30th, 1905, inclusive, with j
June 1st, 1905, via

Lincoln Typographical Union No. 209
met in special session last Sunday,
and the meeting was unusually large.
The executive committee had an-,
Eounced that it was ready to submit a
report of 6ome kind on the proposed
new scale, and if a printer was absent
it was because something was keeping
him. The report offered by the com
mittee was listened to with great in
terest, and then the real work of the
meeting began. The printers giappled
the situation with earnestness and
i,ood sense, and the result? are bound
io be satisfactory to all parties con
cerned. The regular March meeting
will be held next Sunday, and at that
time the new contract and scale will
undoubtedly be finally settled. ' As soon
as everything; is settled The. Wage
worker will endeavor to enlighten the
laboring public to the extent permitted
by the rules of the union.
Trouble started in-Kansas City last
week, and as a result about twenty
machines went dark. Both sides are
claiming to be in the right, and until
full particulars are learned The Wage
worker has no comment to make. But
the union men are standing out and
there is some tall hustling being done
for operators.
The man who is always so free to
talk about his willingness to "walk"
is always the man who has no wife and
babies who would be compelled to
walk with him.
During last Sunday's session the
name of the International vice presi
dent, Mr. Hayes of Minneapolis, was
mentioned and brought out a cheer.
This may be a straw.
The printing business is unusually
good at the present time, and capable
men have no difficulty in finding steady
employment.
No. 209 has about 98 members, and
of this number just eleven were pres
ent at the Allied Trades ball. Men
who haven't missed a day's work in
three years and averaged overtime
every week, refused to put up a dollar
for the ticket that meant the advertis
ing of the allied label.
Philadelphia is still keeping up the
fight, and at the same time causing the
international executive committee to
lose some sleep. Philadelphia is vital
to the international, and it deserves
more help than it is getting.
Frank O. Martin, superintendent of
the printing department of the Combe
Printing Co., St. Joseph, claims to be
the first man that ever pitched a curved
ball in a game.
President Lynch of the International
visited Washington, D. C, a few weeks
ago, and while there Columbia handed
him a package containing a fine roa3t
on the executive committee's attitude
towards Philadelphia.
Vice President Hayes was in Kansas
City last week, trying to ravel out the
snarl in that city.
THE BARBERS.
Robert Strain, treasurer of Lincoln
local and one of its delegates to the
Central Labor Union, was laid up last
week by an attack of grip. He is at
work again but is not feeling quite as
young as usual.
Charles Bowem has come off victor
in a little bout with sickness, but he
didn't escape without bearing some
marks of the tussle.
Just as soon as their attention was
called to it nearly every union barber
in the city sidetracked the shaving pa
per bearing the advertisement of a
non-union cigar. Since then an enter
prising manufacturer or' two of Lincoln
provided similar paper advertising
union made goods.
Most of the cigars sold in Lincoln
shops bear the label, and the prefer
ence is given to Lincoln made goods.
A. A. Callahan, who has been laid
up with a wounded leg, is able to be
around again, and believes he will soon
be able to return to work.
A big force of carpenters is at work
on the Lau job, and the indications for
plenty of work as soon as the build
ing season is fairly openea are unusu
ally good.
S. J. Kent ia keeping regular hours
at the hall, and carpenters desiring in
formation will find him there during
the hours announced in the union.
THE TEAMSTERS.
M. E. McKnight has been made bus
iness agent ot the Teamsters' Union
and has Opened an office in Carpenters'
hall, where he may be found and con
sulted on matter pertaining to the wel
fare of the local and its members.
Three or four union teamsters who
are behind in their dues, including one
ex-trustee of the union, have taken
employment under the Carter Trans
fer Cat. This transfer company is
TCA
proclaiming the "open shop,". and was'
selected by Mr. Gregory to deliver his
coal after he had refused to reinstate
the teamsters who struck. Mr. Car
ter told a representative cf The Wage
worker that he didn't care whether his
teamsters belonged to the union or
not; that he never asked a man wheth
er he was union, and did not care. He
refuses, however, to recognize the
union, and as a result no union men
in good standing are in bis employ at
the present time. He told Gregory's
teamsters they might go to work, but
they refused to a man. ,
' Business Agent McKnight has been
busy for a couple of weeks visiting
around town and explaining the objects
cf the union to the women. He reports
that as a result there is an increased
demand for a sight of the union card
before coal can be delivered, and this
is having a good effect on the employ
ment of union men. Mr. McKnight has
been treated courteously everywher
he visited.
Coal hauling has been slack during
the past week, but- the men are looking
forward to good work as soon as the
building and grading season opens up.
THOMAS SAYER.
Sudden Death of Son of One of Lincoln's
Best Known Union Printers.
The funeral of Thomas Sayer was
held at 3:30 Wednesday afternoon from
the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
J. G. Sayer, 1635 Vine street. The de
ceased died on a ranch near Merna,
Wyo., as the result of exposure. Two
weeks ago last Sunday, with the ther
mometer standing at about fifty de
grees below zero, the young man, while
crossing a spring on his brother's
ranch, fell through the ice. He was
drenched with the icy water and be
numbed, but was able to reach the
house, where he lived alone. Upon
arriving there he did not build a fire,
but got right into bed. No one knew
of his condition until the following
morning, when his brother's partner.
who liveO upon the same ranch, found
him and took him to his own house,
where everything was done for him
that could be done. In spite of all
the care that could be given, how
ever, blood poison set in and he lived
only until the following Friday.
The deceased was an industrious and
highly esteemed young man, who grew
from childhood to manhood in this
city. The funeral was largely attended.
Capital Auxiliary No. 11 of which the
deceased's mother is an active member,
was present, and Lincoln Typogra
phical Union was represented by com
rades of Mr. J. G. Sayer, who has been
a member of the union for many years.
The floral offerings were many. Mr.
and Mrs. Sayer have the sympathy of
a large number of friends in their af
fliction.
THE PREACHER MACHINIST.
He Is Working to Bring Ministers and
Mechanics into Closer Fellowship.
Rev. Charles S'telzle is a Presbyter
ian minister who is working in a field
that we hope will prove successful be
yond his highest expectations. He be
lieves (here should be more religion
among union men and more unionism
among the ministers of the church.
He is traveling over the country
preaching to employers, ministers and
union men. Having been a machin
ist before becoming a minister, he un
derstands the hopes, aspirations, am
bitions, trial3 and tribulations of the
toilers. He believes the church can
learn something from the union man
and the union man can learn some
thing from the church. .The Laborer
enjoyed a visit from him last Satur
day, because so many of his ideas co
icitfe exactly with- our own on the
labor problem. Mr. Stelzle is to be in
Omaha for ten days. Western Laborer.
WISE MR. CASSON.
He Gives Mr. Parry a Pointer on How
to Work up a ReptMation.
Herbert N. Casson, the preacner-
journalist, has studied the labor ques
tion as thoroughly, perhaps, as any
other man in the country. He is an
ardent unionist and urges every man
to join a labor union. He realizes that
unionism has come to stay, and be
lieves that its influence for good is
rapidly growing. Referring to the ef
forts of David M. Parry and his ilk to
destroy labor unions, Mr. Casson said:
"Before Mr. Pary undertook the task
of 'destroying labor unions he should
have undertaken the task of stopping
the grass from growing, of the clouds
from dropping rain, or the flowers from
following buds. When he comes to at
tack trades unions they may well say
to him: 'Got and get a reputation for
doing impossible things, and after you
have accomplished that we may think
it worth while to notice you.' "
W. D. FITZGERALD.
One of Lincoln's Progressive Merchants
Has Been Called to Long Home. ' "
W. D. Fitzgerald, head of the mer
cantile Arm known as the Fitzgerald
Dry Goods company, died at his home,
twentieth and D streets, last Monday.
The high esteem in which Mr. Fitzz
gerald was held as a citizen and a
business man was manifested in the
eulogistic words spoken by his busi
ness competitors when they heard of
his sudden death. Mr. Fitzgerald first
engaged in business in Lincoln four
teen years ago, beginning in a very
modest way, and by enterprise, sa
gacity and strict attention to details,
soon became one of the foremost mer
chants of the state. In all public works
he was a leader, and his aid could be
counted on when it was neoessary to
secure men who would work for the
betterment of Lincoln's business and
social conditions. As an employer he
had the respect and confidence of h!s
employes, and his death comes to them
a3 a personal bereavement. The fune
ral was held Thursday and was at
tended by a vast concourse of people.
In Mf. Fitzgerald's death Lincoln
loses a citizen who has done much for
the city, a business man who had as-
isted materially in making Lincoln
known far and near in the commercial
world, and an employer who had an
honest man's regard for the rights of
those who worked for wage.
ATTENTION, CARPENTERS!
Notice is hereby given to all mem
bers of Union No. 1055 that at the reg
ular meeting, Tuesday, March 7, the
raising of more funds, either by a
raise of dues or assessment will be
made a special order of business. All
postal cards sent to members by G. F.
uick, recording secretary, must be re
turned.
MINE ACCIDENT.
In an accident at the Virginia mine,
Birmingham, Ala., February 23, 101
miners were killed and many so se
riously injured that they have since
died. A relief fund for the widows and
orphans was started at once and now
reaches the sum of $35,000. People
who keep track of the mine accidents
of this country will cease to wonder
why miners are so active in unionism.
It is their only protection against mine
conditions that would increase their
already perilous hazard, and it affords
some measure of relief for their de
pendent families.
BURIED THEIR COMRADE.
The membership of Local No. 1055,
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, was recently called upon to
mourn the death of their fellow union
ist, John H. Hoffman. Mr. Hoffman
died on February 10. At a regular
meeting of the union recently resolu
tions of 3orrow were unanimously
adopted and ordered spread upon the
records of the local. The union was
largely represented at the funeral. Mr.
Hoffman was well liked by his fellow
unionists and his death not only re
moves a kind husband and father, but
deprives the union of a member whose
services were valuable.

cision ( Coert
The heirs of the late George Kleu
tsch ot Lincoln, through Sheriff Ress
of Lancaster county, are barred from
attempting to levy on the property of
the Security Mutual Life Insurance
company of Lincoln to satisfy a judg
ment of $6,060.90 secured lately in Hall
county by default. The action of the
Hall county tribunal is also set aside.
This decision was handed down by
Judge Cornish. It was claimed by the
defense that proper serviee was not
had in Hall county. One of its agents
hatl been served with a notice. of the
bringing of the suit, but he was not
an official of the company; thereby
tbe service was not of the right kind.
The suit grows out of a dispute over
the payment of a certain premium 'by
the deceased. It is claimed by the in
surance company that the policy had
lapsed, and that the receipt 'that
showed the policy was alive had been
mistakenly dated.
