PARK DEVELOPMENT. "
The "Wageworker serves notice now
that. when the proper time arrives it
la going to make an effort to secure
through the referendum the submis
sion of a proposition to issue park
bonds. Under the referendum law the
voters of Lincoln, may compel the sub
mission of any proposition they see fit.
The Wageworker declares that Lin
coln needs not less than $35,000 for
park improvement purposes, and It is
going to call upon the wage-earners
of the city to demand the issuance
of that amount of park improvement
bonds. The workers of the city are
entitled to that much consideration at
the hands of men who have grown rich
through real estate made valuable by
the toil and sweat of the wage-earners
of the city. The men who have thus
gi-own rich are able to go to tho
r.-.ountains or the lakes for the sum
mer, while the men whose toil made
them rich are compelled to remain at
home and work. These toilers are en
titled to the very best possible park
system. It i3 a shame and a disgrace
that Lincoln let the park idea languish
for so long, and it will be Mayor
Brown's chief glory that under ljis ad
ministration and through his inita
tive the beginning was made. With
less than $5,000 for use in two years
the park commission has succeeded in
creating a park that is rich in promise.
But the commission can do little more
than maintain the parks as they now
are with the amount annually avail
able for park purposes. As thiugs are,
Lincoln can never have a park worthy
of the name. The commission shoulJ
have not less than $35,000 rjght now
with which to make a park, and not
1jss than $12,000 or $15,000 a year be
available for park purposes.
Wage earners are in the majority in
Lincoln, and it is within their power to
bring about the development of a
park system that will put Lincoln in
the proper rank. These wage earners
should not be so foolish as to expect
the well-to-do to voluntarily put up the
money. That class does not care
whether the city has a park system or
not. They can hie away to summer
resorts when the heated term begins.
It is different with the wage .earner
end his family. He must stick to his
work, and his tired wife and growing
children must content themselves with
paved or muddy, streets and a few
shade trees thereon.
Minneapolis, with a population about
three times as large as Lincoln's
spends $200,000 a year on its park sys
tem. Boston spends nearly $1.50 per
capita per year on parks. That amount
would give Lincoln $75,000 a year for
park purposes.
Lincoln must have a park. And Lin
coln wage earners must be the ones
to act. So let them get ready to de
mand the submission of a bond propo
sition, the proceeds to be used in park
development.

the trades unionists do this success
can not be gained.
The way to show your interest is to
put up some money. Every good thing
costs money. The time to show your
interest is'right now.
Fred Ress, representing the Book
binders' Union on the Labor Temple
committee, is treasurer of the associa
tion. All subscriptions should be sent
to him, 1500 D street. He will receipt
for every dollar. Every dollar will be
put in the bank and held there until
there is enough to buy a site. Every
subscriber to ' the stock will have a
voice in the selection of a site.
Get into the game immediately.
Others have put money now it is
your turn.
COME ON WITH THE MONEY.
, The enthusiastic trades unionists
who promised to donate a day's work
to the Labor Temple fund are urgent
ly requested to "come across" with the
money. The association has been or
ganized, articles of incorporation have
been properly filed, and a committee
from the various trades unions is now
in charge of the project.
; Every dollar that comes in now will
do the work of two dollars later in the
game. Every dollar sent in will en
title the sender to a share of stock in
the Labor Temple Building Associa
tion. Every dollar will be properly and
satisfactorily accounted for.
Just as soon as the trades unionists
demonstrate that they are really in
earnest in this movement for a Labor
A thousand shoe lasters in the employ-
of W. L. Douglas suceded from
the Boot and Shoe Workers' Union
and told Mr.Douglas about it. He imme
diately notified them that they were
no longer in his employ and would
not again be until they got back into
the union. "I have a contract -with
the Boot and Shoe Workers' Union,"
said Mr. Douglas, "and I intend living
up to the letter and spirit of that con
tract." W. L. Douglass has made a
huge fortune running a closed shop
and treating his employes fairly.
President Roosevelt ordered a Miss
issippi river pilot's license suspended
for ninety days because the pilot was
guilty of lese majeste in running his
boat too near to the presidential craft.
The mere fact that the pilot's license
could be legally revoked only after
fair trial cut no ice with President
Roosevelt.
We rejoice that Senator Borah, was
acquitted of the charge of defrauding
the government. Ie seems that in
stead of defrauding the government
he was merely the attorney for 'the
men Who did defraud the government.
That makes him a desirable citizen.
Another specimen of the union hater

is the multi-millionaire who "per

young and comely woman.
The proposition to establish a brew
ery in Lincoln should be treated as ft
business proposition. The Wage
worker is an advocate of temperance.
Temperance means moderation, some
thing that a lot qf temperance' ora
tors are unacquainted with.-
Just as soon as Mr. VanCleave gets
that $1,500,000 fund with which to
fight the unions, the Typothatae will
ask for a big chunk of it. The union
printers put the "Teapot" a whole lot
more than that to the bad.
The label in your clothing is a sign
that the clothing was made by a well
paid worker . in a ' sanitary factory.
It is also evidence that the wearer is
something better than a "mouth union

People of the Post, Flagler and
Earle type call them "affinities." Old
Solomon, who was something of a
sport himself, never thought of that.
He just called them plain "con
cubines."

Parry, 'ran her automobile over a lit

None of her father's employes are able
to own an automobile.
Mr.. Post is trying to beg the issue
and thus evade payment of $750,000
to Collier's. With millinery as' high
as it is at present, Mr. Post needs all
his spare change for the stenographer.
Mr. Post read a paper on the "open
shop" at a recent meeting of em
ployers. Mr. Post is so insistent upon
shop that he carries, it into his marital
relations.
The Colorado Springs convention of
printers handed the, labor editors a
roast. The Hot Springs convention
handed them a bouquet.
The unions with the highest dues
are the unions that accomplish most
for the membership and for the cause
of unionism. ... ;
What Lincoln union will be the first
to subscribe as a body for a block of
stock in the Labor Temple?
The bookbinders seem to have the
"open shop" employers pretty well
sewed up.
One way to block the move for a
Labor Temple is pull back and holler
"graft."
The union men of Lincoln spend
$2,000,000 among the merchants of
Lincoln every year. How many "giri
factories" would Lincoln have to have
to make an equal wage showing?
This "affinity" dope seems to affect
only those who have money to burn.
FOR THE LAND SAKES!
The Traction Company is Getting Just
Too Good to Live!
And now the Traction company is
talking about putting on "Owl Cars"
for the convenience of the dear peo
ple . . '
It sounds too good to be true.
But here's hoping. For just as
many years as the Traction company
has had a monopoly on street railway
transportation in Lincoln it has been
sending its cars to the barn just about
the time the chicken went to. roost.
Social functions were compelled to
break up just about the time of ev
ening when sociability became appar
ent in order that the guests might
catch a car. Theatrical performances
have been cut short or the auditors
compelled to leave before the close
in order to save walking home. With
50,000 people dependent upon street
car service the last cars have always
left O street before midnight. And
for years the people have complained
and protested.
But complaints and protests were
unavailing. What, then, brought
about this promise of better things?
O, what's the use of asking such
fool .questions? You know what
brought it about. Competition.
As long as the people just had to
patronize the Traction company or
walk; Jhe company was arrogant, in
solerit and impudent: But things have
changed. Lincoln people do not now
have to take the Traction company's
cars or walk. The result is a visable
decrease in arrogance," insolence and
impudence, and a growing sign of con
sideration not for the public, but for
th3 Traction company's receipts.
Here's hoping that the promise of
"Owl Cars" will be made good. , In
the meanwhile we hasten to assure
Mr. Moses Scudder of New York of
continued evidences of our distinguish
ed consideration.
THE BOOKBINDERS.
Everything Serene in Lincoln and
Things Grow Better Elsewhere.
The union bookbinders of Lincoln
were not affected by the eight-hour
situation on October 1. They were
all working the eight-hour day before
that. Reports from all over are en
couraging. . Offices are capitulating ev
ery day. And the desertions from the
ranks have been so few as to make
them practically unnoticeable. ' The
Omaha Western 'Laborer says of the
situation in that city:
"True ' to their union, the bookbind
ers in local printing offices went on a
strike Tuesday of this week, taking
out all the binders in the city but two.
Twelve men went out from the Oma
ha Printing company, five from the
Klopp & Bartlett company, five from
the Rees Printing company and two
from the Festner Printing company.
Only two appeared for work Tuesday
morning. They are employed by the
Burkley Printing company. The strike
does not include the girls in the
binders' trade, of whom there are
twenty -five or thirty. An eight-hour
day is what the strikers demand.
Twenty-five per cent of the members
are working the eight-hour day and
75 per cent are on strike."
The Omaha Typothaetae shops are
advertising in the Chicago papers for
binders. ' ' - ' .
The Fremont Tribune's binders add
ed to the company's grief by insisting
on the eight-hour day. The printers
struck for recognition several weeks
ago. . ' ' ' " :
FREMONT ELECTRICAL WORKERS
Get Together and Form a Union That
Starts Off Well.
Local electricians met at Union hall
last evening and organized a local
union of the International Brother
hood of Electrical workers, with a
charter membership of 15. A num
ber of electricians from West Point,
Wahoo, North Bend and Scribner
were unable to be present and they
will be taken into the local order at
the next meeting.
Officers of the local were elected,
with the following occupying places :
Claude Cady, Herbert Trotter, Archey
Roberts, Collie Kreader, Jack Costel
lo, Henry Olson, Joseph Steinbach
and Slim Dunlap. '
This is the first local of this order
ever formed in Fremont, although the
