Most of the residents of Omaha knc that the Central Lubor union, through Julius Moyer, chairman of the emergency com- mittee, has enjoined the mayor and the other city ofMcevs from eutering into a contract with the Ketchar Furniture company of Toledo, O., to furnish the new city nall with its furniture. The learned this fact when they read Tie Br yesterds In spoaking of the sinjunction yester- day, Mayor Cushing = saia that he regarded the injunction s & useless waste wind, If it had not been issued he could not have signed the contract, as it was very evident that there were' no funds available to pay for the furniture. The only way the council conld have justified the letting of the contract would has taken the money out of the city hall fund ana discon- tinued work upon the building. This the mayor said would nave been an unwise move. The contrac he thougnt, could not have becn entered into until after the bonds that were voted at the last election had been sold. “Of course,” he continued, ‘“‘we could have executed the contract and anticipated the sale of bonds, but that 1 would not have done, us there is 10 assurance that the bonds can bo soid. Isupposesomeof the people were afraid, but the alarm was uncalled for, as the contract would huve gone to the next’ mayor and council for approval.” Mr. Hayken Wiil Fizht Mr. Hayken, resideat agent for the Ketcham compuny, was found in his oftice in the act of mailing a copy of Tur Ber to the home house at Toleao, O. He stopped in the midst of his labors to remark that there was no use of trying to build a fence around Omala. SWill you fight the injunction?? asked. “Most certainly,” ho replied, *“we cannot afford to lie down. We do not care for the money that there is iu the cortract, but we have got to go into the fight to sustain the reputation of the house, if for no other reason.” Mr. Hayken did not know what course his people would pursue. He had telegraphed and written for instructions and could fur- nish no information until he received a reply from his people, 3ut I want to tell vou,” “that we have received very shabby treat: ment right nere in Omaha.
