If Omaha theater managers stand
pat for their demand of a 25 per

we will go."

they would go.

Packer Workmen
Plan Appeal on
Wages to Harding
Union Is for Conciliation First
Says President; Strike
Resolutions Offered
By Delegates.
An anneal to President Harding
tn annoint an arbitrator to heir) ad
just difficulties between packers and
their employes will be made if a
plan for a national working agree
ment being drafted by officials and
delegates of the Amalgamated Meat
Cutters and Butcher Workmen is
not acceptable to the packers, C. J.
Hayes, the unions international
president, told newspaper men yes
terday. Mr. Hayes made this statement at
the conclusion of the morning's
conference of delegates and interna
tional nfflrers ni the union meeting
here to formulate a plan to negoti
ate an agreement witn tne pacxers
to take effect when the present na
tional agreement expires next Sep
tember 15.
For Concilation.
"This conference," said President
Hayes, "will evolve a plan of work
ing conditions, hours and wages.
That plan will be presented to the
packers for their approval. Our
union is for conciliation, of course,
and we will be perfectly satisfied to
discuss these terms with the pack
ers. But, should we fail to reach
an agreement President Harding
will be appealed to and asked to ap
point an arbitrator to mediate be
tween the men and the packers."
The conference has not yet begun
formulating the plan to be submitted,
according to President Hayes, but
spent all morning discussing resolu
tions submitted on the subject by
different delegates. It was under
stood that an effort was to be
made to embody the ideas of
the various resolutions into one reso
lution. Strike Resolutions.
"The resolutions introduced cover
everything from Alaska to the South
Pole," said President Hayes. "Some
of them are tame; some are very
radical; some of them cover the
ground which the delegates introduc
ing them think the union workmen
should take, should the packers re
fuse our plans. I am free to say
that, while most of these resolutions
are conciliatory in nature, some of
them call for strikes.
"Every one of the 117 delegates in
the conference is being called cn
for a report from his district, and
for resolutions which the men of
his district have instructed him to
present. At the close of the con
ference no delegate will be able to
say that he did not have a chance
to talk all he wanted to."
Door Yard of Furnas
County Farm Deluged
By Flood of Melons
Beaver City, Neb., Aug. 16.
(Special.) Inmates of the Furnas
county farm house could hardly be
lieve their eyes when they looked
out and saw thousands of melons
piled up in the door yard of the
county home. There were water
melons of all descriptions, canta
loupes, old-fashioned muskmelons
and the newer banana melons.
These were Reaped up and strewn
about in all directions. It was a
free helping for everybody.
The melons had floated down to
the county farm upon a wave of
water from a farm a mile away,
where a sudden shower had poured
upon a melon patch and washed the
succulent fruit down stream.
Lincoln to Have
Muny Coal Yard
"Brother Charley" Wins An
other Fight as Councilmen
Pass Ordinance.
Lincoln, Aug. f6. (Special.)
"Brother Charley" Bryan won an
other fight here today when the Lin
coln commissioners passed an ordi
nance nrovidine for establishment of
a municipal coal yard.
Bryan's demand for a municipal
ice plant was withdrawn a few
weeks ago when the Beatrice Cream
ery company, sole distributors of ice
in Lincoln, announced that in the
future it would sell ice for the
same price that the commodity is
sold by the unicipal ice plant in
Omaha.
Referendum petitions calling for
a public market, Bryan's last de
mand, and recall of Mayor Frank
Zehrung and; a city commissioner
for their alleged opposition to this
plan, which, it is declared, the people
expressed a desire to work out by
giving Bryan a bigger vote than
Zehrung in the city election, are be
ing circulated by Bryan's friends.
There was hope expressed here to
day that the last of the Bryan plans
would be carried out by the city
commissioners rather than to face a
recall and referendum election. "

Cache of Accessories Un
covered Near Fremont.
Fremont, Neb., Aug. 16. (Special
Telegram.) Following a thrilling
chase in which two automobiles
were wrecked in the ditch of the
Lincoln highway west of Fremont,
two stolen cars were recovered
and discovery of a cache of auto
accessories in a corn field was
uncovered here yesterday evening
with the arrest of Kurt Lambrecht,
18, alias Car Peterson, who claims
to hail from Grand Island.
About a week ago a touring car
stripped of all its accessories was
found standing near the J. W. Kem
mel farm, west of Fremont The
next morning Kemmel discovered
that his machine also had been strip
ped of its accessories. He reported
the affair to Sheriff Condit.
On Sunday, August 14, Sydney
Allen, farmer, noticed a machine
standing near the same place where
the other car had been seen. As he
approached, Lambrecht started his
motor and headed for Fremont. Al
len gave chase. As Lambrecht
turned to pass a car, an automobile
driven by Bernard Bennett narrow
ly escaped total destruction when
the driver plunged the car into the
ditch, breaking a wheel and doing
other damage.
The chase continued and Lam
brecht lost control of his car and
also went headlong into the ditch.
When Allen drew up he recognized
the alleged auto thief as the man
who had deserted the car a week
ago and he notified police. Attempts
to find Lambrecht were unsuccess
ful until yesterday evening when
Sheriff Condit received word that
Lambrecht had returned to the vi
cinity of the Kimmel farm
Today Lambrecht admitted that
the second car was stolen from Ax
tel, Kearney county. The first car
was stolen from Council Bluffs.
Lambrecht will be turned over to
Kearney county authorities.
