Sunday Barber Shops Mean Sunday
Work in Other Lines.
' Workingmen In all lines of business
mechanics, . artisans, clerks should
wake up to the fact that the re-estab
lishment of Sunday barber shops
means Sunday work in all other lines.
This is a bad time to talk about in
creasing the number of hours of work
per week. The teneency Is In - the
other direction, and the wage earner
who deliberately or carelessly allows
this tendency to be overcome is foolish
in the extreme.

cure a small fee, have expressed a
willingness to undertake the job of
smashing the anti-Sunday shop ordi
nance, and of course they insist that
they can do it. The Barbers' Union

Label League meets on the second and
fourth Mondays of each month. The
Central Labor Union meets- on the
second and fourth Tuesdays. Now. do
not forget these dates. These two or
ganizatlons do not always meet on
consecutive nights. It depends on
whether the second Monday and the
second Tuesday of the month fall on
consecutive nights. They do not al
ways do it. Every third month brings
a change.
Now' keep these facts in mind. The
Wageworker Is going to try it from
now on, and will endeavor to make no
more mistakes.
The Label League meets next Mon
day night, and the Central Labor
Union meets next Tuesday night. At
tend them both if you caa.

Business Picking Up a Little After a
Period of Dullness.-
Business with the Clgarmakers ta
picking up a little after a period of
comparative dullness. In the mean
while the label campaign has been
progressing steadily. The CigarmaU-
ers point with pride to the fact that
they spend ir'ore money pushing the
lfbt'l tiian any other organization i::
the city. ' '
The Omaha plan of pushing the de
mand for union made cigars may be
tried In the near future. This consists
in a series of "smokers" given by the
local union where union made cigars
are provided and two or three timely
talks on unionism made. The plan
has worked good results in Omaha
where the membership has been
doubled Inside of a year.
The Cigarmakera are willing to do
their part towards building a Labor
Temple, but are somewhat divided as
to the proper plan of procedure.

a substantial increase, which was fully
deserved. The V. N. U. work Is a
"sweat" for fair. The feeders went to
Manager Julian a few days ago and
presented their claims. He said he
would look into the matter, and he did.
After some consultation and investiga
tion the matter was amicably adjusted,
the increase granted and the cylinders
sang "It Is Good to Be a Union Man."
The Pressmen are having a better
attendance at union meetings since the
fine for absence was tacked on.
The Wageworker's detective has
been doing a little "sleuthing" in
press room circles. He finds that a
let of the boys are wearing "scab"
clothing and a number of them em
ploying "scab" workmen in the build
ing trades.
Phin White is back at the business
again for good, he says. He Is will
ing to let the other fellows try the

cation and rest up a while before tak
ing his new "sit.", Brooks has been
with No. 106 a long while and has
helped put the-local where it is today.
