4 THE OMAHA DAILY RBEE: FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 18914 (ITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Wiley Contingent Wins a Viotory on Ques- tion of Unpaid Bill MAYOR'S VETOES VIOLENTLY OVERRIDDEN Result of a Star Chamber Sesston with Wiley and Bait Prepared by Wheeler —Kountze Not Allowed to Ke- pair Wooden Sidewalks, Beventeen members attended the adjourned sossion of the city council last night, and trom start to finish Solon L. Wiley of the new Omaha Thomson-Houston Electric Light tompany came pretty fhear having things his own way. During the months of January, November and December, 1803, and February, March and May, 1804, Mayor Bemis vetoed bills of the lighting company aggregating $15,- 119.35. Since those dates, the Wileyites In the council have been unable to muster enough votes to pass the bills over his veto. Yesterday, all or nearly all of the members of the council held a star chamber session In one of the committee rooms, Mr. Wiley attending, and giving advice when needed. This was all on the quiet, but as soon as the council met Mr. Wheeler let the cat out of the bag. In doing this he moved that all of the Wiley bills vetoed by the mayor be included in the monthly appropriation sheet for general expenses {ncurred. In ex- planation, he said that Mr. Wiley had agreed to reduce to $111.50 each, all of his street lamps, 196 in number, for the balance of the year. He dwelt at great length upon the great saving that this would be to the city, saying that 100 of the lamps were being paid for at $175 per lamp, per year and th the others were those that were put in at $140 cach. In making the statement, however, Wheeler forgot to say that the contract for the $140 lamps expired on June 1 of the pres- ent year, and that the cintract for the 100 $176 lamps would expire on November 2 1894, SWALLOWED THE BAIT. This bait caught the members of the coun- cll, and they swallowed it, hook, sinker, bob- ber and all, notwithstanding the fact that the vetoes of the mayor had been based upon the fact that lights had not burned, and that they had not emitted 2,000 candle power, as specially provided for by the contracts entered into at the time when Mr. Wiley commenced stringing his overhead wires long years ago. The vote on allowing Mr. Wiley's bills was as follows: Yeas—Back, Bechel, Bruner, Berkley, Cahn, Edwards, Hascall, Holmes, Jacobsen, Lemley, Parkers, Saunders, Thomas, Wheeler, Mr. President—15. Nays —Elsasser and McAndrews. Absent and not voting—Specht. It was anticipated that Mr. Hascall, chair- man of the judiciary committee, would re- port upon his city electrician vacancy, but upon this subject he was as silent as the grave, not even referring to the knockout blow that he got below the belt the other day when he appeared in Judge Walton's court, when L. H. Rheem was perpetually enjoined from drawing a salary as city electrician. The mayor vetoed the resolution to locate a gasoline lamp on North Twenty-fourth street, beyond Fort Omaha, glving as reasons that the lighting fund was about exhausted and that there were already two lamps within & distance of 300 feet of the place where it was proposed to locate the lamp. The veto was sustained, but when the roll was called Mr. Hascall tried to be funny by saying: “The mayor is usually wrong, and as I think that he s wrong this time, I will vote to reject the veto.” KOUNTZE'S SIDEWALKS. Touching upon the question of permancnt sidewalks, Mayor Bemis sent the following veto message to the council: I return herewlth, without my approval, resolution No. 71 of June 5, allowing H. Xountze to repair the wooden sidewalks opposite certain designated lots in K. ountze's reserve and Kountze & Ruth's addition. This resolution is directly contrary to the provisions of ordinance No. 2015, which makes it a misdemeanor to maintain other than a permanent sidewalk on any paved street in the city. 1f this ordinance’is to be enforced at all, it seems to me to be a very short sighted policy to exempt from rovisions a man who is probably the wealthlest of our citizens. If this resolution becomes a law we may as well repeal all ordinances relating to sidewalks, as e tions will then become the rule.’ It will be fmpossible to enforce the law against the small property owner when the owners of large additions are exempt from its r quirements. There are hundreds of walks in the city which are in a dangerous con- dition, and which should be replaced by good 'walks instead of allowing them to remain 2 menace to pedestrlans, while the city pays hundreds of dollars out of the general fund for injuries received on these same walks. This ‘money should be sav to the general fund by condemning th walks and ordering new ones. The ordi- nance prohibiting the repairing of wooden sidewalks on paved streets is a proper one and should not be repealed. The Board of Public Works has not been unreasonable in its enforcement of this ordinance and it should be supported. The veto was sustained by a vote of 6 to 11. By passing another resolution over the mayor's veto Mr. Kountze was given permis- slon to repair another walk in the same vi- cinity. The contract with John J. Johnson, for painting and bronzing the drinking foun- tans, was presented and approved. Both of the legal advisers of the city rec- ommended settling the sults with A. S. and C. H. Mangold, allowing the former $1,500 and-the latter $1,400 for land taken in en- larging Riverview' park. The council agreed to the settlement and the money to make the payments will be taken from the park bond fund. Another lot of claims arising on ac- count of lands taken for park purposes in the enlargement of Riverview park were re- ferred. The resolution by which the retrenchment order referring to employes of the Board of Public Works was brought from the files, where it was consigned a few weeks ago. After it was placed before the council ‘t was promptly referred to the special committee. City Engineer Rosewater's report, showing the condition of the asphalt pavement laid under the ten-year maintaining contract, was presented and placed on file, For the benefit of the public a drinking fountain, the cost not to exceed $75, was ordered placed gt the Intersection of Sherman avenue and Locust street. OBJECTS TO MOORE'S METHODS, J. A. Cooper filed a complaint against J R. Moore, guard over the city prisoners. He eged that upon many occasions he had seen Mcore and the prisoners loafing when they should have been at work. He also alleged that upon two occasions he had seen the prisoners treated to beer and other liquors. F. J. Nash of Nyack-on-the-Hudson wrote that he had a paint that when applied to fron pipes would prevent electrolysis. He wanted the city to take hold of the matter. The council will investigate this and report at spme subsequent meeting. The sum- of $600 was injected fnto the mppropriation ordinance to relmburse City Treasurer Bolln for money which he paid to W. S. Hutchinson for a smoke consumer which was placed in the clty hall me months ago. Last winter the council ired Hutchinson to place the smoke con- umer in the city bullding. In due time was discovered that the thing would not nsume smoke and was practically worth- s, Notwithstanding this fact, the council Rpproved the bill and it went to the mayor, ho attached his veto. Hefore this, however, utchinson secured the unsigned warrant from Comptroller Olson and rushed over to the treasurer's office, where he got his money, Since that time Mr. Bolin has been bolding the sack, the $600 bhaving been charged against bis account. By resolutions the Board of Public Works was Instructed to eject the squatters from the territory in the’ vicinity of Fourth and Walnut streets. The bid of M. J. Hughes, $107 each, for placing water troughs, was declared the low est, and he was given the contract. A folnt committee reported that until Jan varg 1, 1895, the Wiley company would fur- nish electric lights at $111.50 each. The report was adopted, Mr. Saunders alone voung “no,” and the city attorney was in tructed to draw the contract. ] By resolution the sum of §6,800 was lukcu) DeWitt's Witch Hazel Sab from the school fund and placed in the gen- eral fund, to be paid over to the coal deal- ers who paid licenses of $100 each during the years 1889, 1890 and 1891, An ordinance redistricting the eity for elective purposes was introduced, with the understanding that the precinct boundaries would be inserted at next Tuesday night's meeting. The ordinance giving and granting to any person, company or corporation authori'y to erect poles and place wires along the stieets and alleys for the distribution of electricity for lighting purposes was passed. This is the old Hascall ordinance, introduced last month, - - HAYDEN DBROS, Sale of Dlack Silks and Summer Clothing Friday. Black silk, regular Jap, only 39¢ yard.

A letter received a few days ago by Secre- tary Gillan of the Omaha Board of Educa- tion from Mr. H. C. Platt, secretary of the Board of Education of Los Angeles, Cal., seems to Indicate pretty conclusively that the Omaha Board of Education has struck about the right track in the matter of handling school supplies. About six weeks ago Mr. Platt was in Omaha on his way east for the purpose of Inspecting the various methods off handling supplies. The Los Angeles board had got into some confusion with their store and the board sent Mr. Platt across the country to see what he could learn in order that they might get matters stralghtened out, He stopped in Omaha and examined the method introduced last fall by Secretary Gillan and the committee on sup- plies. After going to St. Louls, Chicago, New York, Denver and several other places Mr. Platt returned home and wrote Mr. Gillan a letter that is to suy wne least very complimentary to the Omaha board and to Mr. Gillany who had most to do with getting up the orders and requisitions now in use. Among other things Mr. Platt says: “After quite a thorough trip of inspection of the method of handling school supplies in dif- ferent departments over the country I find that there are many good ones in use ond I have gained many good Ideas. I am pleased to say that I do not think that there is any system that is better than the one you now use, which I belleve introduced under your administration, and I congratu- late you upon the success that I know it must be. I am convinced that you cannot {mprove much upon the plan you have in- troduced.” Novel Court Proccedings. Friends of one Cunningham R. Scott, a judge who holds forth in the criminal sec- tion of the district court, have been indus- triously clrculating a petition in which Scott is lauded to the skies. The document em- bodles the usual whereases and wherefores, is_typewritten and covers three pages. It sets forth the manner in which Scott 1s alleged to have been maligned, and closes with the cold statement that he {8 an ideal judge and has been courteous to jurors, ‘witnesses and other parties who have had business in his court. The document has been presented to all of the jurors for their signatures, and in some instances they have complied, glving the Judge the clean bill. The jurors, however, are not all of the same mind with reference to the matter, One prominent business man who happened to be on the jury, in discussing the subject yesterday, sald that the petition was shoved under his nose, but he refused to sign it, and when asked for his reason for refusing said that he did not think that it was necessary for a judge of the dlstrict court to get the opinion of the jurors re- garding his character. The judiclary, he said, should be above such things. If a judge was honest and sincere it was not necessary for him to get certificates, as his actions were the best evidence. Discussing the matter farther, this juror said that he had noticed that none of the other judges had asked any of the jurors to give them a £00d charactér, and he could not see why Scott had to ask for a recommendation from men who were in fact officers of the court, i cures plles. T0 BOYCOTT THE PULLMANS Amerioan Railway Union Threatens to Take Vigorous Action Against Sir George, WILL NOT HAUL THE MARQUIS' COACHES While the Strike at Pullman Remalns Un- settled the Company’s Cars Are to Be Detachied from Tralns by Unlon Mewmbers, CHICAGO, June 14.—(Special Telegram to The Bee.)—~That the cutting off of Pullman palace cars from trains will be recommended by the general convention of the American Raflway unfon to subordinate bodies for action seemed almost certain tonight. The presentation of the report of eighteen Pull- man delegates was made the regular order of business for the session this morning. It is believed that the delegation as one man will - suggest a direct boycott of all cars, dining and sleeping, known to belong to the Pullman company. From the remarks of ‘scores of delegates interviewed tonight regarding the question it may be gleaned that the only persons who will not vote for the beginning of ac- tive warfare upon the corporation in order to aid the strikers at Pullman will be rep- resentatives of roads who do not use the Pullman service, and do not, therefore, feel authorized to express any sentiment on this point. But not one of all the men assem- bled here from every point of the union could be found who had a word to say in opposition to a boycott. The sentiment of those opinions tended toward b of Chicago start the fight. Resolutions governing the matter will in all probability be drawn by a speclal com- mittee to be elected for the purpose by the delegates. These will take the form of a recommendation, and will leave the prob- lem to be actually solved by each local union for itself. General Master Workman Soverelgn de- livered an address urging the co-operation of the American Raflway union and the Knights of Labor. At the conclusion of his address President Debs and Vice President Howard responded. A committee drew up a long resolution favoring the alllance, which was unanimously adopted. George C. Ward of Kansas City introduced a resolution providing that the organized rallway employes should refuse to haul coal mined by nonunion miners or by union min- ers who refuse to recognize and obey the orders for a genarel strike issued by the proper general officers. The resolution ap- peared to meet with favor, and it is now likely it will be adopted. It is now in the hands of a committee. who expressed ving the unions BUT WILL THEY DO IT? McBride Thinks the Miners Will Go Back When They Read His Lotter. COLUMBUS, June 14.—President John Me- Bride of the United Mine Workers assoca- tion says he believes that fvhen the miners have read and considered the circular-letter sent out by the national executive board ex- plaining the compromise they will see it in a different light and accept the settlement. He says the miners forced the matter of the strike last fall and he would have resigned at that time if they had permitted him to do so. He did what he believed was for the interests of the miners when he agreed to the compromise. He relieved himself of re- sponsibility and the miners would now have to_assumee it if they continued the strike. PITTSBURG June 14.—At a delegate meet- ing of miners in this district 2,000 were pres- ent, representing 5,000 workmen. Resolu- tions were passed that the miners stand firm for 79 cents, and denouncing the national board and district president for betraying their _trusts. McDONALD, June 14.—There has been no trouble here. The mincrs held a meeting to consider the compromise and rejected it. CLEVELAND, June 14.—General Manager Woodford of the Cleveland, Lorraine & Wheeling road has wired John McBride that rumors that the company will start its mines with nonunion men are false. Mr. Woodford expressed the hope that the strikers would 8o to work Monday. SPRINGFIELD, 1I1., June 14.—The coal op- erators of Springfield sub-district have passed resolutions to the effect that as the settie- ment effected at Columbus by the officers of the miners and operators does not include the central and southern Illinols fields, the operators submit a scale of prices to be paid until May 1, 1895. Leading miners are of the opinion that the strike will continue in this district. WASHINGTON, Ind., June 14.—At a gath- ering of 2,000 miners at White Oak resolu- tions were adopted not to return to work. The men selected delegates to the state meat- ing at Terre Haute next Tuesday instructed to use all means to have McBride removed from the organization. Several of the local unions passed resolutions to burn their char- ters and suspend organization until the mat- ter is settled. CLINTON, Mo., June 14—The Keith & Perry coal miners in Deepwater went to work today at the same rate they worked for be- fore the strike, ALL IS NOT HARMONY, Discord Between Knights and Federation- i5ts Over Card KRecogailtion. ST. LOUIS, June 14.—In speaking of the interchange of working cards which the fed- erationists of the recent labor conference would not allow, Secretary Hayes of the Knights of Labor said: “This was one of the principal questions that came up and it was defeated. I tell you there was little done at this meeting. It 1s hard to accomplish much good when the federation Is bucking agalnst us.” T. B. McGuire of the exccutive board of the Knights of Labor said: “The Interchange of working cards was the only thing that could acomplish the thing required, that is, concerted action, by wage earners. The federationists would like 1t 1f we would break up the Knights of Labor and join them in a body. Now, why should we do this? We are willing to recognize their cards, and we do it.The carpenters in New York, with- out a Knights of Labor card could get no work. We are in the majority there and we recognize the federationists, but when they are in the ascendant do they reciprocate? Not much. They made no proposition to us; we did all the proposing, and I cannot was say that after all there much ac- complished.” ARBITEAT) NG TRAI S WAGES. Court Sitting at 8t.

OHIO MINERS WIL McBryde Defends the OMcers' Maling the Settlement. COLUMBUS, 0., June 14.—President A. A. Adams of the Ohlo Miners unfon (district No. 6) lssued a call today for a meeting of miners in Columbus Tuesday, June 19. He asks the miners to select their best men to represent them, as business of vast importance will have to be acted upon. Secretary McBryde of the National Miners zation states that unless the com- promise Is accepted by the miners that a general meeting will be called, at which the national officers will tender thelr resignation. MecBryde gives It as his opinion that unless the Ohio miners accept the agreement they will be compelled to go back to work for 40 cents a ton fnstead of 60 cents. The national officers formerly treated Adams and his theories with con- tempt, but since he has o strong a follow- ing and endorsing of his course on the agree- ment he s recognized as a formidable factor. McBryde claims that the action of the executive board In signing the scale was in accord with the views of the district pres- idents, of whom Adams was one. Course In Prospective Strike of Iron Miners. IRONWOOD, Mich,, June 14.—The iron miners of the Gobebic range have given thelr ultimatum to the operators. They have sub- mitted to the companies the rate of wages at which they will work and state that should the demands not be granted by Satur- day, June 16, a strike will be inaugurated which will close every mine In the Gobebic. The scale calls for $2 per day for miners and $1.65 for trammers and common laborers. Three thousand men are affected. Troops Ordered to Sharrodsville. CARROLTON, 0., June 14.—The sherift of this county received a telegram from Gen- eral Superintendent Blair of the Wheeling & Lake Erie saying that the miners at Shar- rodsville had burned two bridges and threat- ened the further destruction of property and life.

GREENSBURG, Pa., June 14.—The pump- house at the Alverton coke plant of McClure & Co. was blown up with dynamite shortly after midnight. The explosion was terrific and the building was completely wrecked. The strikers are held responsible for the out- rage and the perpetrators are sald to be known. The miners at Macon, Mo, will retlm to work today. Ironton, O., miners have decided to stay out until’ they get what they struck for. Miners at Midvale, O., will not accepc the settiment, but will continue the strike. The railroad trestle near the old Eagle mines near Monongahela City was burned yesterday. . The miners in the Mission field near Dan- ville, Ind., returned to work yesterday at the old wage: A_delegate convention of coke workers at Uniontown, Pa., unanimously agreed to continue the strike. The bridge burned at Midvale, O. has been rebuilt and coal trains were started yesterday afternoon. / Miners and operators at Danyille, Ky., held a - conference yesterday, but failed to reach a settlement. United States Marshal Brinton armed his deputies at Mount Olive yesterday and succeeded in moving coal trains, Several strikers at Pana, Ill, have heen arrested.

Strikers attacked and beat men employea cleaning up the Cliff mine near Pittsburg. They threaten to burn the works if an at- tempt is made to resume. As soon as all the miners for whom at- tachments have been issued out of the United States courts in Ohio are arrested Judge Taft will go to Columbus and hear the cases. ¥ The arrest of Organizer Wilson at Lonn coning, Pa., caused a sensation among tne men. The charge is conspiracy, in that he was trying to persuade the men not to re- turn to work. Indian Territory miners say they not return to work, but operators think they will in a short 'time. The miners are becoming destitute and many families are suffering for the necessitites of life, Miners fired on the pickets at the Bark- ley mines near Beach Cif 0., last night, but did not hurt any one. They fled and the militia were unable to capture any of them. An attempt was also made to de- a bridge near that point, but it was prevented by the pickets, The situation at Midvale is reported crit- ical.

POWD:RLY WRITES HISTORY Post Mort m Complaint of the Late Head of the Knights of Labor, HOW HE WAS FORCED INTO RETIREMENT Esplonage of the Rankest Kind—Charges Against Gen Hayes ral Secretary-Trensurer y Used to Depose Him, astern M PHILADELPHIA, June i4.—T. V. Pow- derly, ex-master workman of the Knights of Labor, has fssued for private circulation among the members of the organization a statement containing the inside history of the movement which compelled his voluntary retirement. It forms a pamphlet of thirty- four pages. In a review of the circumstances leading up to the events of last fall which have proven so momentous to the Kni of L bor Mr. Powderly alludes to the candidacy of John O'Keefe in 1802 against Mr. Ha; for the office of general secretary-treasurer which was followed by Mr. O'Keefe's dis- charge by Hayes from his position In the gen- eral office. Mr. O'Keefe's complaint to the executive board brought to light complaints from other general office employes, all mem bers of the order, of being watched, dogged and browbeaten. general “They asked for redr Mr. Pow- derly, “and the general exccutive board g them a hearing In the general office. The general secretary-treasurer, who was presi- dent when the clerks and other employes were called before the general executive board, retired and refused to be present at the hearing. The statements made at the hearing were taken down in shorthand disclosed a condition of affairs which the members of the general executiv and gave no little uneasiness. Listening a 5, plcking of pockets, watching eaci ificant move, reading of personal nd, in fact, such practices as would not be tolerated in any factory or other industrial institution in the land, were stated to be of daily occur- rence in the general office, “When the general secretary-treasurer was requested by the board to abolish the system of espionage which .prevailed in the office he denied that any such condition of affairs existed. When pressed he said, in substance: ‘I have information that will damn the whole of you. I can go to the world with a state- ment that you are all engaged in stock job- bing, land speculating, and in every way neglecting the business of the order for per- sonal affairs.’ “When told that would not be true, he sald: ‘It don't make a bit of difference; once a lie is told it will go, and I will lie whenever I want to score a point.’ " Mr. Powderly then takes up the charge: Hayes against the general executive b which he denies in every detail. Recount- ing the consideration of the charges in the last general assembly, Mr. Powderly's state- ment says: “When I had spoken for four hours and twenty minutes, all told, and the general secretary-treasurer (Hayes) had con- cluded his thirteen-hour talk, Hugh Greenan of District assembly 49 stood up and asked the general secretary-treasurer if there was any truth in his charges and he said there was_ not. “Did these men misappropriate any of the money of the order? Did they usé any of it for their personal ends? ~Have they squandered the funds? were the words of Greenan, as near as I can remember them. The answer of the general secretary-treasurer was ‘No' to each question. “When making his speech the general sec- retary-treasurer said: ‘I alwi wanted to get rich; I want to be rich and I will get rich if I can.’ ) At another time, after explaining the work- ings of a gas scheme in which he was en- ed, he said: ‘I am the manager, the reasurer and the board of directors of the company. I made $5,000 on it this morning and I have the money in my inside pocket now." “When the St. Louis general assembly was in session,” continues the statement, “‘Jam: Hughes told me that the national demo- cratic committee had $5,000 there to defeat me for re-election. I paid mo attention to his statements and told him it could not be true. He said he had the proofs. At a banquet given by the St. Louis locals that evening James R. Sovereign, who sat op- posite me, wrote a card and handed it to me. From the card now before me I quote these words: _ “There are $5,000 here from the cast to defeat your re-clection. Say noth- ing. It will fail’ “In conversation he said he was positive that the statement wi correct and that he knew who had the money.” The general master workman closes with to the members to hold their cld but to scrutinize all and not allow so many ‘‘paper as- semblies” to be organized that the genuine ones will be outvoted at the next gencral assembly at New Orleans, moot thusiasm.
