.) Convention Hall, Chicago, June 10. (Special Telegram.) Governor McKelvie for vice president if Low den is not nominated, was heard on many sides of political row tonight McKelvie today made a speech be fore the Hamilton club, which has been open house to every bitr repub lican of whatever leanings during the convention, and the governor from the great prairie state stood the guests, two or three hundred, on their feet when he said that the farmer deserved the sympathetic consideration of all the people. "An appeal to reason instead of agita tion is needed," he said, "and the great rural sections of the country should have consideration not only in the platform but in the makeup of the ticket. He said that while not a critic of contentions like Chauncey Depew hiss observations about the conven tion now in session was the absence of so-called bossisms, that had char acterized the makeup of the conven tions of other days. "The delegates in this convention have the respon sibilty of naming a presidential can didate such as no convention of the republican party ever accorded them in my short political history or in my reading of epochal events con nected with the party's achievments." he said. "That is something worth while. "It was my good fortune to listen to a session of the committee on resolutions the first open session of such a committee ever held and it was an inspiration to listen to those who had something concrete to offer which -should be embodied in the party's bill of rights. "Agriculture is the most intimate thing with which you have to deal," said the governor, "for it means life, it means food, it means clothing, and it should be recognized in this convention at its true worth." The speech scored and many of the delegates who were present said, "Why not get behind McKelvie?" and they have started the boom for "Little Mac," for second place on the ticket.

The delegates are now all set for the great gladia torial contest tomorrow,, when the candidates for the White House the largest field in j;he party's history will be placed in nomination. The platform, with its various compromises on the senti ment of several groups regarding the league of nations, on industrial questions and on economic issues, went through without a hitch worthy the name. Chicago's city hall and Wisconsin sought to caise a diversion after Senator Watson of Indiana had finished bari tomng the resolution. Delegate Gross of Wisconsin arose with the minority report. The Badger state was ready, to conform hardly a convention passes without a minority plank of some sort, which invariably is tossed out with the Here Are High Points In Platform Adopted By Republican Party Complete avoidance of any pledge - to ratify the treaty of peacev and the league of nations with or without reservations.

New York, June 10. A dark horse boom for Gen. John J. Pershing for the democratic presidential nomina tion was set in motion here today. It was announced that Edward E. Goltra, national democratic commit teeman from Missouri, will go to Washington to invite Gen. Pershing to attend the San Francisco conven tion as the guest of a big Missouri delegation on a special train. Pershing is a native of Missouri and the men! behind the movement claim he is eligible for nomination as a democrat, although he has no defi nite party alignment. Democrats here said that the fact that Senator Warren of Wvnmincr is Pershing's father-in-law has led to the impression that Pershing was a repuoiican, out tnat this impression was without foundation ni fact.

Gross asked for a roll call on his material, but it required the second ing of two other states to put this" over. No other states responded and the minority substitute was wiped out "by a viva voce vote that showed all lungs in excellent working order.

"The point is sustained," held Chairman Lodge, which caused an other gale of laughter, inasmuch as the resolutions committee is through with its duties. The platform was then adopted and the convention adjourned until 9:30 tomorrow morning. rAs usual on the third day the convention woke uo. It tested out its lungs, shed its coats and thawed into noise and joviality. Great crowds turned out as the . "big day" approached. The Coli seum became an oven.
