Intinst cn ticMsiitt f LINCOLN, NEBRA8KA 2m0OMOMOMMM 0004ttMOMMOMroH THE RAILROAD PICNIC. Everything Lovely and the Celebra tion Was a Great Success. The Fourth of July' celebration un der the auspices of the railroad men of Lincoln, and held at Seward was a huge success, even if It did look rather dismal about midnight before. A heavy rain all day Monday and low ering clouds and occasional drizzles up to midnight, made the managers feel .about as gloomy as the weather. Btitjthe morning of the Fourth dawned bright and clear, and the day was an ideal one from the standpoint of the celebrant. It is estimated that the Burlington special trains, three in number, carried not less than 3,000 people from Lincoln to Seward, and as nearly as can be estimated an equal number returned, either the same day or tho day after. And it was a jolly crovd 0f people too. They were out for a good time, and save for a few accidents of a minor character the good time was had: Everybody pres ent was under obligations to the com mittee -that had the affair in charge. Shortly before noon a grand parade was held, the - procession passing through the streets of Seward, and as soon ad the park was reached the exercises of the day began. Judge P. James Cosgrave of Lincoln was the orator of the day and his oration was fully up to the high expectations, After dinner the athletic program was pulled off without a hitch save in the ball game between Utica and Davey. Tim game brought out a feature not down on the bills a little rough-and-tumble that was mild enough to make it amusing and earnest enough to be the real thing for the participants. A decision by the umpire brought on the trouble, and although the umpire made his get-away safely early in the proceedings, the outraged supporters of the opposing teams met on the dia mond and argued physically until spe cial officers escorted a few of them to the "cooler" and gave them time to exude sufficient perspiration. Some disappointment was felt be cause the tug-o-war was not given. Various reasons were advanced for the failure of this feature. It was to have been between enginemen and trainmen, the river to divide, the op ponents and the loser to be . dragged through the moisture. The enginemen solemnly affirm, asservate and declare that they were ready and that the trainmen renigged. TThe trainmen, with considerable emphasis, vow, in sist and vociferate that they were on deck with their pulling clothes and that the enginemen were scared; out by the sight of the brawny muscles exhibited by their opponents. Out siders ventured the opinion that one was afraid and the other dassn't, but whatever the cause the failure to see a bunch of men soused in the pellucid waters of the Blue made thousands feel badly. But the rest of the pro gram was all right, and the day wound up in a blaze of glory. The hose race was won by Seward, although the York, team crossed the finish line several feet ahead of its competitor. York was slow in making couplings, which lost her the contest. The prizes were $30 and $20. No oth er teams were in the race. Other events all of which were closely con tested and furnished unusual interest for the crowd, resulted as follows: Ladies' nail driving contest, won by Mrs. Ellen Sliders of German town; second, Mrs. Fannie Koch, of Malcom. Prizes. $3 and $2. Boys' egg race, won by Ed Taylor, of Lincoln; second, Harry Hyder, of Lincoln. Prizes, $3 and $2. , 100-yard dash, won by Clark "Wise man, of York; second, Wilkins, of York. Prizes, $7 and $3. ' Boys' 75-yard dash, won by Deloss Linch of Lincoln; second, Harry Hy der, of Lincoln. Prizes, $3 and $2. Cup race, won by R. M. Wilkins Prize $3. Hose coupling contest, won by Reed and Stafford, of York. Prize $5. The tug of war between the train men and the enginemen was not held The balloon ascension and several high-diving exhibitions by a little fox terrier completed the afternoon's pro gram.. In the evening a big exhibi tion of fireworks was scheduled to be held in the park. Trains brought the excursionists back to Lincoln at 8:30 and 11:30 p. m. The outing was considered a big sue cess by those in charge of- it. The general committee was composed of Ed Young, J. W. White, F. W. Bol shaw, William Best and M. D. White. J. N. Hyder was chairman of the amusement committee, J. W. White of the concessions committee, and F. W. Bolshaw of the advertising. The pic nic was held under the auspices of the O. R. C, B. of L. E.f B. of L. F. and B. of R. T. BARBERS CELEBRATED. ' Every union barber shop in Lincoln was closed on July 4, and as a result the union barbers were enabled to celebrate-, the anniversary like. other folks. That they made the most of the opportunity goes without saying. The closing order was such a success that it will doubtless be a great many. years ere union shops in Lincoln are open on the Fourth.

Both Phones Brotherhood Men Arranging for a Grand Rally in Lincoln Some Time After August Ml. ravUinn No. 08. Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, with headquarters in Lincoln, is arranging for a grand Brotherhood rally to take'place in this city some time after August 20, the date not yet being definitely fixed. The Brotherhood holds its conventions every two years, and in the year between it is customary for the Brotherhood to hold rallies at different points. Division No. P8-is preparing to hold aurally here, and a competent committee composed of H. Wiggenjost, Joseph McCoy, John VV. WJute, i-iiaries jtiook and W. T. Lahey has been appointed to take charge ot the work ot arrangements. ' - ' Grand Chief Warren S. Stpne of Cleveland, Ohio, has written that he is nreoared to make a date some time after August 2.0, and as soon as the date, can be arranged to suit Mr. Stone it will be nnnniinfpd. and the erand chief will be present. The intention is to send out invitations all over the country and secure the attendance nf a larr number of Brotherhood men and to make it one ot the greatest rallies ever held by any division in this country. With such a committee as the one named above the success of the rally is assumed, and the benefits that will accrue to the Brotherhood, espe cially in this division, will undoubtedly be large. It is expected that Irom 250 to 400 Brotherhood men win De present witn tneir iammcs. The Wageworker suggests that the Commercial Club take a hand in this matter and prepare to give the visiting Brotherhood men the time of- their lives.

MVB inrc 1 UN I UN I ikirMI k avf Mr Praaa awry - . nun .. m- 1 mj.,. mv cm - m FrM Pmi a m FRANK W. BROWN. There is absolutely no politics involved in The Wageworker support of Frank W. Brown for congress, mat support is Daseu nnon what this newspapei considers' good labor grounds, and these trrnnnHe will he nointd out. As union men are not privileged at this time to vote for one of their own number to represent thein in congress, the next best thing for themUo do is to vote for a man who has shown his interest in and friendship for unionism. Mr. Brown's position on this point ; tnn well known to need extended mention at this time. But more than this, the special election to beh eld in this district on July 18 gives the unionists of the district an opportunity to make an exhibit of their strength at the polls, and if this strength is exhibited with anvthlne like unanimity, it stands to reason that in the future the leaders of all political partio? will bear it in mind and make an effort to secure that strength for their candidates by selecting candidates satisfactory to the labor 'vote. And that is the end to be sought after by unionists at this time. As long as the votes of workingmen ran be divided alcr pa-cisaii lines just so long will labor be af lorded an opportunity to keep divided. Nothing contributes to the success of schemes against the interests of labor like the ability of nartv bosses to keep labor thus divided against itself When labor shows that it will no longer be played for a sucker,' then party lead ers will begin to cater to the labor vote just as they now cater to. the vote of this or ' that element made up of .foreign born citizens. If the labor vote is certain to be thrown against a man who in no wise holds the interests of labor close to' heart, then the parties will be careful not to put up such a man for office; If the labor .vote is sure to be thrown to the candidate who stands for the interests of labor, then the party leaders will endeavor to offer such .men as candidates. This is the first thing to be sought after by union men. But it will never obtain until the labor vote ceases to divide along party lines in obedience to the commends of selfish politicians. The First district is republican by a large majority. As long as that majority prevails and the labor vote is not recognized, just so long will the district be controlled, by men seeking to advance selfish interests. If Mr. Brown is elected it will set the republican leaders to thinking, and next year they will ask the laboring men of the district to express a choice as to the candidate. "And the democrats, too, .flushed with success and reajizing the causes leading to that success, will ask the laboring men . to express their choice of can didates. Then will come the day when the workingmen may take their choice between two friends, and not be compelled to guess which will be' the lesser of two evils in the way of candidates for public office. The Wageworker wants to assist in bringing about such a con dition of affairs in politics that the managers of all political parties will feel impelled to give labor a show. The best way to do this is to mass- our strength a few times, forgetting partisanship in an endeavor to secure recognition, and then say to the political man agers: ' "Treat us on the square or take the consequences." Once united the labor vote cam control the elections in this district in this state and in this nation. And who 'dare say that the work ingmen of the country would not give us better, cleaner and more honest administration than that afforded by the selfish and greedy interests that have been running things to suit themselves ? , A vote for rrank W. Brown is not a vote for a democrat at this time it is a vote to compel recognition of the demands of the men who make this country what it is,5-.
