BARTON WILL TEST THE LAV, Result of a Conference Between Councilmen and 8melter Officials, WILL TAKE THE CASE TO SUPREME COURT. The Smelter's President Consents to Go to Jail to Get the Law's Constitutionality Decided At Once, At a mass meeting hela at Erfling's hall last Friday nignt & committee consisting of Councilmen Henry Osthoff, William I Bechel, I, L, Blumer, James Donuelly, sr., £ T, Moreurly, Theodore Olsen, T. J. Lowry, Richard Burdish and Christian Specht, was appointed to confer with the proprictors of the Omatin and Grant smelter for the pur pose of adjusting the existing lubor dillic ties. Yesterday morning Chairman Osthoff called bis committee together for the purpose of the conference, Messrs. Donnelly, Olseu and Speeht responded, while the other memvers iguored the call At 11 o'clock the four gentlemen met Messrs, Barton and Nash in their ofico where the troubles and their causes were discussed 4 £ Mr. Barton said there was nothin to arbi trate as he had aecided that he could not put on three shifts s the apitators umony the workmen had demanded. He stood in the same position that he did ten days ngo and was willing to put eight bour men on the blast furnaces and the roasters, but could only pay them for eight hours work, In the refining de partments where the work was not so labori- ous he could not affurd to run the eight hour shifts, Hostated that the ore smelted in Omaha was of a low grade, and that the ex- peuses had to be reauced to a minimum, [f Wirec shifts were put on throughout the works the busincss would not p and it would be only a question of time when the smelter would have to be closed or re. joved 10 some other locality where the labor were more favorable, Mr., Barton denied the statement that in the blast furnaces the men had been required to work thirtecn hours, They went to werk at 7 oclock in the morning and worked until noon, ‘Phen they rested until one o'clock, and worked until six, ton hours. In feeding the biast furnaces the work was hot, but the men rested a good deal of the timn, a5 after_chrnging the furnaces they sat down until it w necessary to re- charge them. The work was not as fatul as many people had claimed. Men had worked at the furnaces for fourteen not suffered any scrious Of course some of the men had been poisons from the funics and escaping gases. This was caused partially on account of the con stitution of the men so affected. For hu- munity's sake, if nothing else, dMr. Barton would be willing to allow those men eight hour shifts with eight hours’ pay. Mr. Barton also stated that he had no feeling against the men and was confident that there would have been no difiiculty if it bad not been for the professional agitators ana men who anxious to injuro the cit, I'n speaking of aguin starting the smelter, Mr. Barton said, “My interests are in Omaubnand L am s auxious for the pros- perity of the city any man~living. Besides™ ¢ you do not know how sad it makes me feel when I know that many of the men who have worked for us for years waut to come back and would do s0 if they were not provented by the parties who arc posing us their friends but are really their enemies. In this connec- tion I want to say that many of the men are now ready to goto work, I cannot allow them 1o do s until thoy can have protection, If they could bo protected from violence 1 would take back as many as possibie,ir 1 had 10 put them to wheeling brick to_a pile, un- loading them and then wheeling them back.” To show that the smelter men were loyal, Mr. Barton stated that on the night of tho strike, the day force that had worked from 7 o'clock in the morning were ready to continuo right on until miduight drawing the fires, thav the furnaces might not “freezo,” Continuing, he said: *“When men will do’ that, you must know that there is not any greal mmount of dissatisfuction. These men dia work until 11_o'clock when they were driven off by the strikers.” The committee wanted to know when the smelter would again bo started, if ever, “That,” said Mr. Barton, “is a question that must be solved later on. As soon as we exnerienced the troubles we telegraphed all the ore that was consigned for Omaha to the other smelters. We now but a small stock on hand, and it would probably be the middle of Octover before wo could got enough on hand to justify us in start- fog the fires” He did not caro whether or mot the men signed the much talked of contract, though it had been signed by oll except ten men who were working. 1t was ouly a shadow of pro- tection against future law suits i se tho men should av any time see over- time. Mr. Nash suggested that the coustitntion- ality of tho eight hour luw should bo tested av us ecarly o date as possible. Mr. Barton agreod with his views and was ready and willing to be the wartyr, All members of the committee were of the same opinion. “'How can we make a case!” asked Chairman Ostuoff, “There are men now in our employ who are working ten hours e { added Mr, Barton, “and you may ar . 1 am will: ing to go to jail to get this matter settied,” "Phe committee agreed that there was noth- ing to arbitrate, as the smelter men wanted an eight hour day in all the deparuments of the worlks, and this the proprictors wouid not grant.s Withh this view of the case the committen called on Judge Helstey of the police court to get his ideas. He wus suro that if Mr. Barton had worked his men more than eight hours per day he was guilty of having committed a misdemeanor, The committee then proceeded to the offico of Assistant County ~ Atterney Moriarty, where Councilman Olsen swore to au infor- mation charging Mr. Barton with violating the state law. AU o'clock he was arvested and taken to the police station. The time for hearing the case has vot been set, but it wiil probabiy come up at once. In cases of this kind the fiae is not less than 100 aud not more than 8,000, The procedure is for the purpose of getting a de- cision of the supreme court at tho eavliost possiblo date. [ convicted Mr. Barton will bo fiued. He will refuse to bay the fine and will go to jail. 1is attorneys will atonce apply to the su- preme court for a writ of habeas corpus wnd will allege that the law is uuconstitutional besides being cluss legislation, PRESSMEN OU 00, Moen Employed at t estner Daily Tribune Oflic es Qi The locked-out job printers made anothor move yesterday whou they induced the pressmon of the Festuer printing company and the Nebraska Tribune, the leading Ger- man aaily to leave their work. This loft the Tribune company in the lurch so far as getting out its paper was concorsied, Tho paper is & union sheet, und has not been in any wuy coucerned in tho labor troubles, ‘The manuger of the paper, Sol Davigsohn, left for New Yok on his summer vacation just on tho ovo of the recont outbréak, and had reached Chicaco when he heard of it He hurried home, but found overything se T s0 far as the Tribune was concerned, and started away ugain, the pressman, Charles Taylos, promising that he would con tinue to run off the paper until Davidsohn's return, Knowicg this to be the case, 1t wis naturally a decided surpriso to A. C. Lutze, tho telegraph editor and assistant manager, when atnoon yesterday ho heard Taylor toll his subordinates to get out and not come back until he seat for them. When asked what he meant he would give uo information other than that he had decided not to run off tho paper. Argument and upbralding were alike unsuecessful, and there was nothiug to do but to try to make other arrangements, Calls were made on other job oftices, but without avail. The Pokrok Zapadu' cow- pany was experiencing troublo with its ma- chinery, and would have all it could do to get out its own paper; the Western Nowspa- per Union hua its hands full and could uot Mtond to it; the Kees Priuting company could not find time to tackle it, and the Re- publiean printing rum|lul\‘ also bad its hauds full. Klopp, Bartlett & Co. were waited on, but their prossman rofnsed to Fun tho job, although informed that the Tribune was a union paper and that the union had promised that it would not be interfered with, Tole- hones were kept madly ringing, and Mr. [litzo daghed hither and thither, carting his forms from ono ofce to another. It seemed as if temporary suspension of pub- lieation was nevitable,” but snortly afte o'clock Klopp, Bartlett & Co, sent word th the union had decided to got out the pap and that their pressmen would run it. More hustling followed, apd at 7:80 o'clock the press started on the long delayed editior “Taylor's conduct was inoxeusable,” de- clared Mr. Lutze iast evening after his paper was off, ‘“There was no reason whatever for him to take the step ae did, as_we are not in any way connected with the Festner Print ing company, which is in the fight. They use our press and Mr. Fes is one of o stockholders, but the two concerns are distnet and separate, Taylor does not belong to the regular union, but to a local organization or side affair, He induced our feeder to leave, and we were steanded.

Now Me's Keeping Ahead of a Detective and His Friends Are Trying to Make Good the Loss. Threo thousand dollars in gold were stolen from the sferchants’ National bank a short tune ago, and the thief his not yet been ap pretended or definitely located, und the man ner of the theft is still & mattor of mystery to the bank oficials In these duys ot safety vaults, time locks, burgiar alarms and other similar applisncos, bankers bave but little to fear from burglars aud safe blowers, and it would appear that th e would be bat littie daneer of loss from any such sour Still, once in a while some Vank loses a roll of bills or a bag of coin in some unaccountable manper, and the very wealth of protections aud precautions against such loss mukes it all the more difficult to ap prenend the guilty part Tt is thenature of the case that has been ausing the Merchants' National bunk no end of trouble. It was about two weeks ago that the cashiers in balancing and comparing their account the close of a d. s busi ness found a shortage of €,000. The discov- ery of courso ereated consternation aud sur prise. A hasty examination of the cash was wmade, followed by a thorough search of the bank and vaults and a_carveful comparison of the books and u checking up of the day's business, Every new test and checking pro- cess produced the sama result, the cash was )0 short, and a cloth coin bag which had contained just that amount was missiug. The theft was at once repor ted to the ofti- cials of the banik wlho were at a loss as to what action shoutd be taken. Aft a « ful inquiry and investigation of the case and the circumstances surrounding 1t, suspicion fastened itself upon Paul B voung ooklkeener who hivd been « for the bank for some little time, I'here were a number of 1sons for connceting young T'ate’s name with the disappearance of the money, but the young man was so_well con- nected aud 5o weoll liked that the officials fesitated avout charging him with the theft and allowed him Lo work alons as usual. 1t was only a few days atter the 1oss of the money that young Tate informed the bank oflicers that he was going to leave their em- ploy, having secured a position in Beatries at better salar His resiguation was ac- copted, and he left the city. T'he young man u i sed the suspicions of the bank ofticials, and they de- cided to put the eese in the hands of the authoritics.

This is now looked upon by the detective as a very clever ruse on the part of the young man, He had figured, says the detective. that wnen he gave notice that he was woing to Beatrice, tue bank people, if they suspected him of the theft of the money, would immediately make inquiry as to wnether he had secured a position at Beatrice or pot as he had claimed. fie fizured that the bank officials’ infor- wation from Beatrice would quiet their suspicions against him or at least deter them from taking auy immediate steps for his arrest. Aund he figured right. When the Pinkerton man found that Tate had not been to Beatrice at all, all of the bank’s suspicions of the young man’s guilt were strengthened and an immediate and thorough search for iim was ordercd. The detective learnea that a near relative of Tate was living in Toledo, O., and went there to watch for him. Either Inck or wit or_both favored Pate. It has since been learned that the young man was _in Toledo all the timo durine the detective’s visit but mavaged to keep out of bis pursucr’s path.
