GOMPERS ARRIVES IN OMAHA American Federation President Speaks Enthusiastically of Organized Labor. 'WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO STRIKERS Mr. Gompers Says Central Or tion is in Hearty Accord with Strikiag Workmen of the Unlon Pacifie. “Organized labor has come to stay, and those great corporations which are now _ Gealing with strikes, the mining and rail- road Interests, will, If they have not ready, realize thia fact. Wo have passed that stige of anger or depression and are mow proceeding along the most intelligent Jines for the preservation and protection of pur interests.” Samuel Gompers, president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, epoke in these terms yesterday morning of the Industrial pituation of the country. Mr. Gompers, with President W. D. Mahon of the Street Rafl- way Employes' assoclation, arrived In Omaha yesterday morning, and with Presi- dent James O'Connell of the International mssoclation of Machinists, who arrived in the afterncon, addressed a mass meeting last might in Wushington hall in the Interests pt organized labor. “The laboring man wants nothing beyond bis own rights,” continued Mr. Gompers, "but he wants that with all his heart and youl, and will have it. We are not an an- tagonistic body, seeking to undermine or Mestroy the interests of capital; we want peacetul relations with capital at all times and under all circumstances, but we also want falr treatment the hands of the rapitalists and will insist upon having it.” ¢ In Accord with Strikers. Mr. Gompers was asked about the attitude of the American Federation of Labor to- ward the present strike on the Union Pa- eific. He said: “It is one of heartlest accord. The ma- chinists, bollermakers, carmen and all other shopmen, who are members of the Ifederation, have the fullest sympathy and 'co-operation of the central organization and it will stand by them throughout the struggle. “We look upon the action bf the strik- ers here as just and right. They are fighting for what they should have and are carryihg on a peaceable, intelligent jcontest that indicates a profitable set- tlement for them. The situation looks good from our standpoint. We have no reason whatever to feel discouraged. In !fact, we never feel discouraged over any- /thing. Defeat only gives us new impetus and inspiration, for we know our cause is a great and just one and must eventually succeed. As I said before, organized labor is not a transitory thing, but a tangible, llving movement that has come to stay and not to be swept aside by the powerful opposition which its enemies may heap upon it." Asked If he would intercede with the officials in behalf of the Union Pacific strikers while here, Mr. Gompers replied: “Certainly not unless asked to do so, and thus far no one has aprpoached me on that subject. I do not know that there s any occasion for me to take such a step now. Things are running along very well indeed.” Able for Long Fight. President Gompers said that the strikers here and at other places on the Union Pa- cific were able and determined to wage a long fight if necessary. “They will not 'skulk and run to get other jobs elsewhere, nor will their places here be filled by other union men from abroad,” he declared, ‘‘for @8 a matter of fact every shopman in this country has a direct interest in this very |y, strike and not one would undermine his ‘fellow workmen by coming here to work in |his place. That is not organized labor and fio one should allow himself to be decelved into thinking it is. Another thing that wants to be borne in mind s that shopmen are not plentiful over this country. There are none of them competent who are out of work except those who are on a strik Speaking of the situation in the coal umining reglons of Pennsylvania, Mr. Gom- pers said the miners were waging & good fight and had hopés of winning. The situa- tion, he said, is an aggravated one and a strong and determined effort would be necessary to bring about victory. He de- \clared that every day every possible effort 18 being made by the labor interests to in- duce a settlement. “No stone is left un- turned that might afford a solution of this ‘vexing probiem. But anxlous as those miners are for a settlement, they are not woing to quit without some very substan- tial conalderations. There must be con- lons made to them or they will not give in. 3 He sald the straln of present strikgs, ‘while heavy, was not testing the strength or vitality of the American Federation of Labor, which organization is increasing in potency every day. . 3 Mr. Mahon Talks. Mr. Mahon said the interests of the street car men are improving every day. During the last year over $1,000,000 increases in ‘wages have been secured over the United States. In Detroit alone the men have realized $60,000 more in thelr pay and in New Orleans $186,000, The conditions in Omaha, he sald, were satisfactory and he bad no mission here of especial concern to the raillway employes.

FINDS DAUGHTER IN HOSPITAL Kansas Woman, After Year's Search, Finds Gl Siek from Overwork, An affecting scene occured at St. Joseph's hospital Sunday when Mrs. Cook of Smith Center, Kan., and her l4-year-old daugh- ter, Goldie, were united after a vear's separation. About a year ago Mr. Cook deserted his wife and family in Smith Cen- ter, ond returning to that place several days later, persuaded his daughter to leave her mother and go with him. As soon as Mrs. Cook learned of her hunband's visit and that he had secured possession of their child, she sent descriptions of the two to the various cities of the country. For al- most a year her search was in vain. Re- cently she wrote to the Omaha police. Detectives Heltfelt and Donohoe found the girl with a family named Brown in the eastern part of the city. The father had deserted the girl several days before and had left the city. Goldie was sick in bed at the time the police found her. The police sent her to St. Joseph’s hospital, where she remained un- til Mrs, Cook arrived Sunday, and left that night with her for their home In Smith Center. To the officers, Goldle said-that after she left home with her father, they went to Towa. There her father secured for her a position in a restaurant and compelled her to work every day. Recently they came to Omaha and though she was eick at the time, her father agaln compelled her to find work. She secured employment in a restaurant on North Sixteenth: street and the money she made went for the support ot her father and herself. During all this time the father did no work, living on what she made. HIRST’S CONDITION HOPELESS OMectial ' Board of First Methodist rch Advised Pastor's Condition, Dr. A. C.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: DIETRICH TALKS IRRIGATION Says New Law Will Be of Incaloulable Benefit to Nebraska. WILL BfiNG MANY SETTLERS WESTWARD Anaounces that Between Five Six Million Dollars Alre; Awaits Disbursement on Reservoirs and Canals, Senator Charles H. Dietrich arrived in the city from Washington yesterday and was & guest at the home of Dr. W. H. Hanchett. He left last evening for Lincoln, where he will stop briefly before going to his home at Hastings. His daughter, Gertrude, who has been with him in Washington, will spend the summer months at a watering place in the Adirondacks in the hope of benefiting her health, which has not been robust. Senator Dietrich, speaking of the irriga- tion bill, which recently became a law, sald: “Having lived In the west for so many years I knew the Importance and practica- bility of irrigation and at once after my election began working to bring about a compromise between the two factions into which the friends of this great enterprise were divided. One of these factions wanted the general government to defray the ex- pense of bullding the reservoirs and canals and to have general management of all the detalls of the undertaking; the other wanted the money to be disbursed by the states, each state to have control of the work within its own territory. “In May a year ago 1 arranged for a meeting of western senators and congress- men and submitted to them a plan which was afterward accepted. It was, in brief, that the general government conmstruct the reservoirs and canals and retain ownership of them, but that the water be distributed under the state laws. The irrigation bill, which has just become a law, 18 drawn up along this line and embodies virtually all the ideas I advanced at the meeting. It s #ald by old members of congress who have examined ‘it that a more complete bill never came up for their consideration. Probable Effect of Law. “The effect of this irrigation legislation is already being seen in the greatly in- creased number of people who are looking to the west for homes instead of golng to Canada, as the tendency was a year ago. It is too early yet to say just when and where the first reservoirs and canals will be bullt, but there is no reason why some- thing tangible in this line should not be done within the next twelve months, since there is, or will be, plenty of money avail- able for the purpose. The revenue for the enterprise will be derived from the sale of public lands and between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000 already awalts disbursement. “It s an interesting fact that all eastern senators and congressmen, without an ex- ception, opposed this irrigation bill at the start, and some fought it to the end. It is an evidence that the east is jealous of the west. Congressman Grosvenor eaid it was a rallroad scheme, to enhance the value of railroad land, forgetting, evi- dently, that every alternate section In these great public domains belongs to the government, and that the railroad land could not be improved without improving the government land.” ANOTHER EXCURSION TO OKOBOJI ay, July 12, Via the Milwaukee Railway.

SURFACE GOES DOWN ABOUT THIRTY FEET All Trains To and From Bridge Must Run Over Burlington Tracks— Two Hundred Men Re- pairing Damage. A caye-in of the Union Pacific roadbed at the west end of the company's Missour! river bridge yesterday displaced about 14,000 cublc feet of embankment, and tem- porarily destroyed three tracks, making it necessary for irains entering the depot yards to pass over the freight tracks or those of the Burlington to the scuth and ba;k into the Union Statfon from the west end. The displacement covers an area of prob- ably 420 feet in length and thirty feet wide d the surface of the embankment about thirty feet. Fortunately no trains were on the tracks at the time and consequently no damage outside of that done to the trackage was felt. The roadbed, which was bullt on a filling, ‘Was composed of sand, topped with gravel, and it seems to have simply sunk into the earth, It is over the old artesian well and the scene of a similar accident four years 8go. The beglnning of the depression is about 100 feet west of the west end of the . It takés off the north side of the embankment and extends south within a few feet of the Burlington tracks, which are thought, however, not to be endangered The three eets of tracks were curved and twisted by the collapse, but in most places the ralls etayed with the ties, both going down to the depth of thirty feet together. Col d Early in Moraing. The depression was first noticeable dur- ing Sunday afternoon, but the real collapse 4id not occur until seme time in the early morning. It is thought that there is some soapstone in the compositon of the roadbed and that this, togetber with the faot that bed w 4 exactly over the old arte- sian well, started the cave-in, which was helped along by the heavy raine. There is B0 great mass of earth such as might’ be Jooked for on the side of the trackway, but Alling seeme to have dropped into the Aitting into a depression. ¥ ithin a few hours after the accident known & crew of about 200 men was )| Bt to work making repairs and it is esti- that three or four days will be con- L in the embankment and work, bringing dirt from Summit. 1t will some time for the before the trains can In the meantime a cut- thrown in will be the affair is that switchmen being value ever offered in women’s low cut shoes.
