Ten to Eighteen Dollars
You'd pay more for the same goods at other places. But even at
this price we make a reasonable profit. The profit we make, how
ever, is not nearly as great as the saving to you. We can demon
these facts if you come in.

The shares are $50 each, payable
In 10 months at $5.00 per month on each share purchased.
It Is confidently expected that this stock will increase in value
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.
Every dollar subscribed will be put into the company's
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.
Write to any address below and say how many shares
' you want. No money will be asked for until enough is sub
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
will be notified where to pay the first payment.

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,
where several counties will each yield
more than 9,000,000 bushels, of grain
this season, have organized a farmers'
union for the purpose of handling their
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
asked to fill out blanks giving the
name, work and rate of pay of each
clerk, and also a suggestion for an in
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
adopted a resolution opposing any re
striction of the output of coal. The
Americans voted affirmatively. - A
resolution in favor of a legal prohibi
tion of employment of children under
14 in mining, or under 16 in under
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.
their wages would be advanced 25
cents a day in accordance with a prom
ise made before the strike last sum
mer. Under the new scale day men
will receive $2.50 a day and night men
2.75.
Glasgow, Scotland. The executives
of the Associated Iron Molders of
Scotland are at present negotiating
with the Scottish Employers' Federa
tion of Iron and Steel Founders for
an advance of one farthing an hour,
and, although the first formal demand
has been declined, it is expected that
a satisfactory settlement will be
reached.
Chicago. An effort is being made in
the east and middle west to form an
international industrial peace congress
to devise ways by which strikes may
be averted whenever dispute may
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
was that after looking the ground over
carefully he has decided not only to
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
ciful, and would be commercially
profitable to the commonwealth." He
adds that they would conduce to good
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
the parliamentary committee of the
Trades Union Congress, the General
Federation of Trades Unions and the
Labor party of Great Britain has is
sued a report on unemployment, in
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

isthmus. One hundred and fifty Span-
lards go to the Isthmus now every
week under the inducements offered
them by Le Roy Marks, labor agent of
the canal.

three years the British National So
ciety of Operative Printers' ' Assist
ants has been able to establish 14

tained In each of the three kingdoms,

actively maintained. The English
provincial branches are being aug
mented by foundations in Bath, Bris
tol, Birmingham and Cardiff; the
Glasgow branch is to have sister or

in course of formation in Belfast, Cork
and other Irish towns.

a labor candidate for the mayoralty.
Eau Claire, Wis. The boiler makers
of this division of the Omaha, lo
cated in the shops at Altoona, went
on strike. They were getting 38
cents an hour, hut struck for 45. The
company offered to compromise on a
basis of 41 cents an hour, which
the boiler makers refused. Strike
breakers have now been brought in,
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.
The strike was started by the boys
who acted as haulers at one of the
principal collieries suddenly throwing
up their work. One hundred thou
sand men came out, and not a pick
was swung for 117 days.
