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.

The union man who favors Secretary
of War Taft for president would do
well to get his unionism on straight
and then read up a bit on injunctions.
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.

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. His

every daily walk was a streak of sun
shine in dark places, for his ready
smile, his quick sympathy and his
helpfullness scattered cheer wherever
he went.
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, . '
