DENIES IT AN INJUNCTION.
United Typothetae Makes Unsuccess
ful Application.
Justice McCall. in the supreme curl
of New York, last week denied the
application of G. Lawrence Fell, presi
dent of the United Typothetae of
America, for the continuance of an
i::-parte injunction restraining the
International Printing Pressmen and
Assistants' Union of North America
and allied printers" unions from re
fusing to carry out an agreement
trade last January with the typothetae.
Former Justice Steckler, who recently
appeared for several of the printers'
i-nions, contended in his argument be
fore the court some time ago that
the court had no jurisdiction to grant
such an injunction, and that the issu
ance of such injunction was Illegal.
Mi. Steckler declared that men could
rot be forced to do work when they
(13 not want to. Mr. Fell argued that
tiie unions had violated their agree
ir.mts.
j Justice McCall, in denying the mo
tion ior a continuance ot me injunc
tion, said that he had serious doubts
it. regards to the existence of the
v.-'lidity or binding force of the con
tract such as to warrant the granting
ol the injunction.

JUST A LITTLE POINTER.
how Manager Green Can Secure a
Lot of Enthusiastic Rooters.
Just because it is interested in the
great national game, and also because
It wants to make everything pleasant,
The Wageworker takes occasion to
drop a few pointers in the immediate
vicinity of Manager Green's ear.
Of all the wage earners who spenJ
their money at the gate, the union
wage earners outnumber the non
union wage earners two or three to
ote. The non-union man doesn't care
a snap about labeled gaods, but the
union man does. The non-unionist will
1-uy the goods regardless. The union,
i.-t will not. For thai reason it is
wise to offer the stuff that will sell
to both the union made stuff. Man
ager Green and may his venture pros
per financially and otherwise could
do a good stroke of business for him
self by seeing to it that these to whom
he sells the concessions are "square."
Iii ether words that the score cards
will bear the label of the allied print
ing trades and the cigars the bine
label of the cigarnvakers' union.
Just little things, but enough little
things make a plenty. Now is the
time to give these matters considera
tion, and because we want everything
Lively, 'and everything smooth, we
cCer these little suggestions to the
gentleman who is going to give Lin
coln a pennant-winning team next
season.
Win tlie pennant.
Cinch, If playing ball will win it.
TESTING THE LAW.
Will See if Child Labor Can be Util
ized on Theatre Stage.
What can very easily degenerate in
to a faive and thus destroy the intent
of thi child labor law is the case of
iio Si ale of Nabr.iaka va. Frank Zeii
rung, p.unager of the Oliver. Mr. Zeh
rung !s charged with violating the
child labor law by employing or al
lowing .to be employed in his theatre,
a chil.l below the legal age. . Deputy
Labor Commissioner Ryder lilpd a
complaint against Mr. Z.-hruns Mon
day mo'.-iilng, and the alleged offlenses
having been committed :he Saturday
night before.
Word has been handed out that this
Is a" friendly suit" instituted for the
purpose f testing the law. That is
all right. Without any personal feel
ing whatever Tlie Wageworker wants
this "friendly suit" fought to a finish.
It mustn't be so darned friendly as to
make the cMld labor law farcical.
Hie prohibition of child actors is all
right and ought to be just as legal in
Nebraska as in New York. Actors
and actresses who haven't enough abil
ity to make their living on the stage
ought not to be allowed to put their
children at the business before they
are givrn a chance to get a common
school education.

and body were terribly crushed. He
was an expert craneman and said by
his fellow employes to be an unusual
ly competent and careful man. But
care could not prevent the- breaking
of the rope, or rather could not forsee
it. and the result -was death to the
craneman.

age and lived at University Place.
His wife was immediately notified of
the acident and reached his side be
fore he was taken from the shop. He
