T r, V . ' ' "" ' " .... : ! : . . I The time to see the beautiful Christmas goods J is before Christmas throngs become impassible. WfiLjCan I Get In a Picture i For a small 'sym? We never saw such good things at .such little prices. Some of the cheapest arc really the most art istic. , At SOc-Vyhink you will pronounce these the gr&test bargain in a picture you ever saw. Our first order for 100 was closed out at once. A new shipment con tains 16 different subjects, most of them in dainty colored landscapes. They are 15J4 by IV inches in neat gilt frames with glass at Only 50c. Anyone who has had pictures framed to order will wonder how these can cost so little. . At 30c to $1.50 These are carbons, richly colored -prints, two-toned poster effects etc. .They include as subjects, brilliant skies, soft waters, homely work ing scenes, Dutch babies, Oriental fig ures, Venetian scenes, monks, animals, etc. These are framed in deep brown woodeii frames, plain or combined with gilt. At $1.60 Pretty Dutch children, hand colored and framed in black windmills; that is, the fans of the mill form the top, and the body of the mill its sides. i i Mew Christmas Aprons Choice List of Children's Boo This line of books la excellent In every par ticular excellent authors, bindlne. paper and print volumes that make valuable additions to any child's library.

Metal Coin Purses-oc, 50c Mrs. Waite and will be. as usual, a splendid affair. Mr. Waite is the effi cient superintendent of The Common er's subscription, department. Roy Bixby'has been given charge ot the "labor department" of the Sun day Star, which means that organized labor will profit by having, a warm friend looking after that part of the. paper. This is the time of year when water pipes freeze and the plumbing gets out of whack. Do not forget that there is still a Plumbers' Union in the city and refuse to give your work to the shops that employ "scab" plumbers. The Millworkers' - Union of Minne apolis is appealing for the . mora! support of all union men and women in the fight against the unfair Washburn-Crosby Milling Co. All flour bearing the name "Washburn-Crosby" is unfair and should have no place in the heme of a union man. Frank Cunningham, president of the Rural Delivery association, has been discharged for offensive political ac tion. He had the nerve' to ask- con gressmen to help the carriers get bet ter pay. The corporation lobbyists who hang around Washington and beg congress for bigger grafts have not been disturbed. Organizer Bush of the Leatherwork- ers informs The Wageworker that the threatened trouble in Chicago has been averted by the employers and employes getting together in a friend ly spirit and talking the matter over. The men made some concessions but secured most of the things for which they contested. The' difficulty arose over the agreement respecting the number of 'apprentices. The claim of the manufacturers, Parry stripe, that they are actuated by patriotic motives in. standing upon the open shop proposition and in de fense of the right of th-5 non-union- isi to work for a living union or no r.nion is pure subterfuge and an after thought put forward to capture public opinion. The open .shop means non union shop and the employers of the foregoing' stripe know it full well. Cigarmakers' Journal.

Work on the new postoffice building has been suspended and will probably not be resumed before spring. The Wodruff-Collins printery is at work on a second edition of W. J. Bryan's book, "Under Other Flags." The Hod Carriers' and Builuins laborers' Union has adopted a new scale, which may be found elsewhere in this issue. The cold weather has at last struck Lincoln and as a result there is a lull in building operations, although they are not entirely suspended. Carpenters' hall is rapidly becoming the rendezvous for ' the labor unions of the city. Typographical Union, No. 209 Is the latest to bceomn a tenant of the Carpenters. The Electrical Workers are prepar ing for their annual ball, which will be given early in the new year, and It Is their intention to make it the best one they have ever had. Every unionist in Lincoln should in sist that the roan who delivers hi3 coal show a Teamsters' card. Thi3 is one way to help an affiliated union build up lt3 membership and improve its condition. The Barbers' Union now has a card in practically every shop ir the city. The barbers have been doing some val uable work along union line3 and their efforts are appreciated by the other unions of the city. The announcement that a new build ing will be erected at the corner of Thirteenth and O streets next spring, and that the Burlington city ticket office will be located therein, is good news to the building trades. It means a lot of work along east O street. State Superintendent Fowler is righteously indignant at the horribly poor work done by a sweat shop printery on his annual report. As a sample of "botch work" it takes the cake. If the work had been done In i union printery it would have been well done and the state a financial gainer thereby. For Union Made Shoes go to Rogers & Pir!;ins. One-half off on all hats and fancy feathers. Sadie Puckett, 124 So. 12th. When a teamster delivers your coal, make him show his card or haul the coal back. We have a large stock of Uaian Made Shoes and we want your trade, llogers &; Perkins Co. When you have any news ttia'. will interest union men and women, call autophone 2277 and tell it. Ed. Faga.n thinks he is entitled t- the patronage of union men am! women. He carries cards in two unions. The Cooks and Waiters are prepar ing to have a social affair of their own, and purpose making itsomething w orth while. By the way, if your baker insists on using the Washburn-Crosby Milling Co's flour, try another baker. The 51 ill workers deserve our active help. Every union bar has a handsomo framed card hanging over the center of the mirror. Do not forget to look for it, and if it. is not there, go thirsty a while longer. When you patronize a Wage worker advertiser, say so to the advertiser, That's one way and one of the best ways of helping make The Wage worker a success. Sam Best is no longer on the water wagon. This statement must not be misunderstood. Sam is now cn a coal wagen, but figuratively speaking is still ou the "water wagon." iBiere is every reason why the state should insist on having the union label on all of its printing. The label will guarantee the state the worth of its money something it doe3 not now always get. Central Labor Union is about due to elect officers for the ensuing term, and considerable "log rolling" is being indulged in, all with the greatest good nature and with a view to increasing the effectiveness of the body.
