Rail Mail Clerks
Wire Protest on
20 Minutes Work
31 of 'Em on Oinahn-Ogdcn
Run Telegraph Complaint
to Washington on Length
ened Minimum Day.
A difference of practically 20 min
utes in the working day of railway
mail clerks on the
Omana-Ugiten
run lias resulted in a telegraphic
protest of 34 clerks to the postnias
, tcr-general's office in Washington.
The protest in particular was di
rected against the plan of J. H. Skid
more, chief clerk of District No. 1,
settinjr the minimum working time
of clerks on that run to six hour?
and .30 minutes, according to the
protesting clerks.
Controversy Starts.
The controversy started last week
when the chief clerk's schedule of
working hours for the clerks, that
he had prepared for postal authori
ties in Washington, leaked cut
among the men on the Omaha
Ogden run.
, In an attempt to settle the contro
vtrsy, J. H. Musgrave, superintend
ent of the Fourteenth division of the
R. M. S., called a meeting of the
clerks on the Omaha-Ogdcn run in
his office last Friday.
Dispatched to Washington.
The protest, signed hy 34 clerks,
was dispatched to Washington fol-
"lhis controversy is merely a
question of the application of the
Postoffice department's instructions,"
i declared M. 1L Blackwcll. assistant
iWperinfendent of the Fourteenth
fyv.'vision.
Leaders of the protesting com
mittee were Herman Love, Charles
Ingalls and W. J. Lucas.
Out of City.
The clerks took as a basis for their
protest the recent order of Post
master General Hayes, setting the
"maximum working time on heavy
runs at seven hours and 20 minutes,
and the minimum at six hours and
10 minutes."
Chief Clerk Skidmore holds that
the Omaha-Ogden is not a "heavy"
run and that "the department order
in regard to the time schedule does
not apply to it."
The protesting clerks declared at
the meeting that they consider the
Omaha-Ogden run one of the heav
iest in the country,

Thin Elk was lost.
He stood on the steps of the fed
eral building yesterday morning, re-
;-,, stnrincr h1nle1v ahmit him.
'-"0-' " o I - -
He was tired, too. City pavements
hurt his moccasined feet. So he set
down his battered yellow suitcase,
squatted down on the steps beside
it, and listlessly waved a huge
feather fan to and fro.
Thin Elk came down from the
Rosebud reservation at Winner, S.
D., yesterday to attend the Sioux
conference with Charles E. Hughes,
jr., son of the secretary of state.
But he was a day late.

claim a tract of 100 square mile? in
the Black Hills, opened yesterday

'Hello, I Want an Escort to Theater'
Sweet Feminine Voice Makes Request Over Tele
phone to Adjutant of American Legion, Who
Is Shocked, But Produces Young Ex-Soldier.
"Hello, is this the American
Legion?" came a feminine voice over
the telephone.
"It is," replied Adjutant H. C.
Hough.
"You maintain a service bureau?"
queried the voice.
"We do."
"W-well, c-could you f-furnish me
an escort for the theater tonight?"
The adjutant gasped with surprise,
nearly dropped the telephone, hung
on for dear life, to hear the voice
continuing
"I don't think it would look r'ght
for me to buy the tickets but I'll ask
him to the house for a very nice
lunch afterwards," she specified.
"Hello, are you there?"
Reporting for Duty.
"Just give me a moment to think,"
pleaded Hough, who survived shell
shock in the Argonne better than
the Omaha girl-shock.
Then
"Yes, I can do it," he volunteered,
gallantly.
At dusk that night, a trim young
ex-soldier, an American Legion but
ton on his coat lapel, rang the door
bell at the girl's home. . .

Lillian Russell Reports
Burglar Robbed House
Lillian Russell's in town.

fame.
No. she's Mrs. Lillian Russell,
1708 Cass street, and she complained
to the police that she found a man
in her home at that early hour of
the morning, who shook his heels and
disappeared with a pair of trousers
land a watch,
Thin Elk.
Thin Elk does not speak the white
man's language only enough to ask
a passerby for a cigaret. ,
Fortunately he was armed with a
letter from a Northwestern railroad
official at Winner, and was entrusted
to the care of local Northwestern
men who bought him breakfast and
escorted him to the station to board
a train back to Winner.
She came to answer it.
"Reporting for duty assigned by
Adiutant Hough." he notified her
briefly.
And they went out.
Adjutant Hough spent a sleepless
night that night.
His Nightmare.
"I dreamt a whole company of
girls beleaguered the American Le
gion headquarters, the reserves naa
to be called out to answer the tele
phone calls and that the men were
giving me the 'razz-berry' for pick
ing blondes instead of brunettes for
them.
"Besides I was worried about my
first experiment.
Next morning when he reached
his desk a girl's call had preceded
him.
"We had such a nice time hes
coming again another night this
week." she reported.
"We aim to please," was the
adjutant's modest reply.
Adjutant Hough said he would
vouch for the truth of the above
story "on a stack of Bibles."
Gompers Replies to
Criticism for His
Being Born Abroad
Denver, June 23. President Sam
uel Gompers took an active part yes
terday in the debate of the American
Federation of Labor conevntion and
in doing so replied to what he said
were criticisms of him because of his
foreign birth.
"There has been some criticism of
myself because I am not a native
of this country," he said. "It is a
fact that I was born in England.
I came to the United States when
I was 13 years old. I have lived
in these United States 58 years. That,
I dare say, is a longer period than
the average Americans who were
born in this country."
Relating that he had become a
citizen at the earliest opportunity
when he was 21 years old, he con
tinued: "I always looked to America, I
believed in America. I have en
deavored to be a loyal and patriotic
citizen of the republic of the United
States of America. I believe in this
republic." ' ,

Corn to Be Banner
Crop of Nebraska
This Year. Is Word
Cultivation Now Is Two
Weeks Ahead of Any Other
Year on Record, Declares
Statistician.
Lincoln, Neb., June 23. Corn
will be Nebraska's banner crop this
year and the state cultivation is now
two weeks ahead of any other year
on record, according to A. E. An
derson, statistician of the federal bu
reau of crop estimates.
In the eastern part of the state
most of the counties report that the
crop has already been cultivated
twice, though the usual time for sec
ond cultivation is about the first
week in July, and in western Ne
braska corn has been cultivated
once, a condition equally as good,
proportionately, as the rest of the
state.
Corn Growing Fast.
Mr. Anderson states that the
Fourth of July is usually the date
that farmers in the state count on
beginning the second plowing, but
that this year the corn will be too
high for further cultivation at that
date.
Some of the reports received by
Mr. Anderson which he says show
the general condition in the state
are a.s follows:
Cedar county reports that corn is
10 days ahead of usual. In Ante
lope county corn has been "cultivated
the second time and in Adams coun
ty is about two weeks ahead of
usual for this date. Jefferson coun
ty also reported that the wheat crop
was two weeks ahead of usual.
Winter Was Favorable.
The excellent condition of grain
is ascribed by Mr. Anderson to the
peculiarly favorable winter and
spring weather which has obtained
throughout the state.
"Winter just melted into spring,
he said, "with hardly any change
m weather; and due to early warm
weather the farmers got their plow
ing done much earlier. Since then
we have had the proper amount
of moisture and very favorable temi
