FREMONT, Neb., Dec. 14.—(dpecial)—A meeting of the mayors and city ofctals of the citles of the second class, having over 5,000 and under 25,000 inhabitants, s in session at the club rooms to prepare new laws for the fncorporation of such cities The first session was held yesterday after- noon. Those present are: Mayors F. W braska City, B. 0. Hostetler of Kearney and C. A. McLoud of York and E. A. Fer- furson, city clerk of Hastings, L. J. Caps, city attorney of Hastings, R. J.

No extensive or radical changes in the general tendency of the present laws have been recommended. About the only important change so far de- cided upon is the elestion of as many coun- cilmen-at-large as there are wards in the city and of one councilman from each ward, the mayor, clerk, treasurer and police judge to be elected and the city attorney, mar- shal, street commissioner and other of- ficlals to be appointed by the mayor with the consent of,the council. Considerable latu- tude 1s given the councils In fixing the sal- arles of the officers. Changes will doubt- less be recommended in the laws governing paving, fire departments and some other matters. The sessions of the officials will probably not be concluded before tomorrow morning. They expect to prepare a bill which will meet with no particular opposi- tion in the legislature. The cities to ba affected by it are: Beatrice, Grand Island, Fremont, Hastings, Kearney, Nebraska City, Plattsmouth and York. HOW FARMER FOOLED A TOWN ST.

Many hair preparations are * cause they are merely scalp irritants. They often cause a dryne making the halr brittle, and, finally, lifeles Dandruff is the cause of all trouble with hair. It is germ discase. scales as it dige to the root of the halr, where it destroys the halr's vitality, caus- ing the hair to fall out.

AGAINST TRADE AUTONOMY | | | American Federation of Lator Deolares for Centralization in Unionism, { PRINTERS AND MACHINISTS AIR TROUBLE Favor | Volantary Isory Resolutions Adopted Which Providiang Rather Than Co Arbitration LOUISVILLE, Ky, Dec. 14.—~The Amer| " can ederation of Labor today placed ftsclt | on record opposed to trade autonomy and in favor of centralization in trade un- | fonism, establishing a precedent for the es- | tablishment of future organizations of the | count Two propositions for autonomy voted down on the ground, as stated [ by th sments, that they tend to dis- | | integrate the large central labor unions | | and destroy their power and prestige. The | cenvention showed a disposition to compro- | mise on the question, recommending that | be ditferent organizations come to some ent for the Interchange of cards | and disclaiming the competency of the fed- eration to legislate for any afiiated uinfon. The first resolution for autonomy passed upon was designed to allow the auxiliary | workmen employed in breweries to with- | draw from the United Brewery Workers and join the unions of thelr respective craft It was defeated. The second was resultant from the long existing controversy between the Interna- tional Machinists’ association and the Inter- | national Typographical union. Upon the | latter the committee on resolutions sub- mitted a proposition for a policy of non- interference. After a hard fight on the floor a compromise was finally adopted, ex- | pressing regret at the alleged disposition | of the Typographical union to refuse ar- | bitration, but still refusing to commit the | federation to Interference in the strife bes tween the (wo unious. The committee reported unfavorably on a | resolution providing that the executive council employ a member of the Federa- tion, to be known as the “labor reporte whose duty it should be (o collect labor news and distribute it to members of the Assoclated Labor Press of America. Del- egate Agard of Illinols, speaking in favor of the resolution, pald a high tribute to the entire press of America, to which he said organized labor was under tremendous obligations. Many delegates opposed the | resolution on the ground that under the direction of a regular labor reporter the labor news might be colored and distorted. The previous question was ordered and the resolution was defeated by the adoption of the adverse report of the committee, A resolution for the further organiza- tion of the textile and other crafts of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgla and Alabama and the appointment of an organizer for that purpose was referrsd to the incoming executive council without recommendation. Coeur d’'Alene Trouble Alred. The special committee on the report of the president indorsed Mr. Gompers' de- | nunclatior of the authorities of Idaho for the alleged illegal action during the Coeur Q'Alene labor troubles in Shoshone county, Idaho. Governor Steunenberg was con- demned for alleged usurpation during the riots, and Congressman John J. Lentz of Ohlo was commended for the introduction of his resolution requesting the president of the ‘United States.to withdraw the troops from Shoshone county. The report also containcd a commendation of “those congressmen who endeavored to bring out the facts in the Coeur d’Alene matter.” The report expressed agreement with President Gompers in his statement that the contract labor law has proven in- effectual, and the executive council was in- structed to formulate and submit to the proper committees of congre: further legislation on the matter necessary to meet the exigencies exiating. The special committee on compulsory arbitration reported as in full accord with President Gompers when he sald that the right to quit work was an inviolable prorog- ative of every American workman and a | restriction of that right an outrage on the Itberties of the American people. The ro- port recommended that the convention take such action as will secure legislation for voluntary arbitration as opposed to compulsory arbitration. The reports of both special committees were unanimously adopted. The commit- tee on grievances made recommendations, the effect of which is against dfrect trade autonomy aud in tavor of the establishment in the federation of friendly courts of arbitration for the settlement of inter- labor disputes. 'The recommendations were referred to the committee on laws.

The recent money loan scandul was also referred to. The court traced much of the immorality in Chicago to child Jabor and the employment of girls and women in factories and stores at small ages for long hours and he sald the pub- llo mind should be aroused to the estab- lishment of refuges and homes for those women, who by the recent closing of the dives had been driven to the streets. In reference to the municipal government, Judge Gibbons said in hs instructions: I public officials and the conservators of public peace and purity are in I with Inwbreakers and offenders decency, affording them {mmunit punishment In return for & division f spolls, bring those ofeclals to the bar of Justice.
