The wordy battle ensued between two men who were unloading a Swarts & Hirsch wagon containing potatoes for the Lincoln Inn in the basement of the bank bullding. The elevator stopped in the very middle of the shaft and the two men disagreed whether they should start the car up or down. While they argued the matter scores of pedestrians orowded around the guard ralling In the hope of an approaching fight, with the result that traffic along the north side of Far- nam at that particular spot was confined to the street for about twenty m'nutes. City Recognizes Union Musicians By a vote of four to three the city council committee of the whole recom- mended for adoption a resolution, the ef- fect of which will be recognition of union musicians by the city. Mayor Dshiman and Commissioners Kugel, Withnell and Butler voted in the affirmative; Jardine, Drexel and Hum- mel in the negative. The situation dates back to last summer when the council decided to show equal recognition to union and nonunjon bands playing in the public parks. As a result of that action the musiclans declared the Auditorium on the “unfalr’” list when It was taken over by th To restore the Auditorium to the fair list the musi- | clans demanded complete recognition of the union by the city, which demand has been conceded.

No Change in the Birth of a Nation Injunction Case District Judge Redick, who declineg to Issue an order rstraining the showing f thé film, “The Birth of a Natlon,” at the Brandels theater, previous to its first BD—' pearance Sunday evening, sald that there ‘was no change In the legal status of the plotures. ' Omaha negroes have not renewed thelr | petition that the showing of the film be enjoined, on the ground that race prejudice will be increased in Omaha. In the event a restraining order should bo granted which should not be sus- tained by the courts after subsequent hearings the plaintiffs would ‘be llable in damages for loss of profits caused by stopping the showing of the film, and a bond adequate to cover such damages would be required by law before the reetraining order would be*binding.
