GOOD BUSINESS SENSE.
It Should Appeal to Lincoln Manufac
turers of Shirts and Overalls.
Here is a plain statement of fact
that should appeal to the manager
of the Lincoln Overall and Shirt Co.,
and the manager of the Inter-Ocean
Shirt Co.
The man who is not Interested in
organized labor and who knows noth
ing about union labels, will buy a un
ion labeled shirt or overall just as
quickly as he will the unlabeled gar
ment. The loyal union man, or the
opponent of sweat shop labor will not
buy the garment unless it has the
label.
The unlabeled garment therefore
appeals to only a part of the buying
public. The labeled garment appeals
to both union and non-unionosts. 1
Now why not make garments that
you can sell to all classes of men in
stead of to only part of them?
Just think this over a little while.
Perhaps the truth will percolate if
you give It a good fair chance. If
Mr. Jones will put the label on his
goods, and if the manager of the Inter-Ocean
factory will do the same,
The Wageworker and 3,000 union men
will proceed to boost for them. "
Now if that sort of boosting is
worth having, you gentlemen know
how you may secure it.
GIVEN A WATCH.
Fireman H. Lux of the Burlington
is proudly wearing a handsome gold
watch given him last week by his fel-
ow employes on the Burlington. It
was in recognition of his heroism in
risking 'his life to save that of a tod
dling little girl -who got in the road
of the engine on which Lux was firing.
The incident happened this side of
Seward a few weeks ago. The little
girl got on the track and Lux saw
that the train could not be stopped in
time. He crawled out along the run
ning board, and down upon the pilot.
At just .the right instant he threw
himself forward and to one side, grab
bed the little one and 'both rolled off
together and into safety. A single
slip and Lux and the ilttle girl would
both have been ground beneath the
whels. Here's hoping that Lux will
live -a thousand years, and keep the
watch every day of the time. , '" '
