THE BARBERS.
Little News of Craft Interest Afloat
These July Days.
' There isn't much news floating
around in barber circles these days.
"We're all working, and that's about
the best news I can give you," said
one of the local officers. "Everything
is lovely."
At noon today the union shops of
the city will close so as to give the
men a chance to celebrate the fact
that they live in a free country until
of
at
Si
A Cf
the supreme court gets a little further
along.
Some of these days two or three
of the local trades unions will receive
communications setting forth . the
fact that divers and sundry of their
members have a pernicious habit of
standing -on the corner and spouting
unionism and then dropping into un
fair barber shops for a shave or a
haircut. The barber boys are getting
tired of hearing such talk and seeing
such actions.
THE MUSICIANS.
Meet Up with a Little Trouble Over
Capital Beach Music.
The Musicians have been exper
iencing a little trouble over the Cap
ital Beach business, but , it promises
to be settled amicably. Director
Knight of the Dixie band employed
several local musicians to "fill out,"
but when pay day came there was a
hitch. Mr. Knight gave orders on the
Beach management, but these orders
were not honored, the management
contending that Mr. Knight had been
paid and that he was the one to look
after the payment of the musicians.
Secretary Norton attached the gate
receipts for a couple of days and thus
Insured payment to the local mem
bers. There is no claim that either
the Beach management or Mr. Knight
intended to avoid payment, the
trouble having its inception in a mis
understanding of the contract. Bus!
ness at the Beach was very poor
owing to the continued wet weather,
Denver or stay at home? That
Meets Sunday and Will Vote on Spe
cial Assesment and Amendments.
Lincoln Typographical-. Union No.
209 will meet at Fraternity hall Sun
day afternoon at 2:30. Business of
special importance is slated for trans
action. An assesment for local pur
poses is to be voted on, and also a
proposition to have a committee again
revise the constitution and by-laws
and get back some of the things left
out when the copy was prepared for
the printer.
The Dairyman-Country Merchant
shop in the Western Newspaper
Union building was squared up by the
executive committee the first of the
week. . J. E. Edgerton has taken
charge and the first thing he did was
to make condition such that he could
use the label. "Me for the union shop,"
he said. This puts a union printer
and a union pressman at work, with
prospects good for more work for
more men in the near future.
The Berthoud, Colorado, Bulletin,
edited and published by John E. Mar
shall, late of Lincoln, looks like ready
money. A fine line of advertising
shows that Berthoud merchants ap
preciate a good advertising medium,
and the local columns show that John
is getting out among them and cor
ralling the news in fine shape. The
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall
and they are numerous are rejoiced
to learn that they are doing well.
"Doc" Righter has planned it out
to take in Denver during the demo
cratic convention. "I won't pay much
attention to the political dopesters,"
says the genial Righter, "but I'll fly
aronnd and renew acquaintance with
any who may be left of the old bunch
I trained with in the good old days
when we were so cock-sure that they
never would make a machine that
could set type."
"Ted" Righter is back on his ma
chine after a week of camp life near
Valley.
The printer men are talking of put
ting up a man of their number for the
legislature this winter. "We've got
to get into the political game if we
ever accomplish results worth hav
ing," said one of the boys. "What
we want is a square-toed union man
and d n his politics."
Sam DeNedry of Washington man
aged to meet up with two or three
of the b'hoys while in Lincoln Tues
day. Sam is a member of Columbia
Union, and is a' delegate to the Den
ver convention. He says he yearns
to get back west, which is, after all,
God's country.
The Typographical Union has not
been represented at the meetings of
the Central Labor Union for several
weeks and Labor Day coming on..
THE CARPENTERS.
Brief Bits About the Boys Who Build
for Us.
Joe Patch, who is known as a notor-
ious scab, paid a visit to Labor Head
quarters a few days a,go. He brought
with him a loud voice which he work
ed overtime and behaved so boister
ously' that he was escorted to the
door much against his will by Bert
Dennis of the Carpenters Union, who
is built something on the order of
Frank Gotch, the champion . heavy
weight wrestler. What happened no
one seems to know, but the intruder
got out a warrant lfor Berts' arrest,
charging assault. The case came up
before Judge Ross and Attorney
Joseph Shannon who was employed by
the defendant disclosed the fact that
the plaintiff, Patch, was the man who
attempted to blow up the First Na
tional bank-last winter and Brother
Dennis was discharged.' Jack Riley
was the chief witness in the case and
his knowledge of the history of the
peace disturbed was a strong, factor
in having the case terminate as it did.
When Patch visits Labor Headquar
ters again if he ever does he will
probably have sense enough to try
and conduct himself like a gentle
man. Kansas City Labor Herald.
The carpenters are talking a little
politics these days, and are deter
mined to do their part towards getting
a couple of good union men in the leg
islature to represent Lancaster county
next winter. The local union has
several men amply qualified for the
place, and The Wageworker is right
here to boost for them from now until
after election and we don't care a
tinker's anathema what their politics
is, either.
Work isn't what it ought to be for
this season of the year. The "full
dinner pail" brigade" is slimmer than
";: Republican
it was. The prospects are getting
brighter, however. . ' '
LABOR LEADERS HERE.
Confer With Bryan About the Den
ver Platform Declarations.
Sam DeNedry and James Purcell,'
delegates to the Denver convention
from the District of Columbia, were
in Lincoln Tuesday, and while here
visited Fairview and consulted with
Mr. Bryan. DeNedry is a member of
the Typographical Union and secre
tary of the Washington City Trades
and Labor Council. Mr. Purcell is an
Electrical Worker and an organizer
in his district. They are enthusiastic
union men.
"We were satisfied with what we
heard at Fairview," said DeNedry.
"We are not asking anything especial.
All we want is a fair shake, and we
are assured that we'll get it."
"I guess every union man recog
nizes the sourness of the Chicago
lemon," said Mr. Purcell. "That in-
junction'plank means nothing, and if
it was meant to deceive organized la
bor its framers will be sadly fooled.
Course we saw Bryan, and of course
he treated us right. We expect to get
a fair shake at Denver, and a' fair
shake is all we want."
DeNedry and Purcell left for Den
ver Tuesday night. President 'Samuel
Gompers was in Lincoln for a few
hours Saturday and visited Fairview,
but his time was short and he had no
opportunity to visit with friends down
town.
THE BARTENDERS.
Making Preparations to Observe Me
morial Day in Near Future.
The Bartenders League of Lincoln
last July inaugurated the custom of
holding memorial services over the
graves of its deceased members, and
preparations are now under way -to
again observe the beautiful custom.
A committee is now arranging for the
proper observance of the day, and the
program when . completed will be
printed in The Wageworker.
The Wageworker editor wants to
acknowledge the assistance rendered
by the Bartenders in the work of ar
ranging - for the visit of Raymond
Robins to Lincoln. The boys "came
through" nobly, and without their
work and financial assistance ' the
task would have been doubly hard.
Kansas City bartenders have put
the ban on coca-cola because the many
agement of that "belly wash" refuses
to sign up with the union teamsters.
THE PLUMBERS.
Organizer Love Drops in and Helps to
Boost the Local.
General . Organizer Love of the
Plumbers' Union has been in Lincoln
for the past week, instilling new
courage into the boys and helping
them to get things lined up in better
shape. During his stay in Lincoln he
added materially to the membership
and gave the boys a new impetus in
their work.
Monday night seven new members
were obligated, and there are several
more applications on file. Mr. Love
admitted that things were in bad
shape here, but he spoke in the high
est terms of the faithful sfew who
had stuck to their obligation and had
been keeping the torch of unionism
burning where all plumbers could see
it.
Before long there will be some do
ings in court. The plumbers are col
lecting evidence of flagrant violation
of the plumbing ordinance, and this
. rWjFowv W-iJJ!
By
evidence will be furnished the Cen
tral Labor Union, which body will
proceed to prosecute under the ordi
nance. ' .,
That picnic, hasn't been forgotten.
On the contrary the boys are plan
ning away for a little biggest picnic
ever, given by the local and that will
be going some.
CAPITAL AUXILIARY.

Marie will leave for a month's visit
to Colorado about July 15. , '
. Mrs. Jessie Mickel of Harvard came
up to accompany Mr. Mickel home.
Mr. Mickel has been at St. Elizabeth
Hospital undergoing an operation.
HAS LABOR A GRIEVANCE?
Rev. Wm. Balch of Trinity Methodist
Church Selects Topic. .
, Next Sunday evening at 8 o'clock
Rev. William Balch, pastor of Trinity
Methodist church, will preach a fifteen-minute
sermon on the subject,
"Has Labor a Grievance?" This will
be the first of a series of "fifteen
minute sermons" during the evening
services of the summer, and it will
be of special interest to workingmen.
Rev. , Mr. Balch has shown the evi
dences of his interest in the cause
of the workers, and he is thoroughly
capable of handling this subject. Of
course he does not expect to cover
it fully in so short a sermon, but he
wll give such a synopsis as will im
press itself upon the public mind.
A cordial invitation is extended all
workingmen and their families to at-'
tend these Sunday evening services.
THEATRICAL MECHANICS.
Growing Impatient at the Long Delay
of International Officials.
The Theatrical Stage Employes'
Union of Lincoln has a big kick com
ing. More than a year ago they or
ganized and put up the money for a
charter, but to date they have had
nothing but promises from the in
ternational. Some trouble developed
with the Omaha local, . and this
seemed to act as a preventive of
action on the part of the international.
Enough correspondence to fill a
freight car has passed, but promises
of early action has been the only re
sult. Now the local men are talking of
sending a special representative to
the Minneapolis convention for the
purpose of talking turkey to the of
ficials and getting something definite.
The Lincoln local, although without a
charter and minus a legal existence,
has been holding regular meetings
and acting like a bunch of union men
who wanted to do the right thing.
IN RECEIVER'S HANDS.
The Washington Trades Unionist
has gone into the hands of a receiver
for the purpose of protecting the prop
erty. "Slow collections and ' undue
pressure from unfriendly sources com
pelled the publishers to ask for a re
ceiver. The liabilities are placed at
$40,000 and the available assets at
$23,000. Editor DeNedry says the con

THE PRESSMEN.
The Berry Administration Won Out at
the Mobile Convention.
John Warrington,, the only pride of
the old Higgins machine, was dropped
by the Pressmen at their international
convention at Mobile. He was second
vice president, but has been succeeded
by P. J. Flannery ef Chicago. The
following officers were elected:-.
