mercc at a meeting yesterday went
on record as opposed to increasing
; the wages of policemen or firemen
;i and any increase in the salaries! of
'. employes in any citjr department
during 1921. A committee was ap-
pointed to confer with the city com
J '.nissioners when they are consider
ing the municipal budget for 1921.
. at theft meeting Wednesday.
Reports to the committee on mu
nitipal affairs discussed by the ex
ecutive committee showed that the
proposed increase of policemen's
wages would mean!an outlay of
,.$100,000 to the city during the com.
ing year.
The members declared their stand
', was based on the fact that the pres
ent is an inopportune time to raise
'. wages as retrenchment is under way
in nearly alt business lines and the
'"cost of living is being loVered and
would continue to fal for some
... time.
Mayor Smith has propd to the
city counciryesterday that the pay
of policemen and firemen during
1921 shall be on the same basis, as
1920, prior to December 1. "

The Business .and Professional
Women's league, following the ex
ample recently set by the men, will
hold an "Onward Omaha" dinner at
the Chamber of Commerce January
20. It Was decided to charge $1.50
a plate and to have as v principal
speaker a woman of national reputa
tion. At the recent "Onward Omaha"
dinner at the Auditorium there were
no women speakers, but this will not
deter the women tor inviting a tew
of the "lords of creation" to address
them at their' party.
The business and professional
women of Omaha believe they can
assist in prombting the "'Onward
Omaha" spirit during this year and
they want to do their full share in
making Omaha one of the best cities
of the world.
The league engaged in consider
able' controversy over the question
of whether men should be admitted
under any circumstances on January
20, and after spirited discussion, it
was decided to admit a limited num
ber of male onlookers and to ask
a few to assist in making the ar-
frangements.
