WAITING IN THE ANTE-ROON. l The Beo Man Learns About the Pythian Trouble. NEBRASKA MASONS* HOME. How the Manngement Expects to Conduct Ir, Together With Othor Intcresting ¥acts For Pa- trons of the Grip. The Pythian Officers. Soveral erroneous statements have been made regarding tho state of affairs in the Uniform Rank K. of P. and it has been deemed advisable to give the facts in tho case. Some time ago considerablo dissatisfaction existed with regard to the regimental ofi- cers, and a goneral agreoment was _entered into, in ordor to satisfy tho sir knights and 1o build up the diverent divisions, whereby each of these officers agreed to tonder his resignation, thus compelling anothor elec- tion. Naturally, pected was first of the that resignation ex- Colonel Bur- roll, but it was not forthcoming. The colonel was absent from the clty without leave from brigade headquar- ters. Weeks having passed and nothing having been heard from him, it was learned through hearsay that he was in Oklahoma and intended to make his resideuce there, which would, of necessity, acbar bim from command of the Omaha regiment. Nothing being heord from him offcially regarding his resiguation, it was deemed advisable to enforce the by-law of the regiment, which provides that any officer absenting himself from throe cousecutive meetings without reasonable excuse may be suspended. Lioutenant Colonel Brown had also been absent three consecutive meeting, snd bo- eame consequently subject to the’ same dis- elpline, the command of the regiment thus devolving on Major Donnelly. When the action of the regiment was for- warded to Major General Carnahan for ap- proval, a protost was also sent in by tho friends of Lieutenant Colonel Brown. 'Chis protest disclosed tho fact that the colouel had had 10 ofticial notification of the absenco of his superior oficer, Colonel Burrell, since ho himself had been absent from the city on business, and the statement ywas also made that he had had no opportunitp to offer an exouse to the regiment for his absence. Taking these statements into considera- tion, the wwjor goncral refused o wpprove tho action of the regimen, and directed that the two ofticers be reinstated, on the ground that Brown, at least, had_had no opportu- ity to offer an excuse. This decisiontin the case of both officers was rendered becauso the original action had been taken on both cases together, As it is undoubtedly the desire and inten- tion of *he rogiment to linve the ofice of colo- nel declared vacant, the present incumbent will be given the altornative of resigning or Dhaviag charges preferred against bim which will probably result in a court martial. In tho absence of onel Burrell, the coudmand of the regiment devolves upon Lieutenant-Colonel Brown, who has declared his intention of building up the reginent aud oringing it 0 & high degroe of perfection. Thers is no doubt the Omuba regiment co talus first-class materlal aud only needs & little converted action on the part of the officers in command to revive internst in drill, and give the uniforia rank a steady and healthy growth. Regimental dress pavades will bo had on a mouth, and the Union 1acifio band w turn out cach time with tne regiment. ‘Ihe drill will take pisce on tho oall grounds.

The grand lodge, at its s t session, advised that the fund be in croased to 850,000 before any attempt be made w begin operations, and that only the intorest be used. While the grand lod a matter of fact, has no immediato control over the home, that function resting with the stockholders, its wiskes will be complied with as far as possible. ‘Dhe various lodges in the state have been asked to subscribe for one or more shares of stock. This matter was discussed in the grand lodge and the delegates all expressed the view that every: did ive lodge would subscribe, although t) not feel empowered to bind their re lodges by an absolute promise, “The fund at present is about 810,000, and it is expectcd that when nll the lodxes' shall be heard from this will be increused to nearly tlie desired point. 1t is the wish of the directors that the cit- izens of Omaha, mwasons and others who feel 50 disposed, raiso a fund of about §5,000 or 810,000 for the purpose of erecting tho first building, 1t is thought by the dircetors that enough interest in this matter exists in the city to raiso this amount withont any difll- cuity, and an active canvass will be with this end 1n view.

The facts in the matter are as follow r several years the lodges in Cincinnati, or Hamilton county, have been admitting to membership in their bodies, a class of people who are addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors, which is directly contrary to “he ! laws of the supreme and_sub: riinate lodges and against the repeated warnines of tne supreme lodge. As a consequcr.ce, the de th rate has been ubnormally high. Pne maxi- mum limit of assessment in tte On o ju is- diction is thirty per year. hut in the Ham ton county Qi enty-four in 1833, and _tud o € N number for four or fiva v ar: prevo: y. The result has been that the Ohio jur. Ci tion has been calling upon 1o supe 1 relief boal for assist under which provides tia ail assess nants ovor th limit fixed by the suprem . odgo shall be puid by an assessment upon all jM sl of the order. A resolution was fually referred to the relief board instructing it to consider tho propriety of *tapplying the principles upon which the maximum rates is computad, to different sections of the same jurisdiction. After due consideration, the board re mended that the laws be amended so as protect aiffereat sections of the same ju diction “from the injurious results of an ox cessive cost GWing vo a continuous excessive mortality in one or more sections,” and to uard it from loss of membersnip in healthy sections in consequence of such excossive cost, and providing that any jurisdiction may be subdivided into not more than four dis- tricts by the supreme lodge at any stated meeting, The report of tho relict board was adopted and the laws were so amended by a vote of 251 ayes and 82 nays, A resolution was then introduced, declar- ing it to be for the zood of the order that the jurisdiction of Ohio be subdivided into twe districts, one to cousist of the lodges and members of Hamilton county, and the other to comprise tne romainder of the jurisdi- tion. The rate of assessment in the two d was fixod us follows: Tn the Ham- ilton county district, 55; in the other dis- preme lodgo that have a tendency to the order ontside of Hamilton )0 the hope was expressed that it would result in weeding out the undesiraole material in Hamilton county. Tho rate of nssessment in this distriet is now Jixed ut 55 per anoum, and_even this is not i any wiy extortionate, as it represents an assossment on u policy of §2,000. The nescssmont rate In the balance of the juris- dictivn is lowered to 23 per aunum, which will undoubtedly result in a bealthy growth in that sc In this cor i, the foliowing communi- { caidon on the subject will bear reading : Oxang, July To the Editor of T Bre: AD artivle appeared on Thursday in the Omaha World, purporting to be a “apecial’’ (rom Cinclunati, to the effect that O. U. W. was in aanger of disruption on account of Hamilton county, Ohio (in which Cincinnati is situated), having b cutoff aud made a jurisdiction by itsclf. Now, let us have the truth of this matter. The 'supreme lodge A. O. U, W. at its last session, after a long and serious d cussion, came to the couclusion that, owing to the basc mannor porsisted in by the Cincinnati lodges of tak- ing in undesirable material, and they haven't neglected several warnings on the subject, Hawmilton county should be made pay for its own inaiscretionfand its own losses. This, instead of being an injury to the order, is roally tho strongest poiut thut can be nrged in its favol laws of the ortler are dis- tinct and specific to wembership, and if any one city or d trict persists in willfully disobeying and dis. regarding such laws, surely it is but just that they should pay the penalty. The fact is that the whisky element unfortunately in the past obtained control in Hamilton county, and it is now one of the strong points of the A. O. U.

Historical t at WILL AFFECT A THOUSAND NE Union Carpenters Demand a Com- Pliance With Their Rules. CONTRACTORS MUST COMPLY. Or Thera Will Be a Strike—The Men Want Better Hours and Better Pay—The Plumbers’ Strike -:Lnbor Notes. Want Better Treatment. A strike of all the carpenters in the city is imminent, The union rules call for nine hours’ work a day at 30 conts an hour, and, in caso extra time is put in, 45 cents an hour for such extra time. The carpenters claim that many contractors in the city are forcing their men .to work ten hoursaud paying them only 80 cents for the extra time, and others still are only paying 27%{ cents per hour throughout the day. The unions nave taken the matter in hand, and within a few days will make a demand upon the bosses, but whether that demand shall be for a com- plisuce with the rules as they now stand, nine hours a day at 30 cents and 45 cents for extra time, or for eight hours a day and nine hours' pay, has not yet been de- termined, but is now being caro fully considered by the supreme council and the different unions, If the journoymen make o demand, they declare that they will either get what'they want or strike. They claim that out of the 1,300 carpenters in tho city, over one-half belong to tho differeut uuious end a sufiicient number ure controlled Dby them to bring the number of men who would walle out in the eventastrike was ordered, up to fully two-thirds of all the car- peuters employed in the *“There re a good many carpenters in the city,” said Mr, ‘faft, s prominent member and an_ ofticer of Union 71, *who were driven out of lowa by the dullness caused by prohibition, and these have come to Omaha. They aré, for the most part, a class of men who wout join_the unions, and, in_the case we make a stand, it will be with these men that we will be ob- liged to contend, but a8 we have a large majority and the best financial backing. 1 can see but one result, and that is victory for us. In the event of a strike the local unions expect the aid of the union men in South Omuha, notwithstanding the fact that their rules now provide for ten hours a day at 80 cents, ‘The union men say that the carpenters employed by Mr. Rose- water, personally, on Tuk B buldug are the only ones in the city, who now receive 45 cents an hour for extra time. .. +*a ‘Tho journeymen plumbers’ strike has been on nine weeks to-night, and there is still no indication of a settlement. The bosses, seemiugly, are but jiittle troubled about the situation and declare that they are doing very well, ind A canyass was made of the principal shovs yesterday and the bosses reported flumbers und gasfitters at worl as follows: Jotn KRowe 7, Hussey & Day 5, Milton IP'ree 2, Jaues Baroacle 4, John Han- nigan 4, Graham Park 3 The bosses also declere that there are as many nou-union men employed i the city as there aro uuion wien,and that the strikors cannot affect them or induce them to leave work. The journcymeu, on the other hand, declare the éntire statement of the bosses as t0 the number of men thoy have omployed, and that there are #s mwany non-union men in the city, false, o' “We (have the bosscs when we want them,” said one of @ knot of the strikers, guthored near their bali yesterday moruing. “There is not aday goes by,” he continued, but what we take men away from thom} during this strike we have increased the membersip in the union considerably, by initiating non-union men whom the bosses brought from the eust to work for thow. The men they have atl work now are mostly incompeteut Jobbers.” . " It is possible that there is & misunder- standiag as to the cause of greivance now existiog. The bosses say they donotrefuse to recognize the journeymen’s union—that they believe the union 10 bo & good thing, as far a8 it goes toward maintaining 'wages and securing _suitable hours—but ~they refuse to be governed by the union rules {n forming which they had no vart. Thero is a general impression abrond that the right kind of arbitration committes might succeed in_bringing about & settle- ment of the difficulties. Quite & number of tho original strikers have recently recelved employment in the union shops. - o The manager of one of the leading employ- ment offices in the city was asked yesverday as to the demand for hired help. “There is but_very littlo just now for men,” was the reply, “but I can handle any number of girls williig 1o do housework aud cooking. I think that without doubt Omaha is the bost city in the west for girls who want to do do- mestic work to come to. I could placa one hundred moro girls to-day than I have on hand at wages ruuning from $3 to £5 o weol. Girls who have worked n the city a while take a strong dislike to going out into the suburbs, and families living out from the business centers must pay from one to two @ weck moro to girls than thoso living closer in, and_even then it is diffloult 10 get them to go.
