rapidly and also pay large dividends. The most conservative
business men of Lincoln are buying this stock, and -we want
YOU to have at least one share, as it is intended to secure the
co-operation of many hundreds of stockholders with small in
vestments, rather than a few with large investments.

property; no cash is paid out for promotion.
EVERY DOLLAR OF COST WILL BE UNION MA
TERIAL AND LABOR.
It seems unnecessary to argue the profit in the busi
ness. Ice, alone, will pay good dividends. The most conser
vative estimate would be at least ten per cent annually,
riany other concerns pay four or five times this.

scribed to make it safe to call the money. It will be thirty or
sixty days before any money will be asked for, and then you

Cincinnati. One of the most lmpor-1
tant decisions in the history of labor
litigation was given in the United
States district court of southern Ohio
when a temporary injunction restrain
ing the International Pressmen's union
from calling, inciting or supporting a
strike for an eight-hour day in viola
tion of contract was made perman
ent. The injunction was granted by
Judge A. C. Thompson of Cincinnati
upon the petition of the officers of the
United Typothetae of America and
some Chicago and New York printing
houses which already were affected by
the walkout of Oct. 1. The court held
that the instigation or the assistance
of a strike would be a direct violation
of a contract providing for a nine
hour day.
St. Louis, Mo. The United States
circuit court of appeals at St. Paul,
Minn., confirmed the decision of the
United States district court of the
eastern district of Missouri, holding
that It was proper to enjoin labor or
ganizations from boycotting a manu
facturing company by forcing contract
ors to discontinue the use of its prod
ucts or to do without laborers. The
suit was originally brought by the Fox
Bros. Manufacturing company of this
city, whose goods were boycotted be
cause they ran an open shop, all
union carpenters refusing to work on
buildings in which they were used.
Sharon, Pa. It is officially an
nounced that the Sharon tin plate mill
of the American Sheet Tin Plate com
pany will close down within the next
few days for an indefinite period,
throwing about 2,000 meu out of em
ployment. The reason assigned is
want of orders. The company has all
the tin in stock sold, and this will be
shipped in accordance with the in
structions of the buyers. At the pres
ent time the Sharon plant is the only
large union mill of the company that
is being operated. The Shenango and
Greer plants, containing 50 mills, are
both Idle at New Castle.
Spokane, Wash. Wheat growers in
the Palouse belt, south of Spokane,

product and establishing independent
warehouses to combat the Oregon Rail
road and Navigation company, operat
ed in Washington and Oregon as part
of the Harriman system.
Boston. The clerks at the navy
yards, "will also probably receive a
wage increase from congress. Last
week the heads of departments were

creased rate. The information is de
sired by the Dick commission, which
congress authorized to consider the
subject.
Salzburg, Austria. The internation
al congress of Miners in session here

ground work, was also adopted.
Washington. A dispatch from Hon
olulu says that . the Spanish immi
grants brought to that, city some
months ago are giving satisfaction in
all parts of the island where they have
gone. For the mobt part, too, they
have remained on the plantations
where they went to work first.
Chicago. At the Chicago Shipbuild
ing company's yard at South Chicago
200 more workmen were laid off. This
leaves only 300 men out of a total of
1,800- employed before the recent
strike, and it is said some of these will
be let go soon. It is rumored that the
South Chicago . yard is to be aban
doned by the American Shipbuilding
company, but the local officials refused
either to deny or confirm the report
Hoston. i ne annual discussion re
garding changes of wages for the deep
water and transatlantic longshoremen
has been begun. Suggestions from the
affiliated unions and K. of L. assem
blies have already been made to the
longshoremen's trade council. All will
be discussed at the next meetings of
the different organizations, and recom
mendations to the council will be con
sidered at a later meeting.
Duluth, Minn. Dock men employed
by the Duluth, Messabe & Northern
railway were notified that on Nov.

reached.

arise between employe and employer.
New. Haven, Conn. All organized
labor in this city will give financial as
sistance to Frank McGee 6f Worces
ter, Mass., the national organizer of
the Foundrymen's union, in his appeal
from a fine of $500 by the city court
and six months in jail on each of four
counts for intimidation of nonunion
workmen. The trade council has sig
nified its willingness to contribute from
$1,000 to $1,500 toward McGee's de
fense. The arrest of MaGee grew out
of a strike at a local factory.
Chicago. Apprehension spread
through the town of Pullman when the
discovery was made public that the
Pullman company, whose great shops
constitute the chief industry, has been
steadily laying off men until the num
ber of employes has been reduced by
5,000. In the last three months the
working force of the car factories and
foundries have been cut down from
12,000 to 7,000, and thousands of idle
men walk the streets looking - for
work.
San Francisco. C. M. Schwab ad
dressed a large gathering of the most
influential men of San Francisco in
the boardroom of the merchants' ex
change. The most important of the
direct statements made by Mr. Schwab

continue the Union iron works, but to
modernize that shipbuilding and struc
tural plant at a cost of $1,000,000 or
more, 'and enlarge its capacity of out
put ' '
Sydney, Australia. A labor candt
date for a vacant seat in the Austral
ian parliament has hit upon a novel
idea "young age pensions," on the
ground that they are "wise and mer

citizenship and "enable the struggling
parents of large families to, bring up
their children decently and with credit
to themselves and the community."
London, Eng. The joint board bf

Trades Union Congress, the General
Federation of Trades Unions and the

which it is recommended that trades
unions be urged to abolish overtime,
and that where this is not wholly pos
sible, it be restricted to the narrowest
limits, and that when worked it he
penalized to the fullest extent.
Rome, Italy. Owing to the fact that
public opinion is opposed to the pro
posal to declare a strike of railroad
men throughout Italy, and in view of
the adoption by the government of ex
tensive precautionary measures, it is
now not believed that the leaders will
call upon the men to engage in the
general strike which had been threat
ened as a result of the recent trouble
among the railway employes at Milan
and Turin.
Washington. The Panama canal of
ficers have been asked to make a
report to the war department on
charges made in Spain that recruit
ing agents for the Isthmian canal

company offered to compromise on a

but this action has thus far 'occasioned
no trouble. The strike interfered with
the train service, as shorter trains
have had to be run. .
London, Eng. The biggest colliery
strike which Great Britain has seen
was the South Wales strike in 1898.
