Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 17. Less than 5 per cent he usual number of fur bearing animals in Nebraska are be ing trapped (or their pelts this' year, according to buyers and state pame officials, Fewer pelts are available this year than in history, buyers re port. It is not that there is a no ticeable scarcity of animals, but be cause hunters refuse to trap and sell pelts at present prices. Pelts of all -fur bearing animal are netting trappers less money than in years. Muskrat pelfs last year hrrmcht traorffcrs from S3 to $5.25. This year he quotation is from 25 to 50 cents. lhe exceptionally nne pelt, buyers say, will bring $1. Almk, raccoon, opossum, puer ana skunk nelts also are low in price, and very few trappers are reported to be searching tor animals. v Coon Pelt Prop, Buyers are paying from $2 to $7 for coon pelts this year. A year ago just an ordinary coon pelt brought trappers So, and hue specimen! twice that sum: - " The trapping season in Nebraska is nearly half over, It began No vember 1 and continues until Feb ruary 15. In previous years the sea son continueq untU Maren tu, Charles N. CadwMlader, head of a local fur buying company, says his company last year handled more than 75,000 muskrat pelts. "W" do ' not expect to handle more than 10 per cent of that number this year," he said. 1 rappers tell Mr. vaowaiiader, they can make more money husking corn this year. i L Won't Reduce Prices. Mr. CaJawalkr is of the opinion that present low prjees of rw furs will not bring about a reduction in finished articles. "The shortage of pelts on the fur markets." he said, "will keep thep rice of tqe finished articles up to present quotations." In the nortVwest section pf Ne braska in the lake region, fur bear ing animals, especially muskrat and mink; are said to be as numerous as usual this year. Low prices, hpw- ever, have discouraged trappers go ing after them. Another thing 4hat has dis couraged trappers this year is that they are compelled to take out state licenses, costing $2, before they can trap. This ii the first year the trap ping license law has been rigidly en forced. Employers Challenge , To Labor Is Accepted By Federation Chief New York; Ded 17.-Samuel fjompers, president of the American . Federation of Labor, in an address here last night accepted the chal lenge of employers, who hi said, "seek to destroy labor unions" and negative the principles established by unionism. ' "American Jabor accepts the chat- -leage of tbe employers and will not be driven .ack fronvits advantages," i he declared. ''Let those who ar opposing nr movement beware. Those who are working for pur de struction beware." ' One of the first acts of the newly organized labor body was the adop tion, of resolutions calling upon President Wilson and tlje State de partment to protest! against the British, atrocities in Ireland" and alsq against the burning of build ings in CofL Another resolution asked that Thomas Meoney, War ren K.
