THE THROTTLEMEN WINNERS The Wages of Union Pacific Engin- eers Sustained. RAILWAY MEN'S FEDFERATIONS. The Difficulties Attending the Organ= ization of the Barbers' Union in This City and the Sunday Clos- ing Question, Etc,, Etc, ‘The Differences Settled. The differonces existing between the brotherhood of engineers and the Union Pu- cific road were finally adjusted yesterday by General Mansger Baldwin for the road, George W. Vroman for the engincers, and Captain C. B, Rustin, chosen as the neutral member, sitting as a board of arbitration. The decision of the board was a victory for tho engigears. It wus as follows: ‘A controversy having arisen between the Brotherhood of Engineers and the Brother- hood of Firemen ou the one part and the Unjon Pacific Railway eompany on the other purt, rogarding the schedulo of wages of Aprit 1, 1887, these differences are submitted Tor arbltration and decisfon to G. W. Vroman and W. H, Baldwix, jr., with full power and authority to select some disintercsted third person to act with them in case of their disa- greement, the decision of any two of the said arbitrators in writing to be final and conclusive upon both parties, u copy of their finding and award to be delivered to each of the barties hereto. uestion 1—Did the Union Pacific rail- way company, by sogregating the Leaven- worth, Topoka & Southwestern, Leaven- worth & Lawrence, and Kansus Central railroads, und erecting them into u separate organization under an independent manage- ment under tho namo of the Leavenworth division, und by reduction of wages there- after, violate any implied obligation con- ;":'g'-’fid in the schedule of wages of Aprl 1, ition 2—Under said schedule ought the management of the Leavenworth division to have chunged the rates of pay of its en- gineors and firemen without notifying or consulting the general committee of the engineers aud firemen of the Union Pacitic system? Gronar W, VEOMAN, Chairman Engineers, W. H, Batowiy, Jr., Manager Leavenworth Division, ‘The award is as follows: Tho lines of the Leavenworth division e been regated 4s a scparate division ©of the Unlon Pacific system ouly in manage- ment, and as the Kansas Central and Leay- enworth & Lawrence branches were included in the schedulo of wages adopted April 1, 1887, as & part of the Union Pacific system, at is our opinion that the schedule should ap- Pply upon those lines, for the following rea- sons: “'As the executive officers of the Union Pa- cific system recognized tho brotherhoods the Union Pacific ralway company in fixing the schedule of wages for the Oregon Rail- way and Navigation company, whieh was and 48 a part of the Union Pucific system, taking nized and consulted them before changing the wages on the Leavenworth division, Which is n partof the Union Pacific sys- tom. Geonas W, VROMAN, Chairman Engineers. ©. B. RusTiy. In accordance with this decision the wages of the men have been restored to the old scule, the restorution to date back to the time of the reduction, May 15. Work 1oward Confederation. Last Sunday Tug Bee published the fact that the orders of locomotive engineers and firemen were negotiating for a confederation. The statewent is borne out by the following circular, which came into the possession of B this week : ob., Juae 21, 1889.—To the Mowm- i bers of the Railway Labor Organizations: In union there is strength. Owing to past circumstances in connection with the rights of the laborer as compared with that of cen- tralized capital, it is plain that something in the light of strengthening our fortifications must be done. We shoutd organize for protective pur- poses. In view of this we have organized a vlan of federation which we submit to you and your order for ratification. In consideration, each order’ is to maintain a distinct grievance committee. In case any question should avise, it will bo the duty of this comimittee to take'it up and endeavor to bring about a redress. Shou!d the commit- tee then fail, the sald committee will roport in substance to a bourd of federation which will be composed of a member or members of each organization. The federated bourd will then take up the question with the offi- culs and endeavor to adjudicate the points in controversy. Should this fail the matter is again to be reported back to the grievance committee of which order it concerns, and the latter to decide whether a strike shall be declared or not. In doing s0, the federated board will then be called together and the entire body of organizations will act jointly, that is, 1n case a strike is declared every em- ploye is to follow in a walk-out. This plan we have thoroughly considered, and we feel assured that all organizations will be wug- mented in this way, (Signed) COMMITTEE OF ENGINEERS, CoMMTTEE OF FIREMEN, From the circular, which has been gener- ally distributed, it would appear that 1t is the intention to effect o federation of not only the firemen and engineers, but_also of she switchmen and brakcmen. The various uvions will take action in the matter ut once and if the proposition is received cordially, a jomnt meeting of the various organizations will be called. Barbers' Union No, 8. To Omaha belongs the distinetion of hay- ing organized one of the very first barbers' unions organized i the United States, The national union effectod au organization in December, 1887, but prior to this the bar- bers of Omahs had met and organized a union, The members were few and the asso- clation was 1ot strong, but it improved with age and grew in strength, ‘he locul unions were udmitted into the national before Onaha, viz: Muskegon, Mich., and ew York city. Omaha’s union is No. 8, there are but fifteen in the United States. "To-day the union has about forty members, which is 8 minority of the barbers in the city. 1t feels this and feels its neapacity to overcome its weukness, Thetrade is an itin- erant one in mavy particulars, and the mem- bere are slow in joining, but the prime mov- ers are by no means in despair and look for- ward to the time when the union will be a power, They huve prepared a circular which is to be sent to all the trades unions asking for assistance in organization. The cigarmakers have already rendered material assistance. ‘The ofticers of the union for the ensuing year, are follows : Suwith, presi- dent; George Schurz, vice president; Harry Vestphal, finuncial secretary; George Callo- way, corresponding secretary: A. Saulis- bury, treasurer. 1 he union meets every sec- ond and fourth Thursday of each mouth, at Gate City hall, Just now an effort to close thé shovs on Sunday is agitating the varbers. Many weeks ago they asked the mayor and city council to puss an_ordinance closing the shops on the soventh day, but ceriali influences, 8o they claim, were brought to bear upon the mayor and certain aldermen and their petition was allowed to go by default. Having been de- nied assistance by the city government, they will take matters into their own hands and proceed to close the shops on Sunduy under the state law, At present the Council Bluffs union is a a part of No. 8, baviug been organized under the same charter, and 1n their fight with the bosses the Council Blufts barbers will receive the assistance of the Union men on this side of the river, Elected New Officers. At a recent meeting Carpenters’ union No. 112, of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiuers, elected new ofticers as follows: President, R. C. Hulliker; vice-president, D. Stout; financial secretary, W. A. McAl ter; recording secretary, J. G. Graham: treasurer, D. W. Smith; conductor, J. P. Williams; warden, L. C. Cole, Messrs. Stout, Spencer and Hiluker were elected trustees. Union No. 112 is localed in South Omaha and is a live institution in every respect. It now. numbers more than a balf Lundred members and is recognized by the unions of Omaha as & potent factor in labor mutters. It is allowed delegates in the ¢ preme coun- cil and is practically an Omahi. drgunization. Bricklayers on a Strike. The bricklayers working on the Dellone hotel at Fourteenth and Capitol avenue went ona strike yesterday because Contractor Fred Dellone would not allow them pay for an extra hour on Saturday. The men de- manded the extrs hour a week ago, when it became a union law, and Dellone agreed to allow it if other contractors would. The strikers claim that the majority of other con- tractors are allowing the eftra hour, and that Dellone was apprised of that fact and yet he would nov grant their wishes. When he refused to allow the extra hour yesterday afternoon the eight men quit work without further ceremony. Labor Notes. The official organ of the carpenters and joiners’ unions warns all carpenters to stay away from Omaha and Kearney. Carpenters’ Union No, 71 met in special session last night and worked upon rules and by-laws for the government of the new supreme courcil. At 8 o'clock this morning the members of Cigarmakers' Union No, U3, accompanied by their families and several hundred friends, will leave the Union Pacific depot by special train for Waterloo, where they will spend the day. Various smusements have been provided for the occusion and a pleasant time is anticipated. The journeymen plumbers’ strke is still on, A few of themen went to work this week for Symonds & Blake, but a majority of the men are still without employment. Typographical union, No. 100 meets to-day at its hall, corner of Fourteenth and Dodge streets, The Omaha Single Tax club meets at Gate City hall at 2:30 to-day. —— .—— The Guards' Concert, The fourth grand sacred concert, given by the Omaha Guards' band, will take place at Hanscom park to-morrow afternoon, when o number of interesting - selections will be played.

A HISTORY OF !ST. BARNABAS. Items of Interest Which Have Char- acterizad the World of Roligion During the Past Seven Days * —Other Items. Another Synagogue. The dedication of the new synagogue on Capital avenue to-day, recalls several inci- dents which are properly a part of the his- tory of Omaha. Several hundred Russian refugees arrived here about seven years wgo. They left Rus- sia on account of religious intolerance, and were assisted in their passage to America by o fund subscribed by the Hebrews under tae auspices of the Russian Immigration Aid so- ciety. About four thousand came to the United States and on their arrival, the asso- ciation provided them with food and clothing and sent them to thevarious agricultural states of the Union, Over two hundred 6f these people came to Omaha in an abject condition, Relief was afforded them by the Hebrew Benevolent so- ciety which spent large sums in relieving the distress of these ple, Meyer Hellman, Julius Meyer aud & haw wero the most active in providing for them. Many of these immigrants bave risen from poverty to wealth and are among Omaha's most enterprising citizens, In order to have a house of worship, several of these people Organized a Russian Relief society about: three years ago, and have erected a neat synogogue on Capitol avenus near Thirteenth street, at a cost of £5,000, which will be dedicated this evening and will be used as & house of worship in the orthodox mode. - The officers of the assocjation are H.

Barnabas Church St, Barnabas church, in this city, was erected nineteen years agd, and sivce then has been the favorite place of worship for the High Church Episcopaligns of Omaha. The parish was organized on St. Burnabas day, June 11, 1808, and shortly afterward & chapel at the corner of Ninth and Douglas streets, where services were d by Rev, Mr. Betts until a year later, when the church was removed to Fourteenth and Cass streets, In $70 the prescnt church was bullt, a Hebrew liter- © surplus in the 'will be conducted after many triuls and dificulties, by the few determined men who took the lead in 1ts es- tabhishment. Shortly after the church was completed serious misunderstanding arose between the rector, Mr. Betts, and Bishop Clarkson, on matters pertaining to the ritual. The former refused to yield to the bishop's request for a modification of the ritual, These differences became a legacy to the respective rectors and bishops, and the parish has not until recent years been in full harmony with the head of the diocese on this question. ‘The ritual that then gave offcnso to the bishop and diocese, would be considered mild ouough now, and_was only such as is now in use at the cathedral, In January, 1872, Mr. Betts resigned the rectorship of 'the parish to accept a position as agent of the Society for the Insane of the Ministry, but in March of the same year he resumed’ charge of the parish. A stormy interview betweon the bishop and the rector foliowed Mr. Betts’ return, The former de- manded the discontinuance of the use of the chasuble and all other vestments except tho the surplice and black stole, in the celebra- tion of divine service. He also demanded the abolition of the choir turning toward the altar in repeating the “Gloria” and ‘‘creed,’ and thai the rector discontinue the making of the sign of the cross in the service, except 1n the baptismal ofice. The rector firmly and positively refused to comply with the bishop’s demands and the following June the latter resigned the parish and accepted a call at Kansas City, In November the vacancy was ix\lml by the election of Rev. J. P. Hammond, of Pennsyl- vania, but disagreement of a more serious nature than ever soon sprang up between the bishop and rector also on matters of ritual. Finally a canon was passed giving the bishon power to bring any olergyman to trial for a breach of his ordination vow should he refuse to obey the bishop’s written monition to discontinue any ritual custom not distinctly provided for™ by rubric or canon, Mr. Hammond yielded to the forces of this canon, but, in September, 1875, retired from the rectorship. In July, 1875, Rev. John Williams, the pres- ent rector, was cailed to the parish and, after some correspondence and a visit w the parish in November, he accepted the calland entered on his duties on St John’s day, in 1577. He was cordially welcomed by Bishop Clarkson, who attended St. Barnabas and celebrated the euchorist on the first Sunday after the new rector’s arrival. Mr, Williams stated his sition on the vexed question of the ritual which the bisho accepted and perfect harmony prevailed. Bishop Clarkson maintained his friendly at- titude toward the parish to the last, first yielding one point and then another to the axf)r&:ned wish of the rector, until every- thing that the parish desired was cheerfully granted or acquiesced in, During the rectorship of Mr. Ham- mond, @& rectory was built by sub- scription and in May, 1851, half of the Lot in the rear of the church was purchased and presented to the parish by lvir Mead, who shortly afterward built the new rectory and presented it to the parish. 1t is the intention of the parish to move to @ Mmore central location at some time in the future. The parish has about two hundred communicants. The church s free and open to all alike, adbering to the positiou that no parish has the moral right to give exclusive privileges Lo any one in & house Tormaiiy s6i apary and consecrated to the public worship of God. Tne property f the church is valued at 30,000, dnd the rector's salary is $1,200 per auoum, The parish has a chapter of St. Andrews' ‘hl:olhn(haod and a brauch of the ladies’ aux- ary. 8. J. Rheem is senior warden and Dr. Na- son junior warden, The vestrymen are Robert Easson, Frank Pogue, Theodore L. Ringwalt, John R. Ring- walt and Will Brown, jr. Charles Weeks is treasurer, and Will Brown, jr., is clerk of the vestry. A Little Sarcastio, OmamA, June 2.—To the Fuitor of Tue Bee: It will be remembered that, a few weeks since, I published a notice in all the city papers to the effect that I wanted to find forty people who were able and willing to give 85 per month, the balance of the year, for the support of the “*Open Door.” At the end of tho month, I desire to convey to the public, the very gratifymg futelli- gence that I have succeeded in finding in this magnificent, public-spirited and _benevo- lent city, two people who aro able and willing to do this thing. I think it worth while that this inspiring example of “Our daisy of a city” should be known to our enterpricing citizens, Very respectfully, A. W. Layar, Pastor First Presbyterian Church.
