I
Gas and
Common Sense
"What do you mix your paints with?" queried a visitor of a fa
mous painter. "With brains," was the reply. In order to succeed
in any business one must mix brains with one's business. And the
exercise of brains in the use of gas is just as necessary as the exer
cise of brains in anything else.' Would you fun your coal stove or
furnace on the principle of starting the fire, piling on the fuel, leav
ing all dampers open and. then going away and leaving the fire to run
itself? Of course not. You regulate the fire by manipulating the
dampers or scientific feeding of the fuel. Why, then, expect good
service from a gas stove or a gas jet by just turning the valve and
applying the match? Why not study the use of gas Just as you study
the use of coal?
If the flame on your gas range leaps out and around the cooking
utensil, you are wasting gas. When a pot is mildly boiling it is just
as hot as when the contents are "walloping" around at a great rate.
No matter how hot the flame, you cannot heat water to more than
the boiling point. In using the gas oven, experiment with what the
scientists call "confined heat." In other words, get the oven as hot
'as you want it, and then regulate the flame to keep it just so hot.
It is just as easy to waste gas' as it is to waste coal. Do not let the
gas range or gas jet "run themselves" and then blame anyone else
for big gas bills. If your gas range burns with a yellow flame you
are wasting gas. The blue flame is the one you want and you can
get it by proper manipulation of the valve.

Preparing to Observe the Third Anni
versary in Befitting Style.
Capital Auxiliary No.' 11 to Typo
graphical Union No. 209 held a very
interesting meeting Friday, Jan. 5, at
the home of Mrs. Fred Ihringer. In
stallation of officers was the main
business of the day, Mrs. Norton be
ing installed as president for the next
six months. There were more ladies
out than of late and we hope, now the
holidays are over, to see the ladies
once more take interest and be more
regular in attendance. Miss Elva
Coffey took the membership pledge.
We are glad to see that several of the
daughters of Typographical Union
men are becoming interested in the
Auxiliary.
A committee was appointed to ar
range for the anniversary of the Aux
iliary, which will be held Friday, Jan.
26, at Bohanan's hall. Every printer
and family will be more than wel
come and we hope they will make an
effort to come out and help us cele
brate our third anniversary. The plans
are not fully made but everything in
cluding dancing, cards, a program and
refreshments will be free and we hope
the members of No. 209 will help us
celebrate.
Four of the members of our Auxil
iary accepted the invitation from the
Central Labor Union and attended the
open meeting held in their hall Tues
day evening. They were fully repaid
for. going and enjoyed the speeches.
Mrs. H. W. Smith, past president, be
ing called upon gave a short but in
teresting talk on our work.
The next meeting will be with Mrs.

Ask Unionists to Be on Watch for a
"Scab" Factory's Trick.
Paris, Ills., Jan. 10. To the Editor
of The Wageworker: The Broom
Makers' Union, Local No. 34, has been
on strike since November 19, 1904,
against an open shop proposition and
a reduction in wages, offered us by
our employers, the Herkle Wiley
Broom Co., of Paris, 111.," and owing to
the length of this struggle it has left
our membership in very poor circum
stances. We have all worked at odd
jobs whenever we had an opportunity,
but our town not being a manufactur
ing one, work has been very scarce.
Our International Union, though
very small in numbers has stood by
us and assisted us nobly, but owing to
the fact that the broom manufactur
ers are organized, and the firm we
worked for leading lights, they have
made trouble for our International
wherever possible, and it has been a
hard matter for them to finance trou
ble from every point where these
union busters have started it.
We have made things interesting
for them, and have reduced their out
put fully one-half, and the few goods
they are now turning out are made by
cheap. Inexperienced workmen. They
have purchased brooms made by con
vict labor, from prison contractors,
and placed their own business label
on them, and palmed them off on the
unsuspecting public as brooms made
by free labor. No trick is too low for
them to stoop to, and at the present
time they are placing a ' small round
"fake label" on their brooms, similar
to our union label, bearing the words
"Not Prison Made" and also placing
the words "Union Made" in good sized
letters in one corner of their own busi
ness label.
We have been successful in having
the A. F. of L. place this firm on the
"We Don't Patronize" list, which is
worrying them considerably, and we
have great hopes of bringing them to
time.
We are determined to win this fight,
and can win if we receive the unstint
ed , support of the labor movement.
Our membership is in very poor cir
cumstances, and with the cold blasts
of winter upon us, we are in no
cheery mood, but we are determined
to continue this fight as long as we
have a crust to live on.
We are not certain that any of these
unfair brooms are on sale in your city
or not, but very likely there are, as
this firm ships brooms to every state
in the union. We would like to have
at least your moral support, and your
financial sui ;:ovt if you are in a posi
tion to render it. Any amount no mat
ter how small, will be thankfully re
ceived. Trusting that this appeal will not be
placed on file without favorable action,
and hoping to at least receive a reply,
we remain, fraternally yours,

the complaint which oversteps the
boundary line defined by law, but the
evidence to sustain Tsuch charges, or
that any unlawful act to the injury of
plaintiffs' right of property is intend
ed by the defendants, is not convinc
ing. So long as the defendants con
fine themselves to peaceful means to
advance the interests of their organ
ization, they -are within the letter and
the spirit of the law and not subject
to the intervention of the courts. The
moment that they- resort to force,
threats ore intimidation, a court of
equity will intervene and enjoin un
lawful acts to protect property rights.
"I do not find evidence of force,
threats or ; intimidation to justify a
preliminary injunction in this case.
Some of the plaintiffs' workmen have
been persuaded to leave their employ
ment, but in all cases it has been by
peaceful inducement by , the defen
dants. The order herein made is, of
course, without prejudice to the right
of the plaintiffs to obtain such a final
decree in this action as the court may
deem just after a full hearing." -

Heart Specialist
Judge Smith of Minneapolis Gives the
Typothetae a Body Blow.
Judge John Day Smith of Minne
apolis on last Tuesday issued an order
denying the prayer of a temporary in
junction against the striking members
t the printers' union made by the
Minneapolis typothetae. The court
denies plaintiffs' motion on its merits
as evidenced by the affidavits filed in
the case and without deciding the
differing contentions of the parties as
to whether the plaintiffs come into
court with clean hands and are vio
lating the anti-trust law.
He holds that there is not sufficient
evidence of violence or improper con
duct on the part of the striking print
ers to warrant the issue of an injunc
tion. In his memorandum Judge
Smith reviews the causes and the his
tory of the trouble between the strik
ing printers and typothetae, cites the
general laws governing the issuance
of injunctions and in conclusion
states: -
"In this case one act of Physical
violence is charged. Thej-fs no evi
dence, however, that the police author
ities of the city have befen applied to
for the purpose of suppressing vio
lence or disorder. j .
J "It, is true that much U charged in
Have Gingered Up and the Meetings
Are Now Well Attended.
The boys over at the Freie Presse
are rejoicing that the hardest part of
the winter is over for them. Their
work has lightened up considerably
since the usual Christmas rush. They
were made happy by the company giv
ing them a box each o fifty fine cigars
New Years, and consequently C. A.
Demerest, the head: stereotyper's help
er, is sick. The others seemed to have
survived.
Acey Shamp blew into town again
the other day. Acey has been down
in St. Louis and says we should see
those fellows run a union "and work"
down there.
The Pressmen have tacked on a 25
cent fine for not attending meetings,
with good results. Now the members
will come out and consequently pay
their dues more promptly.
The union has a new list of officers
now who are going to make things
jingle.
Herman Werger, now president, is a
rustler from the word go and he takes
hold' of things with a vim.
Three feeders! on large presses at
the Journal office were found to be
working under the scale and had their
dues reduced to apprentices, so they
got mad! and said they would quit the
union.
The pressmen would be the happiest
men in Lincoln if the Journal com
pany would only pay the pressroom the
scale so they could grant them the
Allied Trades label. But they feel
that if the Journal can live without
them they can live without the Journal.
At the last meeting every man of
the fifty-four was working at the trade
and several "positions were reported
open. Can any beat that?
The new delegates have orders to
attend the Central abor Union or re
sign and let some go that will. They
meet at 1034 O street, second story,
in the rear the first and third Tues
day nights in each month.
The last heard from M. L. Peters he
was in Kansas City. The boys won
der if he has spent that $25 yet.
E. Gardner is experimenting with in
dividual motors on the presses at
North's. A step ahead.
T. Biges don't sleep nights since he
got in his new Century-Campbell, one
of the finest machines in the city.
Will King- says those not in the ring
will be suspended this month. Better
pay up, boys.
QUIT THIS FOOLISHNESS!
Union Printers Disgusted With Repre
sentatives Like Hayes and Berger.
Is it wise to be in a state of armed
neutrality or in a state of siege with
your employers Is it profitable or
politic to repel, rebuff and insult every
powerful influence that would array
itself on your side in your battle for
better wages or better conditions?
Messrs. Hayes and Berger seem to
think so and lose no opportunity to
insult and anathemize the powerful
forces composing the Civic Federation.
They point the Unset- of scorn at men
with better mental' balance who meet
these forces and try to direct them
towards organized labor's 'goal. 'Ac
cording to these two Worthies, and
some of their following, the officers of
labor unions should repel these over
tures' with contumely and derision and
assume a belligerent attitude and utter
defiance at men seeking to conciliate
inharmonious elements. The Journal
will refrain from gloating over the piti
ful results which the leadership of
Messrs. Haye3 and Berger have ob
tained in their immediate neighbor
hoods. It is a fact, a remarkable fact,
that all of these assaults1 upon organ
ized labor and their officials come from
members' of the Typographical Union,
and- it is a pertinent question whether
the members of these unions in Cleve
land and Milwaukee uphold and coun
tenance these attacks. This question
will have to be answered! and then
other unions will not hesitate about
what to do in the matter.. These two
men continually and habitually insult,
traduce and blackguard1 the officials of
all other unions, and do this under
pretense that political necessity calls
for it. While no one would think for
a moment of curtailing or interfering
with' ths political rights, opinions or
liberty of these two men, yet they do
not hesitate to savagely assault the
rights, opinions and liberty of others.
They demand for themselves that
which they refuse to accord to others,
and do it in a manner that calls for re
prisal. Mine Workers' Journal.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
Mrs. S. J. Kent in a Railroad Wreck
While in Illinois. .
Mrs. S. J. Kent of this city, who is
vioiting her sister in Springfield, Ills.,
is reDorted' to be quite ill as the result
of a sheck received in a railroad acci
dent and ihc untimely, death of a fa
vorite ;l'vtle nephew. , -Mrs., Kent was.
called to Springfield by a telegram an-,
neuncing the serious illness of the lit
tle boy, and just before reaching her
destination the train collided with a
freight. . The car in which. Mrs,, Kent
was riding was almost demolished, but
strange to pay none of the passengers
was 'badly injured, although some re
ceived Flight bruises. - Shortly after
Mrs. Kent reached Springfield her little
nephew died. The physical and mental
shock vac; so great that Mrs. Kent be
came sericusly ill.
Many iriionists in Lincoln will re
memter the bright little fellow whom
Mrs. -Kent held upon the table at a
Label League entertainment last sum
mer, and who spoke so cleverly. That
was the son of Mrs. Kent's sister and
is the little one who has just been
called home. The sympathy of a host
of friends in Lincoln go out to the
sorrowing parents in Springfield.
THE RETORT COURTEOUS.
How a Union Printer Got Back at the
Sneering Banker.
One day recently one of the striking
printers of Typographical Union, No.
182, wa3 soliciting job work of a promi
nent Akron, Ohio, banker, to be done
at the shop of a printer who is
"square" on the eight-hour proposi
tion. This banker, having stock in one of
the "struck" shops, seemed to have a
raw spot, and in the course of the con
versation remarked that printers and
other union men were "robbers.".
The solicitor asked him if he knew
how many printers there were in the
Ohio penitentiary, to which the bank
er said he did! not.
"Well, I'll tell you," said the printer.
"They have had to suspend publication
of the Ohio Penitentiary News until a
printer' can be found crooked enough
to land! in the pen, but there are twenty-one
nice, smooth bank cashiers
there, now, to say nothing of a few
who haven't been sentenced yet."

THE SPIRIT OF UNIONISM.
Union Bartenders Bury a Non-Union
.Man and Help the Widow.
A little incident occurred in Minne
apolis last week that deserves more
than ordinary notice. Especially
should it be called to the attention of
those who insist that unions are self
ish. John La Londe, a non-union bar
tender, died in Minneapolis last week.
He had never been a member of the
Bartenders' Union, but members of the
union, learning of his demise, imme
diately brought the fact before the
members - of the organization. The
union immediately took charge of all
arrangements, paid all expenses and
covered the casket with flowers. The
bereaved widow tearfully thanked the
unionists for their kindness. ,
Ever hear of "scabs" displaying any
such feeling toward unionists?
HANG THE RASCAL.
His Union Card Proof That He Is a
Bloody Murderer.
Ex-Governor Steuenenberg of" Idaho
was assassinated a few weeks ago by
the explosion of a' dynamite bomb at
his front gate. Steusnenberg was gov
ernor during the days of the infamous
"bull pen" at Couer d'Allene, and was
a willing tool of the mine ownersThe
atrocities committed! by the militia
through the connivance of Steuenen
berg wttll never be fully known.
Thomas Hogan ha3 been arrested on
suspicion of having thrown the bomb
that killed the ex-soernor. The
chances are that be will be convicted.
The courts in -the miningcountry are
notoriously .owned by the mine owners,
and Hogan -carried a,minen's working
car vany proof of
his gufv gmm iuo, that card fur
nished.' JlT Being a union man, of
course, he is a murderer at heart, if
not in fact, and shpuld therefore be
hanged. Somebody must, hang for
Stuenenberg's murder, and of course it
will have to be a union man, so why
not Hogan? "Are not all union men
off the same piece? The detectives,
have, so they say, overwhelming proof
of Hogan's guilt. ' They actually found
his union card in his pocket. Away
with him! V ;.
R. W. McGinnis, the general agent
of the Northwestern at this point, will
not be supremely happy until he gets
an evening train out of Lincoln to con
nect at Fremont with a train that will
run direct from Wyoming to Chicago.
And Mr. McGinnis expects to . be
happy before the warm days of sum
mer are over. ' .
