Entered as second-class matter April 21, 1904, at the postoffice at Lincoln, Neb., under the Act of Congress of March 3rd, 1879. jijtjtjtjtjtjtjtjtjtjtjltjt J J jt "Printers' Ink," the recog- Jl j nlzed authority on advertis- j jt ing, after a thorough in vest i- jt jl gation on this subject, says: J jt "A labor paper is a far bet- jt Jt ter advertising medium than . Jt jt an ordinary newspaper in jt jt comparison with circulation. Jt jt A labor paper, for example, jt jt having 2,000 subscribers is of jl jt more value to the business jt jt man who advertises in it jl jt thq an ordinary paper with jl jt 12,000 subscribers." Jl Jt J jt JtJt jljtjtjtjtjtjtjtjtjl THE BOISE TRIAL. The jury that will try Frank Hay wood at Boise has at last been secured, the opening statements of counsel for the prosecution and for the defense have been made, and the taking of tes timony is now under way. The Wage worker believes now that Haywood and his confederates will have a fair trial. Not because there is any dispo sition on the part of the prosecution to play fa,ir, but because they are afraid to do otherwise in view of the deep Interest manifested in the case by the millions of union men through out the country. No one who has fol lowed this case from its inception with intelligent discrimination will have the hardihood to deny that the first in tention was to railroad Haywood, Moy er and Pettibone to the gallows. The men behind the prosecution little reck oned that organized labor would be so unanimous in demanding a "square deal." They figured that there would be some outcry at the start, and that attention would be diverted and union forces divided by cheap political clap trap, just has it has been a thousand times before. But organized labor is learning its lessons rapidly. It Is get ting together more solidly than ever before in its history.. The Moyer-Hay-wood case will have been well worth while if it teaches the lesson that or ganized labor means something more than merely standing together for bet ter wages and shorter hours by con tract agreement; that it means stand ing together politically and socially as well as industrially. The prosecution has promised won derful things. It remains to be seen whether it can deliver the goods. Twelve men will say whether he is guilty or innocent, but that verdict, whatever it is, must be in accord with the verdict that well be rendered by an unbiased and Intelligent public whose millions of members are going to fol low that evidence as the evidence in no other murder case was ever fol lowed.

Taft is the original "injunction judge," and he always played into the hands of the exploiters of labor. DECLINED WITH THANKS. An advertising agency last week of fered to The WTageworker a contract for advertising a local plumbing con cern, the contract amounting to $36 for twelve months. Like most labor papers The Wageworker needs money, but it did not need it badly enough to accept the proffered . contract, for it was an advertisement for a non-union plumbing concern. This concern, like several others in Lincoln, has sev eral former members of the Plumbers' Union in its employ. They were bam boozled into becoming "partners" in the business, and they bit at the bait. The Wageworker could add not less than $1,000 a year to its advertising receipts if it would consent to adver tise non-union concerns, but it would lose a lot more than that. In addition to losing the support of union men and women, it would lose its own self-re spect. If there is a manufacturing indus try in Lincoln that employs union la bor, The Wageworker will do every thing it can to boost its business and the concern need not carry a dollar's worth of advertising unless it wants to do so. But there are manufactur ing concerns in Lincoln that could not buy advertising space in The Wage- worker at any price. We boost, hut the hooster de mands that the booste be "square." "What's the matter with the conduc tors and motormen of the "White Line?" The company is actually ad vertising the fact that it does not op pose the unionizing of its employes. The National Manufacturers' Asso ciation is going to raise a fund of a million and a half to "oppose trades union oppression. That will not pro vide carfare for the men who are en trusted with that little job of union busting. A little bunch of printers raised three times that much and put the Job-Mclntyre bunch of printer- busting boys out of commission in a year. The National Manufacturer's As sociation will have to corral the per capita circulation before it can make a dent. The United States supreme court has decided that dredgemen engaged on government work are "seamen," and do not, therefore, come under the provisions of the eight hour law. Would the grave and reverend justices decide that a jackass with a mountain howitzer on its back is a battleship? Read the new advertisement of "Red Seal" overalls, manufactured by the R. L. McDonald Co., of St. Joseph, Mo. Every garment bears the union label, and no better overalls are made anywhere on earth. Call for "Red Seal" overalls and help yourselves by helping your fellow unionists. President Van Cleave of tha Nation al Manufacturers' Association believes in child labor under "proper restric tions." By "proper restrictions" he means that no child under two years should be allowed to work more than twelve hours a day nor receive over $1.13- a week. ' : This is the season of the year when the employer who complains about the "exactions of the unions" goes away to the mountains or seashore for the summer, while the employe stays at home and swelters through the sum mer to keep his wife and babies from starving. Talk about "boosting the label.'.' The printers made such a hot fight on the Barnum & Bailey circus for using 'scab" printing that the "greatest show on earth" came down just like the historic coon, mentioned by Davy Crockett. If every union man and woman in the country would for one year refuse to buy anything that did not bear a union label, the battle for unionism and recognition thereof would be won without a strike or a lock-out. The Lincolnite who rides on 'tne' Lin coln Distraction Co., lines when he can get within reaching' distance of his destination on the "White Line" is guilty of criminal assault on the best interests of Lincoln. Tenements and filthy sweat shops do not flourish in communities where la bor is well organized. Business fail ures are comparatively few in com munities where labor is organized, well paid and well content. Several Lincoln manufacturers who are violently opposed to trades unions are complaining because Lincoln unionists do not buy their "scab" wares. Wouldn't that tickle your risi bilities? - Public Printer Shillings, the "open shop" advocate, is reducing the forces in the big printery, and strange to re late the officers of the different allied crafts were among the first ones "laid off." The brewery workers need not foam at the mouth over President Gompers' drastic action. They should make some quick hops around and get square. UNION MADE STUFF. Cnococted in The Wageworker Shop and Neither . Patented nor Copyrighted. Riches When Dean died the general public paid little attention. A few whom he met every day merely paused a mo ment when they heard the news and said: "Dean dead? Well, that's too bad.' Then they passed on. A few others paused a little longer and some of them said: "He was a poor manager, and never saved any money. He left nothing when he died. Wonder what his fami ly will do?" But Dean did not die poor. He left behind him a legacy of riches that even a Rockefeller might envy. He left behind the memory of a man who never saw human soul in distress that he did not try to comfort it. Scores of men revere his memory because Dean sacrificed his own com fort more than once to feed them and to help keep their little ones from want. Widows of his comrades re member him gratefully, for his hand was always ready to help them.

He left his family well provided for, because he laid up treasures in the hearts of men, and they will see to it that Dean's widow and children shall never suffer want. He was possessed of neither gold nor jewels when he died, but he was possessed of that which is more precious than gems or much fine gold he had the love and respect of his neighbors and comrades.- He left his children the legacy of an untarnished name and a memory of a father's constant love and care. To his widow he left the knowledge that he was loved by all who knew him because he was a good husband, a good citizen and a good father. Such a man as Dean always dies richer than a Croesus. He laid up treasures upon which not only his family can draw through the years to come, but upon which he can draw through all the ages to come, . ' Cards.

Two busy b's that should be given a vacation booze and backcapping. ; The man who tries to see how little he can do and hold his job is always complaining about the boss "favoring" the man who tries to deliver the goods.
