DUCKING FOR DUCKS, DUCKED.
The Moist Tale of Two Typographical
Nimrods of Lincoln.
Albert Hall and George Bostrom,
a pair of typos who hold membership
In Lincoln Typographical Union No.
809, went on a duck hunt one day
this week. Hall was armed with a
Springfield musket of the vintage of
1861-65, and Bratrom had an old
Sharp's rifle reamed out to shotgun
gauge. They rented a boat and start
ed across the lake at Capitol Beach,
taking turns at rowing and watching
for ducks. While it was Bostrom's
,torn to row Hall cited a duck a half
mile or so away. Raising his trusty
musket to his shoulder. Hall took
aim with 'his eyes shut and pulled the
trigger. The old musket kicked like a
bay steer and 'Hall quickly and quiet
ly fell over backwards into the chilly
waters of the lake. In going over he
capsised the boat and Bostrom also
fell Into the drink.
The guns went to the bottom, but
the boat and the two lnrepid hunters
floated. But they were a half-mile
from shore, neither could swim, and
the waiter was cold. It was the day
that the life saving crew was off duty,
so the cries for help fell not upon hu
man ears.
Hall and Bostrom clung to the over
' turned boat for an hour or two, and
Anally one had to let go because he
was chilled to the bone. When he
let go with a despairing moan his
feet touched bottom. Whereupon the
two typos proceeded to walk ashore,
nulling the boat behind them. In
their excitement they forgot to bring
their guns along.
The duck escaped.
last year.. A number of new locals
have been organized, three of them
in Nebraska. Mr. Mayer was in Be
atrice the other day and reports the
new local there as flourishing. He
will visit Nebraska City and. Fremont
as soon as possible. Ail the new lo
cals report good progress. An effort
will be made to establish locals in
several other Nebraska cities, and the
outlook is good.
BUCK UP, VAN!
You Boost Organized Labor Every
Time You Knock It.
Since "Buck" Van Cleave started on
his union-destroying course and set
out to raise $1,500,000 to fight the la
bor unions, a thing or two has taken
place. The report of Frank Morri
son, secretary ot the A. F. of L.,
shows that during the last quarter
ending October 1, the labor unions
have gained over 50,000 in member
ship. If "Buck" will keep on bucking
for another year a half million will
undoubtedly be added to the organi
zation. Some things work entirely
different from what they are intended
at times and "Buck's" "educational
policy" seems to be one of them. Ex.
referendum vote, and it will not 'be
necassary for President Berry to say
a word. It will only be necessary for
the m : oi oiiip to either get the eight
hour d." or quit. Some way will be
found whereby strike benefits can be
paid.
In Lincoln things are unusually
quiet. The union finds itself unable
to furnish the men called for. Work
is unusually good. '
ELECTRICAL WORKERS.
District Council Is Pushing the Work
of Organization Every Day.
W. L. Mayer, who represents the
Lincoln Electrical Workers' Union !u
'the district council, was In Des
Moines the other day, attending a
meeting of the council. Organizer
Ireland, who is well known in Lin
coln, asked to 'be relieved as he in
tended In engaging in business for
himself, and President James Fitz
gerald was appointed to act as or
ganizer for the next six months. The
work of the organization will be
pushed with vigor.
The district council has accom

THE PRESSMEN
Are Waiting to Learn Just What the
Courts Want Done.
The pressmen of the country are
playing the waiting game so far as
outward appearances go. Their offi
cers are prohibited from calling a
strike anywhere at any time, notwith
standing the fact that the applicants
for the injunction represent less than
8 per cent of the employers in the
printing business.
President Berry will not be allowed
to call a strike, but every pressman
in a Typothetae shop will - in some
way be notified to quit. The eight-
hour day is to go into effect on No
vember 18. That has been decided bj"
THE WAY TO HELP.
There are 1,600 members of the Car
penters' and Joinei-3' Union in Wash
ington, D. C. A couple of weeks ago
the local subscribed in a body for
the Washington Trades Unionist.
There were upwards of 900 members
present and the subscription was
unanimously made. No one put up the
plea that "economy" was necessary,
and no one expressed the fear that it
would require an Incerase in dues
to pay the subscription. The local
realized the need of a live local labor
paper and expressed a willingness to
do its share toward giving one a liv
ing patronage.

COMING CONVENTIONS.
GUMMING IT. '
Here's our sympathy to every
man who has been compelled to secure
a divorce from his teeth and made to
"gum It." It's an awful situation to
be in. Good old roast beef never
looked so good as now, when a fellow
can't even chew the gravy, and the
sight of a mellow bellflower apple is
enough to make the victim butt his
head against a -brick wall. Never did
like soup, nohow, and now that we've
got to diet on it for the next six weeks
we ask the tears and sympathies of
everybody who has a heart to feel for
a fellow being in distress. Darn the
luck!
NEGRO CARPENTERS.
Eighty-six negro carpenters who
formed a temporary organization in
New York city have been admitted as
a local of the 'Brotherhood of Carpen
ters and Joiners. This is the first in
stance in New York of negroes being
affiliated with regular union labor organizations.
KILLING THE GOOSE. .. ..
Cheap labor means poverty and
degradation for the masses of the
people. It means low prices for the
products of the farm and factory.

The Platform of Unionism.
The Eight Hour Printer, under the
caption "What They Teach," says:
"Unions teach men to live upright,
clean lives, to protect the home and
family, to respect and revere the com
mandment. Honor thy father and thy
mother,' to chtfmpion the cause of the
weak, to urge the abolition of child
labor and seek fair remuneration for a
fair day's labor. Can the opponents
of unionism find any flaw in that platform?"

voluntary servitude except as a pun
ishment for crime.

day in seven.

Bank is Not Reopened.,
Efforts to reopen the Farmer's and
Drovers' bank of Waynesboro, O.,
which failed last December have been
abandoned. Outstanding , obligations
amounting to $200,000 are to be met
by an assessment of 100 per cent up
on all stockholders, which has been
ordered.
New Duma Conservative. ' ' .
The results of the final election
held in the greater part of European
Russia, the Caucasus and Asiatic Rus
sia show the strongly -conservative
nature of the new duma, which has
been predicted since the promulgation
of the new election law.

Students' Vacation Prolonged.
It now looks as if the graduating
classes of Central City schools for the
years 1909 and 1910 will be rather
small as a number of the students who
were expelled recently have signified
their intentions of either quitting for
good or pursuing their studies else
where. Twenty-five high school stu
dents, including the whole eleventh
grade and a part of the tenth grade,
took a half day off, part of them par
ticipating in a picnic at Parker's ' isK
land and the others taking a str
When they appeared the follov
morning ready to pursue their
once more, they were called to accoj
by Professor Smith. The entire na
ber were given a vacation to which
professor forgot to set a limit. No
before they can be reinstated they
must bring a written request from
their parents requesting the professor y
to do so, and about this point is cen'
tered the hard feeling. In some cases .
the students have refused to be humil
iated in such a manner and in others
the parents do not seem inclined to -act
their part. At all odds it will be
some time before they are all re-'
instated and things are running
smoothly again. .
Liberty Youth Disappears.
' "Henry, the seventeen-year-old son
of W. J. Howard, living near Liberty,
ran away, taking with him a fine four
year old bay mare and an almost new
buggy. The boy has brown hair, blue
eyes, weighs about 135 pounds, and
wore a dark suit when last seen.
