Lincoln's union broom factory has
petered out, owing to the fact that
Lincoln merchants would rather
handle convict made brooms and make
a little larger profit. And Lincoln
unionists stood for it, too more
shame to them. ,
Suppose (fhe government should is
sue $500,000,000 in treasury notes and
pay them out for the ordinary ex
penses of the government wouldn't
that help some? And why not do it
instead of issuing the money through
the banks?
THE GREAT DIFFERENCE.
There is ft great difference between
unions of workingmen and onions of
business men and the difference is
not to the credit of the workingmen.
When the business men see the ne
cessity of standing togther they stand
together. Workingmen when con
fronted with a situation that demands
united action proceed to quarrel
among themselves.
Did you take note of how the bank
ers acted during the late financial
flurry which, by the way, hasnt
quit flurrying yet? On Saturday night
when the banks quit business for the
week, everything was lovely to all
appearances. Monday morning de
positors couldn't get a dollar of cash
under any circumstances. Every bank
was ready with an explanation and
with "cashier's checks" instead of the
real stuff.
Why?
Because the hankers got together.
The wires were kept hot all day
Sunday, and when the hanks opened
up Monday morning they were act
ing together as one bank.
There is a lesson for organized la
bor right there. If workingmen would
act together like the banks, they
would win their battles without fir
ing a shot.
If the banks had not stood together
as one, the result would have been
disastrous. As it was, they weather
ed the storm without losing a bit of
the rigging.
Workingmen have been acting as in
dividuals so long that they seem to
have contracted a chronic case of it
And what is the result? Well, look
at a few injunctions and adverse
court decisions given them during the
last two or three weeks. And they'll
get plenty more of them, too, as the
days go by. What's the use of paying
any attention to the "labor vote?'
says the wily professional politician
The average workingman, will talk
mighty Independent between times,
but on election day the party niana
gers just shake a partisan rag In the
faces of laboring men, and off they
go on a partisan rampage that would
make an enraged bull look like a
Quaker meeting.
Ever see the hankers dividing on
party lines when their interests were
at stake?
Not they! The hankers are too
wise. They work as a unit when it
comes to any question affecting them
as bankers.
But the workingmen are different
more's the pity.
When will the workingmen make
a united strike, just like the hankers'
strike a few months ago. For it was
a strike, pure and simple, that the
bankers indulged in. And they didn't
even offer to arbitrate, either. They
didn't have to, for they had the mat
ter in their own hands.
So, too, have the workingmen of
this great country. They can strike
at the ballot box if they will, and
when they do so unitedly they will
not have to offer to arbitrate. They'll
be in a polstion to do just like the
bankers.
' -THE PARK PROPOSITION.
The Wageworker invites the atten
tion of everyone of its readers to the
park bond proposition printed on the
first page. It means so much to the
wage earners of Lincoln that it does
not seem possible that they will neg
lect the opportunity. But to make
the plan a success everyone must
take hold and work.
Get one of the petitions, sign it
and then circulate it for more sig
natures.
Talk the proposition over. It
means employment for Lincoln labor.
It means park improvements, and
heaven knows Lincoln needs- some
thing in that line. It means that the
men who have profited by the toil
Congressman Hinshaw will have to
explain a lot to the union, men in his
district. And so will Congressman
Norris. There are a lot of union men
in the districts represented by these
two advocates of a notorious enemy
of organized labor.
More lives are sacrificed in the me
chanical trades in the United States
every year than were lost in any two
battles of the civil war, counting the
losses to both armies. The cheapest
tl'ing on the market today is
human life.
The union men in New York who
violated an injunction were sent to
jail without trial. The beef packers
who violated an injunction went to
Eurojie as usual.
Isn't there a good union man in the
First Congressional district, that we
could send to congress,- just for a
change? And wouldn't it be a wel
come change?
Three or four union men on the
Lancaster legislative delegation next
session would look almighty good,
And now is the time to make it a sure
thing.
President Roosevelt is winding up
his term by saying a whole lot in fa
vor of the workingman. He neglected
about six years, however.
Mr. Taft lost out in the Lancaster
county primaries. A few union men
n'ust have butted in and spoiled the
plans of the machine.
Chief Justice Fuller, who handed
down the decision in the Danbury hat
case, is a democrat. And that isn't
all, either.
By the way, we haven't heard of
the full dinner pail" for several
weeks. Mark Hanna will he sadly
missed.
March solidly on Labor day, and
then vote solidly on election day Any
other course is little short of idiotic,
It is illegal to boycott the Buck
Stove and Range Co., but it is treason
to unionism to patronize it.
Senator Burkett will have . a lot of
explaining to do to union men when
he comes home this summer.
Vote as you pay dues, and let the
professional politicians go to thunder.
It's air in the label.
A RAY OF SUNSHINE.
One Injunction Against Labor Dis
solved For a Change. '
Last week organized labor saw one
little ray of sunshine -amidst the
gloom of court injunctions and ad
verse decisions.
Judge McLemore has dissolved the
Injunction obtained In his court at
Norfolk, Va., some time ago -by the
Luckenbach Towing Co., of Brooklyn,
N. Y., by which members of the Nor
folk Marine Engineers' union were re
strained from interferring with the
employes on the Luckenbach tugs in
an effort to bring on an engineers'
strike.
Judge McLemore ruled that no in
junction could lie until violence was
attempted, and that members of the
Engineers' union were within their
rigths in endeavoring by argument or
other fair means to have t employes
of the plaintiffs quit their employment.
WILL FIGHT LITTLEFI ELD.
E. Y. Turner to Be Labor Opponent
to Congressman.
A Lew is ton, Me., dispatch says la
bor organizations in the Second Con
gressional district will nominate a
candidate for Congress . They hope
to defeat ' Congressman Littlefleld.
The man' selected will not be a
radical labor man, but one interested
in their principles, E. Y. Turner, of
Auburn.
The nomination is to be made early
in the season before any . other con
vention. It is expected that the demo
crats will then endorse Mr. Turner.
In the last congressional campaign
the laboring men. contended that the
campaign of Samuel Gompers was
handicapped in this district by the
fact that neither of the old parties
had a candidate whom the labor or
ganizations could endorse. Sioux City
Advocate.
MEN AND BABIES.
Difference Between Them Tersely and
Forcibly Stated.
To the opqnents of trades unions.
to the rantejrs against organized la
bor, we respectfully commend the fol
lowing editorial in the Chattanooga
Labor Leader:
"If a lawyer violates the 'rule of
ethics'- or fails to tote square to his
clients and the other members of the
bar, he is unceremoniously -kicked
down and out by the court and his
former legal associates:
"If a mechanic totes unfair to his
associates, and proves himself a
sneak and devoid of honor, and hon
est, loyal mechanics put their stamp
of disapproval upon him, he rushes
into court and asks that they be en-r
joined from trying to make him tote
fair, and then seeks the harbor which
welcomes all strike-breakers, the open
shop."
