Cotton weaving In Africa, under the crude methods employed by the na tives, is a stow process. A skilled workman can weave three yards a day and is considered a crackerjack. I.abor organizations will live, thrive and be successful. The noble men and women who constitute its mem bership cannot be discouraged in faith, frightened from allegiance, or bull Keep away from Sarf Francisco! Pay no attention to advertisements in daily papers for men. Conditions are not as represented. Wages are low, conditions poor, livin& high, and every trade is overrun with men. dozed by court decisions. Workingmen hate a traitor and a crook above all other things. The man who attains an office of trust at their hands and hastens to degrade it and rob those who have honored him is their deadliest nemy and they know it. Boilermakers throughout the United. States are protesting against the noise resulting from the use of pneumatic tools which destroy the nerves and health of the men. It is said that these tools' are yearly becoming more pow; erful and harmful to those who use them in their work..

RECTOR'S I2th and O Whitten is a hustler from Hustlers vllle, and has the ability to organize and plan and carry out moves for the upbuilding of Lincoln. Since he en tered the employ of the Commercial Club that body has commenced to achieve results. It has secured a cor rection of a great many injustices in the mater of railroad rales, it has se cured new industries, it has advertised Lincoln, and !t has awakened a civic pride and patriotism that promises well for the future. ELECTRICAL WORKERS. Elects Officers for the Ensuing Year and Starts Off Well. n The Electrical Workers nave elected the following officers for the ensuing term: President, C. M. Anderson. "financial secretary, W. L. Mayer. Recording secretary, G. E. Vennuui. Trustees, Mark Carveth, Henry Streeter, B. B. Joslin. Work continues good and practically ever member has steady employment. Tlie University Place job is opening up in line shape, and in a week or two a. big force of men will be at work in stalling the new auspmatic system in that flourishing suburb. Work on the automatic system in Omaha is being pushed and the de mand for men there keeps the local field well' drained, thus furnishing steady work here. The union has changed meeting place and will hereafter meet at 1034 O street. In a short time a handsome electric sign will be placed in front of the hall for the guidance of the gen eral public. The union meets on Thursday night The Electrical Worker are proud of the part their representatives are play ing in the Labor Temple movement. Tho Electrical Workers were the first to "come across" with a subscription of $100 to the Temple fund, and indi vidual members are following suit in fine shape. Three outside locals have purchased stoch, thus swelling the grand total of Electrical Worker subscriptions. STONE CAPTURED. Recreant Official of Leatherworkers Union Found in Utah. Joseph J. Stone, charged with hav ing embezzled the funds of the local union of Leatherworkers on Horse Goods while financial secretary of that body, was located and arrested in Utah several days ago. On Tuesday George Bush, acting for the local, swore out a complaint charging Stone with the crime, and an officer started at once for Salt Lake City to bring him back. Stone suddenly disappeared from Lincoln some six or eight months ago, and an examination of his books showed him to be short over J150. The local union, however, was none the Io3er, Stone having been bonded. The bonding company immediately made good the shortage and set its detectives on Stone's trail. His pho tograph, was published in the official organ and a few days ago he was lo cated at Salt Lake City. When Stone left Lincoln he left his wife and an infant daughter and it was reported that domestic trouble was the cause of bis flight. This was denied by Mrs. Stone, who said that her hus band had made one or two unfortun ate investments, using the funds of the union temporarily, and when set tlement time came he fled rather than face the music. It is not known whether she is with him or with her folks at Tecumseh. She left Lincoln a month of si after Stone disap peared. The complaint was lodged against Stone by the local union, hut at (he instance of the -bonding company, and the local, although the loss has been made good, will prosecute. t THE BARBERS. Forget Business for a While and Enjoy Themselves -Hugely. The members of the local Barbers' Union were the hosts Wednesday night, and the employing barbers and the non-union barbers were the guests. The occasion was a sort of "open house" affair for the purpose of getting together and getting better acquainted ; to frankly talk about some matters and freely express opinions.- In point of numbers it was the largest social ever held by the local. In point of interest and enthusiasm it was long to be remembered. It was especially pleasing to the local to see a number of the non-union barbers present in response to the invitation, and nothing was left undone to make these visitors feel at home. Presi dent McBride called the gathering to order after the local had transacted a little routine business behind closed doors, and from that moment until midnight there was something doing all the time. Several of the employing barbers made brief addresses, among them being Messrs. Green, Leopold, B&rtle man, Chaplin and Bowmen. Several journeymen spoke briefly. All the re marks were along the line of getting better acquainted and working more harmoniously and the utmost good feeling prevailed. At 10 o'clock the mysterious sounds in an adjoining room were explained, for at that time it was announced that supper was ready. There was a great plenty of oysters, pickels, celery and coffee, and after them plenty of good union made cigars. Then came sing ing, card playing, music and boxing bouts to keep everybody 'busy and happy. From start to finish it was a lively affair and thoroughly enjoyed by all present. The committee hav ing the function in charge is entitled to credit for the splendid work it per formed. : " ; ' Work in the barber line is reported slack at this time. Local barbers are still laughing over the story from Central . City. A man got into a chair in Central City and the barber shaved him. Then the customer coincided with the barber's view ""that a haircut was necessary. So' followed curling of the mustache, face massage, egg shampoo and every thig that goes. When the operation was concluded the barber was horri fied to learn that the customer was crazy and didn't have a cent. Robert Strain, who has been under the weather for a long time, is feel ing a lot 'better. BRICKLAYERS WARNED .. Will Enforce Rule Against Accepting Cards In Contested Territory. In response to complaints received from local unions the Executive Board" of the International ; Union of Brick layers and Masons has issued notice that locals engaged in a contest with employers will receive the support of the , board in refusing to recognize traveling cards of tne International Union. The notice sent out by the board states that "traveling members in great numbers will still persist in going into the jurisdiction Ot unions that are involved in the open-shop struggle, notwithstanding repeated warning and requests to stay away." Attention is calleflflo the fact that there are now more tnan 1,000 locals connected with the international and that consequently traveling members can have their cards renewed by unions that are not engaged in local fights. The notice concludes with a warn ing to all members to stay away from the following towns, in which the unions 'are engaged in "a fight to the finish against the open shop;" Louis ville, Ky., Washington, D C; Will mington and Lyon, Mass.; Wllkes Barre and Benwick, Pa., and Los An geles, Cal. WHAT IS A "RAT 7' A Few Words About the Most De spicable Form . of Genus Rodent. Men and women engaged in the printig trades have a pet name for the soulless individual who is low enough and mean enough to profit toy the sacrifices and toil of his fellows. Other tradesmen call this class "scabs," but printing tradesmen call them "rats." The village of Hamelin, in a country of Europe, was once in fested with a plague of Tats, and the plague was unstayed until the famous Pied Piper appeared on the scene and offered to get rid at the rodents if paid a certain sum. The village burghers agreed, and the Pled Piper tuned up his pipes. The rodents fol lowed him until he led them into a hole in the mountain, which closed be hind them forever. Then the Pied Piper demanded his money. Then it was the burghers showed that too long association -with Tats had made them as crooked as the modern ro dents of the printing trades. Having been rid ,of the rats, they refused to pay up. Thereupon the Pied Piper again tuned up his pipes, and this time he led the children of the village into the same hole in the mountain, and from that day to this neither piper nor children hare been seen. Doubtless this story is the founda tion for the term "rat" which print ing tradesmen apply to the narrow browed, white-livered .treacherous ani mals who sneak around like the ro dents of Hamelin and live fat on the toil anil sacrifices of the men and women who have brought about en durable conditions. . . . Lincoln, happily,' has only a few of these long-tailed, sneaking animals. Just at present they are not walking around in public much. They prefer the sight of decent, generous, square the sight of decent, generous, suaer tradesmen of the printing crafty. But if you 'happen a meet up . with one you will have little difficulty in "spot ting" them. The shifty eye, the hang dog expression, give them away. Look out for them and avoid them as you would any other plague. Rats, whether of 'the four-footed or the two footed kind, carry all manner of con tagious disease, the only difference being that while the four-footed ro dents carry physical disease, the two footed kind carry moral and Social disease. STELZLE KNOWS HIS JOB. The Machinist-Preacrier Doing, a Big x Work for Unionism. The Rev. Charles Stelzle made a very pleasant impression on some four hundred ministers of Boston whom he addressed on Decemner 9 in' the historic-Park Street Church, under the auspices of tne Evangelical Alliance, on "The Church and the Working man." Somehow Mr. Stelzle had gained the idea that not so many ministers might be present to hear him, bat the ministers of Boston are always ready to hear a strong man talk in a strong way on a good cause, provided he knows something about it and Mr. Stelzle certainly, to drop into the lingo of the shops, "knows his job," and is doing his work well. ' The influence ot the Department of Church and Labor, of which he is the head, is reaching out far beyond the bounds of the Pres byterian church- and is showing' bow progressive in '' practical Christian work a conservative church can be. None of the so-called liberal branches ot the churh have anything to com pare In significance with Mr. Stelzle's work. , This is said not boastfully, but ad a proof of the virility of the old doc trines to work out helpfully into mod ern conditions of life churchly, social ly ' and politically. New . York Observer. VIRTUE SPASM Congressman Clark of Florida, has introduced a bill in the House, pro hibiting the transportation in tfie mails, or the depositing In any mail receptacle, of any newspaper, maga zine or other publication containing the alleged facts of any divorse suit, murder case, or other preceding' "of an indecent or immoral character, of which would - tend to corrupt' the young.'
