EARNING ITS SUBSIDY.
A morning newspaper whose man
agement owns stock in the Lincoln
Traction company occasionally prints
paragraphs to the effect that the
Motormen's and Conductors' Union is
figuring on making some demands and
enforcing them with a strike. There
is nothing in it, but thu organ must do
something ot earn its money. The
union is neither contemplating mak
ing demands nor going out on strike.
It is attending strictly to the work of
organization, and is growing at a sat
isfactory rate.
WISE TO THE GAME.
Country Printers Not Biting at Offers
From the Cities.
In a recent trip over into good old
Iowa the writer saw other things than
big corn fields, pastures of hogs and
cattle and waving meadows. . In the
little city of Corning he visited the
printing offices and found gratifying
conditions. Of course there is no
union of printers in Corning (that is,
they hold no charter), but there are
men there who have held active cards,
in some instances allowing them to
lapse. However, their hearts are in
the right place, and when the city
proprietors undertake to induce them
to leave their country positions and
bscome strike-breakers they get sadly
left. One printer told me he had been
getting letters from Omaha and Des
Moines proprietors. for several months
in which they had tried to induce 'him
to accept lucrative positions. He was
next to their game and passed them
up. The country printer who is pos
sessed of enough intelligence to be of
any service to the city proprietor, who
now is in such dire straits, has too
much intelligence to be taken in by
such fake allurements. And there you
are.
The proprietor of one of the Corning
papers is an old friend of our John D.
(Pocahontas) Smith of the Journal
chapel. His name is Charles Gray.
He served as printers' devil with
Smith when the latter was a country
publisher in Iowa, "befo' the wah,"
later becoming a union printer and
somewhat of a roadster, workin? in
several western cities. Mr. Gray now
edits the Corning postoffice along with
other duties.
Returning, I made a short stop in
Council Bluffs, where things printorial
were found to be running smoothly.

Since leaving Lincoln Dick has taken
unto himself a wife and declares that
his days of touring are over. Miss
Ethel Thorngate, at one time ' proof
reader on the Evening News, is now
reading on the Evening Nonpareil.
George White, a member of the Lin
coln Stereotypers' Union, is also hold
ing down a sit on the Nonpareil.
Joe Hatch, by the way, is now head
machinist on the Nonpareil, having
gone there from Sioux City last Mon
day. Bluff City Union has signed up
the eight-hour day with all the shops.
The Journal book men have been
putting in some strenuous days of
late. They have just finished resetting
le entire directory for the Nebraska
Telephone company. The book will
be issued in new form. The boys are
now nopeful that they may have the
Saturday half-holiday the remainder
of the summer, instead of working the
six full days, with overtime for good
measure.
George Locker of the News is sore
ly vexed at the outcome of his agricul
tural pursuits in Printerville. George
is known to have his unionism with
him at all times, and when he began
using potatoes out of his garden a few
days ago and found them "scabby" he
was disgusted.

STREAK OF BAD LUCK.
Several Bad Accidents Come in a
Bunch for Burlington Trainmen.
July 4 a couple of Burlington trains
ran together at Marsland, resulting
in the death of Harry Gregg and John
Ritchie. Thomas Campbell and C. M.
McCracken were seriously injured.
The scene of the wreck is in Dawes
county, and traffic was delayed several
hours. '
The next day Elmer Cole was killed
near Fremont. All the men killed and
injured were well known in Lincoln.
THIRD ANNIVERSARY.
Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Turner Celebrate
With the "Onion Club."
Friday evening, July 6, Mr. and Mrs.
C. H. Turner celebrated the third an
niversary of their marriage by enter
taining the "Onion Club" at military
high five, winding up with the usual
feast provided when the club meets.
The rooms were prettily decorated
with the national colors and a salute
of one gun started the card players.
Mr. and Mrs. Turner made a record
as entertainers. A feature of the even
ing was a "towel shower," which was
sprung as a joke, but which was heart
ily appreciated by the hostess.
HE FIGURES RIGHT.
President Droppers, of the Univer
sity of South Dakota says: "You can
put me down as in favor of the eight
hour day in all purely mechanical in
dustries. I once visited a Fall River
cotton mill, and I came to the conclu
sion that the demand for more than
eight hours' work from a man or
woman working in these mills was
without any excuse. Where people
are absolutely bound to a machine of
any kind, where the work is of a repe
tition, without any opening ot interest
in it, eight hours is certainly all suf
ficient."
IMPROVING RAPIDLY.
John Kelsey, son of T. C. Kelsey,
who was so seriously Injured by a pre
mature explosion on July 4, is getting
along even better than was hoped for.
It is now believed that he will retain
his eyesight, although his eyes will be
weak all of his life. The terrible cut
on his face is healing rapidly and so
far there are ho bad signs manifest.
The young fellow is bearing his in
juries heroically and has uttered no
complaints.
