WITH THE PRINTERS.
Overtime Question Taken Care of
Without Any Trouble.
Beginning last Monday the composing-rooms
of all union printing offices
in Lincoln went on the eight-hour
basis. These offices have been "eight
hour offices" nominally since the early
spring, hut have been working an
hour overtime every day at a mini
mum advance over the scale for the
extra hour.
Realizing the difficulty of working
different departments different hours,
several of the offices granted the eight"
hour day to the allied trades, and
thus the pressmen and bookbinders
have profited by the magnificent fight
put up by the printers for the shorter
work day. . "
Machine operators continue to be
just a little scarcer than the regulars
like to see it, for the scarcity too
often means a seven-day week, which
is a pretty hard grind.
The . "sticTcer" campaign is making
itself felt in several quarters, judging
by the terrific howl some people are
putting up. !
At his own request Frank Smith has
been sent to the "dip" ward for treat
ment, and he has a lot of friends in
Lincoln who sincerely hope that the
treatment will rid a good fellow and
a staunch unionist of an unfortunate
habit.
The following "convention call" will
explain itself to all union printers
who have been keeping in touch with
things printorial in the . "uppah
suckles" during the last two or three
years. It relates to the organization
of the "Vipers and Vampires" made
so notorious at the Toronto conven
tion, and the "Scavengers and Buz
zards" who got theirs at Colorado
Springs. It sounds like a joke con
cocted in the fertile brain of Frank
Kennedy, but it good enough to prin.
And who knows but what the "Benev
olent Order of ZooZ" may yet cut
as much ice in Typographical Union
circles as the "Inner Circles" and the
old "Wahnetas?" Perhaps Lou Shep
herd of Washington can peer into the
future and seer a little bit. The call
is as follows: ' (
Headquarters B. O. O. Z., Omaha,
Neb., July 13, 1907. To the. Scaven
gers, Buzzards and Vipers of the In
ternational Typographical Union
Greeting: After considerable prelim
inary correspondence with members
any
ot pur beloved order, our most Wor
shipful ZooZ, Geo. W. Harris, has
commanded the calling of the order in
solemn conclave in the jungle on the
banks of the Ouachita (pronounced
Wahneta), near the Hot Springs of
Arkansas, close by the reunion of our
beloved uncles the Missouri River
Pirates.
Because of the fact that George W.
Harris is the original Scavenger, Buz
zard and Viper, he having viped Sam
uel B. Donnelly out and James M.
Lynch into a good thing, it was de
cided he should be our First Most
Worshipful ZooZ.
It is proposed that the order have
two degrees, as follows: 1 ;
. First Degree Vipers.
Second Degree Scavengers, and
Buzzards.
During the convention "The Duke
of Butte, Montana" will be initiated
into our blessed order and given the
"work" of both degrees. It is wholly
on account of the Royal Blood of the
candidate from Montana that the two
degrees will be given at once. A few
of the attaches of his Royal Highness
will be given the first degree in the
order. B. Frank Swigart's name is
before the Executive Council for in
vestigation, and it is barely possible
that he will be given the degrees be
fore the conclave "dissolves." :
- From all over the land, in and but
of the jungle, there is a cry going up
for such an order such as the B. O. O":.
Z.; from the beany shores of Massa
chusetts to the sulphuric rock.) of
Montana from the Strong Arm of
Toronto to the troubled waters at New
Orleans the Zoo varmint is increasing'
in size, number anc?grit, until the
Most Worshipful Secretary cannot ac
commodate the demand fqr admission
to membership. The turning point in
the history of our beloved order will
be at this conclave, and the Loval
Members are appealed to to come and
aid in the perfection of this Grand
Order. Preparation must be made for
initiations by the thousands duriDg
the next nine months. Never in the
history of the I. T. U. waB there so
many Scavengers, Buzzards and Vi
pers scattered throughout the jurisdic
tion. Never in the history of the I. T.
V. was there so great a demand 'for
i order like the B. O. O. Z. Now Is
the time to Vipe. Now Is the time
to join. Now is' the time to send on
the Per Capita Tax. No self-respecting
Scavenger, Buzzard or Viper will
Surprisingly Little Interest Taken by
the Chief Beneficiaries
.., The third annual benefit of the Cen
tral Labor Union, given by the cour
tesy of the .Fulton Stock Co. and .
Manager Frank Zehrung of the Oli
ver theatre, was not the success that
it should have been.; The attendance
was little if any larger than that
usually accorded Mr. Fulton and his
cjever company, yet the Central La
bor Union was to profit by one-third
of the gross receipts. Considerably
less than 250 ; tickets were sold by :;
union men, and of the number sold
one man sold over, one-third to mer-r
chants who were glad to show by
their purchases that they wanted to
help the cause along. As a result
of the benefit the Central Labor Un-f.
ion treasury is better off by about $55.
This Is 30 less than was made last
year and $50 less than was made two
years ago. At this rate of falling off .
the central body will be in debt to
Messrs. Fulton and Zehrung after, the
fourth annual benefit. 1
"Zira" was the offering, that semi
military drama having ' been substi
tuted for the announced attraction
"Lynwood." Those who have seen
both arc; more than satisfied with the
change of bill. " The play opens in.
South Africa during the Boer war and
ends in London, vlt is full of stirring
situations and called for all the ability
of the company. Miss Enid Jackson
as "Zira" added new laurels to those
she has already won. Every member
of the company is entitled to special
mention and it is withheld only be
cause "ye reporter" is suffering from
the heat and a sore typewriter finger.
.Both company, and house manager
were . entitled toA more marked evi
dences of appreciation than they re-;
ceived from the unionists of. the city.
Manager Honeywell of the Gas com-
pany came to the front as usual, and
bought a block of tickets for the office
force. - ; v. . -

tal Beach Mosquito Fleet, and mana
ger of the Armstrong Clothing Co.,

were offered him., It's all right if its .

had they been solicited, were con
splcuous by their absence. The dels
gates to the central . body overlooked
a long list of "good things" when
they failed "to give the candidates an
opportunity to come across.
.' Mayer-Bros, was represented by a
number of employes who enjoyed the
hospitality-of the, store management
to the full.
Thirty-five members of the Com
moner force were present as the
guests of the business manager, C.
W. Bryan. Thirty-two of them- were
young ladies ; and they thought the
villain "just awful," the hero "perfect
ly lovely," and the -costumes "beairH-
ful" vs'v',;
The moving pictures were unusually -fine
and the subject was deeply in-'
teresting. ' - " - .
The thanks of all union 'men are
due to Mr. Jess Fulton and his com
pany, to Manager Zehrung, to Treas
urer Thompson, , and to every other
member of the Oliver house staff.
They are "jolly good fellows," all and
