A DOUBTFUL TRICK.
If The Wageworker Is not badly
misinformed, Thomas Darnall of Lin
coln played a very low trick upon the
unionists of Fremont a few days ago.
Mr. Darnall, who poses as the legal
advisor of the Nebraska Anti-Saloon
League, went to Fremont recently and
advertised a lecture, claiming that
he would speak on the Moyer-Hay
wood trial and other matters of in
terest to union men. It was stated
in the advance notices tnat Mr. Darn
all was qualified to speak on this top
ic, having visited the scene, heard a
portion of the trial, and studied the
question thoroughly. Fremont is a
organized city? and naturally the union
men turned out in numbers to hear
the speaker.
It transpired that Mr. Darnall did
not speak on the announced subject.
It appears that he simply used that
as a bait to get union men out so he
could deliver himself of his usual ti
rade against the liquor dealers and
all those who are not like hiniseli.
blatant prohibitionists, who are as
intemperate in language as some men
are in their libations ' Mr. Darnall
spent about three minutes in a gen
eral mention of the labor question,, and
then proceeded to give vent to his
stereotyped prohibition speech.
Of course Mr. Darnall ifc well with
in his rights when he fights the sa
loon, and also well within his rights
when he occupies the public ros
trum to denounce the liquor Interests.
But he was guilty of gross falsehood
if he announced an address on labor
in order to attract an audience of
workingmen, and then, having them
in front of him, proceeded to talk
about something else. This may ap
pear to Mr. Darnall to be perfectly
proper and wholly moral, but there
are a lot of people who will character
ize it as being as dishonest as sub
stituting deleterious substances for
the drugs prescribed by -a physician.
Of course Mr. Darnall may salve his
conscience by saying that after all
what he had to say was of great bene
fit "to the workingmen who were de
luded into hearing him. And doubt
less that it what he will say if asked
for an explanation. There are a lot of
men and women connected with the
Anti-Saloon League who are too hon
est to condone such a species of de1
ception.
We are not going to denounce Mr.
Darnall. We have performed our
duty when we issue this warning to
the state. If they want to hear an
anti-saloon speech they can be satis
fied by listening to Mr. Darnall, pro
vided they are that easily satisfied.
But if he advertises a talk on labor
topics they are warned that he is
trying to sell them a gold brick. .
It is not so stated, but doubtless Mr.
Darnall was not entirely satisfied with
the results of the collection taken up
at his Fremont meeting.
AN AMUSING CUSS.
Charles W. Post, late of Battle
Creek, Mich., now of New York, is an
"amoosin' kuss," as Artemus Ward
said of his kangaroo. His diatribe in
the ' Tuesday dailies, "'Free Riot'
Laws," was so silly, so vindictive; for
full of falsehood and so malicious that
it hurt not one but Post.
Perhaps there are a few people in
this immediate vicinity who do not
know Charles W. Post. . If such there
be, The Wageworker will endeavor
to enlighten them.
Charles W. Post is the manufactur
er of an alleged breakfast food and
a substitute for coffee. It has been
charged and never denied, that Post,
while sick and practically a charlty
patient in the Sanitarium of the Ad
ventists at Battle Creek, stole their
formula for what he afterwards call
ed "Postum." He began manufactur
ing, in a small way, assisted by a de
voted wife who had suffered many
prfvations while he was endeavoring
to secure a foothold. Post prospered
and money rolled in. In all this his
good wife aided him. When he be
came rich he succumbed to an "af
finity." Mrs. Charles W. Post, se
cured a divorce from on the grounds
of cruelty, and before the ink on the
decree was dry. Post married a sten
ographer in his , office.
This is the fellow who is saying so
many harsh things of trades unionists.
He is a joke.
Gladys Vanderbilt has just traded
her millions s for a Hungarian title
with an imitation man thrown in. The
American aristocracy would soon fiz
zle out were it not for the fact that
now and then one of the male mem
bers marries an American girl and
thus gets some real tiood back into
the family veins.
President Roosevelt says that one
of the remarkable facts about the
campaign in Cuba during the Yanko
Spanko war was the number of Amer
ican dead who were identified by the
union working cards in their pockets.
We haven't heard of any dead ones
found with National Manufacturers'
Association membership cards in their
pocRets.
The Appeal, to Reason apologized to
Harry Orchard for mentioning his
name in the same paragraph with
President Roosevelt. Theodore Roose
velt always a lucky man. Fool things
things like that are charged up to la
bor, although they should not be.
Whatever else may be said of Al
ton B. Parker his record on the" labor
question is straight as a string. His
ability as a lawyer is unquestioned.
In securing his to defend the Ameri
can Federation of Laoor in the Van
Cleave injunction suit, President Gom-
pers made a wise move.
Speaking as one who has known
Charles Magoon for nearly twenty
years, the editor or Tne wageworker
wants to say that a lot of republicans
have been mentioned for the presi
dency who lack a whole lot of being
Magoon's equal in point of brains, ex
perience and patriotism.
"Gripe Guts" Post charges that the
papers which refuse to publish his
paid attacks on organized labor are
afraid of the unions. He is wrong,
as usual. A paper that will publish
his frothings is forced to do so be
cause of an aching void in the busi
ness office as a rule. . ?. '
Col. Thomas Darnall ,the legal lu
minary1 and chief fugleman of the An-fi-Saloon
League, owes the unionists
of Fremont an apology. Getting an
audience by false pretenses is as bad
as securing money by false pretenses,
although it is not, unfortunately, pun
ishable by law. ; ,
Of course it is none of our business
but we would really like to , know. If
the Nebraska Railway Commission
can force a six-for-a-quarter fare on
Lincoln, why can't it enforce the same
thing in Omaha? .' '
If William Howard Taft is nomin
ated for president at the Chicago con
vention, the logical thing to do would
be to complete the ticket by nomi
nating James A.. Van. Cleave for vice-
president.
It is costing Col. Hammond as
much to get that job as it would have
cost extra to make his print shop
square and at the time of going to
press he had not yet landed the job.
It is reported on good authori that
William D. Haywood is no longer sec
retary-treasurer of the Western Feder
ation of Miners. According to the
rumor he was quietly dropped. . ;
All we've got to say is that the
man who can manage a furnace ' and
keep his temper is a good enough
Christian . to pass muster anywhere.
Six hundred Elks in Lincoln built
a $50,000 club house. Certainly 3,000
unionists can just as easily build a
$50,000 Labor Temple.
The union musicians are now read
ing The AVageworker. A lot of other
unionists should be doing the same
thing. ,
The articles made by union men are
the articles that should be demanded
by union buyers.
Get ready for 'the. big Labor Temple
financial campaign. You will all have
to help. ,
John R. Walsh, of Chicago, is an
other union hafer who is about to "get
his'n." .
Everybody - In Lincoln who dances
may now do so, to union made music.
If the dinner pail is full it Is be
cause it is smaller. '
1 After reading Post's ravings In the
Tuesday dailies, every union man
ought to hasten to the nearest gro
cer and buy some "gripe guts" and
"ghostum."
After careful study we have decided
that attacking helpless women is just
about District Attorney Jerome's fight
ing size.
UNION MADE STUFF.
Ground Out By a Card Man in
The
Wageworker's Brainery.
i
Facts.
You may talk of unionism till your
face is fairly blue;
You can show your working card
paid up to date, .
You may spout from hell to breakfast
of your unionism true,
But some honest facts it's well right
here to state.
If you haven't got the label on your
clothing, hats and shoes;
If you're smoking 'scab" tobacco
every day, ,
You are "scabbing" on your fellows
without shadow of excuse.
And you'd better square yourself
without delay.
When you spout your unionism best
be careful that your face
Isn't filled up with a "scab" made
cigaret;
For this talk of unionism doesn't come
with best of grace
From a "scab" tobacco laden breath
not yet.
When your working card you gather
from the pocket of a coat -
That no label ever has been sewed
therein.
You are "scabbing" on your fellows.
you are handing them the "goat"
And your union talk is most al
mighty thin.
When you prate of tiuionism and de
clare that you are "square,"
Best be careful you've a label , in
your hat.
For all. talk of unionism through a
"scab" hat is hot air.
And it makes your union claims
fall awful flat '
If yon don't demand the label every
time you go to buy.
You are givins aid and comfort to
the foe.
These are solemn truths, my brother,
and between us you and I.
They are truths that every union
man should know.
Scriptural.
The Garden of Eden was originally
a union shop.
Everything moved along smoothly
until an advocate oj- the open shop
entered.
"You should insist on running your
garden to suit yourself" said the or
iginal Parry ite. .
This sounded good to Adam and
Eve.
They insisted.' i
Sad to say, the same breed of snake
is talking the same thing to this day
and finding. listeners.
. Humane.
"Swiggs was fined ten dollars yes
terday for not blanketing his horse."
"Who made the complaint?"
"Figgs, the felow who refused to
chip in a nickle to buy the children of
Widow Spriggs some warm shoes.
Limerick.
There was a young man in' Brazil
Who smoked on a non-union pill; .
At the end of the smoke
He found himself broke, "
And nothing his stomach to fill.
Withdrew.
"What was Jones fired out of the
union for?"' ' . " -.
"Working overtime without report
ing it." '
"I didn't think he'd do it."
"Neither did we until we caught
him at it. His excuse was that it was
his own furnace."
Lucky.
"Simpkins seems to be prosperous
these - days."
"You bet he is. He's got a job
writing red hot articles against walk
ing delegates."
Cards., -
Union men are not made simply by
initiation.
The wise man studies both sides
of a question. .
No genuine union man can be a
slave to party.
Unionism is a matter of practice,
not of words.
Heaven does not always help those
who help themselves. Sometimes it
is the .sheriff. , .
The man who is behind in his dues
has no" moral right to kick on the ex
penditure of union funds.
No union advocates- strikes, but a
union without a strike clause in its
constitution is emasculated.
Scattering at the ballot box and
marching solidly on Labor Day will
never win industrial battles.
The non-union employer says he
wants to run his business to suit him
self. But he doesn't add ' the other
truth that he wants to run his em
ployees business to suit himself, too.
