Carpenters and Joiners Local No. 7,
of Minneapolis, claims to be the larg

The Plumbers' Union of Lincoln is
the latest organization to wheel into
line and subscribe in a body for The
Wage worker. Thanks! But there is
room on the rolls for a few more.
There is no room in Lincoln for a
"vaudeville house" of the kind that
has been running on East O street for
some time. The sooner it quits busi
ness the better it will be for all con
cerned.
The home of Charles B. Righter has
been quarantined for the past two
weeks because little Miss Dorothy
Righter had scarlet fever. The attack
was a very light one and Miss Dorothy
has been feeling first rate most of the
time. The quarantine will be lifted in
a day or two.
The Union Pacific's new train from
Omaha to Los Angeles, direct, is the
crowning glory of modern railroading.
No finer train was ever constructed,
and no better service ever rendered.
The Overland management may al
ways be depended upon to do it first
and a whole lot better.
A couple of Lincoln ministers were
conversing the' other day and one of
them said: "I am anxious to ascer
tain how we can get the masses into
the church." "O, I am not worrying
about that," said the other minister.
"What worries me is how to get the
church into the masses."
Week before last The Wageworker
referred to Jere Sullivan as president
of the Bartenders' International
League. Mr. Sullivan is secretary
treasurer of that organization, a fact
well known to the editor, who was
thinking of presidents when he wrote
the little notice.
Work on the new Lyric theatre,
Thirteenth street, between O and P,
on the site of the old Furniture block,
is progressing rapidly. The debris is
being removed and as soon as spring
opens up the work on construction will
be pushed. James Craddock has drawn
the designs for one of the handsomest
little theatres in the west.
The Wageworker's old college chum,
"Gig" Martin, came into Lincoln by
hand last Tuesday and tarried a few
days around the print shops. His visit
recalled the old hand composition days
when "8:2" meant a lot of hard work
for about eleven hours and enough
money to start off for' the next good
town feeling like a millionaire.
The social science department of the
Omaha Woman's Club is spending
some time in discussion of the child
labor question: Any well posted union
man in Omaha could tell the good
women of that club a whole lot about
child labor, and if the women want to
help in the work of abolishing that
iniquity th'ey will join hands with the
labor unions.
NOT THE WAGEWORKER.
Will Not Lend Itself to the Work of
Boosting This Graft.
The Wageworker is in receipt of an
offer from the American Protective
Tariff League to furnish it with free
plate matter boosting the protective
tariff idea. Also to furnish the league's
official organ 'in exchange, and to send
the editor of this humble little labqr
paper all the pamphlets of the league.
. We are obliged ,to lecline this flat
tering offer. Having no graft of its
pvri, The Wageworker declines to fur
ther the graft of the tariff barons.
We are not "knocking" on the protec
tive tariff theory. But we have long
since learned that the men who are
loudest in demanding a protective
tariff are the workingmen who get no
benefits from it and the mill owners
v.-ho get all the benefits. We have
never yet learned that the protective
tariff built a mansion at the seashore
for the mill hand, but we have noted
that the employers of the. mill hands
do build such mansions, ride in private
yachts and tour Europe with greac
regularly. If the protective tariff
does benefit the workingman it is be
cause a little of the benefit to the man
ufacturers is allowed to trickle down
until the workingman gets a slight
taste of it. When it does trickle it is
because the. manufacturer is getting so
much he can't take care of all of it.
We are not very much interested in
the Protective Tariff League just now.
We are more interested in being able
to buy in the markets wherein we
have to sell. We are negotiating for
a typewriter machine right now, and
we know that the American-made ma
rhine we want to buy is shipped to
Europe and sold for $25 less money
than we can buy it here. And we
lnow that the .blank paper The Wage
worker is printed on costs 50 per cent
more in Lincoln than the same paper
would cost in Canada because the
titftfi on wood pulp and print paper en
ables the papermakers to charge United
States consumers that much more.
When The Wageworker gets into a
5 de line of business that will be vast
ly benefited by a protective tariff we
may feel more like helping the Amer
ican Protective Tariff League in its
work. But just now we are kept too
infernally busy hustling for money
to pay to the tariff barons who have
already got in their hooks.
W. H. TOY IS DEAD.
Veteran Printer Well Known in the
West Called to His Home.
William H. Toy, for a number of
years a -esident of Lincoln, and a
union printer of many years standing,
died in Omaha last week after an ill
ness of iong duration. Mr. Toy was
about 56 j ears of age and leaves a
wife and six children. The 'remains
were interred in Omaha.
Mr Toy was well known in Lincoln,
where he worked as a printer for a
number of ..ears, and where he once
published a labor paper called' "Fair
Play." rlc- learned his trade in the
east and was employed in Philadelphia
before coming west. He was a sincere
and earnest unionist who never hesi
tated to .-iand up for the principles
of trades unionism. He was well liked
in labor circles in Lincoln, and there
are many tpressiona of sincere regret
that he has been : taken from the ac
tivities of Me.
REV. CHARLES STELZLE COMING.
Famous Ministerial Advocate of Union
ism Headed for Lincoln.
One of the best bits of information
The Wageworker has ever been privi
leged to give to the unionists of Lin
coln is the announcement that Rev.
Charles Stelzle of Chicago will be the
Y. M. C. A. speaker at the Oliver
theatre on Sunday afternoon, Febru
ary 18. In the estimation of this hum
ble little newspaper this is the great
est attraction ever offered by the Y.
M. C. A. in Lincoln, because it will
or should 'be the means of getting
out the largest crowd of workingmen
ever assembled to hear a speaker on
this course. The Wageworker trusts
that every union man in the city will
bear the date in mind and be at the
meeting.
Rev. Charles Stelzle is one of the
big men in the new labor movement
in the United States. A few years
ago he was working at his trade as a
machinist. He was a union man from
the ground up, and always took an
active part in the affairs of his local.
By reason of organization he drew
wages that enabled him to live com
fortably and have leisure hours in
which to improve his mind. He stud
ied for the ministry and in due time
was ordained to preach the gospel.
While preaching he never forgot his
unionism, and never allowed his card
to lapse. When the great Presbyterian
church realized the need of getting in
closer touch with the wage earners of
the United States it turned to Rev.
Charles Stelzle and asked:
"What, should we do to get in closer
touch with the workingmen of the
land?"
And he answered the question. The
result w-;is the organization of the De
partment of Church and Labor in the
Home Missions branch of the church,
and the machinist-preacher was put
in charge. He traveled about the
country, visiting central labor bodies
and various trades unions, explaining
his mission. The results were little
less than astounding. Men who
thought the church ' ignored them
found that they had been misjudging
the church. The church at large dis
covered that the unions were doing a
magnificent work in the uplifting of
humanity. Both sides realized that
they had been holding mistaken no
tions, and these wrong notions have
been dissipated. A better feeling has
resulted, and while the church is bene
fitted the unions are being benefitted
even more. Quietly and without os
tentation,. Rev. Charles Stelzle has
prosecuted his labors, and today no
man is more highly honored among
the men who look upon their union
cards as badges of honorable manhood.
When Rev. Mr. Stelzle steps for
ward on the stage of the Oliver 2,000
union men ought to confront him and
give him such a welcome as will warm
the cockles of his heart. Remember
the dateFebruary 18, 1906, at the
Oliver, 3:30 p. m.
LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS.
Install Officers Last Sunday to Serve
the Division Two Years.
Division No. 98, Brotherhood of Lo
comotive Engineers, elected officers at
the meeting on December 3, 1905, and
these officers-elect were duly installed
at the regular meeting last Sunday.
The follo-ving officers will serve for
a period of two years:
J. S. McCoy, Chief "Engineer, and
chairman of the local committee of
adjustment. ''"'
Samuel Noble, First Engineer.
W. T. lyeahy, Second Engineer.
H. Wiggenjost, First Assistant En
gineersecretary. Jacob Renner, Second Assistant En
gineer treasurer.
H. L. Beatty, Third Assistant En
gineer. Charles Hook, Guide.
Frank Parvin, Chaplain.
George H. Moore was chosen to serve
as chairman of the legislative board.
The international convention will mee
in Memphis, Tenn., in May, but Di
vision No. 98 has not yet selected a
representative. There was a tie vote
between the two high candidates for
the delegateship, and the matter will
te taken up at a future meeting.
H. Wiggenjost, who was elected sec
retary, has served the Division in this
capacity for eighteen years, to the en
tire satisfaction of the membership.
He now enters upon his tenth consecu
tive two-year term, and here's hop-
1 ing he will live to enter ten or twenty
more terms.
E. Z. Glass is in the hospital at
Columbus, suffering from a chronic
trouble of long standing. His many
Lincoln friends hope to hear of his
speedy recovery.

HOW ABOUT IT?
Red Hot Union Men Accused of Ha
bitually Buying "Scab" Soap.
Sherlock Holmes, Jr., has been em
ployed by The Wageworker to do a
little sleuthing in and about Lincoln
for the purpose of getting a few facts1
about the matter of using labeled
goods. The first round he made was
of the union print shops of the city
and he found a sad state of affairs. He
made the sad and sorrowful discovery
that every union printshop in the city
was using "scab" soap. This is not
as it should be. The office chapels buy
the soap, as a rule, and it would seem
that a good union printer , would try
to have union made soap ready for
use. Mr. Holmes is going to make the
rounds again next week and name the
offices that are using "scab" soap and
then report to James M. Lynch at In
dianapolis. Mr. Holmes authorized The Wage
worker to announce that for the next
few days he is going to loaf around the
cigar stores and spot the alleged union
men who habitually buy "scab" cigars
and chewing and1 smoking tobacco. He
expects to have a long list of names
for publication in a very short time.
CHORUS STRIKERS WIN.
Herr Conried Grants the Demand for
Increased Pay.
New York, Jan. 6. The strike of
the chorus of the Metropolitan opera
house was ended this afternoon. The
chorus returned to the opera house
this afternoon, singing in the matinee
performance of Gounod's "Faust."
Director Heinrich agreed to pay the
members of the chorus $20 a week
instead of the $15 wages paid them
formerly, and they relinquished their
demand for the recognition of their
LABOR LEADERS IN CONTEMPT.
St. Louisians Said to Have Violated a
Court Order.
St. Louis, Jan. 6. George D. Rey
nolds, master in chancery, today ren
dered an opinion in wnich five union
labor leaders are held in contempt of
court for violation of a restraining or
der issued nearly two years ago by
the late United States Circuit Judge
Thayer, prohibiting' the carpenters'
union from carrying on a boycott
against a sash and door company. An
attachment was applied for,-' directed
against the following:
J. A. Shine, secretary of the car
penters' district council; G. J. Ben
hon, national organizer; J. Crowe, F.
W. Melville and Alvin Hohenstein.
Doubtful.
A city man was showing a country
cousin through the Metropolitan Mu
seum. "See that bunch of old Egyp
tian coins over there, Reub?" he said,
pointing at one of the showcases.
"Well, every one of those coins is
over three thousand years old." "Quit
yer kiddin'," retorted the countryman.
"Why, it's only 1905 now!"
Cruel Girl.
"This," remarked Mr. Sappyhedd,
"is my photograph taken with my two
French poodles. You recognize me,
eh?"
"I think so," said Miss Sulfuric.
"You are the one with the hat on, are
you not?"
We all guess at things, and, if they

Lingerie Waist Still on Tap.
All through the autumn, and even
during the winter months, fine ling
erie waists are to remain in vogue.
Later on, when it becomes colder,
thin linings of lawn or China silk will
be worn- underneath the bodice, but
these slips are so thin as to be
scarcely discernible. -
For winter a white or colored high
neck and long sleeve lining will be
necessary, but the waist itself re
mains the same a simple or elaborate
embroidered and lace-trimmed hand
kerchief linen bodice. A simple
morning costume of black cloth made
on severe lines will be rendered con
siderably smarter by a fine embroid
ered waist, while even with a hand
some afternoon costume an elaborate
bastiste waist may be worn occasion
ally. "
White lace waists are worn again
this autumn, but unless the lace can
be really good of its kind, and hence
the bodice an expensive one, a simpler'
style of waist is preferable. Two or
three differen t kinds of lace are now
effectively combined on the same
waist, and when a heavy and fine
lace -are employed at once, as Irish
point lace and delicate Valenoinnes,
the result is most attractive.
While embroidered waists are as
much in vogue as ever, elaborate in
sertions of lace are now as frequently
; seen alone as with the embroidered
?work. Hand sewing , is more than
ever in vogue, and while the seams of
a fine waist may be machine stitched,
all the tucks that bands of lace entre
deux must be added by hand.'. Open
.embroidery is perhaps the most popu
lar, while the waist of open English
: batiste embroidery is decidedly effec
tive, particularly when worn over a
slip of pale green or lilac or some
light, becoming shade.
Elaborate Empire Effect.
. The charms of the ..mpire mode are
delightfully depicted in a coat of a
soft white broadcloth. The conspicu
ously short-waisted body part and full
flowing1 skirts are particularly grace
ful upon a slender figure. Rather a
novelty is introduced in the ,use of
.embroideries applied in flounce de
sign, those furnishing a cape effect
over the shoulder, the accepted bolero
below, and likewise fashioning the
full and loose sleeve in double effect.
The capuchin hood is edged all around
with a box of plaited niching of vel
vet ribbon to match the cloth, and is
attached to the collar of the coat, so
that when not in use it hangs loosely
upon the shoulders, and adds to the
: smart effect. .
Old-Fashioned Pan Dcwdy.
Pare and quarter eight good-sized
apples,, tart ones; !lay in a deep dish,
sprinkle over one cup of sugar (if
molasses is preferred, use one cup,
pour over the apples), one teaspoon
ful cinnamon, a grating of lemon peel
or one teaspoonful.of, rose water, one
third cup of butter, broken in bits and
spread over the top. The crust: Into
two cups , of flour rub one tablespoon
ful of butter, add one tablespoonful
sugar, one-half teaspoonful salt and
two teaspoonfuls baking powder; mix
with one cup of milk or water; cover
the top with this crust, cut' airholes
'in the center and steam in a close ves
! sel for three-quarters to one hour.
Serve with a cream sauce or any pre
ferred way. ' ' ,
Apple Meringue.
Pare and co.-e six apples, stew till
soft, then stir in one tablespoonful of
butter; when cold add a cup of grated
bread crumbs, the yolks of two eggs,
a pinch of salt, one tablespoonful of
sugar and a small, cup of milk;' line
a pie plate with puff pastry, pour in
the mixture and bake till ready; beat
up the whites of the eggs still stiff,
add one tablespoonful of sugar, pile
on the top of the apples; place in the
oven to set, not brown.
You will notice that for nearly all
apple dishes the fruit has to be peeled
aaid cored. These cores and peelings,
which are nearly always thrown away,
;give a jelly which is nearly as good
:as that made from the fruit itself. :
Actual Shirt Waist Novelty.
Behold an actual novelty in shirt
jwaists! The newest- mannish waist
ihas taken unto itself a little rippling
peplum or basque not over two inches
deep. This is worn with a straight,
narrow belt. A wide stock of the same
material points down at the front and
is finished by a Toby frill. This is a
distinct innovation for the shirt waist.
Plain and colored ' linens, wash silks
and challies make up in this style
prettily for girls.
White Silk Waist.
Blouse .of white taffeta plaited at
the shoulders, where it -is trimmed
with little ruffles of the silk. ' It also
has a group of plaits in front, forming
a plastron trimmed with ruches of
the material and motifs of English
embroidery. j
The guimpe, or chimisette, is of
lace, also trimmed with the English
embroidery. The elbow sleeves are
trimmed to correspond.
,' : Embroidery for Gowns. ..';'"'
Coarse woolen embroidery is a fea
ture on some of the newest of the
gowns, which is easily copied, being
loosely put in with cross stitch or run
ning stitches, such as are used on
darned net. Some of them are done
on net, which is set in as an inser
tion, while some of it is done over
the cloth itself, a loose canvas' being
first laid over and then the threads
pulled out. One of . the costumes in
which the net was used was seen in
a princess gown of pale tan cloth, with
triangular insertions of the same col
ored net worked in wools in the
brown shades with a slender under
lining of black thread. There was a
small zouave of the embroidered net
and a touch of black velvet and of
pale blue about the neck. Cluny lace
dyed to the shade of the material is
also one of the features, of wool gowns .
Dress of White WooJ.
The skirt is made with a group of
fine . plaits at the top in front, bor
dered with box plaits, the latter orna
mented with buttons. The rest of
the skirt is gathered at the top and
encircled at the bottom with three
rows of soutache , '" '
' , The blouse is also made with box
plaits and fine plaits, and ornamented
with satouche and buttons. It is fin
ished around the neck with a shaped
band of the material edged with a lit
tle lace ruffle. The . short puffed
sleeves 'are finished in the same way.'
' Crochet Lace Bobs Into Favor.
The old packed away crocheted
-tidies and doylies may now pay a
modish role in decortlng gowns and
jackets! ' '" ; '' "- ,' "' '
A wide spreading collar of this de- .
scription, meeting under the chin and
the front edges flaring toward the
shoulders, was recently dipped into
weak tea till it reaehed a charming
ecru and then had the front edges
connected with straps of narrow' black
velvet, each one pointed in the mid
dle, simulating Vs. ' This was worn
over a house gown of i-id rose cash
mere, and was certainly a charming
addition.
The cuffs were fashioned from a
doily cut into halves, the widest part
sewn to the upper part of the arm.
The collar was of the deep yariety,
a round-shaped piece, and the border,'
which was the same width, slightly .
flared. Certainly such a set would
have cost $10 at least if bought at the
stores.
Newest Evening Wraps.
Many of the newest evening wraps
suggest the shawl of three cornered
shape and others are made upon lines
that would utilize the deep flouncing
of former lace "robes." One of these
ideas was carried out in black lace-'
over pale blue silk with thiffon inter
lining. It was of circular shape; end
ing in long points in front and" in the
middle of the back, and shallow on
the sides, exactly upon the lines of
one of the lace shawls which could be
arranged into the same kind of coat
without cutting or other manipulation
than a dart upon the shoulder for
bringing it up to the proper set in
front. A frill of white lace was laid
around tjie entire edge and underlaid
again with another of accordion plait- "
ed blue chiffon. The coat was finished
with blue chiffon ties. "''
Vogue of Contrasts. '.
The idea of contrast 'is emphasized
in a great many coats. ; Cuffs and col
lar sometimes will be made of con
trasting color, or perhaps only a deep-,
er shade of the color of the coat, but
deep enough for each, shade to be set
off by the other. Sometimes a tiny
vest almost a vestee is : introduced,
with its color scheme made up of in
teresting braids, made rich by a
thread or two of gold tangled up in
some mysterious way among the silk
en threads. A pale-blue coat the one
pictured) had for , if 8 trimming, blue
silk braid, a shade that matched the
foundation exactly,; with, a tiny line of
gold peeping out from each side of
the braid. The way it was done was
by simply setting a narrow gold braid
under the edge of the wide blue braid,
like a piping. ,
The One-Piece Dre-u.
Seasons come ar.d seasons go, but
the popularity of the -one-piece dress
for little' girls remains the same. In
winter these practical modes' are' al-(
ways desirable. One mode has deep
plaits in both back and front, which
allow of graceful fujlness in' the skirt
section. The sleeve is : of 'the simple
one-piece variety and the trimming , is
effected by means of shaped . straps .
and small pearl buttons. Henrietta,
f Bergey challle or any of the soft win
ter materials are suggested. Size 8 .
years requires, five yards of twenty
seven-inch material. , ...
