8 1S NPROVED CONSTIUTION Good Foints in New Laws of Omaha Central Labor Union. INDCRZEMENT OF BILLS AND VISITING RULES Agitation for Unlon of American Federa: tion and Kuights of Labor Making It- solf Felt—Song of the Biue Label —¥rom Lavor's Fleld. During the past year there was a constant demand in labor circles for a new constitu- tion for the Omaha Central Labor union, Dbut the matter never took definits shape until four weeks ago, when Messrs. R. G. Jenness, J. B, Schupp and August Bcerman were clected as o committee to prepare new by-laws ana constitution for the union. ‘These gentlemen spent many hours in pre- paring the new document and at the meet- fng of the union last Wednesday evening submitted the result of their labors, which was adopted with but few changes and thoae of minor importance. B One of the members in speaking yesterday of the new constitution, said: “The new by-laws and constitution have several good points that were rot contained in the old ones. One point in particular strikes me as being about the right thing. The old consti- tution did not permit visitors under any cir- cumstances whatever, which was in my opinion not necessary. Now, the new consti- tution will admit any member of a union or assembly that is represented in the central body. The only thing necessary for the ad- mittance of & visiting member of organized labor mnow is for one of the dele- gates for the organization to which he belongs to vouch for him by stating that he knows the party asking admission tobe s member in good standing. This clause will give general satisfaction to all the organizations represented and makes it possible now for any one intercsted in or. ganizations to be present at the meetings of the central organization. The visitors, of course. huve no vote or voice in the proceed- ings of the union, but it is a satisfaction to many to attend and see how the business is transacted “A very important change was also made fn regard to the work of legislative commit- tees, Heretofore a committee on legislation has been clected and given full power to act, the union depending entirely upon the judg- ment of the committee 1o lfll‘lul_l- late bills and take any action it might_choose. Hereafter all committees on legislation will be requived to present all bills to the union for action boeforo being in- troduced. This, in my opinion, is a good safeguard and insures that all measures ad- vocated and introduced by organized labor will voice the sentiments ofthe working people. Of course we have never had any trouble on this score, because the men we have elected on these committees have al- ways been level headed, but we do uot kuow who might be elected in the future und it is well to have this clause anyhow. 'Then, furthermore, 1 believe that a bill bearing a Blipattached with the sealand signatures of the union will stand a_better chance of be- coming a law than when simply approved by one or two men. ‘There are several other good points in the new constitution, and, taken as a whole, I think it will give gen- eral satisfaction to all afiliated unious.” Unloii of Federation Knlghts. There is considerable discussion now going on in local labor circles regarding the probability of a union in the noar future be- tween the American Federation of Tabor and the Knignts of Labor. It was thought by local labor leaders that President Gomp- ers wis opnosed to foininfs the two organiza- tions as one, but since his re-clection he has somewhat changed on this and several other ts and is now inclinea to listen to the o by the progressive clement of the American federation. The organiza- in almost every locality have worked cher by forming central labor unions and de and labor assemblics, and the rank and file have for the past three years been clamoring for a union of the national organizations, which seemed almost impos- siblo 50 long s Powderly and Gompers were the leaders.

Likewise the samo agitation camo within eighty-twos| votes of defeating Gompers for re-clection. which was a pretty close call, out of a total vote of over 2.500. The Gompcrs faction would certainly havo been dislodged had 1t not been for the mistake that was made by his opponents in making the issue the re- moval of the headquarters to the west, which held many of the eastern delegates in line for &ompers. ‘I'his continual agitation by the rank and file of both organizations 18 now having its effect in the high places and the labor lead- ers of this city ave of the opmion that the union of both forces will take place within the next few months,or ina yearat the longest. ‘'ne sentiment in Omuha for the past three or four years has been for concentration of all labor forces and the local organizations have at no time taken part in the differences that have existed between the heads of the two organizutio Song o slue Label.

Porrsovng, Jun, 1L.—The millmen at the Carncgie works, Beaver Falls, have inau- gurated a movement, which will probably be joined by all the wige carnors in that vicinity, to secure a genvral reduction of rents. The men, who have recently been reduced in wages, insist that it is unpossible to con tinue paying such high rates on low wages and the cut in rents must correspond with the cut in their earnings. Ou the same lines an effort will be mado to secure something in the snupe of a concession in prices from the leading mercantile cstablishments, in- cluding the butchers, bakers, grovers, ete.

He denounced the extra session scheme of Governor Waite as one of the worst things that could have happened to_Colorado. While in Moxico he talked with several officials regarding Governor Waite's proposition to circulate Mexican dollars 1 Colorado as legal tender; they all wade reuch sport of the proposition and de clared it was not feasible. He did uot men- tion 1t to President Diaz, as he w ushamed to.

Torexa, Jan, 1—[Special to Tur Bee.|—In Kansas, beit in polivics, in religion, or in nature, the uuusual, the freakish, is always happening. The latest wonder is reported from Linn county, near the Missour1 border, and it is nothing less than a hot mir woell. The story is verified by A. R. Van Doorn, & lumber dealer of Atchison, who was last week driving from Butler, Bates county, Mo., to La Cygne, Linn county. Just after he had crossed the Missouri line he came to the farm of John John- son. The farm lies partly in the valley of the Marias de Cygnes river and partly in the upland. The farm house is lo- cated on a sort of o second benen of the val- ley and stands back fifty yards from the main traversed rond. As he aporoached tho house his attention was first attracted by a roaring round and next by a crowd of men, women and childred gathered about a der- rick. The crowd seemed to be 8o greatly in terested and excited vhat Van Doornand his driver, their curiosity aroused, got out of their buggey and joined it They learned “that n boring for water Johuson had at a depth of ninety feet pene. trated a cavern to which there seemed to be no bottom, outof which thereconstantly poured a steady flow of hot air, 8o strong in volume that it was with difficulty that the arill was held down, and so intense was the heat that the men at the mouth of the hole were driven away, and when they released their hold upon the dvill it immediately shot ubward, damaging the derrick and other machinery and breaking the gas pipe which connected with the drill poiut. Until the drill was wholly removed from the mouth of the well the rush of air caused a din of sounds re- sembling a myriad of sharp little steam whistles, and when the obstruction was taken away thie noise sounded like the roar of a blast furnace, The find of this phenomenon was made December 18, but the flow has not fora moment relaxed in volume or force, and the roar can ve heard a quarter of a mile away. The curiosity attracts great crowds of farmers, and is the talk of the country round about. At first a little vapor was expelled by the force of the but this has now disavbeared and the flow comes out dry and 5o hot that it tans and even burns one's hands. Mr. Johnson tesied the heat by securing an egg in a wooden clamp and hold- ing 1t in the flow, ana in flve minutes it was roasted as well done as it could be in a bed of hot ashe: - Tocal s have visited the scene and tried to tr he flow to thecurrent of natural gas, which is known to exist in the adjoining county of Miami, but this theory is at once dissipated by the fact that there is no odor of gas or anything clsc w the flow. It comesiout as sweet and pure as the air from a hot air furna While Farmer Johnson's was to find wa original purpose ter when he bored the well, he has devised a plan by which he can put his discovery to good use. His house, which is less than fifty feet away, ho proposes to move more closely to the well and pipe the air for heating purposes. He is a chicken fancier and raises cattlo and hoge, and he will also pipe the air to his chicken house and barns, tempering it, of course, with cold air. In the chicken house ho proposes to use tho air notonly for warming purposes, but will apply it 1o incubators. and when he once gots fairly stavted he will ha hatching every dayand spring ehickens the year round. Ho already hasa good trade in live poultry ith the Arnours of Kansas City, but he will abaudon this and. confine his sules to spring chickens, notonly in the Kunsas City market, but wherever ho can find a demand.

How Duteh Capita’ists Wore Induced to To- vest in Poor ©'r TorerA, Jan. 1.—[S to The construction of a new railro: way bridge over vhe Missouri Leavenworth, which was formaily for trame January 2, destroys the usefulness of the bridge built nearly twenty-five years ago three miles north of the city at” Fort Leavenworth. The old bridge isa splendid iron structure, It cosy nearly £1,000,000 and was unloaded on Dutch bondiiolders at some- thing like 81,500,000 It was built to accom modate the Chicago & Southwestern ri road, now a part of the Rock Island sy tem. 1t is ar ged for wagon well as railroad traffic, but being away from the city little revenue has been derived from that sou The revenuo from railroad toll has also been compari tively light, as the road does only a local business at Leavenworth, In consequence no dividends ever have been paid on the stock, and the bondholders have reccived very littlo on interest account. Tney have sought in_various ways to gev vid of the property, but the Rock Island, which is the only company that could possibly have any use for it, found it more_economical to pay rentor toil charges. Now this source of revenue w1l soon be gone, as the railroad company has made a contract with the new bridge. and the Dutchmen will have a costly piece of dead property on their hands, which will sooner or later be giad to sell for old ‘iron. “The bridge located so far from the city for the sole und only purpose of stealing the splendid military reservation of 1,500 s which surrounds Fort Leavenworth. This steal was the project of the construc- tion company which built the Chicago & Southwestern il d. Congress gave the railroad a narrow right of way for a short distance over the eastern part of the reser- vation. but bill after bill to grant any other interest in the tract was d ated, and finally the scheme was_abandoned and the road was sold to the Rock Island.
