A UNION REVIVAL.
Tbe Central Labor Union of Lincoln,
aided by tne affiliated unions as a
whole, has undertaken what it hopes
ail! prove to be a genuine old-fashioned
revival of interest in the anion
labor movement. Something, if you
preese, after tbe manner of the old
time Methodist revival when men and
women, moved by the spirit, did not
hesitate to shout "Amen!" and "Glory
Halleujah:' and when the Methodist
church was reaching men as it has not.
perhaps reached men in these days
of less demonstrative religion. That
Lincoln unionists need a revival can
not be questioned by men who are ac
tively in touch with the prevailing
condition of union affairs.

Rev. William Batch, pastor of Trin
ity Methodist church, Lincoln, and an'
avowed friend of organized labor, is
the delegate to the Baltimore confer
ence who aroused that great body to
the need of organizing a "labor bu
reau' in the Melhodist church organi
zation. We're proud of Rev. Mr. Batch
and here's hoping he will be put in
charge of the bureau.
Death bed repentance may be all
right, but we prefer the man who has
been on the square all his life. That's
the reason we look with suspicion up
on William H Taft's sudden and ex
ceedingly late expressions of love for
the workingman.
Naturally eniugh the United States
senators who sneered at a ""Mothers"

Columbia child labor law so a coach

without touching the sides.

of the toiling masses, consented to
preach a special sermon to union men
and women. One would think that the 1
comfortable little church might be too
small to hold the crowd of unionists
who would take advantage of this op
portunity. But it was plenty large
enough. Tbe music was insniriing. and
the sermon was not only a seniron
brimming over with Christian senti
ment, but overflowing with genuine
unionism and there were less than
two score union men present to tes
tify by being there that they were in
terested in the two great forces work
in for the betterment of humanity the
union and the church.
In view of this it is safe to say-
again that Lincoln trades unionists
need a revival. Perhaps a resurrec
tion would be better.
The Central Labor Union hopes to
make the two dates mentioned here
and elsewhere May 2) and 21 mem
orable in the annals of Lincoln trades
unionism. On the evening of May 2)
there will be a movins picture enter
tainment, and in conjunction will be
an illustrated lecture on the label
movement. There will be plenty of
good music, and the whole will prove
to be an entertainment equal to any
ever given, in tbe city.
On Thursday evening Miss Margar
et A. Haley of Chicago will address
the people. Now a word as to this
splendid woman.
Miss Haley is vice-president of the
Teachers Federation of Chicago, which
body is affiliated with the Chicago
Trades and Labor Council under the
American Federation of Labor. The
fact that the teachers ot Chicago are
unionized has caused the machine poli
ticians of the Windy City a world of
trouble. A few years ago the teach
ers of Chicago then unorganized
petitioned the school board for an in
crease in wages. The petition was
denied on the excuse that the board
had no money. Then Miss Haley and
Miss Mary McDowell, both students of
industrial and economical conditions
got busy. They organized the Teachers
Federation, Miss McDowell being
elected president and Miss Haley
vice-president and "business agenL'
Miss Haley began investigating to as
certain why a great and rich city like
Chicago could pay no more than a pit
tance to her teachers, and discovered
that the reason lay in the fact that a
lot of big corporations were dodging
their taxes, while the owners of small
homes and business enterprises were
being taxed to the limit. She mar
shalled her facts and figures and pre
sented them to the Cook county board
of review. This board, dominated by
the big .tax dodgers, refused to acL
Miss Haley invoked the aid of the
courts. She fought the case through
to the sunreme court and finally forced
The Melhodist Episcopal church is
waking up to the fact that it must take
cognizance of industrial conditions if
it' would better spiritual condition.
When the great Methodist church gets
busy something happens.
The two greatest men this world
ever produced were skilled craftsmen.
Christ was a carpenter and Paul was
tenuuaker. Can you imagine for a
minute that these fractsmen were non-
unionists?

measures a man's value to society by
his service and not by his pocket book.
"We are far from the ideal social
state. What is our responsibility in
realizing the ideal social conditions?
We ought to have a part in the evolv
ing of society to the plane of love, jus
tice and brotherhood. We must love
the truth and follow it; love our fel
low men and be willing to serve them,
universial brotherhood ill become a
reality by the universal diffusion of
love. I knew a family of eight boys
and four girls. Sickness often entered
that home. In fact one was a weakling
and never able to add much to the in
come. The sick were always cared for
and the weak brother gladly helped
and supported. Each one received ac
cording to his needs and gave accord
ing to his ability. This is my concep
tion of the ideal state of society. Men
and brethern, such a condition shall
come to pass when all men fulfill the
law of love which is the law of Christ.
Then shall strife and wrong and pas
sion pass away and righteousness and
peace rule the heads and hearts of
men. "Bear ye one anothers burdens
and so fulfill the law of Christ.'
LABOR TEMPLE BOARD.
A lot of congressmen wha are frit
tering away their time and drawing
$7,504 a year for it are opposed to or
ganized labor's demand for a fair
day's pay .for a fair day's work.
Gee, but the ncica worker is getting
a lot of love and sympathy, now that
the political campaign is warming up.
Ever notice how they love the working-
man just before election?
The workingmen of the country
couldnt go to the Pacific coast to see
the fleet, but they furnished the money
that enabled a lot of other people to
SO.
What tickles us is to hear a lawyer
denouncing trades unions. The law
yers union is the limit in the wir of
"closed shop" conditions.
A few good trades unionists in the
legislature next winter would look
pretty good. It depends on you wheth
er they are there or not.
Of course, if uniona!Tirs fail to
go your way you are helping a lot by
going off into a corner and pouting
about it-
If you don't tike the way the Labor
Temple project is coming along, sup
pose you just give it a shove or two
forward.
A lot of unionists never think of the
label until they get a chance to claim
they couldnt get union made goods.
Labor will come into its own just
as soon as it shows by its action that
it is worthy of its own.
Representative Littlefied got "cold
feet." but our Uncle Sammy Gompers
still has his pedal extremeties under
the table.
Arranges for Publicity and Helps to
Boost Label Exhibition.
The board of directors of the Labor
Temple Association met in regular
session Monday evening. Owing to
the enforced absence of Secretary I fa-
ringer very little routine business was
transacted. Mr. Maupin was made
temporary secretary. A committee
was appointed to arrange for a "pub
licity reception' according to plans
proposed some time ago. This com
mittee will arrange for a meeting with
business and professional men under
the auspices that will command their
attention and permit the directors to
make them acquainted with the plans
of the association. For obvious reas
ons the details of this plan can not at
this time be made public
Seeing in the coming union label
exhibition an opportunity to gain pub
licity for the temple project the direc
tors decided to help in a financial way,
but without drawing on the money sub
scribed .for stock. The directors will
see to it that the Temple is properly
boosted during the "revival." The
directors also talked over two or three
other plans for getting all the facts
before the people of Lincoln, and out
of the discussion some good will doubt
less result. The following directors
were present:
Dickson. Weckesser, Ress, Rudy,
Walker, Pickard. Chaplin, Maupin.
At next Monday evening's meeting
the board will take up the matter of
arranging its part in the label exhi

against Attorney's Appointment.
Mr. Gompers has the audacity to
protest the appointment of a railroad
attorney as United States district
judge for Idaho. We are astonished
at your temerity. Mr. Gompers! Dont
you know that a railroad attorney is
just what is wanted for a United
States district judge in Idaho? The
railroad interests all want him; so
does the Citizens Alliance and the
Mine Owners Association, and the
Manufacturers Association. Then.
what right have you with your litle
three million workingmen to protest
against this appointment? This coun

common working people, we'd have
you to know sir! Tour protest will be
