That a Non-Union
Should Oust Them.
Band
The anion musicians of Lincoln are
just a titUe bit astonished that the
Liacoln Bryan Club should overlook
a local band that is mad? op of nnioa
musicians and select an outside band
that Is non-union to be the "official
band on the Denver convention trip.
Local musicians were ignored by the
Woodmen state rally, and the state
fair managers hare secured the ser
vices sf three outside bands for fair
Nov comes the local democrat
ic club an 1 also gives preference to
an cotside band. This rather Inclines
the local union musicians to the belief
'that they are being discriminated
against on account of their unionism.
They played for Woodmen and fcr
state fairs before titer organized.
Local democrats deny that there is
aiy discrimination. They declare that
the democratic club has no money
wi;h which to hire a band, and that the
Hebron band was selected because it
offered to go for its bare expenses,
and the democrats cf Thayer county cf
fered to pay half of that. The Trave-J-irg
Men's Bryan Club seems to hare
taken the lead in the matter cf secur
ing music.
We simply can not rais money
-? t to pay a band's expenses and
wages to its aeembers." said an official
of the Traveling Mea's Club. "It will
nuke w hustle to raise oar share of
the txpeus;s of the Hebron band. We
are gaiag down in our individual
pockets for everything, and there is
plenty of opportunity for paying out
money. Tjw can say for the dab that
IT it had money enough to hire a union
band and pay union wages, it would
be uaioc band that went with us. Bat
we are not hiring any band. We are
simply taking up a voluntary eoUec
Ooa and paying a little towards the
expenses of a band that is furnished
by the democrats of Thayer county."
Local musicians have been agitating

likely that the international officers

IV. A BETTER UNDERSTANDING..
There probably has never been a J
time in the history of ihe labor move-1
ment when the church and labor were)
a
so close together as they are now.j
There are several reasons for this
changed altitude. It is due, in part,
and perhaps principally, to - the fact
that they understand each other bet
ter. Much has been accomplished in
this direction through the exchange of
fraternal delegates between Central
Labor bodies and Ministers' Associa
tions. Each has come to see that the
oiher is really human, made of flesh
and blood, of heart and brain, and
with very much the same temptations
and the same aspirations for tter
things, even " though " they "are" some
tiaees differently expressed. Each"" is
giving the other credit for honesty
of purpose and devotion to what each
considers the best ideals. And that
means a great deal. The workingman
has seen that, mixed up with this"rs
lieious" life of the churchman, there
is a social and economic interest and
influence whkl. . he had not known
about, and the minister has, had Ills
eyes opened to the religious element
which is hidden in the " economic
straggle of the workingman.
While the churchman still believes
that without a moral and a spirit
vision, the people are bound to perish,
he has also teamed that the church
cannot succeed without the rugged
strength of the common people. The
charch needs most of all, not the rich
and the mighty, but those who can suf
fer and toil as Christ toiled and suf
fered. Who knows better than the
working people how to do these
things?
The workingman has been learning
that ""man cannot live by bread atone."
There are some things even more im
portant than "bread." far there are
some things which are more more im
portant than life itself. This isn't
verr tempting truth to offer starving
aim. but workingmen have neverthe
less learned the lesson. For what
means the sacrifice for others which!
one sees so often among the lowly?
Xo here is there greater sacrtfice'than
arjong those who have least 'to give.
Coming from different roads, both
church and labor have been approach
ing the same great truths, not realis
ing that they have both been working
away, largely ignorant of each, other
lafccrs. toward a common end,
. And sjme day, very- much as those
who tuaelled from opposite direction
beneath the Hudson river, came to
gether with mathematical exactness
at the completion of their tasks, so
the church and labor were come to
gether, having prepared the way for
suffering millions who needed greater
conmfort and better facilities for their
life's work. Rev. Charles SleUle.
was a decided success," both in the
cumber who participated and in the
enjoyment had.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, in convention at Columbus,
Ohio, took action on the electrical
problem. Motormen operating elec
tric engines which have taken the
place of steam engines are admitted
I:- full membership. In addition,
motormen on elevated railways or
subways are eligible, and motormen
on roads operating twenty or more
miles of track outside of a city. In
fact, the report takes in almost every
man running a train by motive power,
except motormen on surface street
car lines. It has been suggested that
the brotherhood be divided into two
divisions one electrical and one
steam. f
The National Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers has a membership
of 70,000, and holds contracts with
107 railroads, including all the trunk
lines and most of the smaller roads.
Officers of the organization handle
pnt every one of the members :a jaS.
Here is a baBy chance to pat this
"contempt of coartT business oa the
bum. Wouldn't it be great if every
one of the 15,0! men appearei and
admitted their contempt? Wouldn't the
taxpayers of Cook county raise a roar
of the whole array of 15.WO were seat
to jail and had to be fed for a moats
or two at public expense?
But if these 15.000 men did admit
their contempt for Judge Carpenter
he wouldn't dare jail them. He could
n't. The people wouldn't stand for it
There wouldn't be jail room for tea
per cent of them. The carpenters
and machinists ought to call Judge
Carpenter's bluff, and call it good and
strong. ...
PYTHIANS ALL. RIGHT. ;
The supreme lodge Knights of Py
thias, which meets in Boston in August.-
has announced that it wjll have
the biggest parade in the history of
the order, and say that only anion
bands will be allowed to participate.
That sounds so good to the editor, of
this humble little labor paper that he
is going to hustle around and "get
so as re" with the good old order. He
used, to be a Pythian, and now he
knows he ought to get back in line.
OFFERED A TREAT.

three-fourths of its first page to Miss

And yet a lot of union men seek; to
excuse their failure to hear this -won

Wouldn't that jar you?
But They Did Not Take Advantage:

The unionists of Lincoln were offered
a treat Thursday evening of last week,
but they passed it up. Out of 2,50m
union men in this community, just
twenty took advantage of the rare
opportunity ta hear Miss Haley.
Not less than fifty union men have
declared in the presence of the editor
of The Wageworker that they never
heard that Miss Haley was to speak
in Liutoin. "Why wasn't it adver
tised?" they asked. Miss Haley s
visit to Lincoln was advertised ia the

It has been reported that the Loco
motive Engineers of Lincoln have re
fused to take hold of the Labor Tem
ple project because the articles of
incorporation set out that no organ
ization not affiliated with the Amer
ican Federation of Labor can hold
stock as an organization, and the
B. of L. E. does not affiliate. If the
hacal division will send a representa
tive to a meeting of the board of
directors of the Labor Temple asso
ciation the matter can be explainej
to .his satisfaction. The engineers
ought to be boosting the Temple
project.

it will be increased.
