American Federation of Labor Organ
ized Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The American Federation of Labor
has at last Invaded the Brooklyn navy
yard and in doing so has hurled de
fiance at the navy department, which,
tc January, 1906, over the signature
of Truman H. Newberry, then acting
secretary, promulgated an order pro
hibiting employes from organizing for
the purpose of making demands for
increases in pay.
Recently 250 of the 300 machinists
employed in the navy yard gathered
in Columbus hall and listened to Em
mett L. Adams, president of the dis
trict 44, I. A. of M. of Washington,
telling of the advantages of unionism.
Joseph O'Rourke, a machinist in the
machine shop of the engineering de
partment of the navy yard, acted as
chairman of the meeting. A tempor
ary organization was effected and an
adjournment taken for two weeks.
when a permanent organization will
be ' effected. It Is probable that
O'Rourke will be chosen president of
this lodge.
Just what action the government
will take to keep the union out of the

tbelr appeal has not yet been acted

ed with the organization Is subrosa.

CRITICISE PRESIDENT.
Denounce Roosevelt for His Attack on
Moyer and Haywood.
Detroit, Mich., May 22. The bien
nial convention of the switchmen's
union of North America today adopted
a resolution protesting against the
"kidnaping" of Moyer, Haywood, and
Pettibone and requesting President
Roosevelt to use all legitimate means
in his power to secure a reversal of
the recent decision "legalizing the kid
naping."
The resolution was adopted unani
mously by the 250 delegates who are
present from every state In the un
ion, representing a membership of
23,000. '
The resolution declares that "all
laws regarding the protection and lib
erty of American citizens in securing
defense were denied these brothers by
the governors of Colorado and Idaho,"
and that their removal to the scene
of the Steunenberg murder constituted
a pure and simple case of kidnap
ing."
The resolution continues: ,
"And whereas. President Roosevelt
has seen fit to express the sentiment
that Moyer, Haywood and. Pettibone
were 'undesirable citizens' and pre
viously referred to the western feder
ation of miners of the United States
as having been implicated in the mur
der; and
"Whereas, Such statements stand
without precedent In the civilized
world, and whereas we believe said
statements will injuriously affect
these brothers, be it
"Resolved, That the said Switch
men's Union of North America in con-

Brock of
Buffalo
Brock runs a union clothing: factory, and makes union
clothing: that is the acme of perfection in the clothing: line.
Nothing: finer ever put on the market. He challenges com
parison with any other line of union made clothing. So do
we. We put it in stock because it was the best union made
clothing we could findand we searched the market with a
business microscope.
We got it because we could recommend it for style, fabric,
make, fit, durability and fair price. Inferior clothing bear
ing the label is sold for more money right here in Lincoln
than we. ask for this, line of Brock goods. . Prices range
from $12.50 to $22.50--and every suit has the value right in
it. We guarantee that. If we could not we would not
handle the goods. Brock's clothing is a joy to everybody
the maker, the middleman and the wearer.
, Shirts, hats and work clothes with the union label.
Got big lines of them. The man who asks its for labeled
goods gets them. And he pays for the goods, not the label.
If you just say "Brock" to the clerk he will lead you
right up to the tables that carry the finest line of union
made clothing it was ever your privilege to see or ours to
handle. -

Copies were ordered forwarded to
the governors of Idaho and Colorado

WAS A UNION PRINTER.
A great many union men are un
aware of the fact that Governor
Steunenberg, for whose assassination
Moyer and Hayward are now on. trial.
was a union printer. Frank Stuen
enberg was born in Keokuk, Iowa, in
li61, and learned the printing trade
there. After his marriage he ' went
to Caldwell, Idaho, and there worked
in a print shop. During all the years
of his maturity he was a member of
the union, and when a candidate for
governor was endorsed by most of
the Idaho unions. He alienated the
friendship of many uuion men, es
pecially the members of the Western
Federation of Miners, by his stern re
pression of the riots in the Cour
d'Alene strike.
