Dignified and Gentlemanly Preseuta tion of Arguments Heard by Many.- Affairs of big moment to the sti Ik erg on the Harriman and Illinois Cen. tral railroad lines were discussed in an Informal manner last night at thej Steward opera house when a strik-t' meeting: attended by about 400 men and women heard Joe P. Ryan of Kansas City propound strike issues from the viewpoint of an international ; official of the Boiler Makers' union The principal address was prefaced by prayer by Rev. Upton H. Olbbs and throughout the entire meeting thor was a prevailing spirit of dignity arid reverence for the many ladies In the audience. 'At no time did Mr. Ryan become Invective and the audience was well pleased with his gentlemanly al titude at all times. Lecture Lacks Interest. Only a few phases of general Inter est to the unbiased public were dis cussed. Ignoring completely that mo mentuous epoch In labor annalfj th. McNamara confessions and falling to touch upon conditions as they are seen from the angle of the strikers in Ore gon and other westem cities, Mn Ryan failed to elucidate on what most of the audience wanted to hear recited ELECTION NOTICE.

" i All tb time that the shopmen were worked on short hours, lap shift and no overtime, the Harriman line was double tracking Us lines to the coaati to handle the 1913 exposition crowds; waa building an enormous office bulld Jng 'n Omaba and to swell Its Improve ment funds retrenched along certain lines but got most of Ha cash for this .work by making "goats" out of the shopmen and cutting their wages to the very quick.
