' The Fargo, S. D., Daily Argus has
a few things to say about the 8-hour
day and some good advice for country
printers who may think that the 8
hour strike offers them an opportu
nity. The Argus says:
"The movement of the Interna
tional ' Typographical union for the
8-hour day is beginning to loom up
in the northwest. Advertisements
are now appearing In a number of
newspapers for non-union printers to
report for duty in St. Paul and Minn
eapolis on October 1. Permanent pos
itions at good wages are offered. It
is apparent from these advertisements
that the employers- are planning , a
general" lockout in the Twin Cities as
it is not the desire of the local Ty
pographical unions to declare a strike
at that time. Laying the question
of justice in the demand for the 8
hour day aside, and considering only
the outcome of such a lockout, it will
be well for all non-union printers
to think twice, and even thrice, be
fore applying for any of the positions
advertised. It is a well-known fact,
conceded by employer and employe
alike, that the International Typo
graphical union is the most thorough
ly organized labor union in the world.
It has Ion gsinc epassed its Infant and
experimental stages, and its members,
by the very nature of their calling,
are the most intelligent in the ranks
of the wageworkers. It is the ambi
tion of most country printers, or print
ers in the small towns, to sometime
hold positions in the large printing
offices- in the cities. Many of these
are of the opinion that a strike or
lockout is their opportunity to gratify
their ambition. This might prove to
be the case in some instances, but in
the struggle which the union printers
are anticipating the case will be alto
gether different. For more than a
year definite plans have been put for
ward, and the printers have been
drilled and marshaled even as Oyama
has directed the Japanese soldiers in
their various campaigns, and when
the time comes for the conflict (if it
does come) the union printers of the
United States and Canada will be
found ready for the fray, and will
come off the field with flying colors,
and the non-union man will find that
not only his city position is lost, but
he will also find that the country
position which he left has been,
usurped by another. 'Look before you
leap.'"
the strike bound shops. The union
watchers take good care of that. And
in every bunch picked up by the agents
of the Typothetae there are several
good union men who put in good time
on the road toward Chicago. There
has been a demand for good printers
all over the country for a year or
more, and the claim that the Typothe
tae can supply the places of 6,000 or
8,000 union men is too ridiculous to
be given notice. It was the Typothe-
tae's intention to take the fight by
piecemeal, but the union soon blocked
that game. And instead of the skir
mish the Typothetae expected it is a
general engagement all along the line,
October 6 will see things in Omaha
unless matters are adjusted in the
meantime. The Wageworker is not
in touch with the Omaha situation,
but at this distance Tommy Klopp's
big talk sounds ' very much like ..the
whistle of the small boy who is com
pelled to pass the cemetery on a dark
night.
The strike in Chicago is not general.
A number of good sized shops have
signed up, and the Typothetae has
lost several it depended upon.
The Wageworker asks pardon of H.
W. Smith. It omitted to state that
he was elected delegate from the Ty
pographical Union to' the C. L. U.,
and gave the name of the wrong man.
Mrs. Will Bustard ' was in Lincoln
a day or two last week. She has
been visiting on the Pacific coast all
summer and stopped off in Lincoln
on her way to Chicago, .where Mr.
Bustard is now manipulating a double
decker in a Job shop.
The proposed constitution of the
"Colorado Springs Convention Club"
will be found elsewhere in this issue.

, Mr. and Mrs. Worley are rejoicing
over the arrival of a son, who came
to make his home with them on Thurs
day, September 7.
Mr. and Mrs. George E. LocWer
have been visiting in Atchison with
relatives, and incidentally taking in
the corn carnival.
Mrs. John Sigourney received word
last Tuesday that her sister, Mrs.
Earl Naylor, was seriously ill at Ne
braska City and left immediately for
ber bedside. Mrs. Naylor, whose
home was in Peoria, was visiting her
parents in Nebraska City. She died
Wednesday morning. Mr. Sigourney
went to Nebraska City Wednesday
evening to attend the funeral, which
was held on Thursday.
Joe Hatch is looking after the ma
chines in the Star office now, "Jake"
Greenley having retired. Mr. Hatch
has been in Des Muhsws for some time.
He is glad to get back and the boys
are glad to welcome him.
President Greenley was in Omaha
several days this week, casting his
eagle eye over the situation and hold
ing sessir-no with the big wigs of the
Omaha union.
The Indianapolis firm that secured
the Woodman contract signed up for
the 8-hour day without making any
kick. The office was in the Typo
thetae but pulled out.
In Albany, N. Y., the strike lasted
only over night. The Argus newspa
per and job shop signed up, and the
other shops can not possibly hold out.
We apologize we humble ourselves
in the dust to the Pressmen and As
sistants' Union of Lincoln. Last week
we said the Allied Printing Trades
Council gave a successful "smoker." I
We were mistaken. - The Pressmen
and Assistants' Union gave it to the
Allied Printing Trade and footed all
the bills. It was such a big affair,
and so successful we naturally thought
the whole allied craft had a hand in
it. : But not so just the boys behind
the presses. They demonstrated what
they could do, and we dare 'em to do
it again.
Mr. Small, of the Stereotypers, is
having a hard time of it as a result
of his accident at North's. He will
probably lose his arm, although the
physicians and surgeons are doing all
that human beings can do to save it.
Mr. Small is holding up bravely. Mem
bers of the allied trades should call
and see him. He lives at Fourteenth
and Garden.
Only September, and yet it i not
too early to begin preparations for
the annual ball.
AUXILIARY NOTE6.
The regular semi-monthly meeting
of the Auxiliary was held .at the hall
Wednesday, September 6. Owing to
the fact that our delegate to the In
ternational convention at Toronto had
not received the official transcript of
the proceedings her report was de
ferred, but nevertheless the ladies
were highly entertained with a de
scription of the social features and
pleasantries of the trip to and from
the convention city. Refreshments
were served by Mesdames Smith,
Barngrover and Bowers.
Mrs. W. M. Maupin is to be con
gratulated upon her ability as a sprin
ter, she having won the married ladies
race at the Labor Day picnic at Be
atrice. ,
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bowers are
now pleasantly domiciled in apart
ments at the Palace hotel.

building season is always long, and
there remains several weeks yet be
fore there is any danger of weather
too cold for outside work. The brick
layers expect to have plenty of work
for some time yet and really welcome
the present temporary slackness.

BOOMING ORGANIZATION.
Painters and Decorators Lining Up for
Renewed Activity in Nebraska.
Third Vice President Rower of the
International Brotherhood of Painters,
Decorators and Paperhangers of Amer
ica, was in Lincoln a few hours last
week, looking over the local situation
and giving the boys some pointers.
Mr. Rower announces that the inter
national expects to do a lot of spe
cial work along the lines of organiza
tion in Nebraska this fall and winter.
He will return to Lincoln in a few
weeks and spend - some time here.
An effort will be made to arrange
an open meeting of the Central Labor
Union when Mr. Rower returns to
the city, and it is to be hoped that
he will be permitted to address a large
number of unionists.
PROM THE CARPENTER8.
THE BRICKLAYERS.
Rush Season Lets Up a Little and
Men Catch Their Breath.
The bricklayers have had an un
usually good season, but work sud
denly slacked up a few days ago and
the men are now able to catch their
breath. This has been a remarkably
good building season, and the brick
layers have had all they could handle.
During the season, too, everything has
been amicable except in one or two
minor cases, and they were settled
without much trouble.
The present dullness promises to
Still Taking in Members and Streng

Let each member try and bring in
a new application.
Quite a number have subscribed to
the new sick and accident , benefit

Do you get The Wageworker reg
ularly? If not, notify the business

The matter of electing delegates to
the C. L. U. was laid over until next
meeting. 1 ,
A resolution was adopted at the last
meeting requesting Mayor Brown to
appoint W. M. Maupin a member of
the park commission.
Each member is entitled to ' the
monthly official journal of the United
Brotherhood. Let each brother see
that he gets a copy.
Mr. Harry Dobbs, who employs one
of the best gangs of union carpenters
in the city, is closing up his work pre
paratory to a visit to the . Pacific
coast country.
Bro. Stoner has . invented a patent
galvanized siding board that ought to
prove a success. The only bad feat
ure about it is the liability to put
more carpenters on the bum.
The matter of initiation and rein
statement fee is made a special order
for next Tuesday, the 19th. Every
member is hereby notified to be pres
ent. .'. '
A committee was appointed last
meeting to arrange a series of open
meetings and entertainments to
which 'non-union carpenters will be
invited.
The new working cards are now
ready. The color is pink and they
are good for October, November and
December. Every member should call
and "get one,.
Bro. Herbert, Sharpnack is now
working at Badger, Mont. He likes
the country very much and especially,
the wages. He works eight hoars
per day and gets $27 per week as
against $18 In Lincoln.
THE CIGARMAKERS.
Some New About the Men Who Roll
the Union Smokes.
The cigarmakers have been watch
ing for the advent of a "trust cigar
shop" for a long time, and now that
it has made its appearance they are
ready to make it interesting for the
people who make a specialty of hand
ling tenement made "scab" cigars.
They are framing up a campaign of
education, and it is barely possible
that some "horrible examples" of
"scab" cigars will be put on exhibi
tion. , ' '. ' .' -.. .
Business is fair with the local fac
tories and- cigarmakers are not com
pelled to lose any time. ...
H. A. Sammons, a member of the
local union, is rejoicing over the ad
vent of a son. The little fellow made
his appearance on September 10. Mr.

Beatrice Boy Drowns.
Will Cook, the nineteen-year-old son
of Banker D. W. Cook, was drowned
a couple of miles northwest of Beat-,
rice, near what is known as the pon
toon bridge. He had taken a number
of younger boys up the river to look
after them while they took a bath and
while they were in the shallow water
he went out into the river for a swim.
While floating about he suddenly call
ed to parties sitting on the river bank .
and told them he was drowning. Be
fore aid could reach him he sank in
about twelve feet of water.

There is something doing in St.
Louis. Old No. 8 has got her neck
bowed now, after the little fiasco of
last summer, and is going to show.that
she Iras go the 8-hour fight of the
country concealed about her buxom
person. The St. Louis Typothetae
met last Wednesday night and 'decid
ed against signing up for eight hours.
Before the meeting adjourned the ex
ecutive committee of No. 8 began call
ing out the men and the men came
out, of course. About 900 men will
be affected, a-d it is believed that the
strike . will be general before Satur
day night.
Trouble is on in San Antonio and
Dallas, Texas, but in other Texas
towns the proprietors and the unions
have come together amicably and the
eight hour day . goes into effect on
time. The cities named are Import
ant printing points and the unions are
in shape to press their claims.
It looks good all over the country.
The obdurate Typothetae is trying to
seduce the country printers to coming
to town, but the country printer only
winks his eye and sticks to his case.
He knows that he is due for the throw
down from the Typothetae just as
soon as the Typothetae is through
with him. And he knows, too, that
the union will do him more good
than a "rat" Job could. Chicago,
where the big fight is on, looks good
from the union standpoint. The Ty
pothetae is bringing in plenty of men,
but only a small proportion of them
are printers, and the larger share of
that small proportion never reaches
