THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: ERIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1892 NOT FOR PRIVATE CONCERNS How the National Eigh-tHonr Law Will Be Applied. CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE REACHED Distinet Tranches Alone Covered Cronnse of of Government Work hy the Aet—Judge the Nobrasia el —Washington Gossip, Wasmivarox Brreiv or Tur Bee, 1 513 FouRtoRNTIH STRERT, & Wasnixaros, D. C., Aug. 11. ) Thero has boen some aisputo locally over the application of the eight-hour law which was passed by congress recontly. Mr. Tars- ney of Kansas City, Mo, chairman of tho laber committeo, said in explanation of it today: “The law applies to all branches of government work. Jt should be understood, howeter, that the application 1s confined strictly to government work, for congress has 1o right to fix the hours of labor in privato establishmonts not connected with tho gov- ernment service, Kor that reasom it would not apply to Crampa’ shipyard although the Cramps are engaged 1 building United States war vessels, Thero has been much agitation over bringing the Cramps within the restriction of the law, but 1 can- not se6 how it can bo fairly dono. The war- ships are not the property of the United States government until they are turned over to the Navy deparvment, and until then the Cramps yards are private institations over wh'ch congress has no dontrol. The law will apply to all brauches of river and haroor work which is being so extensively con- ducted in the various statos. There is n question, however, as to it ap- plying on river and harbor work where con- tracts have beet let. If the governmont1s carrving forward the work from duy to day the law will of course apply, but if it lets the ‘work to a coutractor there may besome doubt a3 to his obligation toobserve thelaw. It wilt of courseapply to all postoffices, custom houses, the revenue service, etc., which are sonnected with the government. Our main purpose was to cover branches in which the government had a direct interest and not to reach out and cover private estab- hishments in which the interest of the gov- ernment was morely incidental and ro- mote.” Judge Crounse on t In an interview today Judge Crounse said : “1 expect to begin the campaign early in September and will keep it up until election day. Thero has been taik of a fusion be- twean the third party people and the domo- crats, out I ha think it will be accomplished. ovent, we will try to bring back m who have been led off into the alliance movement. ‘Lheir ranks were ars ago by the cry of the McKinley act and tho *billion-doltaz’ con- gress.

Circulars wor out by many large dealers advising pooplo to lay 1 stocks of goods before the prices nd vauced as a result of the McKinley act, but the prices have not materially advanced, and our peoplo have learned that the cry is con- siderable of a scare. “T'he same is truo of the ‘billion-dollar’ congress cry which appears rather ridicu- lous in the light of the record made by the recont congress. It is probabio that wo will moke our fight 03 the tarift issuc and will als0 talk on some question of special interest to Nobraska.” Why & Good Man Wus Nominated. The Post says editorially this morning under the headline, **A Stroug Nomination:" “The republicans of the stuie of Nebraska did & very wise thing when they made Hon. Larenzo Crounse their nominee for governor. No doubt the other gentlemen who cou- tended for this honor possessed all the nec- essary qualifications for the oftice but the republioans of Nebraska buve o guberna- torial office to hand over to some ambitious wan as a mero merit for past political ser- vice, ““They recognize the fact thatto be suc- cessful their nominee must be a man who can bring strength o the ticket and tho selection of Judgze Crounse as their standurd bearer uccowplishes this, The situation il Nobraska 1 somewhat peculiar. This is one of the re- publican states that was swept by the third party wave and in the election of two years ago this movement enabicd the democracy to succoed and the republican party was b miliated by the fact that its gubernatorinl nominee polled less votes than the candi- date of the thira party. 1t s very likely that a larve proportion of this vote has re- turned to the republican party, but at the srme time the situation 1s such as to call for putting forth every effort, and recoguizing this fact Judge Crounse was made the nom- inee of the Lincoln convention. *‘Without resorting to the actsof the dema- gogue Judge Crounse has kept in touch with the vast agricultural nterests of Ivebraska and be has long been in sympatby with the reforms chat the republicans have been try- ing to effect. Should he be elected he will make an executive of whom the state will be proud.” p Campaign.

For once in its history ¢ho Builders and Traders exchange got down to businoss promptly on time wita President Hussey in tue chair. Scoretary Weage read a communication from William H. Sayward, secretary of the association of builders, inviting the exchange to send a representation to tne aeaication of the new butlding just completed by the ex- change of Buffalo. An address was also delivered explaining the benofits to be derived by the mombers from a regular attendance at the dal sion. During 'change bours, from 11 0. 10 1:30 p. . there are always to be found in the rooms the priucipal contractors in the cit Prosident Hussey again_congratulated tho members on their prosperity, explaining that in spite of the slack times the mectings were better attended and more interesting than ever before. There is now a membership of sixty-six, including six new names added during the past month, The topicof discussion for the meeting was responsible and irresponsible contractors. President Hussey handled the subject in a very able and interesting address, .o which the members present gave their closest at- tention. There was no doubt about the exis tencoof snide contractors who cheapened the standing of theresponsible contractors,and he wanted the exchanwo to_consider why this should bo the case and_if possible provide a remedy for the evil. He blamed the contrac- tors themselves to o great extent in cheap- ening their own work aud placing thom- selves on the level of competition with the known irrespousible man. Architect Blake said that the architects, if they would, mignt do a good dealin the way of providing a remedy by frowning down tho practico of wllowing the lans for buildings 10 be taken from tho office and peddled for oids. If the contraciors would stand by the architects who refused to do this they could snon freeze out the *'snides,” Martin Ittner said that the trouble was that contractors were not heid strictly to their contraets. Gustave Andreen blamed the owners ana not the contractors, and said that as long as there were “snide” owners there would be “snide” contractors aud contracts would be let to irresponsivle men ana skullduggery would exist, He iliustratea one of his points with the statoment that an allosed contractor who had ‘jumped” a contract at Blair was now putting 1up ono of tho new school buildings. Suporintondent Coots was afraia that there never would b2 o time when snide con- ractors would not exist, and he thought it the dutyof the exchange to refuse to bid against them, Half a dozen others took part in the discus- sion and the subjsot was thoroughly sifted and ventilated 10 a spirited ana rather lengthy dobate. The secretary announced that two copies of plans were in the room aud that the time for bidding would be up on Kriday night at S0'clock. ‘The usual lunch was served, and was en- j.;)yad by the audience as well as the mem- ers, e igget!

Mort to Amend Association Cuicago, TlL, Aug. 11.—Chairman Walker, on beholf of the commissioners of the Western Traftic association, gave out three decisions today, all of them pertaining to rates on transcontineatal business. Tho first is in velation to a proposition to advance the westbound tramscontinental rates on packing nouso products from all points east of the Missouri river. The idea is to readjust theso rates on o new basis. leaving the Mis- souri river rates 5 vents per 100 pounds and the rates from Chicago and common points 10 conts per 100 pounds. In their circular the commissioners call at- tention to the fact that the price of hogs is higher at the Mississippt river than at tho Missouri river and still higher at Chicago. Under the present adjustment of rates, tho greator part of the Pacific coast trafiic in this line of business has therefore been en- joyed by the Missouri river packers, yet it hias been possivlo for packers whose houses are situated further east to compete for at least a share of the business, particularly in cases in which they pack some speciol brand having a favorable roputation on the Pacific coast. Want to Retaln the Trade. It is urged that if the disadvantage which they now labor under, of bemg obliged to pay more for their hogs than is paid by their wostern competitors, added to the further disadvantago of being compelled to pay a higher freight rate, the effect will be to drive them out the Pacific coast trade, and leave the business in question entirely within the hands of the Missouri river firms, Further- more, the commissionors hold that the present adjustment of Colorado rates has been brought about by mutual coacessions mudo by opposing interests, the intention not only of placing stippers on a basis of equality as compared with each other, but also of properiy protocting the interests of the various carriers and securing o fair di- vision of the business between them. In order to sccure :his object, each line of husi- ness has been treated as 'its special circum- stances bavoe seemed to require and the east- bound rates, for instance, have been adjusted upon a basis raaically different from that adopted for westbound traffe. For theso | nudother reasons the commissioners dony the application. In another decision the commissioners au- thorize the establishment of carload rates to points in tho territory of the Transconti- nental assoclation for the transportation of machinery in mixod carioad lots, including therewith certain specified articles deomed properly analogons thereto. The third de- cision 1 to the effect that a rate of §2.25 per 100 pounds should boe established for the transportation of carload lots of cotton bags from New York and common points to Pacific coast terminal points. Why the « Although the Burlington company has been defeated in its attempt to secure the adop- tion of important amendments to the West- ern Freight association agreement, it is pos- sible a second amendment will be made be- fore the close of the year with better pros- pects of success. At present the Western ‘Traffic association stands 1n the way. The Chicago & Alton and Chicago Great West- ern are not members of that organization and it was theso two roads that voted down the Burlington amendment in the Western Freight assoclation. The general impression seems to be that the Alton and Chicago Great Western in opposing the amendments were actuated by a desire to retain the advantage they now have over the lines belouging to the We.-tern Traftic association. Under the rules and operations of the other organizations, members are to & great extent deprived of the power of indiviaual action, and under the most favorable circum- stances it takes six to nine members to get a question of any importance settled. Under the agreement of the Western Freight as- sociation, as it now stands, the Alton and the Great Western can take action on subject by giving ten days notice, and as their competitors aro ali members ot the Western Traffio association, it gives them a grout advantage. It was probably for this reason they voted against the Burlington amendments, which were calculated to place all the roads on an equal footir.g. But it is belleved that the Western Traffic association Is rapidly approaching dissolu- tion, and when it is out of the way there is not likely to be any further opposition to the amendment, Death of Hugh Riddle. Hugh Riddle, chairman of the executive committee, Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway company, and ex-president of the corporation, died " {ast night at his residenco in this_city of heart diseaso.

Then comes the consiaaration of added oxpenses incident to the World's fair in those torms: “The holding of the World's Columbian exposition at Jackson park (a triangular boay of land lying between Liake Michigan, the Tilinois Contral and your South Chicago railroad) has determined the directors of the growth of Chicago soutbward and has made it necessary to raise nearly two and a half miles of your railway above the grade of the streots entering the park from the waest. The outlay for that purpose, incluaing the disposition and repairing of streets, Is estimated at 1,350,000, of which $350,000 will o borne by other fatorests benefited by the change. “As no other railway than the [llinois Central connects the oity with a site of tho exposition, improved passengar service must be provided over the eight miles which sepa- rato those places. The equipment required for such service was last yoar ostimated by a committee of engincers rs fifty locomotive engines and 500 coaches, costing $2,100,000. While it is now certain thai a muoh tess sum will provide all that will be neeaeaq, it is ob- vious that a largo and somewhat uncertain outiay must be provided for this purpose. “The number of passengers coming from distant points to Chicago during the expo: tion will also be very large, while the cow pany's passenger equipwment is bavely suffi- cleat for present demands. Additional coaches, baggage cars and engines must be purchased. “The increase in the export of grain by .way of New Orleans from 5,000,000 bushels in 1880-01 to 23,000,000 in 1861-02, will re- quire the orection of an elevator at that point, and the growth of traftic in other re- spects has compalled the building of a new freight house and of & train shed adjoining the new passenger station in New Orlcans. “Grade crossings are vemg interlocked, block signals are being introduced and other minor works are uuder way and in contom- plation at various points, Arrangements have been mude for the sale at par of such of the new shares as may not be subscribed and paid for by the share ownor within the time set forth for those purchases respec- tively,” —— DeWitt’s Sarsaparilia cieanses the blood, increnses the anpetite and tones up the sy tem, It has benefitted many people who have suffered from blood disorders.

Efforts to Find Judge Clarkson's Body Still Unavailing. Despite tho 00 reward offered for the re- covery of Judge Clarkson’s body little effort was made yesterday to solve tho mystery of Houey Creck lake. The search had boen abandoned by the Omahans, but tho lake was patroled yestorday by a fisherman who dovoted most of tho day to tho work. Tho fated voat, with the clothes, was first found in the north end of tho lake, and 1t 18 supposed that it was that part of tho lake where Judge Clarkson went in for a plungo. Tho uorth end of the lake has been thoroughly explored, but tho south and deeper portion of tho lake has searcely been traversed. Tho lakeis amero swamp ex- tending for a_mile and a half along tho rail- road track. In the south part it is about ten foot deep, but the greater portion is less than three foet deop and filiod with pond lilies and other \water plants.
