McKelvie, who ar rived here to-day, issued @ statomen @eploring the riot amd declaring thay ‘ane who ‘s acquainted with tons in Omahi months could not be very muoh sur prised at what has happened.” “It has been a matter of every’da oecurrence,”” tho statement continued “that those who have most to do with} the moulding of public opinion have constantly engaged in petty bicker- ings and criticism of the local officials, Which could not result in any bu ‘utter disrespect of the law.

Reports from the hospital where Mayor Waward Smith is confined as result of the injuries inflicted by the mob were that his condition was improving. The authorities fear fires may be started by either side, and to guard against it have lookouts in the basket of an observation balloon from For. Omaha constantly floating over the district. All arms have been ordered turned in by the military officers in control, but few have been surrendered. Every person on the streets is kept moving and the police have appealed to every one who possibly can to keep indoors at night. While business men, for the most part, condemn the affair, hundreds of working mon, clerks, and even girls and women openly applaud the lynching and boast of the part they took. Stenographers, elevator women and other working girls laugh ana joke with the men about their ex- periences with the mob. “Something had to be done to make this town safe for white girls,” was those the substance of many feminine ex- pressions, “We are giad the negro |s killed, We are sorry the Court House Try, tomorrow, the loaf that is WARD'S MOTHER HUBBA matter how thin you cut a post card or telephone call to u BRONX BAKERY . it was announced by R.

Therefore they are slipping back, be- cause they cannot go forward under the restrictions placed upon them in the Pittsburgh district, where agita- tion, the life of a strike, is absolutely smothered by law and armed officers and soldiers, If Foster and the A. F. of L. are to compel the Steel Corpor- ation to recognize the union, which point is their main bone of contention, they must bring to bear other influ- ence than that they have exercised this far, The United States Steel Corpora- tion has Jost a tot of money sinoe Sept by inability to produce steel in many plants, but the Steel Cor- poration can afford the loss, because the cash surplus on hand is tremen- dous, The demand for steel is in- creasing and in time the production will be resumed and the steel will be sold and the money will be ob- tained, But what about the strikers?

A background of grimy mills hing smoke, many simply smokeless stacks.

They have been out of work eight days. CAN STRIKERS AFFORD TO LOSE $14,400,000 IN EIGHT DAYS? Statistics show that the average pay of the workmen in the steel industry in $6 a day. This loss in wages has been about $1,800,000, over $1,000,000 a day, or $14,400,000 for the eight days of the strike, In three days more the workmen will have lost in wages close to $20,000,000, the amount John Rocke- feller gave away a few days ago to promote medical research. Rockefeller doesn't feel the loss of that $20,000,000. He doesn't have to figure his finances on the basis of $6 a day. ‘The labor leaders profess to be satis- fied with the situation. They couldn't very well make any other sort of pro- feasion at this time. The steel opera- tors are satisfied, because they figure that the corner has been turned in the strike; furthermore, declare they don’t care very much what is in prospect because they can close down their mills unless some outside power, such as the Federal Government, steps in and compels them to operate with union men, Undoubtedly the leaders of the strike will get busy from now on in an effort to get certain classes of skilled workmen, essential to the operation of the’ mills, to join the ranks of the strikers, Contemplating this outlook, the steel magnates are calm, for their extreme step is to close the mills completely and de- prive the country of steel products until the men get ready to return to work. Foster and the other strike leaders are anxious for the Kenyon commit- tee of the Senate to visit Pittsburgh, They say they can show the com- mittee that the strike is justifiable. There is an impression among labor leaders that the Senate, by starting an investigation of the strike, has figuratively put itself into a hole FOE OF GOVERNMENT COUNTS ON IT TO WIN STRIKE. The national election is only @ year away. All politicians have their vision fastened on November, 1920. An army of 300,000 men, com- manding the sympathy of hundreds of thousands of union members in the United States, is a force to be reckoned with, Foster, whose writing shows him to be opposed to the gov- ernment of the United States, 1s now secretly hoping that this eame gev- ernment will win his strike for him, week.

BAER Near the City of Neenagh, in the State of Wisconsin, on a point of land separating the Fox River from Lake Winnebago, stood an old giant elm, commonly called “the old council tree.” It was under its spreading branches that the chiefs of every tribe gathered to hold their council of war and, later, made treaties with the white men. Tradition tells us that treaties made under “the old council tree’ were held to be inviolate, never being broken, and the huge old elm became known thru the great Northwest as an emblem of character, strength and integrity. I was reminded of this story when recently I was introduced to Mrs. A— after a funeral service at The Funeral Church, Broadway and 66th Street. “T have known Mr. Campbell, the founder-proprietor of this Institution, for more than twenty-five years please, do not ask me how old I am,’’ she added, smilingly. “T have seen his place grow from a small institution on Twenty-third Street, from where my grandmother was buried, to the splendid edifice at Broadway and 66th Street, from where my dear mother was carried to her last resting place, “And when my call shall come, 1 too shall be buried from Campbell’s Funeral Churzh—and I have been care- ful enough to mencion this in my last will. “How similar are ‘the old council tree’ and Frank E, Campbell,” I thought. ‘Both have developed from a small seed into a large, powerful factor.”’ For no institution will endure without them, no individual will stand the test of man and time unless he possesses them, and no familv will trust their dear departed from generation to generation to one man, he is like the old elm, an emblem of character, eal and integrity.
