jl "Printer Ink," the recog- Jt
j nized authority on ad vert is- jl
Ing, after a thorough in vest i- ,s
gation on this subject, says: J
4t "A labor paper is a far bet- Jt
j ter advertising medium than J
jl an ordinary newspaper in J
jt comparison with circulation. J
j A labor paper, for example, j
J having 2,000 subscribers Is of J

j man who advertises in it jt
jt thi an ordinary paper with "jl
M 1.2,000 subscribers." J
THOSE BAR NOMINATIONS
The indications are that the three
gentlemen recommended for district
judgeships by the Bar Asociation will
find the recommendation a very great
andlcap. The people who have to
pay the expenses of litigation are not
taking kindly to the suggestion that
the gentlemen who make their living
by litigation be allowed to name the
judges.
It was a piece of presumption for
the lawyers to i?ult in, anyhow. They
are not at all interested in anybody
but themselves. When the Bar Asso
ciation met to name judicial candi
dates who was present to speak for the
farmers, for the craftsmen, for . the
business men? Who of the three can
didates recommended- represent the
great body of citizens who have to
put up the money to keep court ma
chinery going?
If the lawyers have a moral right
to anticipate the primaries and "rec
ommend" candidates, have not the rail
roads the same moral right to antici
pate primaries and "recomemnd"
members of the state railroad commis
sion?
S ofa" aw The '.VasoworkeT is con
cerned and it is trying to represent
class that is getting de
cidedly the woi-t of present
judicial cond'tions 't looks upon the
action of the Bar Association as be
ing impudent in the extreme. It has
no criticism to make concerning the
personality of the three gentlemen
recommended by the Bar Association,
but it does insist that they failed to
measure up to the right standard by
their failure to repudiate the action of
the handful of lawyers who met at the
court house as a "Bar Association
and proceeded to take out of the hands
of the people the duty of selecting the
district judges.
DON'T DELAY THE GAME.
Every labor organization in the city
should select a representative to act
upon the advisory committee of the
Labor Temple project. This commit
tee's mission will be to submit. plans
for proceeding with the work of rais
ing money to erect a Labor Temple,
the different locals to be the final ar
bitraters. As soon as the committee
can submit a plan that will meet
the wishes of a majority of the locals
the real start will have been made,
The Central Labor Union as a body
has nothing to do with the committee,
It merely used its good offices to get
the matter started off, and as soon as
the committee is organized the Central
Body's mission will have been fulfilled,
The local unions should not wait for
formal notification, but should act at
once, and then report the name of the
representative to George H. Bush. The
committeemen thus selected are re
quested to meet with the Central La
bor Union on Tuesday evening, July
23. At that time a temporary organi
zation will be perfected.
The temple project now has a sub
stantial start. Practically $3,000 has
been pledged without any formal cam
paign. Several committeemen have
been selected, and the general opinion
seems to be that the work should be
pushed to the limit.
With the exception of one hour of
executive session during a convention
of the union some years ago
the International Typographical Union
has not held a session behind closed
doors in ten years. Trades unions
have no secrets. It is left to employers
to hold chamber sessions.
The label of your craft is entitled
to no more consideration than the la
bels of other crafts.
Talk about the war with Japan is
now rife. Of course, if we have war
Mr. Post, Mr. Parry, Mr. Job, Mr. Van
Cleve, Mr. Stlllings and others emi
nent and wealthy open shop advocates
will bear the brunt of the fighting
"like the old woman kept tavern." The
fighting will be done by men who
wield the trowel, the plane, the brush,
the hammer and other tools of the
trades.
It will be noted that after a lot of
bluff and bluster Federal Judge Landis
treated John D. Rockefeller with
much more consideration than federal
judges -are wont to show towards mere
workingmen charged with violating a
federal injunction.
The American Federation of Labor
meets with open doors, and everybody
who so desires is at liberty to attend.
Opponents of trades unions always
hold secret sessions. "They who love
darkness because their deeds are evil."
The American workingman who im
agines that it is the tariff that insures
him good wages ought to hunt up a
physcian and take a hypodermic in
jection of sense.
The lawyer who thinks the wage
scale is too high is cordially invited
to spend eight hours laying brick or
putting on shingles in this hot July-
sun of ours.
We missed our guess this time on
the date of Mr. Post's spasm. The
stenographer must be keeping him
jumping sideways to deliver the silks
and laces.
If your union has not yet selected a
member of the Labor Temple advisory
committee, see to it that it is' done
without further delay.
The craftsman is now trying ito
make a 15 per cent increase in wages
meet ' a 40 per dent increase in the
price of his necessities.
Mr. Business Man, nobody boycots
on because you use the union label;
but the absence of the label does inter
fere with your trade.
Sneaking of Mr. Rockefeller, the
wonder is how suc'h.an ignorant man
could have achieved such a signal fi
nancial success.
The men who make the world's
goods are not the ones who are spend
ing the summer at the seashore or in
the mountains.
The Taft boom has shrunk since the
political managers heard fromtheaiien
who suffered from the Taft injnnc-
tions.
Is your union getting ready for La
bor day? The time is growing short.
It is never too hot to demand the
union label.
UNION MADE STUFF.
Manufactured In The Wageworker Of-
. fice During Union Hours.
Jim Dugan's Way.
Jim Dugan was a union man
Who played the game for fair;
Behind in dues he never ran
His card was always square.
And when It came to label work
His duty Jim would never shirk;
At hustling like the fabled turk
Old Jim was always there.
When Jim would buy a suit of clothes
The label he'd demand;
The hat to Dugan must disclose
The label 'neath the band.
His 'bacca had to bear the stamp
If 'leven blocks Jim had to tramp;
Jim in "(scab" goods would put a
cramp
With his good union hand.
The "little sticker" Jini would paste
Whene're he had a chance,
And send it back with joyful haste
To make the fellow dance.
''The label you must show to me;
The 'little joker I must see
If you would trade with Jimmie D-
And 'tis your only chance."
When Dugan dies and nears the gate
Where Peter guards the way,
It is a cinch as sure as fate
He'll hear Jim Dugan say:
"A union harp I've got to hold
If I make music in this fold;
No 'scab'' band on these streets of
gold.
Or Dugan will not stay."
Useless.
There was a young man in Toulouse
Who tried to drink all of the booze,
When a snake and a rat
Built their nests in his hat
He made up his mind 'twas no use.
Cards.
A "sticker" in time saves nine.
There Is no regret attachment to
an honest boost.
A union man's wife should know the
union game.
Your individual rights as a union
man do not include the right to do any-
thing that will reflect discredit upon
our organization.
The forgettery of the average office-
seeker works overtime after election
day.
A union card does not make an hon
est workman but it should mean an
honest workman.
Sad Accident.
"Blufferly met with a sad blow the
other night."
"How's that?"
"He went to blow the froth from his
beer and dropped the glass."
Wrong Steer. .
"What's Binger trying to do over
there?"
Says he's soaking his gasoline can
in alcohol to make it red in compli
ance with the law."
'He must be a fool."
"O, I don't know. Look what a
beautiful red color it has given his
nose.
Located
"I am a free and independent work
man; no union slavery for me." said
the applicant.
Where did you last work?" queried
the prospective employer.
On the city rock pile in Billville."
was the answer.
HE IS ALL THESE.
After all is said Harry Orchard
seems to be a pretty good sort of a
citizen. To be sure he is a murderer,
a liar, a dynamiter, a thief, a biga
mist, a kidnapper, a jailbreaker, a con
fidence man, a trainwrecker and all
that, but what of it? Wasn't he a
trusted and confiential employe of the
Mine Owners' association and a Pfnk-
erton spy? Fort Wayne Times-Herald.
CIVIC FEDERATION PERRY.
. Perry Belmont, when notified that
scab labor was being used on his $500,-
000 mansion in this city, promised to
make a change and scooted for Eu
rope. Wonder he didn't get the wel
fare end of the civic federation to take
up the matter. The welfare feature is
an antidote for socialism," you
know. Washington Trades Unionist.
