LOSS OF FIFTY THOUSAND DOLL, Firemen Do Good Work, Desplte the Fallure of City Water ¥ » Good Ivate Give Fire at the Cudaby packing plant in South Omaha yesterday caused a loss of not less than $50,000, but the insurance earried on the bullding and stock amounts to $60, 000, The fire originated in the and was under good headway before an alarm was sounded. When tha whistles blew for a general alarm the packers and the Stock Yards company sent fully equipped departments to assist the city de- partment. Fifteen lines of hose as possible, but there was a lack of press ure, and to make matters worse the Cudahy pumping station failed to work. This gave the fire & good headway Superintendent Collins of the Omaha Water company secured additional pressure by telephoning, and then the pumping en- gine was repaired, so that there was from ninety to 100 pounds of water pressure, By hard work the firsmen kept the flames confined to the p department. This bullding is now a total loss, although the walls are still standing. The inflamable contents of the bullding made a great smoke and caused the impression to prevail that the entire Cudahy plant was on fire. No ul pepein dry room wers 1aid as rapldly psin Finan Loss. In speaking of the firo E. A. Cudahy sald that a Jarge stock of extract of beef and prepared pepsin was destroyed. There would be no financlal loss to the company, nelther would there be any delay in fill- iog orders now on hand, as stock would be secured from the other Cudahy houses. The bullding which was destroyed was erected about fourteen or fifteen years ago and was reinsured only a short time ago. Mr. Cudahy paid his compliments to Chief Ettor, Assistant Chief Holland and the packing house firemen and Invited all to supper with him when the fire was extin- guished, at 6 o'clock. While considerable excitement was caused by the blaze, the fact that it was confined to one bullding shows that the fire-Aghting force"did good work. Hundreds of people gathered around the plant to view the fire, but the crowd in no way Interfored with the work of the de- partment, About seventy-five people will be thrown out of employment temporarily while a new bullding is being erected.

WAR OF UNIONS IMMINENT Organizer for | in Lecal F' President Gompers May Be For Pat Paid Organizer {n Missonrl Valley Territory to Protect s Organization, The Western Labor union has decided tc carry the war fnto the enemy's country, and with will be at different trades at Missouri river points Word was recelved from Denver yester- day that J. B. Armstrong, a speclal organ- izer of the Western Labor union, started from Denver and would be in Coun- cil Bluffs Friday to institute tunions which will affiliate with the western organization. Armatrong fs commissioned as a regular or- | Banizer of the United Association of Hotel fand Restaurant Employes, and it /s under- Jurisdiction. This visit of the Western Labor union or- ganizer to the Missouri river means, the opinion of those who have had ex- perlence with the work where the rivals are strong, that labor affairs in Omaha and vicinity will be in a deplorable condition for some time to come If the organizer re- will be accorded him. The fight between the Western has been on for several years in the west, particularly in the states of Colorado, Mon- tana, Utah and Idaho. union was formed by the assoclation were not connected bodles: compor one trade, with International United States, pald little attention to the west, leaving the isolated uplons to stand or fall as they might, while it devoted its entire attention to organizing the eastern states. At the same time the unlons of the west which were affillated with Interna- tlonal unlons of the same trade were forced the American Federation ot Labor. From time to time appeals were sent to the ex- asking for assistance and for organizers in the west. These appeals met with indiffer- ence on the part of the governing board untll many of the local unions were forced In self-protection to throw up their Inter- national charters and the Western Labor union. This union, being composed entirely of unions in the mountain country, pald strict attention to the welfare of the component unions. Un- like the American Federation of Labor, its rules provided for a strike fund, which was freely spent in many hard fought contests between employers and employed in the western communities, Encouraged at One Time. While the western organization confined its sphere of mctivity to the smaller towns shoulders of the Labor, the latter organization rather en- couraged the new society, although, even then mutterings were heard from the Miners' unton against the miners afliated with the western unon, When the development of manufactures and trades In the larger cities of the west reached a point where local unions of in- ternational trade organizations could not only maintain themselves, but could render much assistance to the internationals, these organizations, clalming soverelgn powers over the trades, organized locals in the larger citics. In many of these places there wero alregdy unions in the same trades afflinted with the Western Labor unfon and there was an immediate clash between the rival unlons. Denver was ‘one of the few cities in the west where the American Federation of Labor and its afliated bodies were strong. The first attempt at retaltation on the part of the Western Labor union was the forma- tion of rival unions In that clty. These unions demanded recognition In the Denver Trades and Labor assembly, with the re- sult that for several months the meetings of that assembly have been occasions for the greatest discord, at times almost amounting to riot. The American Federa- tion forces have had the best of the con- teat 8o far, but the trouble is still at fts helght. Missouri river terrltory has until this time been accorded to the Amerlcan Fedora- tion of Labor and its allies, but there have been many complaints on the part of local unions on account of the action of the ex- ecutive council of the federation in not sending organizers into this field and the course of Preaident Gompers and his as- soclates has been greatly criticleed, es- peclally by the plumbers and a few other afliated organizations, who claim that the federation has endeavored to build itself up at the expense of the trade unions com- posing the body and that one unlon has been pitted against another where this would answer the purposes of the managers of the federation. At the same time, on account of the numerical strength of the American federation the locals in the Mis- sourl valley have without exception decided to stand by that organization.
