APPROVES DEATH BENEFIT Plumbers’ International Union Begins Re- vision of Constitution. APPROPRIATION FOR DAYTON LOCKOUT Will Be Sent to the Ohio City to Assist the Co-Operative Shop There. A delegate to the meeting of the United Association of Journeymen Plumbers, Gas and Steam Fitters and Steam Fitters' Help- ers declared yesterday afternoon's session of the convention to have been as impor- tant as any session in the United associa- tion's history. This because it was then voted to approve the death benefit clause of the revised constitution drawn up by the natlonalization committee appointed at Buffalo, cnd also to send $10,000 to the Jocked out Dayton loeal union to assist in maintaining its co-operative shop and car- rying its bard fight. The nationalization profect was debated in a neral way through five earnest hours and then taken up section by sec- tion, with only the first section voted om. This reads: Section 1. On proof of death of any mem- ber who ehall have been six months con- tinuously in good standing a benefit of $100 shall be paid to their legal heirs or Tepresentatives, and should none exist at demise of sald ‘member the benefit shall be expended as the local union may direct. An Opening Wedge. This is doubly important, because, It Is said, it Is the opening wedge that will make way for the sick, strike and su- perannuated benefita, which are provided for in sections to be taken up today, and ‘which read: Bec. 2. Members afflicted with chronic dis- eases or over 60 years of age shall be en- titled 10 ‘One-half benefit only. This sec- tion shall not apply to those aiready mem- T8, Bec. 3. When becomirg a member of united association esch member shall d. le _the person to whom the aforesaid eficlary mnnn{, shall be pald, and upon blanks furnished by the secretary-treasurer to local unions. But In se any member shall fafl to so designate by will or other- Wwise to whom saild sum shall be paid the sum above mentioned ehall be paid tc the heirs-at-law. Sec. 4. No sick or death benefits shall be nted to any member, when the perform- ance of military duties fs the cause of sick- mil or_death. 6. The general secretary-treasurer #hall publish the names, age and cause of death of the members ‘'who died, and on whose account the death benefit has been pald, together with the amount pald. Sec. & Uvon the death of ‘any member entitied to death benefit the secretary of the local union shall at once notify the general secretary-treasurer, giving a full of the membership of such member. a8 far as can be obtained from the books of such local union. The general secretary- treasurer shall compare such record with the records of the international office and notify the local union of his findings, and no local union shall be permitted to pay guch benerlt, without the record being thenticated by the general secretary-tre urer. Any local unlon violating this sec. tion’ shall’ be held Mable for any amount t may have pald over and above the amount the united assoefation records show eased member to be entitled to. Sick Benefits, Sec. 7. Every member who shall have been for not less than one year continu- ously a contributing member of the united assoclation, and who is not under any of the restrictions specified in these laws, shall be en , should such member beco: sick or disabled in such manner der such member unable to att usual avocations, to h sum of per out of the funds' of the united assoctation: ro such sickness or inability shall beén for at least one week and + m) ce, debauchery or other immoral cond, °l'.':&"l° no member shall be entitied a t for &'longer period than rteen in any one year, whether it been_continuous’ or .n-rlod{:-l: but no member leaving the Unfted States or the Dominion of, Canada shall be entitied to It ce. Uniform du s absen or receipta for sick benefit shall be issued free to local unions by the general secretary-treasurer. The debate on these sections and tho other less important sections of the re- vised plan will occupy most of today, the delegates proteeding slowly bect the change is so radical that some of them are doubtful about their instructions from the home locals covering the case. Banquet for Tomight. To it they are to banquet at the Del- lone, their headquarters, at 9 o'clock, a feast haying been ordered by the local union. All delegates and the members of the local union are to be present and in addition the master plumbers have also been invited. Two hundred and Afty plates are provided. Last night the only diver- slon was a trolley ride. Friday night there is to be a smoker Labor Temple and Saturday, if the delegates finish in time, there may be a base ball game between them and the members of the local.

WRITES LETTER TO SAVAGE Central Labor Union Directs a M sive to the Governor on His Poliey. The committee of the Central Labor union, charged with preparing a letter to Governor Savage in reply to his communica- tion to the Plumbers’ union regarding the appointment of the acting Board of Fir and Police Commissioners, yesterday in- dited the following letter, which was malled to the governor: OMAHA, Aug. 20.—Hon, Ezra P, Savage, Governor of Nebraska: Sir—In compliance With instructions from the Central Labor union, ‘we, the undersigned committee, present o' you the following communica. toin expressive of the sentiments of organ- iged labor as represented in and through this central body, and which is given as a reply to the exceedingly indirect, yet posi- tively insulting, communication’ of yours dated at Lincoin, August 8 and which was directed to the Plumbers' local union, as a reply to its letter of August 5, and the an- imus of which can ieave no doubt other than that it was intended—which it in re- ality s—an uncalled for, insulting arraign- ent of organized labor.

LIBRARY BOARD IS READY FOR MONEY Loeal Packers and Butchers Say They Know Nothing of the Pro- for an In- crease of Wages. posed De: German Lutherans in South Omaba are divided and a new church is about to be constructed, The trouble all comes from the fact that Rev. M. Adam, pastor of tha Zion German Lutheran church refused to permit the members of Modern Woodmen of America No. 1095 to participate in any manner in the funeral services of John Ackerman. It wi stated yesterday by Germans that another church would be buflt and that a new pastor would be sent for from the east and that in this church fraternal socleties would be recognized. All Lutherans who belong to fraternal socleties in South Omaha have banded themselves together for the purpose of builling a church and placing the con- trol of it under the Illinols synod. About 400 German Lutherans have so far agreed to do this. All of those who have signed this call are members of fraternal socie- ties. It appears that the Missourl synod of which Rev. Adam i a member, does n recognize secret socleties and the Illinois synod does With the 400 members promised the pro- posed new church will doubtiess get along nicely. The present Zion church under Rev. Adam has a membership of about elghty. It is understood that arrangements aro to be made at once to erect a church here which will permit of members of fra- ternal societies being given the services of eecret orders when death comes. A dele- gation of German Lutherans will proceed to the headquarters of the Illinois synod shortly, so it is stated, to make arrange- ments for the erection of a church here and the Installation of a pastor. IAbrary Board Meetl; President Bruce McCulloch of the South Omaha Library board sald last evening that there had been a session of the board during the afternoon and that a notice would be prepared at once to send to Mr. James Buchanan, private secretary to Mr. Andrew Carnegle, at No. 6 West street, New York City, to the effect that the city of South Omaha had purchased a site for the proposed Carnegie library. The re- mittance of 350,000 to erect the bullding 1s looked for within a short time after the notice of the purchase of the site is re- celved. ans for the proposed bullding were also discussed and the matter of a change of grade came up, but no action of im- portance was taken. It is desired by the board that the grade be lowered, but prop- erty owners south objeét to the change and demand damages. It was practically agreed that if the owners of property who obfect to the erection of the library on the site purchased insisted upon dam- ages on account of a change of grade that the money would be raised by popu- lar subscription. Members of the assocla- tion do not - think that there will be any dificuity in doing this. Packers Say Noth Managers of the South Omaha packing bouses assert that they know nothing about the proposed demand to be made by the butchers for an increase in wages. They further say that if any demand for a change in the present scale is to be asked for the demand will be made at the headquarters of the big comcerns In Chi- cago. One official of one of thé packing compa- nles admitted that he was aware of a pending request for an advance in wages, but this is nothing new, the butchers have been claiming right along that when the heavy fall runs commenced there would be a, demand for an increase. As for the butchers themselves they have nothing to say, all business for the Amalgamated union is transacted from the headquarters In Chicago. Board Suggests Improvemens. Members of the Board of Health propose to insist that the running of sewage into the gutter on the east side of Twenty- fourth street, south of Q street, be dis- continued. Dr. Bapp, city physician, said last night that se 1 e of typhold fever had been reported from that locality recently and he proposed to do all he could, with the consent of the mayor and council, to stop the throwing of ref and the running of sewage into the gutter. A movement is now on foot to have & sewer constructed for the houses In this locality, and If this is done the nuisance a8 it now exists will be abated. Inquest Fostponed. Coroner Bralley was compelled yester- day to postpone the taking of testimony in the case of Charles Starr, the lad run over by a Union Pacific train a day or two ago. A couple of witnesses were examined, but mo decision reached, as it was desired by the jury that the cause of the accident be further investigated. Another session will be heid today, when it 1s expected that additional witnesses will be present to give testimony. Peter Jacobs, Peter Jacobs. who was killed Wednesday morniog lu Councll Bluffs, had been & sident of South Omaha for a number of years, but went to Council Bluffs about #ix weeks ago to work for the Omaha and Council Bluffs Bridge Line company, He carried an insurance policy in the local ‘Woodmen lodge for $2,000. As far as could be ascertained yesterday he had mo tives in this from his wife, who is expected here from the east today. . City Treasurer Howe s still pounding y &t the personal tax list. Only yes- terday he completed the task of sending out about 1,000 postal cards notifying de- linquents that personal taxes must be pald.

That Huster's ragtime concerts possess the melodious charms that draw the sum- mer resort patron was evidenced at Krug park last night by as large and representa- tive an audience as has attended on & week day this season. When the concert started the scene of animation and happy enthusi- asm was tempered by the catchy and lively coon melodies.

Mr. Morgan declined to be Interviewed, saying he bad nothing to give out for publication. Bishop Potter said he had a delightful trip abroad, but was glad to get home. “I am surprised and sadly disappointed to find the coal strike still unsettled,” he continued. “It is certainly too bad that it has not been settled long since. I supposed | it was all over and the news of its con- tinuation, which greets me here, is the | one dark spot on a most joyous home com- | ing. The anthracite coal operators have | all along maintained a false position.

Clement A. Griscom sald: “I do mot | know when the steamship combine will be | incorporated.
