Today Nathan Rosenberg, 39, will be excused from jury duty so he may receive his diploma at com
mencement exercises at Cass school where his three children also are students. . "
In the picture are Mr. and Mrs. Rosenberg with their three chidren, left to right, Joseph, 9; Esther, 7, and
David, 10.
For the first time in Omaha school
history, an eighth grade diploma will
be awarded to an adult.
Nathan Rosenberg, 39, father of
three children, will receive the cov
eted piece of paper at Cass school
graduating exercises today.
It will be the proudest achieve
ment of his life, Rosenberg admits.
"I never could have dbne it with
out, my faithful wife," he modestly
disclaims. "She deserves the credit,
not i.1;
His wife's willingness to assume
the burden of caring for their little
junk shop at 1008 North Sixteenth
street, no woman's work indeed
while her husband attended school
every day, along with his three lit
tle ones, in addition to her house
hold duties, made it possible from
the economic standpoint for him to
keep up his studies.
And Rosenberg is not through, hie
intends to enter high school in the
fall and continue through the four
year course. ... ' ,
"I don't want my children to be
ashamed of their old dad when they
get older," is his simple explanation.
"I have come to a new land of op
portunity, shall bring up my chil
dren to be loyal Americans and I
want to set them a good example."
Rosenberg has taken out nis citi
zenship papers and, indeed, is serv
ing on the jury this week, the great
week of his graduation.
Rosenberg came to this country
from Warsaw, Poland, less than nine
years ago and settled in the east.
"But I wasn't learning to be an
American fast enough in the crowded
ghettoes, so I decided to come west,
where I was told I could learn Eng
lish more quickly."
He came to Omaha three years
ago with his family and immediately
entered Cass school.
All the tribute of a grateful nature
he lays at the feet of Miss Rose
Bernstein, teacher of the ungraded
room at Cass.
"She who gave me my earliest
training helped me over the rough
spots and gave me courage to go
on. She prepared me for the eighth
grade work, which I had to take in
order to get my diploma.
It was "hard lines" for the' man of
middle age to leave the ungraded
room, where other adults were also
being taught, to enter a room of only
children of 13 and 14, but the strong
urge for an education saw him
through. Now he prefers the day
classes at high school to the evening
ones, which many adults attend.
"I cannot afford to waste the time
I am getting too old. If I should
fan in one subject, look what time I
would lose if I chose the night
classes.
The three kiddies enjoy going to
school with their daddy.
They are David, 10; Joe, 9, and
Esther, 7 years old.
Incidentally. Rosenberg will be
excused from jury duty today so he
may graduate. .
Explanation of Peace
Plan Asked by Holt
i . .. .
(Contlnned from Pace On.)
half the earth and whose population
numbers three-quarters of the human
race. You even permitted, without
rebuke, your ambassador at the court
of St. James to say that you will
have nothing to do with any 'com
mission or committee appointed by
the league or responsible, to it di
rectly or indirectly, openly or furtively.'
You have, nevertheless, as presi
dential candidate, repeatedly prom
ised ; during the campaign, and as
president you have reiterated that
promise, that you will seek to es
tablish 'an association of, nations
based upon the application of jus
tice and right, binding us in con
ference and co-operation for the pre
vention of war and pointing the way
to a higher civilization and interna
tional fraternity in which all the
world might share.'
"You have not yet given the
American people the slightest ink
ling of the terms of this Harding
association that you propose shall
supplant the Wilson league. Has
not the time come, I respectfully
ask, for you to do this. Surely you
cannot expect the 48 members of
the' present league to scrap it and
come into your association unless
two things are pefectly clear:
"First, that the new association is
substantially as good or better than
the existing league, and,
Must Have Support '
"Second, that this time a proposal
of a resident of the United States
will have a permanent and over
whelming support of the American
people. . -
You are a statesman or sumciem
experience to know that our people
will not suDDort vour association-
no matter how excellent without the
fullest preliminary discussion. Events
of the last two years have demon
strated this. You cannot, therefore,
hooe to tret oublic opinion behind
your association without taking your
countrymen into your connaence.
"Even if your . own party were
completely united on the issue, you
would still have to get some demo
cratic suDPOrt fo assure the ratifica
tion of your association by two-thirds
of the senate. As your party was
the one that first made the league
party issue, the democratic senators
would be only human now if they
turned the tables and also made your
a'ssociation a party issue." They con
trol more than a third of the votes
in the senate and they can block you
as you and your colleagues blocked
Mr. Wilson.
Effective Plan Necessary. .
"If-you expect to gain democratic
support, it is incumbent upon you
to propose an .association so con
crete and effective as to commend
itself to the enlightened sqfise of
both parties. Therefore, the quicker
you take the American people into
your confidence the better.
I here is anotner ana even more
important reason why you should
disclose the details of your plan at
once. .
The world is on the brink of
revolution, famine and pestilence.
The only great ideas that have come
out of this war as world panaceas
are the league of nations and bol
shevism. If you repudiate the ex
isting league and delay too long to
suggest anything in its place, you
run the very real risk of making the
world believe you have no plan at
all and if that comes to be generally
believed, can you guarantee that the
world would not turn to bolshcvism?
Time to Redeem Promises.
"Mr. President, the time has come
for you to redeem your premises.
The country and the world have
waited long enough to know just
what kind of an association of na
tions you have in mind. If you
delay much further, people every
where will inevitably conclude that
either you have no concrete plan at
all, or else that you propose to put
party harmony above world welfare.
In that event there will be nothing
left for those who want America to
play her rightful part in stabilizing
the world, but to organize the coun
try so as to capture congress for the
league in 1922 and the presidency
in 1924. This can be done, for the
vast majority of the American peo
ple republicans as well as demo
crats, want the United States to en
ter some sort of a league or associa
tion with enough 'teeth in it' definite
ly to. hasten the daywhen, as Victor
Hugo prophesied, 'the only battle
field will be the market opening to
commerce and the mind opening to
new ideas.'"
Pueblo Appeals Not
Necessary, Says Weeks

The otherwise unemployed given
employment by city. Red Cross con
curs that total unable to earn enough
to pay for food does not exceed 300.
Red Cross reports that it has so
much supplies that they cannot un
load them and could feed the whole
population of the city with non-perishables
for one month. Out of 407
tents erected, only 59 are occupied;
out of 250 beds in field hospital, less
than 70 are occupied. Further emer

one to distribute them unnecessary.

Will Remove Mud.
The principal trouble needing im
mediate relief," the secretary added,
"is the removal of mud and debris
and the repair of the water facilities
of the town all in the interests of
proper sanitation and to prevent an
epidemic The secretary of war has
therefore authorized the expenditure
of not to exceed $100,000 for the
city and it is now estimated by
Colonel Caples that the work of re
moving mud and debris can be ac
complished by June 30 at a cost of
about $85,000.
"As a further sanitary measure,
the closing of fcreaks in the levees
and the repair of the water system
of the town, which is the remaining
most Imperative requirement, the
secretary of war has authorized the
expenditure of not to exceed, for the
present, $80,000 for that purpose,
which was recomended by Colonel
Caples as result of his inspection on

Labor Meeting Rejects
Plan of One Big Union
(Continued from Pace One.)
nearly a score of delegates jumped
from their seats and demanded the
name of the delegates who had ob
jected. He declined to give the
name of the delegates. As the con
fusion increased, President William
Hutcheson of the United Brother
hood ' of Carpenters and Joiners
arose and said:
"If you want to know who the ob
jector is it is I." ,
Several delegates called his name
aloud as the convention proceeded to
further business.
The resolution also urged that
steps be taken to have the govern
ment "abolish this unlawful organi
zation known as the Klu Klux Klan,
or White Caps," and that the feder
ation use its "best endeavors to pro
tect organized labor as represented
by the colored workers."
One of the greatest ovations ever
given a speaker in any federation
convention was given to the Rev.
G. S. Lackland of the Grace Metho
dist Episcopal church of Denver,
who discussed the "duty of the
church to labor." He was cheered
repeatedly by the delegates as he
condmned the enemies of organized
labor.
"The dense ignorance of the other
side will win the fight for labor," he
declared, outlining alleged attempts
by business men and others to sup
press the church investigation of the
tramway strike in Denver last sum
mer. 1
, Aid American Homes. I
'T'he pulpits of America have
been pleading for the women and
children of Belgium," said Mr. Lack
land. "Why in God's name do they
not plead for the women and chil
dren of America?"
"Three-fourths of the 300,000
babies that died last year died in the
homes of working men where the
open shop or American shop, so
called, conditions prevail where
they deflate labor."
He declared the American Legion
should "get together in the fight for
the masses," adding, "I believe they
will." ,
Col. Olney M. Ousley, director of
the American Legion, brought a
fraternal message from that organi
zation to the laboring men.
"The harmony of this natioA and
its honor only can be preserved by
upholding the constitution of the
United States," he said, closing with
an appeal for justice to "each and
every man."
Reports that President John
Lewis of the United Mine Workers
would announce his candidacy for
the presidency of the federation in
opposition to Mr. Gompers within
the next few days could not be con
firmed tonight
The miners' leader declined to
make any statement. Representa
tives of several unions ' supporting
Lewis claim that a canvass of dele
gates shows that Lewis is assured
of from 14,000 to 20,000 votes of the
more than 35,000 votes in the con

Chadron.
Smoker Is Death Trap.
Four or five persons who died
from injuries were taken from the
smoking car.
Confusion in the black of the night
caused doctors and rescuers from
Chadron, who were sent to the scene
by the dispatcher, to send conflicting
reports of the number of dead, one
early report going as high as 40.
Complete list of the dead and in
jured was soon wired to H. E.
Dickinson, general superintendent 'at
