ROADS WILL ATTACK F~NEW LAW IN GOURT Proposed Adamson Act Will Crumble at First Legal Blast Say Attorneys. BILL IS PATENTLY VOID Chicago, Sept. 1.—Counsel for the | Ma various railroads are said to have in- formed the presidents of the roads that the Adamson bill is patently un. constitutional as being confiscatory and class legislation. E. P. Ripley, president of the At- chison, Topeka & Santa Fe, said to- day that passage of the bill would merely postpone the strike. “Our lawyers,” said Mr. Ripley, “in- formally and individually have ex- pressed the opinion that the Adamson bill, if passed, will crumble at the first legal blast. If the bill passes, the presidents and counsel will con- fer formally as to legal procedure. It is illogical to assume that the rail- voads will abandon their principles merely because they are attacked through congress instead of directly w the brotherhoods.” R. H. Aishton, president of the Chi- cago & Northwestern, said the rail- roads would obey the law. ut,” he added, “it seems certain to us that the Adamson bill, if passed, will not stand the test of the courts.” Strike Preparations Proceed. A statement was issued at publicity headquartefi of the railroads that pre- parations for a strike next Monday were proceeding without regard to prospects of congressional action. Officials of the four railroad broth- erhoods began massing their forces here today to direct the strike on twenty-five roads operating out of Chicago in the event the strike goes into effect. 3 W. B. Henrichs, superintendent of terminals of the éhlcaxo. Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, announced today that the Brotherhood of Railway Con- ductors on the section of that sys- tem between Chicago and the Mis- souri-river had voted not to strike. Food prices in this city, with a few exceptions, have not been ‘materially affected as a result of threatened tie- ups of the transportation facilities of the country. Potatoes sold on the market today at $2.25, the highest price in many years, and poultry was up 2 cents a pound. n a number of the larger cities, meetings of officials have been called for today to consider means of check- ing the increase in the price of food stuffs, Statement by Railroads. The text of the railroads’ state- ment says: ! “The managements of the railways are disregarding reports from Wash- ington regarding the possibility of the strike being prevented and are proceeding exactly as they would if they were certain that it was going to occur on scheduled time at 7 o‘cfock on the morning of September 4. “It will be recalled that for about eight months the railway manage- ments have been warning the gov- ernment and the people of the United States that the danger of a nation- wide strike was real and serious. On the other hand, soothing assurances have throughout this time been given by officers of the United States gov- ernment, and even by spokesmen of the labor brotherhoods. The public now knows the railways were right in saying the danger was real and serious and the spokesmen of the government, who attempted to mini- mize the gravity of the situation, were wrong. “The leaders of the railway broth- erhoods are playing a desperate game and, as they say now that they will not recall their strike order until they bhwring from congresn the legislation y._demand. For anybody to act on the assumption that there will be no strike would be foolish and might prove to be extremely unfortunate. Reasons for Embargoes. “The orders which the manage- ments. of the railways have issued placing - embargoes on the shipments of most kinds ‘of freight and direct- ing that other kinds of freight shall be accepted subject to delay are rap- idly going into effect, and shippers, consignees and the public are begin- ning to feel the results of the strike without it having actually occurred. 1t should be fully recognized, how- ever, that the railroads in taking these *steps’are not merely protecting their own interests, but that in a larger measure they are protecting the in- terests of the public, and that if they are causing inconvenience and loss to the public they are causing greater probortionate loss and inconveniance to themselves. “If the strike occurs it will be much better for all concerned for goods which in the absence of embargoes would -be shipped to be left in the hands of their owners, where they can properly care for them, than for them to be in the hands of the railways, which probably could not properly care for them. . Warnings Are Repeated. “It is hoped that travelers as well as shippers will act on the warning of the railways and not start upon journeys which cannot be finished before the strike order goes into ef- fect. “The railways believe that in stand- ing out for arbitration even at the cost of a strike they have been try- ing to protect not only their own in- ierests, but those of the public. “In view of the expressions of the press, of commercial organizations and many thousands of industries throughout the United States the railways are confirmed in the belief that the public wanted them to stand firm and they believe they would vi- olate their duty to all concerned by adopting any other course. Appeal for Protection. “It will be the policy of the rail- ways,” the statement continues, “to give the public all -information con- cerning the situation which will not embarrass them in handling the strike, should it occur, “It is clearly to the interest of the public that if a strike comes the rail- ¢ ways shall be.able to maintain a con- siderable part of their service from the start, and that they shall be able steadily and rapidly to increase it. “How much service they will be ble to maintain, and how rapidly hey will be able to increase it, will necessarily depend upon the protec- tion given their employes and prop- erty by the police authorities. It is OMAHA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1916. How Entrance of Roumania Affects War This map shows what effect the entrance of Roumania into the great struggle will have on the war. As indicated by the arrows, Roumania will attack Austria on the north and Bulgaria on the south, At the same time Roumanis will be able to strike Bulgaria and possibly Turkey from the rear. Russia will also be able to cross the narrow strip of Roumanian territory shown at the top of the map and thus strike & new blow at Austria. The series of crosses at the bottom of the map indicate the present battle line in Away With His Hard Work Stories “Tom” Flynn, United States mar- shal, is a mighty hard-working man— if you swallow ail that he tells you, He has returned from his brother- in-law’s farm at LeMars, Ia, where he and his family spent ten days. And he brought back some kodak pictures which he exhibited to visitors in his office. “Here I am unloading wheat,” said the marshal, passing out a picture showing a farm wagon beside the door of a granary and a man in over- alls working vigorously with a scoop shovel. . The next picture showed a thresh- ing outfit at work. i “That's me up there stacking the straw,” the marshal remarked, indi- cating a tiny human figure toiling on top of the straw stack. _“Gosh, you're some worker, right,” declared one visitor. “Y’bet. Does a man good to do that hard work,” said the marshal easily. B He displayed other views of farm activity, on each of which he indi- cated some unrecognizable figure in all | to be assumed that while the railways are putting forth every effort to deal with the governmental bodies, and especially those of the municipalities, they will also be making ample prep- arations to .protect: railway employes and property from every form of in- terference and violence.” Students at Omaha Uni. Work on New Building Although lugging mortar and the very thick of the toil and care- lessly remarked: “That's me.” “Gee, ain'tcha all sore—muscles all stiff?” the admiring visitor asked. “Oh, no, I don’t mind a little work like this,” the marshal declared, mov- ing his fist up and down to indicate unlimited .strength, vim, vigor and energy. “But your hands are all full o blisters, though.” “Oh, no,” the marshal answered. But the visitor wanted to see. The marshal didn't want him to see. And then the marshal tumbled from his high pedestal. He was unmasked and all his hollow pretensions of indus- try, energy and all that were laid bare. ] It is reported on unimpeachable au- thority that the marshal, while on the farm, deposited himself every morn- ing beneath a large shade treé, where he spent the days in smoking and sleeping alternately, undisturbed by the rattle of the threshing machine. The only thing that could rouse him was the sound of the dinner bell and he gained the distinction of being al- | ways the first at the table. Frank Moore Assigned To Recruiting Work Here Frank P. Modre, 3424 South Fif- teenth, has secured approval of his application to be assigned to recruit- ing duty in Omaha for the navy and has re-enlisted. ,He served two en- listments before and is a chief ma- chinist’s mate. He will relieve J, F. Stauffer, who is ordered back to sea October 24. The order will allow Moore to live at home and be in the navy at the same time for two years, RUSSIA A rret is Called to the White House by Wilson Washington, D. C,, Sept. 1.—A. B. Garretson, spokesman for the railroad brotherhoods, held a brief conference with President Wilson today. When he left the White House he refused absolutely to say why he had called. The president kept the cabinet wait- ing while he talked with Mr. Gar- retson. White House officials said Mr. Gar- retson had called to give the presi- dent “some information,” Mr. | getson refused to say whether he dis- cussed the calling off of the strike. There was every indication, however, that the administration expected the strike to be called off before Sunday morning. | Fanning Signs His Name ‘ Fifteen Hundred Times Postmaster C, E.

It be- gan by swelling, with severe pains day and night, followed by constant itching. My leg then became inflamed, and later water blis- ters and pimply sores broke out on it. At this time my leg was at least one-third above its normal size, and the continual itch- ing and burning sensation was something terrible. 1 applied many remedies, but gain- ed no relief until I commenced using Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap, from which I obtained relief by the first application. After a continued use of Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap the swelling was reduced, the itching and burning were entirely relieved and a complete cure was effected, having used only three jars of Resino] Ointment and two cakes of Resinol Soap. My trouble sure was serious and I consider the cure re- markable.” (Signed) Mrs. H. W. Neefus, 825 Pearson St., Greensboro, N, C. All druggists sell Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap.
