TEENTH STREET.
There have been many attempts
made In Lincoln to furnish good, first
class eating that will suit people who
like good, pure food cooked without
frills or unnecessary finish. One es
tablishment in particular has met this
demand,which fact is attested by the
continuous patronage of the people of
this city and surrounding country the
Cafe and Dairy lunch room of E. W.
Jewett, located at 143 South ' Thir
teenth street. Mr. Jewett especially
caters to the fine taste of ladies and
gentlemen in an excellently appointed
cafe. This establishment made its
apperance with a continuous menu

demand of the people. He has a warm

STAR VAN AND STORAGE CO.,
THIRTEENTH AND N STREETS.
In giving a review of the business
firms friendly to union labor we take
great pleasure in devoting some space
to the Star Van & Storage Co. Few
branches of commercial enterprise are
more important or representative than
that of the transfer company. The
transfer service in any city has much
to do with trade and commerce. If
inferior the wheels of industry are
clogged and traffic, in a business sense,
seriously impeded. Travelers especial
ly find seriousinconveniences when
transfer service is inadequate. All
these' annoyances speedily disappear
with the advent of the Star Van &
Storage Co. Delays so common be
fore are things this company re
moved. Today a telephone call to
Why Union Men Should Buy
Their Pianos of Us
Auto phone 3278 or Bell phone 213
brings a wagon to your door. Calls
are made to any part of the city for
baggage. This company hauls large
freight, moves household goods, stores,
packs and ships furniture and pianos,
and delivers merchandise to and from
depots and make piano moving a spec
ialty, and, in fact, have brought the
transfer business in Lincoln to a high
degree of perfection. They have just
added a new coal department, to which
they are giving their closest attention.
At their recent annual meeting they
elected officers as follows: J. R. Bur
leigh, president; L. C. Oberlies, vice
president; August Hagenow, treas
urer; I. H. Loper, secretary. This
company has been in business four
years.
Vandalia Gets Shaking Up.
A special from Vandalia, 111., says
every building in Vandalia was shaken
by an earthquake at 11:30 Tuesday
night. Many persons were aroused
from deep sleep. The shock was ac
companied by a loud rumbling.
HEWS OF THE LABOR WORLD
Items of Genera! Interest for the Busy Work
ingman and His Friends.
St. Paul, Minn. St. Paul printers
have started a movement to secure a
state printing plant for Minnesota.
Philadelphia. Textile workers have
begun a movement in Kensington and
other sections of the city to obtain
higher wages.
London. Keir Hardie is organizing
a British Agricultural Labor League
on the lines of the union founded by
Joseph Arch in 1872.
New York. Thei police have
formed an organization to secure the
eight-hour day. They are asking the
assistance of the union men.
Boston. A national union of wire
workers is suggested by the Boston
local of that craft, and it has elected
a committee to work to that end.
St. Louis. The St. Louis, Rocky
Mountain & Pacific-Coal company has
increased the wages ofHts miners and
other employes in New Mexico 16 per
cent.
Philadelphia. Pennsylvania will
have a child labor law which will be
effective," if the bill presented to the
legislature of that state is enacted
into a law.
Los Angeles, Cal. Organized labor
is planning to establish a bank. It
will be financed and operated wholly
by trades unionists. It is proposed to
place the institution in the new labor
temple.
Charleroi, Belgium. The coal min
ers' strike is extending as a result of
a meeting held in the' darkness' in
order to prevent the identification'' of
the orators who urged the audience
to kill strike-breakers.
Los Angeles, Cal. The Upholsterers'
union has obtained an increase in
wages in every furniture house in this
city. The union is very strong and is
doing a good work for organized labor
in the southern part of the state.
Boston. The street car men's state
convention, held in this city, decided
to make the request for a nine-hour
law. Patrick J. Sheehan, of Brockton,
was elected state president, and Wil
liam J. Walsh, of Quincy, was reelect
ed state secretary.
Berlin. A bill has been introduced
in the Reichstag which proposes to
alter the law with regard to trade
unions. It is a permissive bill to en
able trade societies to register them
selves and thereby acquire the status
of corporations, to be able "to sue and
to be sued." The chief purpose is to
get legal ground for attaching the
trade union funds.
Chicago. During the panic of 1893
and 1894 three trade unions of this
city gave more aid to their members
than all the charitable institutions in
the city .combined gave to the home
less poor. According to the officers of
the charities, few, if any, trade union
ists asked for aid. This was because
the union man learned independence
and would not beg. He would only ac
cept money from his union, money
paid in by the members and given
with the understandinthat the recip
ient was entitled to it.
Boston. An agreement has been
reached between the executive com
mittee of the United Typothetae of
America and the executive council of
the International Pressmen and- As
sistants' union, renewing the present
contract for a term of five years. Up
on the leading question at issue, the
eight-hour day, a compromise was
reached, by which the typothetae
agrees to grant the eight-hour day, be
ginning January 1, 1909. A slight in
crease in wages for some lines of
work goes into effect this year.
Pittsburg, Pa. By a referendum
vote the Brotherhood of Painters' lo
cals have accepted the employers' pro
posal of 40 cents an hour for an eight
hour day and car fare for 1907. This
is the old scale, but some of the union
ists favored 45 cents an hour, while
still others voted for 50 cents.
London. The action instituted by
the Miners' Federation of Great Brit
ain to recover damages from the Unit
ed National collieries, Wallstown, on
behalf of the victims in the recent ex
plosion, has been amicably settled, the
company agreeing to pay $35,000, in
cluding costs, in excess of the amounts
recoverable under compensation. This
guarantees to each widow $2,500.
Washington. The third report on
Hawaii, printed in the "Bulletin of
Labor" No. 66, .contains information
which may prove interesting to the
seamen of the United States. Inter
island traffic is almost entirely in the
hands of a single shipping combine,
which was formed bjr the union of two
companies, but not competitively, until
June, 1905. In this combine the Amer
ican seaman has no place whatever,
and the Hawaiian seamen have been
almost wholly replaced by Japanese.
Washington. The department of
justice has decided that railroad
workers are in the unskilled labor
class, and cannot be imported into the
United States under the alien , con
tract law.
London. The Amalgamated Soci
ety of Railway Servants, representa
tives of all the railroad trade unions
In England, has approved the national
program, and the executive officers
propose to present the uemand simul
taneously to all the companies next
year. The chief demands are an
eiht-hour day, higher wages and
recognition of the society:
Spokane. Hindoo laborers driven
out of British Columbia have begun to
flock into Washington seeking for
work. The immigration officers, faced
with a probable influx of clannish for
eigners who are not wanted, are help
less to prevent their coming, for the
Hindoos have money enough to guar
antee their present needs.
Budapest. Owing to a threatened
strike of farm laborers in the county
of Bekes, Hungary, the agricultural
society of that district has decided
unanimously in the event of the labor
ers proving obstinate, to hire 20,000
Chinese coolies to replace them. It
is extremely doubtful, however, that
the government will permit such a
step. - ,
Boston. Trades unionists are much
dissatisfied with the operation of the
eight-hour law in this city. At a
meeting it was declared that the law
is practically ineffective on the most
important points it is supposed to
cover. It was decided at this meet
ing to employ attorneys to bring civil
action against the m city contractors
who are violating the .statute.
Chicago. The joint conference
board of the international unions in
the printing trades have invited the
lithographers to join that body. The
board held a meeting in Indianapolis
and prepared an. agreement Which
will be submitted to the unions inter
ested for approval This provides for
rules governing the membership of
the five unions.
Berlin. Whereas, in the seventies
of last century, the 12-hour day was
the rule in the building trade in Ger
many, there were, in 1895, already 436
towns with a ten-hour day, 103 with
10 hours, 818 with 11 hours and 85
with more than 11 hours. In 1905
there were 247 towns with a nine-hour
day, 293 with nine and one-half hours,
7,643 with ten hours, 1,453 with 10
hours, 3,524 with 11 . hours, and only
147 with over 11 hours. , '
Washington. Thomas J. Dolan, gen
eral secretary-treasurer "of the Nation
al Brotherhood of Steam Shovel and
Dredge Men, with headquarters at
Chicago, called on the isthmian canal
commission and presented the request
for a revision of wages of the steam
shovel men at work on the canal. The
following increases were asked: En
gineers, from $220 to $300 per month;
cranemen, , from $190 to $250 per
month; firemen, from $80 to $110 per
month.
Springfield. W. D. Mahon of De
troit, international president of the
street car men, will attend . the ses
sions "of the Illinois state legislature
to look after the interests of his mem
bers. The legislature has several
bills before it which the labor men
desire enacted into law. The em
ployers' liability bill is probably the
most important to ( the' street, and
steam railroad men, and they are
urging its passage. The street car
men have a strong lobby at Spring
field. -
Ottawa, Canada. Rudolph Lemieux
recently introduced a bill in parlia
ment to prevent strikes in all public
utilities, such as street railways, coal
mines, steamship lines, and steam rail
roads. The bill empowers the minis
ter of labor to order an investigation
when disputes arise between labor
and capital, and pending this investi
gation work must proceed. The strike
or lockout must terminate after the
award has been made, and it will be
left to public opinion to have it en
forced. i
Chicago. Several of the labor
unions of this city have taken action
favoring the restoration of the army
canteen. At a meeting of the car
penters it was resolved ."that the de
privation of the soldiers of their can
teen privileges was a class of slavery
that should be deplored by every liberty-loving
American."
Chicago. The conference between
the general managers of the western
railroads and the locomotive engi
neers ended with the annoucement
that the railroads had agreed to an
advance in wages for the engineers.
The increase will affect between 15,
000 and 20,000 engineers on all rail
roads west of Chicago to the Pacific
coast, north to the Canadian border
and south to the Gulf of Mexico. The
advance will apply to all classes of
engineers. On passenger locomotives
the engineers will receive a five-cent
increase on a 100-mile run. On freight
engines the increase will range be
tween eight and twelve cents per 100
miles. In all the larger freight yards
the switch engineers will receive ad
ditions of from 50 to 75 cents a day,
with the assurance that they shall not
be kept out more than 12 hours.
New York. J. Pierpont Morgan be
lieves in a short workyear. While he
has opposed the short workday for
workmen he takes three months every
year to rest up. Here is what he says
about it, himself y "I find I can do a
year's work in nine months, but that I
cannot do 12 months' work in a year."
The labor papers are now paraphras
ing this by saying: "A man can do
ten hours' work In eight, but he can
not do teffi hours' work In ten." This
may not have occurred to Mr. Mor
gan at times in the past when he was
refusing to grant a shorter workday to
his employes.
EXPERT 8EES FAULTS IN MOD
ERN HOUSEKEEPING.
Women of Chicago are Said to Spend
an Enormous Amount Needlessly
Old-Fashioned Methods Got
the Best Results.
Chicago housekeepers waste nearly
$200,000,000 every year. The exact
figures, taken- from commercial reports,
and the percentages of waste, calcu
lated by domestic - science experts,
show that $193,140,000 is lost annually
by careless buying, unscientific cook
ing and other domestic extravagances.
The School of Domestic Science
sums up the causes under several
heads." Among these the half-dozen
following are selected by the Chicago
Tribune as the most prominent: ,
1. Buying provisions by order and
telephone Instead of seeing them. .
2. Buying prepared foods. ;
3. Buying fruits and vegetables out
of season.
4. Taking goods as offered by deal
ers instead of insisting on quantities,
brands and cuts wanted.
' 5. Loss on deight, wrappings and
attractive, glasses, cans, etc., in which
food is put up.
6. Lack of 'expert knowledge ot
cuts of meat and how to cook least ex
pensive things to bring out food values
and good taste.
"The thing which the average house
keeper figures upon as most import
ant now is her time," said Miss Ly
ford of the School of Domestic Science. .
"When she buys so as to save this
she has to figure against It not only
loss of money, but loss" of . nourish
ment. Again, you have to figure if it ,
isn't better to spend more money to
get more nourishment."
. Of the gain in the old-fashioned
plan of going to market instead of or
dering by telephone or by the "order
boy, the women of the school cannot
speak too strongly. Said Mrs. Wag
ley, the secretary:
"It is a matter of fact that your
roast will cost more if you order it
than it does if you see it weighed.
Your butcher may prove perfectly hon
est and you may have him for years
and years and not find a fault if yoa
go get your things yourself. ,The min
ute you begin to order, however, ' the
total of your week's bill will be higher.
"Another advantage of going is that
your butcher does not happen to have
the cut you want, you simply yand
easily can' walk to another place with
out any talk or argument about it
Many housekeepers do not do this,
but it is the most logical thing in the
world to do. You ask for a certain
thing, he says he hasn't it, You say
nothing, but go to another place tc
get what you have decided up
One of the .things whigh- Mrs. Was
ley considers -is absolutely indispeo
sable to see -cut is hamburger steak, J
which she says should be cut off as
wanted and put through the grinder.
The kind that is ready prepared in
variably will have scraps and trim
mings' put in it.
One reason for the common habit,
of ordering is given by a housekeeper
in the fact that m the majority of mar
kets the fresh goods are not brought
out until nearly noon, and this leaves
the housekeeper no time to market
but in the middle of her day. - To this
is attributed the crowding of markets
just before dinner, when it takes an
almost impossible tome to get waited
on.' ' . -' :
It is on the buying of ready-made
foods that the greatest loss is believed
to be found, both in money and nutri
tion. Says Mrs. Smith: ... -
"Ready-made cakes, pies and almost
all ready-made foods are only an imi
tation. They look beautiful and appe
tizing on the outside, but did you ever
eat anything in your life bought ia
this way that was not a disappoint
ment? , In too -many cases they are
made of materials that we would not
employ in our homes."
FOR DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE.
Rich but Not Indigestible Dish for
the Winter.
Devil's food cake may be counted
among the best of winter cakes when
rich foods may be eaten with pleas
ure and without fear of indigestion.
Cream one-half cupful of 'butter and
gradually add one cupful of sugar, -three
1 ounces (about six tablespoon
fuls) of melted chocolate, and the
well-beaten yolks of two eggs. Add
alternately one-half cupful of milk
and one and one-half cupfuls of flour
with which has been sifted two and
one-half teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der, one-half teaspoonful of cinnamon
and one-quarter teaspoonful cloves.
Flavor with 6ne teaspoonful of vanil
la while adding the stiffly whipped
whites of two eggs. Bake about 40
minutes if in loaf, 20 minutes in
layers. . .
Ways of Using Bits of Silk.
The tiniest bits of silk will furnisb?
material for hat sachets, although one
of the simplest ways of imparting frag
rance to hats is to place a scented pad
in the bottom of the box, completely
covering it. Cheese cloth will answer
for the covering for these quite as welt
as silk. -
Saving the Feet.
When a big ironing has to be done
what a comfort and relief it is to the
feet to use a cushion to stand on while
ironing. It can be made from an old
quilt folded and covered by a piece
of carpet. Until it has been tried no
one can believe the rest it is to tired '
feet
