Soda Fountain Still Luring the
Young Astray.
The Wagcworker's position on
the license question is too well
known to need mention here. The
saloons of Lincoln have paid $1,
")00 a year each for the privilege
of selling wines, beer and liquors
at retail, and they are compelled
to observe certain strict rules and
regulations. Having accepted the
money of these saloons the city is
in duty bound to protect the sa
loons in the conduct of the liquor
business. But it is not because
the saloons are entitled to protec-
ion that The VVageworker again
calls attention to the fact that
there are soda founains in the city
that make a practice of dispensing
intoxicants in their most insidi
ous forms.
The soda fountain habit in Lin
coln is doing more to drag young
men and women boys and girls
into the downward path than
all the saloons combined. Beard
less boys and adolescent girls fre
quent these soda fountains, and
with flushed cheeks and glisten
ing eyes that tell of incipient in
ebriation drink decoctions of
wines and liquors that they could
not get at any saloon in the city.
Boys who would be instantly or
dered out of a saloon walk into
drug stores and with the air of
veterans order "soda" that con
tains enough alcohol to make a
runken sailor blink and hunt tor
the water. Girls who could not
gain admittance to any saloon in
Lincoln sit at tables in drug
stores and stow away "soda that
doctored to the limit with
wines and cordials.
Tie Wageworker asserts with
out fear of contradiction that
there are soda fountains in Lin
coln doing a thousand fold more
damage to the community than all
the saloons combined, because
these drug stores cater to the
boys and girls and give them their
first initiation into the drink and
drug habit. Parents who would
raise an awful disturbance if they
found a saloon selling liquor to
their boys say never a word when
their boys loiter around these
'soda fountains" and drink
enough booze to send them off
reeling. Women who would dis
dain to enter a wine room if there
happened to be such a thing in
Lincoln, think nothing of going
into a drug store and ordering a
soda that contains a spike
big enough to fasten britlge tim
bers together.
Morphine, cocaine, chloral
patent medicine concoctions that
are nothing more than raw wins
key of the poorest make all
these things are dished out with
out any pretense at concealment,
and the result is that the moral
atmosphere of the city is growing
more and more tainted every day,
Ihere are a number of respect
able drug stores in Lincoln. They
neither keep nor compound in
toxicants. There are drug stores
whose drug stocks are a huge
bluff, and whose prescription
cases conceal the sale ot more
liquor than 'half the bars of the
city can boast. 1 he police are
practically helpless under existing
conditions. The only remedy lies
in public opinion. Parents should
head the crusade, for it is the
boys and the girls who are being
dragged down bv this horrible
traffic. Watch your boys and
girls, and if you catch them en
tering one of these drug store
saloons," take them home, ibend
them over a barrel and then ap
ply the remedy.
men threatened to vote against
ratification of the constitution un
less that objectionable clause was
stricken out, and as there is a di
vision of sentiment in the terri
tory regarding single or double
statehood with Oklahoma, the
single staters saw that they were
up against it. As a result the con
stitutional convention renigged
on the "open shop" clause and
struck it out.
It was an outrageous attempt
at discrimination to start with,
but what do Post and . Parry and

Engineer and Firemen Meet
Death at Their Posts.
At Nehawka, Neb., last Thurs
day Engineer B. K Young and
1'ireman William bherheld ot tne
Missouri Pacific met death in a
wreck. Their engine went off a
ridge at that point and both
were killed. The engine was at
tached to the rear of a train and
was backing up. It is supposed
that the tender left the rails and
truck a bridge support, knocking
the bridge out of plumb. Engi-
eer Young applied the air and
the engine broke loose from the
train. The train remained on the
rails, but the engine plunged
down and its crew was buried in
the wreck.
The victims were buried at Nc
raska City last Sunday. Engi
neer Young" was buried from St.
Mary s Episcopal church, Kev. A.
Knickerbocker omciatmg and
the Royal Highlanders having
hartre. Fireman Sheffield was
buried from the First Christian ;
church, Rev. J. T. Smith officiat
ing and the Ancieint Order of
United Workmen having charge.
Mr. Young leaves a wife and sev
en children and Mr. Sheffield a
wife and ten children. The fune
rals were the largest in recent
years as both men were well
known and respected.
FUNNY, ISN'T IT.
The Difference a Wad of Money
Will Make.
Sam Parks went to jail because
he took money from employers to
settle troubles that he instigated
as business agent of his union.
John A. McCall, the millionaire
president of the New York Life
Insurance company has been
shown to be guilty of (subornation
of perjury, with misstatement of
facts concerning his business and
with misappropriating trust funds,
But John A. McCall is a leader
in finance, a respected member of
society and not in the least dan
ger of going to jail. Parks was a
poor workingman. McCall is
rich speculator.
The possession of money makes
all the difference in the world.
And vet some foolish people
wonder why workingmen have no
confidence in or respect for th

Statistics show that there is within 6 per cent as much heating
power in a bushel of soft coal as in a bushel of anthracite.
With the Ilinoy Heater the loss in using soft coal is overcome
by f orcing super-heated air directly on top of the fire, burning the
gases and smoke, and leaving no clinkers. ,
This is exactly what the Ilinoy Heater will do and it will pay
you to verify this statement before buying a heating stove.
If you prefer a hard coal baseburner, nothing made equals the
Howe Ventilator. It will heat several rooms to a "comfortable i
temperature, and with a small amount of fuel.- A customer, who
has used one of these stoves for the past twelve years with no
repairs, told us a few days ago that he knew he saved 25 to 50
per cent on his coal bill every winter. We will give you his name
and also that of many others who are glad to testify to the merit
of this sanitary heater. .;'"'
CHARLEY HAWKES.
Deserved Tribute to a Hard
Fighter for Unionism.
Chas. E. Hawkes. late candir
date for the, I. T. U. presidency,
was a caller on friends at the G.
(). last week. No matter what
the opinion of Mr. Hawkes' fu
ture chances for the presidency
may be, or what is thought of his
recent race for the same, the fact
remains that he is an organizer of
considerable magnitude, as the re
sults already achieved in Philadel
phia attest. He possesses ability
n that line that goes to make him
valuable man in International
Typographical circles, and it is
sincerely hoped that President
Lynch, who is by far too big a
jnan to let personal matters enter
where the good of the cause is
concerned, will continue to avail
himself of the services of Mr.
Hawkes, when his work in Phila
delphia shall have been accom
plished. It's all for the eight hours

SMITH'S APOLOGY.

the Light.
There will be no "open shop
clause in the constitution of the
new state that is to be made out
of Indian Territory. The Post
ites sneaked in a clause making it
illegal to sign a closed shop con
tract and tried to make it stick.

Washington . Trades Unionist
Makes Sarcastic Comment.
The Washington Trades
Unionist, one of the best labor
publications in the country, pays
editorial attention to Shelby
Smith's apology, and refers to it
in the following vitriolic manner.
We commend it to the thoughtful
attention of the printing craft:
"Philadelphia. Sept. 19, 1905.
deeplv regret the publication
of the statements made in the
Trades Union News of February
1905, concerning the' members
of the executive council of the
International Typographical Un
ion.
'"I did not mean to intimate that
the international officers had en
tercd into agrements with the rats
or rat employers of Philadelphia
"I had no purpose to assail the
personal character of the mem
bers of the executive council.
"The above is submitted as my
apology for the publication by ine,
in the Trades union News, of the
article complained of.
(Signed.)
"SHELBY SMITH."
And the future life of a union
card rested on the above "stick
ful" of an apology.
In the present effort to gain the
eight-hour day, with general am
nesty allowed in every city in
trouble, the worst "rat" in the
country has a chance for a card
without an apology lor past ac
tions in fact, he -is looked upon
as a friend in need. No matter
what his crime. He - may have

union he ws a member of, vio
lated every article of law in the
international, and he is taken in
to help win a strike.
The personality of . Shelby
Smith entered largely into his
case. With a tongue that utters
cutting, sharp, sentences, filled
with sarcastic contempt for his al
leged. persecutors, he could hard
ly expect quarter from a conven
tion dominated by administration

adherents i but the sentence in his
case was too severe.
Parallel the act of a man fight
ng for his organization, incessant
and insistent for changed condi
tions in Philadelphia union, and
when the executive council prac
tically deserted his cause, saw fit
to criticise that august body for
its alleged delinquency, harshly,
it may be, and his card hangs on
an apology. Parallel it with .a
rat, carrying any number of
coats of whitewash and a card is

him to new fields of usefulness for

ST. PAUL PRESSMEN.
Stand by the Printers With Their
Good Money.
The St. Paul pressmen are the
kind of friends' that count. They
have not only expressed sympa
thy with the printers who are
fighting for the eight-hour day,
but have come to the front with
a bunch of money. The St. Paul
printers are on strike for the
shorter day, and a couple of weeks
ago Pressmen's .. Union No. 29
adopted resolutions of sympathy
and support. Then a member
arose and moved that the sum of
$500 be appropriated to the local
Typographical union to assist it
its struggle. There was not a
dissenting vote. The St. Paul
Pressmen s union has less than
seventy-five members and their
donation amounted to almost $7
per man. That's the kind of
sympathy that counts, and the
St. Paul printers will not be slow
to make proper recognition in a
more substantial way than a mere
"thank you" when opportunity
affords.
THIS HELPS SOME.
disagreement and it is probable
that further negotiations will be
conducted during the coming
week.
Governor Folk has commuted
the sentence of Edgar Bailey from
hanging to life imprisonment.
Bailey, a hackman at Kansas City,
was charged with having mur
dered a strike breaking hackman,
after luring his victim into the
woods. Strenuous efforts were
made to save Bailey's neck. The
Wageworker is glad that Bailey
s not to be hanged, because it
does not believe in capital punish
ment. And it is glad that Bailey
goes up for life, because it does
not believe in violence as a strike
measure. There is entirely too
much of that sort of thing, and
the union men of the country
should set their faces against it.
If we can t win peacefully, then
let us lose gracefully.
FOLLOW THE FLAG

On October 3 the printers of
Utica, N. Y., went on strike to en
force the eight-hour day. Last
Sunday the Typotheta capitulated
and signed .up, and on Monday
morning the strike was a thing of
the past. The eight-hour day
goes into effect on January 1,
190t, withoue a wage reduction.
Every office in the city signed.
The miners of G. B. Markle &
Co., who struck last week, de
cided last Sunday to return to
work. The driver boy who was
the cause of the trouble must re
main idle until- the question of his
wages is decided by the concilia
tion board which the men and the
company has agreed shall settle
the issue.
Ministers March in Labor Day
Parade at San Jose.
When the union men of San
Jose started their Labor Day pa
rade they cheered as the members
of the Pastors' Union wheeled
into line. This union is made up
of the evangelical ministers of
San Jose, and for some months it
has had a fraternal delegate in
the sessions of the Federated
Trades Council. When the parade
countermarched the union crafts
men cheered the ministerial
marchers . to the echo, and the
ministers acknowledged the fact
by waving their hands and emit
ting a few cheers of their own.
The incident has created the
greatest good feeling.
OFFER REJECTED.
Textile Council Will Not Accept
Operators' Proposition.
The Fall River textile council,
representing the organized cotton
mill operatives of the city, has
decided to reject the offer made
by the Manufacturers' association
last week to advance wages '5per

quested the restoration of the re

went into effect July 25, 1905. No

At Indianapolis representatives
of the employing coopers and the

were in session for several days
last week. Last Sunday an agree

agreement signed. Under the
agreement the coopers get a slight
increase in wages.
Required a Lot of Educating.
A young Brockton physician tells the
following about himself:
Upon his graduation from Brown
university he went home to the west
ern part' of the state for a few days
and on the street met a young French
man, one of his comrades of the Span
ish war. This conversation ensued:
"Hello, Fred; I hear you got through
down at Brownse's."
"Yes, I finished there Wednesday."
"Well, what are you going to do
now,"
"I'm going to New York to study
medicine."
"Huh! You going to be a doctor.
How long dat take?"
"I'll have to study four years, any
way." , "Four years! Gee! Didn't you
graduate from the high school here?"
"Yes."
"And didn't you go four years at
Brownse's?"
"Sure thing."
"And now you mean to tell me you
got to study four years more to be a
doctor?"
"I certainly have, and after that
there will be two years in a hospital."
"Well, you must be tick-headed." . ,
