STRIKERS T0 MEET MR. BURT Oar Builders Appoint Gommittes to Osmfer with the President. MAY BE OPENING WEDGE TO SETTLEMENT Tratnmen Meet and Dectde to Act with Switchmen om Proposition te Maul No More Strike- Breakers. = Hu the t-nln. poInt fn the progress of the Unlon Pacific strike been reached? In response to a request from offclals of the company the car men strikers have Ramed a commiites to meet President Burt and General Manager Dickinson today and discuss posible terms of peace. It 18 thought by the -strikers that this move is intended for the opening wedge to spiit the diferences between the contending fae- tions and lead ultimately to & settiement of the prolonged stubbornly fought battle. Whatever the purpose of the officials may be in calling for this conference, it is mani- Zest, that if the strikers adhére to their avowed opppsition of plecework the battle will not be settied unless on terms fa- vorable to the trikers. This commitiee was appointed by the ear men to meet the officials: Jol president of the loeal carbuilders lodge; Willtam Brown, Robert Balley, Carr Ax. ford and J. B. Evans, secretary of the Jodge. The medting probably will be held this morning at the Union Pacific head- quarters, No Power to Aet. ‘This committes will' have no power to Act on any proposition the officials may make," sald Mr. Bvane. “It's function will end when it h recelved the uit of fhe conference and repcrted it to the car- Bullders en masse. Final action will be “taken by the lodge and not by the com- mittee. We had one experience of being. represented by a committes in conference with Union Pacific officials that had power to act for us and we do not want another. ‘Ot course we have no knowledge of what the cflicials will say to our committe or it any, will be proposed, but I will say this, that it the officlals propose to ettie this strike by continuing plecework they will fail. We are unalterably to that sysiem and no amount of iInfluence wi'l change our positions.” Ancther development In- strike affairs is pending. The train men bave been drawn into the arena of activities at last from present {ndications will extend their ¢o-op- eration to the strikers. Train Men Take Action.” A meeting of the train men was held yes- terday in Myrtle hall, and as was predicted by The Bee, a committ: was named to formulate & basis of action. This. will be done in conjunction with the swith men, whom the train men will meet tonight. The prime object, as has been stated, is to unite sgelnst hauling trains bearing nonunion shopmen ta take strikers’ pla and switeh men will canvass the situation thoroughly. From the sentiment expressed yesterday there is every indication that this action will be taken and if it fs, it may be counted on as clothing the strikers with more form- idable influcnces than they have possessed since the opening of the strike. They hold that it will give them absolute control of the situation, enabling them to tle up the operating department, which they hold to be the cnly vital ef 't necessary to win thelr fight. The train men have conferred, by wire] With tHel? matlonal leader, A, 8.

Inasmuch as there is not even a chance that the democrats can control the senate for four: years at least such men as Ben Cable of Ilinois, a recognized leader of great shrewdness, is of the opin- don that the alm of his assoclates should De to secure quality rather than quantity in democratic representation this fall. Cable’s plan is to put in nonilnation in every doubtful district a man who stands 1n the front rank as a man of integrity and Who at the same time, If elected, would 2dd to the strength of his party on the floor of the house, Unfortunately for the success of this wise plan the very best men are usually lacking in the necessary political pull to " secure party nominations, and the men who really prove to be great in the national legislature develop after serving a term or two, Hope to Defeat J One of the seats which the democratic congressional committee hope to capture from ‘the republicans is that now mfi- sented by M- F. Joy of Louls. The legislature of Missourl ‘“‘fixed” things In St. Louls 86 as to meke one district safely republican. . That is the . district repre- sented by Mr. Barthold, whose re-election | is conceded. Joy's bailllwick has been cut up 5o as to make it democratic, apparently, But Mr. Joy always makes the best fight when the odds agalnst him are greatest. He Is t easily knocked out and It is by no means sure that his seat is lost to the republicans. ‘Three republican members from New York, and’ probably four, who are very well known on the floor of the house, will mot be meed In the next congress, 1t is almost certain that President Roosevelt will appoint John 8. Sherman a judge on the United States district bench. In fact, assured Mr. Sherman's friends of his in- tention to do so before the vacancy, now existing, was created. But for this assur. mnce there would have been no vacaucy, be- ‘cause Speaker, Henderson withdrew his op- position to' tHe federal court bill and al. lowed it to pass only Upon assurstice made to him that.Mr. Sherman was to have the place. Wken the Albany legislature reappor- tioned the state last year It was deémed absolutely necessary to repub- loan control of the Albany district. To accomplish this three republican members, ‘Messrs.

Soon after be took the bath of office as president Mr. Roosevelt invited Mr. Littauer to actept the treasury portfollo upon the retirement of Secretary Gage. Subsequently, how- ever, Mr. Shaw was chosen for that po- sition and the first slight breach in the elose friendship between Mr. Roosevelt and HI Littauer was noted.

No Hope in t Whatever the South, . outcome may be of the contests in the doubtful districts of the northern states, It Is eertain that the re- publicans have no hope of ' gaining & sin- sle seat in the south. The comstitutional ¢hanges in many of the southern states have practically barred the negro from the polls. It s true that the educated men among the colored race still have the right of franchise, but this element is so small and insignificant as to cut no figure. The whites have soived the problem which has worried them ever since universal suf- frage was extended to the cx-slayes, and the whites control in the south as they have not done before since 1876. In the soutn up to the present time a white voter was a syncnymous term for ‘a democrat. Thero are those who see in the action of the constitutional conventions of Louisiana, Arkansas, North Carolina and the other states which have followed them the dawn of hope for the republican party in the south. The pbpulists are returning to the democratic party in every southern state, and it is absurd to suppose that one Pparty can continue to exist without opposi- tion. Naturally, with the fear of negro domination eliminated, white men may be expected to vote the republican ticket It they belleve in the platform and prin- cipals of the republican party. The south 18 In closer accord with the ‘polley of ex- pansion than New ‘Bugland appears to be at the present time. Mines and mills have taken the place of the cotton field and the corn pateh and the pollcy of free trade is as unpopular in Loulsiana and Alabama it {s in Pennsylvania. Still the new era has only dawned and there is not a rain- bow chaser in the emtire republican con- gressional committee who dresms that there is even a chance that the white votg of the south will split suficiently, for ix yoars, at least, to enable a republican to'win a contest In & s slonal district, OMAHA SUBURBS.

Within the last week or two several complaints have been filed in police court agalnst persons turning sewage into the gutters, and a general order has gome out from the health department for persons violating this rule to be arrested and brought before the polfce judge for a hearing. In addition to this there is a plan on foot to make an Inspection of wells in the’ business portion of the city, with a view to having the same closed and city water substituted. It has been asserted that some of the wells used in the older portion of the city are entirely unfit for use, and that steps should be taken by the health autborities to put a stop to the use of well water, When spoken to about this matter Mayor Koutsky said that he favored the closing of all unsanitary wells, but he would object to the closing of wells re- cently located. In fllustration he stated thdt a number of property owners had this summer erected dwellings near the center of the city and had, In addition to the city water, sunk wells. He therefore Geemed that it would be a hardship to cause the closing of these wells at this time. It s expected that samples of the water from the wells the city wishes to condemn will be taken and submitted to a chemist for analysis. When this report comes in the mayor and councll will be expected to take some action. School Board Tomight. o There will be a meeting of the Board of Education tonight and it may be that some improvements will be ordered. There is the painting contract, which is under conelderation, and then some more work to be dome. In addition to this some of the work ordered by the supply commit- tee will have to be approved. There Is, 80 It is asserted, to be investigation about some typewriters supposed to be missing from the board rooms since the time that Dr. Wolfe was superintendent of schools here. At this meeting it is ex- pected that Superintendent McLean will glve some more instructions about the opening of the schools, and possibly changes may be made in the assignment of teachers. - No Comncfl Tonight. There will be no session of the city councll tonight unless the mayor or a ma- jority of the members call for a special meeting. A couple of the members are out of the city and may remain for a week or more. The next meeting billed is for 1. ihis Is & ay iheie will probably be a postponement for a day and this will scarcely work a hard- ship, as the clerk sald last night (hat there was no special business to cothe up. Shacks Must Go, City officlals coincide with the opinion of the clty engineer that the number of shacks within the fire limits ought to be removed. The engineer and the chief of the fire department both called the at- tention of the council to this matter some time ago, but no action was taken at the time on account of the absence of City Attorney Murdock. It is presumed that Mr. Murdock will soon have a conferemce with the mayor and Chief Etter in relation to this matter and that an ordinance will be prepared giving the city engineer or some other official the right to remove or cause to be removed a dozen or more of old shacks now located in the business portion of the ecity.

The orders were that the southbound car should wait at the siding for the other. Motorman W. 8. Yandall falled to obey the order and the ciash came 400 yards beyond the siding. Yan- dall endeavored to jump, but was crushed in the telescoped cars and died. Motor- man C. D. Colden of the other car applied his airbrakes as soon as he saw the danger, the collision occurring on a curve, and then tried to jump, as did Linwood Fen- tress, son of R. B. Fentress, president of the Norfolk Cold Storage and Ice company. Both Colden and young Fentres were caught under the platform of the shore- bound car, which plled up on the sand, and were killed outright. Colden's head was almost torn from his body and both legs were cut off. The Fentress boy was crushed to death. Both cars were full of Sunday excur- slonists and few escaped Injuries. Help was telephoned for and physiclans and am- bulances were soon at the scene. In the meantime a large number of the hurt were taken to the city in private conveyances. ‘There is no complete list of the injured. Mr. R. P. Waller, a brother of Major L. W..T.
