Farmers' Dry Goods Co. 236 No. 1 3th St. Lincoln, Neb
Getting Ready to Battle for the Eight.
f- Hour Working Day.
The Presmen or the United States
are lining up for the eight hour day,
and preparatory to the battle they are
about to vote on the proposition to
levy an assessment of 10 per cent a
week to finance the fight. The Press
men ought to vote the assessment. by
a ,rousing majority. It will be the
best thing they ever done for them
selves' and for their organization. . It
will weed out the lukewarms and will
strengthen the unionism of the re
mainder. It will be the same notice
to the United Typothetae that the
Typographical Union served. The
Typothetae thought the printers would
tire of the heavy assessment in a
month or two, and then would break
up in a row. What really happened
is history. The Typothetae is in no
shape to fight another ' union that is
ready" to fight as long and as hard as
the printers fought.
Come on boys! Let the Lincoln
union make it unanimous. It will hurt
for a while, but the reward is sure.
Victory is assured if you will back j
your international officers in their
fight. This is the time to lay aside
all prejudices and animosities and get
together for the common good. Plenty
of time for a scrap among yourselves
after the common enemy has been
whipped to a frazzle. $
Several printing and publishing
firms in Chicago, St. Louis, New York
and Massachusetts with national offi
cers of the United Typothetae, have
brought action in the United States
court asking that the International
Printing Pressmen's and Assistant's
Union of America be enjoined from
violating an agreement of January,
1907,: by demanding an eight-hour day.
The headquarters of the union are
in Cincinnati. The petition asks that
the union be restrained from' calling
or instituting strikes or aiding or as
sisting in calling any strike against
the Typothetae or its members for the
refusal of the Typothetae or any of
its members to institute the eight
hour day before January 1, 1909, or
the closed shop at any time; that it
be restrained from inciting "local
unions to institute' strikes against the
Typothetae, from arranging for or
proceeding with a referendum vote by
the subordinate branches of the
Pressmen's union upon . the subject of
instituting strikes against the Typo
thetae or members of the Typothetae
for refusal to institute the closed shop
or the ,eight-hour day, and to enjoin
the" union from paying out any money
as "sfflke" benefits and to further : the
carrying on of any strike against the
Typothetae or any shops of its mem
bers. , - ...
That isn't asking much, is it? And
the Pressmen will find themselves up
against the court ' before long. The
injunction will be granted. Then the
Pressmen mast- fight it to the last
ditch. Their liberty depends on it.
They will not be the first ones en
joined from paying a strike benefit.
This talk about a contract between
the union and the Typothetae is "rot.
Truer.former President Higgins of his
own motion entered into an open shop
agreement with the Typothetae, but
this agreement was never ratified by
the membership. On the contrary, it
was repudiated at the first opportun
ity. ;
Lincoln pressmen have enthusias
tically entered upon the label cam

Trades. There will be something do

THINK IT OVER.
Mr. Grocer, you sell brooms. Now
answer this question : Which is bet
ter, to sell brooms made by convicts
who cannot spend a cent with you,
of sell brooms made by free working
men in Lincoln who will of necessity
be compelled to spend their wages
with you for groceries and provisions?
Just think this over for a few minutes.
Which would you rather have: Fifty
free broommakers at work in Lincoln
and supporting families, or 200 con
victs in the penitentiary working for
50 cents a day spending absolutely
nothing with you? This is a business
matter worthy or your consideration.
. Senator Chauncy M. Depew has sim
ilar views about "practical" men in
politics that President Roosevelt ex
pressed in his letter to that "undesira
ble citizen" Harriman. The senator
says, "I have found from long experi
ence that what a man is in business
'he is in politics; if he is practical in
the one he will likely be practical in
the other. The human equation en
ters in there as largely as In other
things."
; He. also seems to have a very, bad
opinion of the Republican politicians
generally for he declares: "I have
observed, too, that gratitude is not
likely to be any considerable part of a
"politician's makeup, and he is not
notable for a high regard for his
.promiues."
