LINCOLN'S BIG NEIGHBORS
It doesn't take much persuasion to
sell an article to a sagacious business
man when the article is something he
needs, is worth the money and which
helps htm to 'increase his own busi
ness not to mention the fact that
by so doing he is showing a kindly
feling to tha producers and exponent s
of the ldea3, principals and motives
which that article carries to the gen
eral good of alj.
We refer to the Wageworker. This
week Mr. F. J. Smith, a union printer,
improved his time and fattened his
purse as well as boosted for the pa
per, by going Into the field at Havelock
and University Place after new sub
scribers, and the number he enrolled
Is extremely gratifying to all concern
ed. Mr. Smith confined his labors
solely to the business men of these
places and so The Wageworker will
make Its weekly visits regularly to
these who added their names to our
already large list of readers. He
found the business men of Havelock
extremely friendly to organized labor
and that they were handling every
thing "Union Made" that they found
a market for, as can be attested to by
these whose names follow:

Mr. Smith will make a thorough

easy to sell an article of such univer

Notes.
The tntrnational Association of Ma
chinist's No. 689, will hold a social
entertaiument in Lancaster hall,
Havelock, Saturday evening, Oct. 26.
An oyster supper and dancing are the
features of the evening's gathering.
A general invitation Is extended to all
wage earners to mingle with the ma
chinists on that night. Tickets fifty
cents.
W. O. Stahlnecker, a union bolt
maker, has just opened a second hand
housefitting and furniture store in
Havelock and would like all union
men to come and get acquainted.
ness with them. I have looked your
paper over carefully and you may
send it to my address for a year."
That's the kind of talk and spirit
and no doubt all the union men of
Havelock will remember Mr. Kenny
when they need anything in his line,
just as they should.
"I am a union harnessmaker," said
Mr. F. J. Klingsies, "and here's my
contribution for The Wageworker's
weekly visits. Send her along and
good luck to you."
"Sure, Smithy," advanced Post
master Hyers, Havelock's efficient
postmaster and real estate man,
"Send me The Wageworker anr here's
the mazuma to liquidate Its expense."
And he produced plenty.
"It almost invites a boycott to say
anything about unionism In this
town," remarked a business lady of
Havelock when shown the paper.
"This town is owned by the Burling
ton ." "Yes, but they don't
own the souls of the people of Have
lock,' do they?" I interposed, "No,
not exactly, but we have to be care
ful. Here is my name and the money
to pay for the paper. Send it along
and if I like It will stay by it longer."
That's the talk. ,

The old story of how George Washington was able to throw a dollar across the Potornic
river "because a dollar went farther in those days," while only a joke, brings forcibly to atten
tion how fast the cost of living has increased. Under the prevailing conditions the wage earn

TWELFTH & O STREETS.
An Interesting Little Fable That May
Be Very Easily Verified.
Once upon a time a Bunch of Press
men in a city not very far away, dis
satisfied with Hours, Working Condi
tions and Wages, "decided to get to
gether. -They realized early in the
Game that it would cost some naoney
and some exercise of strength, phys
ical and mental, to get what was
coming to Them, but they did not
Falter.
When the Bunch met Xoses were
counted and it was Discovered that
several men In the trade were Absent.
"Why is this thus?" was asked.
But no one could tell. The Absent
Ones remained Absent right along, but
the Faithful Ones kept going right
Ahead. They put up their money and
their time, and at last they Secured
Something. They secured the Eight
Hour day with no decrease in Wages.
But lo and behold, when the Better
Conditions were granted the men who
had contributed nothing profited as
much as the Bunch that Put Up the
Money. ,
"Why should we pay out our money
when we can get it for nothing?'
asked one of those who had "piked."
"Bully for you," said an Employer.
"You just keep out of that Bunch and
we will take care of you."
And thus It is that the Pikers are
profiting at the expense of a Darned
Sight Better Men.
Moral: If you. think it all right to
be a Piker you are just the kind of a
fellow that makes a First Class One
The Pressmen are up against the
Federal court. The court, at the In
stance of the Typothaete, has en
joined the Pressmen's and Assistants'
Union frjm ordering or financing a
strike for the eight hour day. In
other words, the international is en
joined from levying an assessment or
paying strike benefits, and can not
call the men out to enforce the eight
hour day. "Government by Injunc
tion" Is coming home, eh boys'? And
how do you like it?
But the Pressmen will fight, just the
same. If every local acted like the
Lincoln local the 10 per cent assess
ment went through -with a whoop.

vote against it. By the time The
Wageworker is off the press the battle
You Pay $10.00
For suits, overcoats and rain coats made from excellent, care
fully selected American woolens. In these garments we give
you the benefit of the best styles obtainable and lay before you
a selection of patterns and colorings that are absolutely up-to-date
; besides this the garments are hand tailored at every vital
point, making them the equal of any $15.00 garments on the
market.
You Pay $20.00
For suits, overcoats, rain coats and top coats that are made
from finest domestic and foreign woolens, in all the new fall
shadings. This line has become so strong and popular with us
that for this season we have made it just twice the size it has
been i nformer seasons, thus giving a greater range and wider
selection.. Many men stop here who have been accustomed to
paying merchant tailors $40.00 for their clothes. ,We positively
guarantee to save you $5.00 on every garment purchased.
You Pay $15.00
Here we give you choice of thousands upon thousands of suits,
overcoats, rain coats and top coats, that in quality of cloth,
workmanship and fit are equal in every respect to those offered
generally at $20.00. The saving is so apparent, and when flg
ared in percentage, amounts to so much that we feel that every
man who has been accustomed to paying $15.00 for his suit or
overcoat should not allow anything to hinder him from mak
ing his selection here and now.
You Pay $25.00
For suits, overcoats, rain coats and top coats and we will show
and sell you nothing but garments made from imported fabrics
and absolutely hand tailored. In this line we show hundreds
upon hundreds of fabrics and colorings which are held exclu
sively with us in this section of the United States. All the new
browns in fancy mixtures, checks, stripes, etc., are here, and in
greater abundance than may be found elsewhere, coupled with
a substantial saving of $5.00 on every purchase! .

A NEW SHOP.
A few weeks ago Chaplin & Ryan
bought the barber shop at 127 North
Twelfth street. They immediately set
to work making it one of the neatest
and prettiest shops in the city. The
shop has been modernized in every
respect, and today It is as neat as a
new pin and as clean as a hound's
tooth. The proprietors give their per
sonal attention to all customers and
see to it that everything, possible is
done for their comfort. With four ex
pert barbers working there are - no
long waits, and the best papers in the
city are always at hand. The new
electric massage machine is the finest
ever brought to the west and must be
se-jn to be apifreciated. Union shop?
Wtii, yes! Two better union men
than Chaplin & Ryan would be hard
to find anywhere. And they are just
as gnod barbers as they are union
men, too. Give them a call.

There was a barber in South Bend
who, having been out late the night

morning and cut a patron's cheek four
times. After each accident the bar

blood, "Oh, deai' me, how careless!

STORE CLOSING AT 6 P. M.
And More Regard for Child Labor
Law at Grand Island.
Grand Island, Neb., Oct. ' 14. An
agreement has been signed by thirty
seven of the retail merchants to close
their stores at 6 o'clock p. m. except
ing Saturdays, when the closing hour
shall be 9 p. m. The ten days before
Christmas are excepted. - This is a
reduction of half an hour on all days
excepting Saturdays and of about an
hour on Sturdays. The movement is
the result of a visit to the city, and, a
conference with some of the mer
chants by Commissioner of Labor J.
H. Ryder of Lincoln.
An effort is also being made to se
cure a stricter compliance of the child
labor law, and several young lads
have been voluntarily dismissed from
the employment of the American Beet
Sugar company's factory... The child
labor in the beet fields, of which, how
ever, there is very little in this vi
cinity, cannot be touched, as agricul
tural pursuits are exempted in the
law. ' The board of education Is doing
all it can to bring about a , general
compliance with the law. It is esti
mated that there are 100 children be
low 16 years of age that are not .at
tending school. '
A RIGHTEOUS LAW.
ltSaves the Little Ones From a1 Hor
rible Form of Slavery.
An exchange calls the child-labor
law a "piece of damphool legislation."'
If ever a just and humane law was
enacted, it is that same child-labor
law, even if it does bar little children
from the husking sheds of small-town
canning factories and keep them out
of reach of swiftly-running machinery
that is liable to seize them and tear
their little bodies to bits at any time
they make a false step. It seems im
possible .for many editors to recon
cile themselves to any law that will

corporation, even if it does put health '
into the bodies and intelligence into
the brains of the little boys and girls
