Union Buyers' League
"Just put my name down on that
Union Buyers' League business," is a
remark made to the editor of The
Wageworker every day.
The editor politely but firmly de
clines. If you haven't got enough in
terest in the label movement to sign
one of the blank pledges and send it
in, you need not expect the editor to
do it for you. You are just as much
interested as he in the success of the
label campaign, and it is up to you to
manifest your interest by using your
lead pencil a minute. The list of sig
natures continues to grow, but it still
lacks a whole lost of being up to the
required 250 mark. Originally The
Wageworker declared that it would not
print the list, of signers until 250 had
been received, but it has ben decided
to begin publication at once in the
hope that such action will stir up
greater interest. The following have
signed and sent in pledges:

THE FULTONS.
Continue to Attract Large Audiences
i
and Give Great Satisfaction.
The Fulton Stock Co. continues to
attract large and well pleased audi
ences and this summers' engagement
promises to greatly eclipse the remark
ably successful engagement last sum
mer. The presentation of "Carmen"
last week brought to the company
great praise. "The Belle of Richmond"
closes this week's bill. This is one of
the very best offerings of this com
pany. Mr. Jess Fulton sustained a severe
sprain of the ankle last January and
since then has been suffering consid
erably. Last week the injury became
much worse and as a resulf he has
been compelled to take a lay-off and
go to a local hospital for repairs. His
host of friends will anxiously await
his reappearance and are a unit in ex
pressing the hope that his injury will
soon be healed.
A FOOL CLERK.
A clerk in a local shoe store was
asked by a woman customer to show
her some labeled shoes. He replied
that he didn't think they had any
thing that would suit her in labeled
goods, and added: "Besides, you'll
have to pay more for them because
they cost us more. You can get a bet
ter shoe for less money." The woman
declined to buy and went to another
store where the clerks are of a higher
order of intelligence.
THAT DIRECTORY CASE.
The Polk-McAvoy Directory Co. is
still fighting shy of bringing its suit
against Adam Schaupp to trial. It has
taken another postponement until June
22. In the meanwhile it. is attempting
to prevent the new local directory
company from interfering with its
work here. But the local company is
going ahead with its preparations and
will get out a reliable city directory
that will be printed by local mechanics
and the money all kept at home.

A Board of Trade Brokei
STORY OF A LITTLE BIT 07
HEART.
Business on the board had been.dul
for months. Dick Ransome, whos
specialty was - filling orders for a
brokerage, had felt the dullness keen
ly. For a long time no luxuries had
been possible in his little home; in
deed, it took him all his time to pro
vide it with the necessities of life.
The wheat market, which had beoi
declining hopeiessly for many week
smashed two cents the previous day
He thought he saw evidences of ;
rally. It might not advance more thai
a cent or two and it might not last
but his intuition told him that an ad
vance was probable that day. He
went to a customer and advised him
to buy. The customer declined, but
authorized him to buy some "calls,"
good for the day 10,000 at 77, the
market for wheat being 77.
The usual sellers of "puts and calls"
being absent from their posts at the
moment, Dick thought he would await
their return. So he sat down beside
a white-haired old man well along in
the 70s. The old man was a trader in
a small way, as thin as a match,
nervous and weak, for he had been
out of a hospital only a few days after
two months' sickness. The board was
no place for him. He had no home
and no income except the pittance
made from time to time through his
petty transactions.
Dick asked him idly what he
thought of the market.
"Going lower," said the old man.
"Well," said Dick, "I want to buy
10,000 calls for to-day at 77."
Sold!" said "the old' man.
Dick handed him ten dollars, and
the transaction to that extent was
completed.
A moment later there was a terrible
clamor. Traders rushed at one another
like madmen. A hundred hands were
Va the air, a hundred voices shrieked
nd implored. The great mass of fran
tic men swayed hither and thither.
Some one shrieked: "There's no
wheat for sale!" The din increased.
Suddenly a new figure appeared at
the edge of the pit and raised his hand,
Almost instantly the clamor ceased. In
a cool, clear voice, he said: "I'll sell
100,000 wheat at 79."
There was a momentary gasp and
then a rush which almost carried him
oil his feet. The clamor was renewed.
Scores of voices shrieked: "I'll take
50,000! "I'll take 100,000!" "I'll take
25,000!"
The price rose to 79, 79. The
frantic demand was still unsatisfied.
Ther. the gong rang and the session
was over.
Dick looked for the old nan and
found him in the same seat. But how
changed! His head was sunk on his
breast, his poor lips were trembling,
his moist eyes were fixed on vacancy,
and his long, thin white hair straggled
pathetically over his coat collar. rDick
touched his shoulder gently. The old
man started and stared at him and
made a pitiful attempt at a smile.
"Mr. Clair," he said, "I did not use
th 10,000 calls bought from you;
only wanted 10,000, an order from a
customer, and I find I got them on an
offer from another party, so if you'll
give me back the ten dollars, we'll
cross the "deal and call it square."
The old man straightened himself
he was r. d.and Army man and said:
."V'ou c; uld use them yourself and
make 5200."
"No," said Dick; "I haven't been
speculating lately and don't propose
beginning now. 1 can't speculate and
do my brokerage customers justice."
"All right," said the old man, and
his look of relief warmed Dick's heart.
That night, with his two-year-old
child on his lap, Dick related the cir
cumstances to his wife, of whose
tongue he was slightly afraid. When
he got through she exclaimed: "Do you
mean to say that, had you held the
o'.d man to his contract! you would
have made for yourself $200 without
running any risk?"
"Yes," said Dick, genially.
Her face hardened and then she
said, coldly: "I hate a fool!"
"What do you mean?" asked Dick.
"Don't you sympathize with the old
man ?"
"What do I care for him? I haven't
had a new dress lor a year. Winter
is coming on, baby needs a warm
cloak and you need an overcoat. That
$200 would have supplied all our wants,
pnd now you have fooled it away.
Sympathy! I believe in looking out
tor myself."
At bedtime Dick bent over the little
girl's crib,, put his face close to hers
and whispered: "Baby, darling, I could
not take the old man's money; his
poor face would have haunted me. Oh)
baby dear, his feeble hands, his white
liair, his tremulous mouth, his pov
erty! Had you seen him, even you
would have understood. But, baby
darMng, you shall have your cloak
and shall be warm."
She opened her eyes, put her hand
o:i his face and said, drowsily: "Kiss
me, papa," turning her soft lips toward
him.
' When his wife came ' in he said:
"My dear, I'll sleep on the side of the
bed next baby's crib."
Her voice hardened and she replied:
"I shall sleep next my own. baby!"
"My dear," he said. Something in
the ;one of his voice caused her to
look at him, and on his face was an
expression she had never seen there
before. The boyish look was gone, the
eyes glistened and she felt she was
looking at a man who had found him
self and his rights.
In the darkness Dick's wife lay star
ing into the night wondering at the
change in blm and coming nearer to
loving him than ever before. Chicago

UNFAIR BARS.
Three on the List and They Should Be
Borne in Mind.
There are three non-union bars in
Lincoln. The Lincoln hotel bar has
been unfair for a long. time. Leonard
Bauer, corner Tenth. 'and P, and Kelly
& Huber, & street between Ninth and
Tenth, are also unfair. The boycott
is illegal and should not be resorted to
under any circumstances. But if the
boycott were not illegal it would not
be out of place in these three instances.
The Wageworker believes that these
three non-union bars would be boy
cotted if it were not illegal. As it is
they will merely be passed up by union
men who believe in patronizing their
friends.
If there is anything The Wage-
worker prides itself on it is its- un
swerving observance of the law.
