8 THE OMAHA DAILY B WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 21 182 e ————————————————————————————————————————————— TRAINMEN TALK OF TROUBLE Unless They Get Batisfaction They May Take Radical Steps. DON'T LIKE MR. DICKINSON'S ACTION Offers of the Tralnmen Rejected by the Ofeials, Whose Proposition in Re- tarr Promptly Re Notes and Personals. is ed— When the Union Pacific grievance com- mitteos left Assistant General Managor Dickinson last Friday, after presenting their revised proposition, that gentleman made a statement which the employes understood as a promise of a substantial concession in the manner of computing overtime, which is now the chief mattor atissue. Whon that con- ference was dissolved it was with the under. stanaing that Mr. Dickinson should speedily examine the committee proposition and re port his conclusions, Refused to Accept the Sched Mr. Dickinson replied to the committees Monday, refusing to accept their schedule and submitting a proposition of his own. Since then the committees have held a joint meeting and unanimously rejected the com- any’s offer. Another conference at Union >acific headquarters was arranged for yesterpny afternoon, and the com- ittees proposed to insist on & sottlement of the matters at 1issue “If we don't got fairer treatment than we have had so far,” saia an iafluential mem- ber of one of the committees yestorday morning, *'there Is likely to be trouble. Our members are sick and tired of this long drawn out affair, and if we can't got satis- faction within a fow days some of them will be slippine out for home. While the matter of striking would ordinary go to the grand officers for decision, theroare a great mauy hot heads in the ranks, and there are mem bers of these committees who can tie up whole divisions by saying the word, Victims of Rank Injustice, “We are the victims of the rankest kind of injustice, and we mean to have some tisfaction. The prin- cipal domand we are now making is for o change in the manner of computing overtime. All we ask s that the company treat us as fairly as it does tho engineers and firemen, “Let me give you an example to show the discrimination. First, vou must romember that an hour is fizured as equivalent to a run of ton miles. Now, suppose a train is run over a division 100 miles long and is scheduled in the time card to make it in seven hours. A margin of half an hour is allowed for delays. If, therefore, the train makes its run in seven hours and a half the engincer gots pay for the 100 miles at the rate of 4 conts a milo or a total of $4. After the seven hours and a half the engineer begins ;n draw overtime at the rate of 40 cents an hour. o Where the Conductor Suffers, “Now see how unfairly the conductor is treated. He doesn’t begiu to draw overtime until he has been out ten hours. Suppose the run is 150 miles and the train is sched- uled to make it in ten hours. After ten hours ond a half on the road the engineer will be- gin to earn overtime. The conductor will not be allowed any until ho hus bean out fif- teen hours. You see where the ten-mile per hour rule comes What th pany Clalms, “The company opposes us with this argu- mont: There are fast runs in which trains are scheduled to make say 100 miles in four hours. The pay would be at tho rate of 4 cents a mile for engineers and 3 cents for conductors, The officials say we practically get a full day's pay for a fow hours’ work. Wo hold that the increased speed increases the danger to life and limb. Moreover, in a run of that kind the engineer would begin to earn overtimo after four hoursanda half. Wensist that conductors are entitled to as liboral treatment as engincers. The officials reply that they made a mistake some years ago in granting these concessions to engin- eers, and that that should not be taken as a precedent for our demands. And yet the company not only confirms the engineers’ schedule each year, but grants new favors. 1 ought 1o explain, perbaps, that firomen aro treatod like the engineers, and that the brakemen arc 1n the same bux with the conductors, An Offer to Drop the Controversy. “*Whon wo presented our first proposition, Mr. Dickinson made somo figures and de clared that it meant an increaso of £00,000 in the annual pay roil of the road. He figured on our rovised schedule and declared that . would azgregate an increase of $100,000, but wae pointed out one item where he had maae 8 mistake of $15,000. At our first meeting ho offered us $10,000 to drop the controversy and go home. That would hardly have paid the expenses of the two committees during their stay in Omaba, In his proposition of yesterday homadea few trifling concessions “that would aggregate 813,800, Some aivisions were favored and others 'vere ignored. When we left him th other day he said that if the euginc schodule was all we wauted we could easily come to torms. He hos made a straight backdown. In explanation he savs that when he came to figuro on it he fonnd it would make an increase twice as big as he supposed it would bo, He pro- poses to make concessions based on a raise ranted the engineers and firemen last _fall. “or exawple, on some of the mountain divis- 10us tho pay of the engineers was raised from #4 per 100 milos to $#4.40, aud on a division between Denver and Fort Worth from £3.50 to $3.85. Tne increaso to the engineers amounted to about $12,000 and to the firemen about $6,000, total of $18,000. Mr. Dickin- son Ju‘onusnn to allow as a pro rata sum based on the number of men in the two branches of the service, That would Just about pay the expenses of our griovance committees to date. It will not do. We mean 1o be treated as fairly as engincers and firemen are, Wanted Sympathy for Gould, “In our conference last Friday General Manager Clark tried to play on our sym- athies. He told us of what a hard time he management was having to make the road pay, and said that his reputa- tion as a manager was at stake. Ho wantea to know why we were not satistied with tho terms that rulea under the old management, and made a personal appeal to us to consider his 1nterest in the matter. Some members of the committes were affected by Mr. Clark’s talk, but they have recovered,’ At the conference yesterday afternoon the schedule of the committoes was taken up section by sectlou, but its consideration was not comploted, The meeting will be resumed &t 2 o'clock this afternoon. Members of the committees report Mr. Dickinson more disposed to make conces- slons, and thoy were hopeful last night of reaching a salisfactory adjustment. During yesterday’s conference Mr. Dick- inson stepped into General Manuger Clark’s room for a brief consultation, and on return- iug exhibited an EveNixa Bes with the re. mark “You evidently have a reporter on your committee,” referring to the inside history of recent events. And a member of the com- mitee remarked in an asige: “Ivs a little loud, but it's straight goods, Just the same. Notes and The Bernhardt compan; City yestorday moriitg n over the Omaba line, by A.

He is going to Florida soon to be absent & munth or more, and he has other mautters on hand that may keep him away from Omaha the greater part of the spring and summer. During the real estate activity several years ago Mr. Morrison was engaged in bus- noss and made quite a stake, Recently he made some deals by which he exchangod most of his Omaha property for farm lands in Nebraska. The demand for farm lands has increased rapialy of late and Mr. Morri- son finds it necessary to devote his entire at- tention to his western interests. It is ex- pected that his resignation will be presented at the next meeting of the board. If Mr. Morrison resigns the poard will -elect a successor to fill his unexpired term.

CHANGED THOUSANDS TO HUNDREDS Attorneys Who Wanted 815,000 for Settling Ryan & Walsh's Business Wil et 81,500 or Nothing— Other Court Matters, Another feature of the case of Ryan & Walsh against Dovglas county has been dis- posed of by the courts. The disposition 18 satisfactory enough to all the parties con corned, with the bare exception of three firms of lawyers. With those firms there is a wailing and an inclination to go to a higher court for a final adjudication of what they claim are their riguts. ' ry person kuows by this out of the construction of the county hospital, Ryan & Walsh werg tho contractors and from start to finish they had trouble. There were a lot of extras run on the county, for which the commissioners refused to puv. Suit was brought and dur ing its pendency the county confessed judg- ment for some 37,000, upsn which suwn_in- numerable liens were at once flled. The Bank of Commerce claimed #37,880.10 for money advanced to carry on the work and that thev might substantiate their claim they beld an assignment for the full amount. What the Luwyers Wanted, Then there came three firms of lawyers who bad helped Ryan & Walsh fight their lezal battles, The gentlemen comprising the firms asked the court to set aside 15,000 of the judgment to pay them their fees. Be- siaes these claims there were the laborers and material men who were in for another large sur, ‘The question of priority ot liens arose soon after the judgment was secured and was argued before Judge Scott some days ago. Yesterday morning he handed ~ down his decision fixing division of the money. He had mno doubt but that tho lawyers had worked in- dustriously, but it was folly for them to ask him to allow thom £15,000 dpon which they had no clayn. The hospital, ho said, was the most remarkablo building i the state, judg- ing from the number of extras that had gone intoit. There were extras from the time the first brick was laid until the last nail was driven in the roof. Returning to the subject of the attorneys' fces, be stated that the lawyers wanted $15,000 for collecting $9,000. That was a modest 'de- mand, but they would not get it. One luw- yer had said upon the witness stand that ho had intended to give part of his fee to Ryan & Walsh, That was a charitable act. “Now [ will tell you,”” continued the court, by law those attorneys are not entitled to a peuny of this money and I am not going to allow them $15,000. If 1 was a lawyer I would like to tuke such cases until Gabriel ' tooted his last horn, for I could gt rich by $0 doing. “The record_shows that the lawyers worked hard. Oue of them even went 80 far as to testify that ho labored with the county commissioners and induced them not to ap- peal to the supreme court. For this be charged the modest sum of $1,000. Why they nover even argued the motion for a new trial, nderstand that I do not criticise the work performea by the attorneys, but I do beliove that they shoald reccive reasonable attorney fees uud nothing more. Divided the ¢} en. “In passing upon this case I shall allow tho attorneys $1,500, which they ecan divide smong themselves, as I care uothing about the division, but 1 insist that at 2 o'clock ‘today they shall appear before me and tile a written accept- ance, If they dow't dothis and ngree in writing to accopt the fee and release the claims against they will not got a cent unless they coliect it from Ryan & Walsh.” "The judge stated that he knew that lawyers upon the witness stand had testified that $15,000 was & reasonable attorney fee for look- ing after o caso of such great importance, but he considered it an exorbitant tee when there was nothing to do hut to prepare the papers for a confession of judgzment. Attorney Ambrose protested that any one of the thrce firms woula have demandod at least £5,000 as & retainer to carry the case through the courts. "'he judge informed the gentleman that his decision was final. The other claims against tho judgment the eourt ordered paid pro rata, After th decision the interested attorneys decided not to accept the ailowance of tho court, stating that they would appeal to the suprewe court, Upon being informed of this the court said that they might do so, as he had noted their objections, but that would not cause him to modify his decision, Wants Damages for Injuries, ‘The caso of John Duvall against the Omaha Street Railway compauy was put on trial in Judge Doane’s court’ yesterday. Duvall demands a judgment for 0,00 His troublo ~grows out of thi Not long ago he was riding a spirited steed along North Twenty-fourth street.

Architect Belndorlt and Contractor Coots Ixplain the Proposed Changes. During the past week Messes, Edwards, Chaffee and Specht, the mwembers of the council comnuttee on public property and buildings, have been devoting their idle mo - ments to looking over the plans submitted at the Jast council mooting by Architect Bien- dorff providing for the contemplated changes in the rotunda of the new city hall building. Up to the present time the members of this committee have not been ablo to decide whether or not they will recommend that a resolution be adopted ordering the changes. They all admit that the rotunda would pre sent a raory ractive appearance if finished to correspond with the new drawings,but the extra enpenditure of §15,000 is what stands in tho way The original contract with John F. provided that the first floor of the rotunda hould be finished with marble ‘wainscot:ng, but above that floor was nothing ornamental with the ex- n of marble base boards and oak chair strips about four feet above the floors, The wulls and ceilings under the balconies were to have been plain aud finished in dead white. There were to have been no frills in the way of pilasters -und ocups in stucco worls, but unddr tho fiew’ plans this has been changed. The plans submitted Architect Beindorff provide for marvle wainscoting around the entire rotunda and upon each of the floors, ‘I'he ceilings ot the balconies will be laid off in art pancls, with pilasters, columns and stucco caps at regular intervals, In adaition to all this the plans contemplato a lot of ornamental work under the stairs and at each of the several landings. Superintendent Coots in spoaking of the proposed changes stated that there was not a cent in it for him, but he was of the opinion that thonew plans were about the thing. The building, he said, was a credit to the city and he would hate to see the rotunda finished 10 a style that would not correspoad with the interior finish of the rooms, Architect Beindorf when asked about the proposed changes stated that they had been contemplated for more than o year. No councilman had asked him to submit the plans, He had simply done so for the reason that with the exception of the rotunda the building was being finished in the best of style. Unaer the old plans the rotunda was porfectly plain without an attempt at crna- mentation, Tho expense of making the changes had boen figurad down to the minimam and 318,000 was a very low price. More than half of that amount would be ex- pended for marble, lRegarding this he had allowed the couneil to take its choice of any of five kinds of marble. If the change was ordered it would not delay the completion of the building and would add very materially 10 its interior uppearance. o A BRUTAL FATHER. in Jail Charged With Treatment of His Daughte: John Hempelman, & grocer living AL Twenty-seventh and Burt streets, is under arrest for cruelly beating and maitreating Lis little daughter Mary. The case was discovered by Champion S. Chase who reported it to the police. A neighbor, who cives hor name and address, writes a pitiable story of the cruelties to which the little one has been subjected. She says tho little victim 18 compe!lad to do all the work of a large house; to wash and iron, carry water and coal and do all the work requiring the strength of a man. She is never allowed to leave the house or associate with companions of her own age. Irequently, the witness says, she has soen the girl's stepmother rush at her with doubled fists, knock her down and drog her about the room by the hair whnile the father looked on.

Hempelman is living with his second wife, his first having deserted him some years ago.

T0 THE RESCUE OF FREMONT Manufacturers Decide to Aid in Building Up a Dodge County Industry. BRYAN'S FREE TWINE BILL DENOUNCED. Long Memorlal Addressed to Nebrask: Representatives in Congress Asking That the Present Tariff Be Not Disturbed, A meeting of the directors of the Manu- facturors and Consumers association was held yesterday afternoon. A communication was read from the Fremont Binding Twine company asking that the assoclation take action that would discourage the fres binder twine bill introduced into congress by Con- gressman Byran of Neoraska. The advisa- bility of taking such action was discussed at length, there belng some hesitation for fear 1t might be construed into a political move. On the other hand it was argued at length thut the object of the association was to en- courage home industries and hence the asso- ciation could with proprioty take action in tho matter. By a unanimous vote the secretary was in structed to forward the following communi cauion to Nebraska's representatives in con- gress : In Behalf of Fromont, “To Tor HONORABLE SENATORS AND Rep- RESENTATIVES OF NEBRASKA IN TiE ¥ SECOND Coxaress: The free binder twine measure now boefore congress, if passed, will result in irroparable loss to the best interests ot Nobraska aud of the nation. A Nebraska institution hus commenced the manufacture of binder twine from hemp fibre grown by Nebraska, As a direct result the price of twine to the consumer in Nebraska has do clined fully 2}¢ cents per pound, while at the samo time the growing of the hemp required to make twine returns a good profit to the producer, incrensing tho value of farm lands and reducing the acreago of other crops. Hemp does not detract from, but adds to, the fortility of the soil by returning its gluten back to the earth during the rotting process, which is accomplishad by the elo ments actiug upon the hemp while lying cut in the field where grown, “Good hemp can be produced, as experi- ments have shown, 1 _all the small grain states of the union. Nebraske has no ad- vantage in soil or climate over any of its sister states, and for this reason homp culture now bids fair to become a national industry. Mills That Are and Are to Be, ‘At various points throughout the country, at Sullwater, Minn., Champaign, 1., several points in Kentucky 'and at Fremont, Nob., hemp binder twino mills are in operation. Other_localities, such as Bancroft and Kear- ney, Neb., and Stoux City, la., are preparing to establish such factories, which free binder twine would discourage. Tho development of tho hemp twine industry and the raising of hemp has been slow, but none the less sure, as is the case with sugar beets, but now when its production has been, by practical trial, fally una fairly aemunstrated, there is a general interest in the welfare of the hemp and twine industry and best wishes for its prosperity. “Tho hemp twine industry has no warmer friends than who bave used it to bind their grain, its superior quality in strength and -length per pound making it preferable to all others, No demand for froe binder twines comes spon- taneously from Nebraska farmers. Thoy know full well that to destroy the competi tion in hemp, which such free tariff legisla- tion would do, would leave them to buy their twine of European malkers, the extont of whose philanthropy hus always been an unknown quantity. “If the binder twine used in the Umted States was made from American hemp, as it will ve 1u a fow years if protocted, the net profit to the hemp growing farmers would exceod by half the tariff now imposed on tho ne used throughout the nation. “A duty on hemp twine alone would be no protection to that article.
