1880~ TWENTY PAGES BENEFITS OF ORCANIZATIO They Are Recognized by the Omaha Builders and Architecta, PROMPT ACTION TO BE TAKEN, Mr. Sayward's Address at a Well Attonded the Ad- v ages to be Derived From a Local Exchange. Mesting on A Builders' Exchange. Mr. W. H. Sayward of Boston, secretary of the National Builders’ exchange, lectured toa large number of the builders and archi- tects of the city in the board of trade room, Iast night.. Mr. Sayward spoke for an hour and a halfupon the plan of a local exchange and the many advantages to be derived from having such an organization. His remarks wera closely listened to and drew forth many expressions of approval from the geutlemen presont, and at the close their appreciation was munifested by a hearty vote of thanks. At the outset Mr. Sayward sketched briefly the advantage gained by having a local organization and place of mecting, whare the members might congregate and become better acquainted, as well as the weight attached to an organization of this kind when it became necessary to take steps to counteract the offect of an improper strike, Mr, Sayward slated that he did” not “wish to be understood u ed to lab unions, which t i ry_beneficial Institutions, but there were certainly times when it became necessary to oppose them. An exchange is aleo benelivial in doing away with the improper use of sub-bids by contructors who ask for bids and then to have the bidders cut oune another's pri Qhese thongs are all regulated by the change and promote o riendly foeling, Mr. Sayward made a hit at the architects which caused considerable merriment, and which he said was applicable to members of the craft all over the country. He alluded to the imperfect condition in which plans were submitted to builders for their final es- timates, and said that nine-tenths bf the architects in the country don't know their own businass thoroughly. Ironclad contracts are drawn from these plans, and the con- tractor compelled to sign them or lose the Job, Dbecause his neighbor wiil sign ihem if he doesn't. All these dotails aro covered by the laws of the association, which puts all upon an equal and fair footing. Mr. Sayward alluded briefly to the national association, which was organized January, 1857, and now includes thirty cities. The national association is composed of del r}lll!l from the local exchanges and legis- ates for the benefit of the entire body. Among other things which the national association has done is the preparation of a uniform contract for buitders—one which has no cateh clauses in it, and which is wb- solutely safe, The speaker hoped that steps would bo taken to organize an exchange in Omaha at once and send o delegate to the convention 1o be held in St. Paul in January next, at which time the great labor question will un- doubtedly come up for consideration, 1t was then suggested that steps be taken at once to organize, and it -was moved and carried that a committee be appointea to draft a form of organization and réportat a meeting to be called soon. E Ricbhard Smith, J, H. Hart and 0. J. Col- lins were appointed as such committee, and will cull a meeting some time during the coming week. e FROM OCEAN TO OOEAN. X~ J.

It is through this branch of the govermental machinery that we come in closer contact with them than any other; therefore it is no credit to have 6,000 em- tloyu in it uniess the wants of the country t large are supplied.” Mr. Bell to Kansas City and St Louis for the purpose of establisning the quick delivery 1n those places. bout the Fast i WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.

Not a copper, thoy all sncuked off,”" ‘That Woolworth-Root land case, 8o hotly argued before Judge Brower one day last week,"” said a prominent attorney, “is proba- bly more interesting as & court chestnut than it appears to be on the surface. Briefly, Lean tell you something about it. Allen Root claims the ownership of soventoen and three-fourth acres, situated betweon Pa- cific street and Poppleton avenue and Iilnz just west of thirty-third street. It s best known now as Oakhurat addilion, coutains seventy-five lots and is valuea at $150,000. Woolworth also contends that tho property belongs to him, he having obtained it from Oliver P, Morion, the Indiana war gov- ernor. Root, however, got possession in 1564 through purchase from Heman Glose, and his deed was recorded in 1366, Oliver P. Morton and brother, William & Mor- ton, held the land on a sheriff’s deed jointly. Woolworth was their attorney froin 1885 until they died. Once the matter went into court with O, P. Morton as plaintiff aga Roswell G. Pierce, on un attachment. Sub- sequently the present action was brought by Woolworth, who obtained a decree. Root now claims that this decree was not valid for want of jurisdiction,” The Goldsmi vestigation. Yesterday was tho last day of the investi- gation of Garbage Master Goldsmith’s ofiicial conduct by a special comwmittee from the council, and the proceedings wove varied with a bloody fist fight between Goldsmith and his brother in-law, Lazarus, lately ais- charged by Goldsmith. The encounter was caused by a retort made by Lazarus that ho had never been in the penitentiary. In the fight that ensued Goldsmith received several ugly gashes, and was finally knocked almost scnseless. His son, who joined in the en- counter, sustained a broken finger, ‘The dump masters at the foot of Daven- port and Jones streets were cxamined, and both testified that no animals were ever thrown in tue dump without their knowledge. Lazarus, who was the main witness against Goldsmith, ciaimed that he and tho garbage master had been in the habit of claiming that they had thrown dead animals in the dump when they aad not, and received checks therefor from the dump master, He also claimed that Goldsmith had collected double fees for hauling away dead animals. Dr. Slominski, the next witness, claimed that Goldsmith had been collecting fecs for garbage both from him and his landlord, Mr. Avmenier, when he should have col- lected only from one. Io tho afierndon Mr. Armenier testified that Goldsmith’s son claimed the double charge was & mistake, and he made the amount good. The other testimony adduced amounted to nothing. The investigating committee then adjourr.ed to report to the council. —_— Roval Lengur, A council of the Northwestern Order of tho Royal Leazue is to be instituted in Omahn to-morrow evening by Mr. C.

M. Craw- ford, of Topeka, who was at the Millard yes- terday, ‘‘that Uwill have an opera house in Owaha after the Grand has gone out of ex- istence. As yet, however, my plans are not far enough advanced to justify giving out anything in detail for publication, Matters aro quietly tuuqu! shape, and thereis no question but what 1 will have a theatre here, even if I have to build 1t myself. My book- ings for next season with attractions include Omaha, though no mention has been made in contracts about the Grand opera house. I sunply assure managers that they will have as good, if not better, &ccom- modations than are offered them there: 1t is out. the question now,” contioued Mr. Crawford, “for me to think of giving up Oinaha, 1I'came here against great odds, and certaioly deserve some credit for having taken as many good companies as I have away from Mr, Boyd.

Curry’s musical comedy company, pre- senting the great Irish drama, “Irish Hearts of Old,” will pluy a three nights’ engago- ment at the Grand opora house, commencing Monday night, including a Wednesday mat- inec. ‘T'he piece is full of stirring incidents, interspersed with musie, comedy ana pathos.
