LABOR'S WATCHWORD.
We wSit stand by our friends and ad
minister a stinging rebuke to men or
parties who are either indifferent, neg
ligent or hostile, and. whenever oppor
tunity affords, secure the election of
intelligent, honest, earnest trade union
ists, with clear, unblemished, paid-up
union cards in their possession.
. THE LABOR FAIR.
Let it be admitted now,, once for
all and without equivocation, that the
labor fair has been a dismal failure.
Everybody but the union men and
women of the city have done their
full duty. Enterprising merchants
have spent from, $25 to $100 in fitting
up handsome booths to show their
good will for union labor and union
labor has failed to respond. With
stomachs well filled and a warm bed
to sleep in at night, the workingmen
most of them care for nothing more.
Gentlemen the great American hog
gets that much out of life! (
During the first two nights of the
labor fair, with America's greatest
orator and the governor of the state
billed to speak to say nothing of a
vaudeville show better than the aver
age presented by the theaters the
total attendance of union men was
less than 200, and the tota.1 attendanc
less than 350.
Less than one-half the union men
who promised faithfully to serve on
committees have responded, either by
work or attendance. Not one union
man in thirty has helped the fair by
attending.
This editorial is written while the
third night's program is being carried
out. , If the last three nights of the
fair are to be Judged by the first three
nights, there will ' be no more labor
fairs in Lincoln; there will never be
a labor temple in Lincoln, and organ
ized labor will be laughed at when: it
lays claim to recognition. For this
state of affairs union workmen have
only themselves to blame.
If one-half the union men of this
city and vicinity had attended one or
two nights, paying the nominal admis
sion fee, the fair would have been a
glorious success. As it is, the fair is
a failure. . There is no use trying to
conceal this fact. A handful of earn
est, loyal union men have worked
night and day to make it a success,
and for their labor and their expense
they are rewarded by a failure and
all because a lot of well fed working
men are too negligent of their duty
to do their share.
The Central Labor Union, which
financed the fair, will not lose money.
That matter was taken up before the
fair opened. But some one is going
to lose money and that some one is
a man who pinned too much faith on
the loyalty and enterprise of Lincoln
unionists. He doesn't regret the money
ho has losf one-third as much as he
regrets the fact that his faith in the
zeal, the enterprise and the unionism
of Lincoln mechanics has been de
stroyed. The faithful few will be
rewarded by the consciousness that
they have done their whole duty, and
that is reward enough.
There seems to be but one thing
that will make union men sit up and
take notice to be forced to live in
idleness and Buffering for a few
months. When workingmen are idle
and suffering there is no difficulty in
getting them to take interest in union
matters. Well employed and well fed
seems to make them forget.
The Wageworker is just as anxious
as it can be to arouse interest in union
matters, but its anxiety has not yet
reached the point when it would have
that interest aroused at the expense
of the comfort of our wives and our
little ones. But Just as sure as the
sun rises in the morning and sets in !
the evening, the time will come when
the careless and indifferent union men
of today will regret that they did not
take advantage of the golden oppor
tunities that surround them today.
THAT CHICAGO DISGRACE.
Organized labor is once more called
upon to endure a stigma placed upon
it by men who profess to be leaders.
The Chicago affair is another black
eye for industrial organization'. It is
a set-back that organized labor will
not be able to overcome for a decade.
Once more men elevated to leader
ship in the union movement have be
trayed their trust, sold out those who
trusted them and lined their pockets
with gains that are as dishonest yea,
more so as the gains of the man who
knocks down little children and robs
them of their pennies, or loots the
bank in which widows and orphans
have deposited their little savings. For
the next ten years those who preach
the doctrines of labor unionism will
be met with sneers and jeers and will
be asked to explain the nasty deals of
the Sheas and the Youngs in Chicago.
The only answer is that Shea and
Young were just ordinary human be
ings but that answer will not satisfy
the public. Organized labor must make
a better showing than organized cap
ital in order to secure the same con
sideration. One dishonest labor leader
attracts more attention and denuncia:
tion than a dozen dishonest bankers,
a score of discredited ministers of the'
gospel or an hundred crooked public
officials. One Con Shea can do more
injury than a thousand Gompers and
Mitchells and Perkins can overcome
in a decade. And those dishonest
Chicago teamsters, while profiting per
sonally by their crookedness, have
done a lasting injury to hundreds of
thousands of honest, sincere and faith
ful trades unionists. If organized
labor were measured by the ordinary
yardstick it-would not be so bad. But
unfortunately it is not. The public
is looking for opportunities to de
nounce and discredit the labor organi
zations, and God knows the public too
often finds what it seeks. It is enough
to make the most optimistic trades
unionist lose courage. r. ' .
But we'll have to stick to it, boys.
We'll have to live down the disgrace
by acting square, dealing righteously
and showing by our works that we
believe in our cause.
Senator Beveridge has introduced
his child labor bill, and the eminent
senators elected to represent special
interests that profit from chill labor
will proceed to prove that the bill is
un-American and unconstitutional.
"Please accept my thanks for the
magnificent way in which organized
labor rallied to the support of your
labor fair. . Such united support helps
our cause along wonderfully:" David
M. Parry. :
brganized labor rallied to the sup
port of the labor fair just like It
raillied to the support of the union
men who were candidates for the leg
islature. " Private reports from New York are
to the effect that Charles W. Post is
delighted with the success achieved
by the Lincoln, labor fair.
President Roosevelt's remarks on
labor in his annual message may be of
the right sort provided one knows
what he means.
LOST: A golden opportunity to
advance the cause of unionism by
neglecting to make the labor fair a
huge success.
Step into the Lincoln Telephone
company's booth at? the Labor Fair
and call .up your friends free over a
union made telephone. Use the Auto
matic.
It takes something more than "hot
air to make a labor fair a success
or elect union men to the legislature.
There are 2.500 card men in Lin
coln and vicinity. This considerably
more than the number of union men.
The man who uses the Automatic
gets a rich man's phone at a ' poor
man's price. Use the Automatic.
If you did not attend the fair you
can at least come along by demanding
the union label. .
The labor fair was a great success
up to the hour of opening the doors!
Watch for the big show at the Bijou
next week. All big acts.
