The printers In the Herald office went from the ten-hour day to the nine-hour day as soon as Mr. Howard took charge. And he is willing to make it eight-hours as soon as local conditions warrant it. In his speech in the United States senate on the provision in the Urgent, deficiency bill abolishing the provi sions of the eight-hour law on the canal Senator Patterson, of Colorado, said: "What It all means in plain, brutal English, is that there is being prepared on the isthmus a slaughter house for aliens, and that the canal is to be built at a fearful cost, not only of money, but of life." The Brewery Workers of Cleveland have secured a three years agreement. The foremen receive an increase of $1 per week and overtime raised from one und one-time time to 50 cents an hour.

LET LABOR. BEWARE. 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. A few cheap1 lawyers, anxious to .se 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 will leave no stono unturned to defeat the Sunday shop pronation, and it deserves the cordial'' vof every union in the city. ;? ig of the barber shops on 1 aid be step backwards: '. V MIXED TOO OFTEN. And This Should Straighten Things Out a Little Bit. The Wageworker Is continually get ting mixed on the dates for the meet ings of the- Central Labor Union and the Woman's Label League. The 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. THE CIGAR MAKERS.

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 driving snow storm succeeding the balmy afternoon failed to break up the meeting until the regular time of ad journment about 5 o'clock. Mrs. Uhlman, one of the members- elect, was unable to be present at the last meeting ov. account of Illness. Miss Ella Kirby of Omaha is visit ing her cousin. Miss Hazel Smith, 1404 R street.

Mrs. Sayer and Mrs. Radebach held a few sessions in Printerville Wednesday. with a full supply of phonograph cylin ders. They have been rehearsing for a long while and King is actually able to reproduce the fine tones of, Her mann's violin. Vice-President Bridges sat in the seat of honor last Friday night and the way he '"lined 'em up" was good to see. The Pressmen are very much pleas ed with The Wageworker and think it has done more to strengthen union ism in Lincoln than any other agency. It has been an educational influence long needed, both in and out of the ranks of unionism They wish It in creasing success. The Pressmen are ready to take hold and do their share of the work on a Labor Temple project: When a girl is pretty it is a sign she will believe you if you tell her she is prettier. Anyway, it doesn't take a boy as long to unlearn as it does to learn his college education. The kind of education a man gets by experience is no good to him be cause everybody has it. A girl never thinks a photograph of her is good unless it looks like some picture she saw in a novel. THE PRESSMEN. .Brief Bits From the Best Part of the Typographical Union. The meeting with Mrs. Fred Mickel last Friday, was well attended and full of the usual interest. ' Two new mem bers, Mrij. Worlty an'd "Mrs,-.(Klnkaid, Ji.AU.'.

The boys in the Western Newspaper Union press room are rejoicing over 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 other jobs, for he knows when he has short hours and good pay. He Is now regular at the Free Press. Herb Brooks is going to take a va 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. The boys, will "mips him when he is gone.-:' ., . .. .-,.'. It is reported that Secretary Wergef and Treasurer King will soon -appear , -V. - V - r ' - A.. :,- - j : ' i- ' , . JOURNAL CHAPEL. News From . the Big Shop on the Corner. Tom Dunn, who has been working on the night shift, was pulled over to the clay side and says he likes the change. Thomas Connelly, of the book side, has been working overtime with his chickens. ' ' "A good mixer Is all right in politics or a bi.keshop, but woefully out of place in the printshop." A "day-sider" on the News was heard to remark Jthe next day after the Sunday election of officers that when so many good fellows waut office it is really embarrassing for the voter to make a choice. The Journal book chapel has little use for the "knocker,- - Kouse mil him! . . Editor Vealh of the Havelock Times visited the Journal composing room this week. ' , . ;. Henry Bingamari is the latest, ad junct to Printerville. Mr. Bingaman has commenced the erection of a neat house on the four lots purchased re cently at Twenty-second and Cliaton avenue. Someihing like four or five candi dates from the Journal building have announced themselves for the dele gateship to the international conven tion to be held at Colorado Springs in August. Some of the boys believe that the tall boy will knock the per simmon, while others are sanguine that a dark horse will be victorious. Has your spring suit got the label on it? v A girl likes to have you tell her that her eyes are like stars almost as much as that her hair ripples. Trvlnz to keen un annearances 'has kept taany a man down. We all have our trials, but not half enough of us are convicted. . The listener who wants to hear good of himself can talk Into a phonograph. It generally happens that the play ViTight who makes bad plays makes good. A girl's musical education i3 never complete until she learns when not to sing. When fortune knocks at the door the wolf still hangs around to see if you are going to answer. A girl naturally hates to break off an engagement to which her parents have been opposed from the start.
