Indications That There Will be No Strike This Season. A REVIEW OF THE SITUATION. The Questions at Issuo Between the Master and Journeymen Plumb- ers—Reduced: Labor at the Shops. Unity Prevails. t present there is no rea- son to believe that there will be any serious trou- ble between workmen and their employers in Omaha this spring. There is & little ill feeling existing between % the journeymen and mas- ter plumbers, but it is now hoped that any- thing in the way of a lock-out or a strike will be averted. ‘It is true that there hos been a strike of the Jjourneymen tailors this spring, but that was finully satisfactorily ended, and although in this strike both sides were stubborn and the men remained out five or six weeks, it is the only strike that nas been on and only a comparatively few men were affected, In the rauroad circles there seems to be unusual tranquility, except, perhaps, on the Union Pacific, where there is some dissatisfaction among the men. Especially is this true of thoso employed in the shops, who are inclined to find fault with the reduction of time and wages which went into eftect last Monday. A majority of the men, or a large portion at Least, would prefer to work eight nours and recoive more pay. ‘There have been some wuttering amnong the younger men over this change, but it is not supposed that any seri- ous results will ensue from this, or that, in fact, there will be any trouble upou any of the roads running into this city. The bricklayers, carpenters, plasterers and kindred tradesmen seom to be satisfied with existing scales and contractors and builders anticipate no delay in building this year on account of strikes, An occasional rumble is heard from the typographical union, but well informed men in the orgffuization say that there will be no troublo this spring. aid a veteran l‘i of L. man, a day or two ago, "‘It's just us natural for workingmen to strike in the spriug as it is for the grass to grow, but 1 think this year will be an excep- tion to the rule, and am willing to wuger & now hat that there will be no strike this sea- son."! “'You'll hear all kinds of tulk about such and such journeymen going to strike, but you don't want to pay any attention to it. 'hey have to talk, you know, that is the oungsters, but us older heads can generally Keop them town. Small strikes there may be, but none of any magnitude, IPrank Johnson, who has been foreman of tho section men of the Union Pacifio yards for ninetcen years, ‘was discharged last Monday eveniug, no reason bewng given for the action. When wages were re- duced by the company four months ago, Johnson interceded for his men nd succeeded in securing them $1.40 a day stead of $1.25, and Lis action on this occa- sion, it is thought, had something to do with his discharge.~ He will appeal his caso to the management, aud it is said will be supported by the Kuights of Labor, L.

The situation among the plumbers is un- changed. The journeymen do not seem to be disposed to iake action, neither do the masters’ association. The latter await the word of M. A. Free alone to order a lockout, they say A reporter dropped in to see Mr. Free, yes- terday, and asked him for his side of the matter. *‘Here it is in a nutshell,” said he. “The journeymen aud waster plumbers made cer- tain agreements a year ago, and one of these, was that one jobber should be em- ployed to every four journeymen. I intend now to stick this thing out and I will not give in one iota. I have been fined $50 by the nnion which I shall not pay. 1 have here in my desk 193 applications from mwen in the east who are anxious to go to work for me, so that there are no lack of men. 1don't want to make trouble or cause a lockout if I can help it, nor will I unless absolutely compelled to protect myself.” The journcymen contend that they are not ving to run the business of their employ- ers, but simply ask for that which is right and equable. "They held a meeting Thurs- day and Friday nights, but took no definite action, 90, will consider A Little Strike. The strike among the men employed by waterworks company on the Farnam street trenches, caused a littie ripple in labor cir- cles this week. The men’s wages wort re- duced, on Thursday, from $1.75 to $1.50 per day, and as soon as the men were notified of the reduction, 125 of them walked out. The company asserted that it would be able to put other men to work immediately, but failed to do so. The strikers hung about the works, and three men were arrested for jeering pipemen at work in the trenches, but there were o serious outbreaks, The men are still out, and no shovelers have been hired to take their places. They say that they will not return to work for less than $1.75, and the company says it will not pay more than $1.50, and there the matter stands, Labor Notes. There is plenty of work in Omuha for day laborers. Everything is again serene among tho tail- ors, The journeymen plumbers, in anticipation of a strike, have pubhished in eastern papers o statement of the situation here and warned all members of the craft to keep away from Owaha, There are & great many carponters in the olty who are not satisfied with the course of Union No. 55 and who ‘have taken steps to orguuizo muother unjon.

THE SOLDIERS’ HOME MUDDLE Grand Island Citizens Insist on Hammond’'s Removal. THE CAUSE OF THEIR ANIMOSITY. A Probability That the Governor Will Make Another Inquiry Into the Affairs of the Institution, 1020 P Streer, LiNcoLy, April Grand Tsland is anxious to get rid of Com- mandant Hommond, of tne soldiers’ and suilors’ home. 1In fact, the citizens of the place are more anxious for his resignation than the inmates of the charitable institu- tion; and, morcover, they want one of their number appointed in his stead. It is learned that petitions numerously signed have been received by the board of public lands and buildings and by the advisory board of the home, praying that recommendations be passed to the governor asking for his resigna- tion. [t is also learned that this will not be done. “The governor was present at the recent investigation, and knows the situation fully,” said & member of the board to-duy, “and he certainly can act with wisdom without advice from us. As the papers have stated, there has been - some kickiug on the retention of Hammond but he is @& pretty good old fellow, cranky, perhaps, and petulant, but whatsoever he'docs is done_honestly, and I bolieve with pure motives. Most of the in- mates, in fact, like him and speak very kindly of his management of the institution, It is my opinion that the shoo pinches Grand Islanditcs because Hummond buys where he can buy the cheapest. Ho gave the contract for the furniture of the home to Kearney firm becauso the same class of furniture could be bought there for less money than at Grand Tsland. Other incidents of this kind could be mentioned. Business men there want to furnish the supplics for the houss at their own figures, without competition, and because ‘tho old man’ will not toudy to their whims he has fallen into bad repute. This cry is mado worse aud more effective because five or _ six old croakers churge abuse, fusufciency to eat, lack of clothes and other things oqually absurd and nonsensical. 1 doubt not that Hamuwond is something of an old bore. We all know that Lo is very irritable and manifests too much temper at times, The trouble is, Ham- mond's position has given him the ‘big head,’ and if ho is romoved it will be because of re- sults of this human frailty. But it won't do to appoint a Grand Island man in his_place. Whenever this is dono there will be troubls in carnest. In my judgment, if Hemuond has to go, his place will bo supplied by some person with conscience enough to spend the state's money where it will go the fartnest.” 1t is said that Governor Thayer bas gone to Grand Island to take another peep into affairs at the home, But this is not certain, Ho left yesterday ostensibly for Kearaey, and it will not bo surprising if ho_answers & summons to the former place before he re- turns. ‘The board of public lands and build- ings is evidently anxious that he shall act in the matter without pressure or restraint. Poor Uficivilized Lincoln. Despite the efforts of Stewart McConiga and L. W. Billingsley, before the city coun- cil last night, the ordinance providing for Sunday opening of the Eden Musee, was de- feated. The petitions of the church people, the remarks of Father Walch and Council: men Pace, Bushuoll and Dean did most ex- cellent service. It had been given out be- fore the weeting of the council that enough votes had been secured to insure the puss- ago of the ordinance law, and the friends of Sackett & Lawler were on hand feeling in jubilant spirits. McConiga addressed the council nearly an hour, assailing religion, re- lous pe the church and churches, and closed m:lp a1 bohalf of the Musee, to take the place of the churches, and prayed the passage of the Liw Lo show to the world that Lincoln was advauced in ocivilization LINCOLN BUREAU OF THE OMA@A Bl 20. and freedom. Billiugsley followed., He, o, talked for & bhalf hour or more. The vote was thon taken, and nine votes became a matter of record to tablo the ordinance, the sure passage of which had been promised. Great surprise followed. Biilingsley was 80 much sur- prised that he took Councilman Dean by tho collar and accused him of treachery and lying. McConiga was in a white heat bo- causo the churches and schools and morals of Lincoln had triumphed over the Museo and kindred theatrical entertainments. No Longer Guess Work. It is no longer guess work that Brink, of Boone, McNaughton and _Saunders,' of Soward, have been appornted bank inspee- tors. Though not oficially announced, this information comes from parties who know All three appointees are experionced and practical bankers. 1t Is said that Saunders Wwill be assizned to the work in the First congressional district and McNaughton in the Third. The position of bank inspector will pay a salary of about §2.000 a year. Prococious Boys, Two boys, giving their names as James Lee and Frank Waters, wandered into the police station last night and stated that they came from Harvard after the father of Waters, whom they supposed to be in the city, They were apparently cleven or twelve years of age each and penniless, Tho story they told was straight, and they were given shelter in the cooler for the night, About 10 o'clock a telephone message was received from the Nebraska Coal and Lime company in Omaha, asking if two boys answering the description of the boys “'sleeping tho sleep of the innocent,” m oné of the rooms of the cooler. had been scen in Lincoln during the evening. The information was given back that such lads were here, when it was learned that they had run away from home a few days ago and had not boen heard of since. The officers were directed to hold them until they could be sent for, and before this time the anxious hearts of their parents are quicted. They were sent home this after- noon. The lads started young, but they cer- tainly do much better than some old timers, They said that their ambitions were secured from the midnight perusals of dime novels, the heroes of which they were auxious to emulate, Fraudulent Conveyance Alloged. The Moline, Millburn, Stoddard company filed suit in_the district court late last even- ing. asking that a receiver be appointed for the Hart Hardware company, of this city. In this petition they assert that Berryman & Patterson, a firm doing business in Central City about a year ago, sold or purported to sell their stock to I, C, Hart and A. L. Haven, who removed the stock to Lincoln, and engaged in business here under the firm name of the Hatt Hardware company. The plaintiffs allege that at the time of the ro- ported transfer Berryman & Patterson ‘were practically insolvent and that the sale to Hart et al was fraudulent and without consideration. Who petition is quite lengthy but the foregoiug is the sum and substance of the allegations contained therein, Owing to their seripus pature the suit will doubt- less prove more or less exciting. Unle continued tifo case will be tried af, the next sitting of the district court.
