WHAT IS IT?
There seems to be something about
the work of managing a great rail
road property that forces a man out
of touch with the people.
What is it?
One would think that by this time
the railroad managers had grown
wise to the fact that the old days
are gone forever, and that the people
have determined to control the great
highways of commerce. It would
seem that after all they have bumped
up against . the railroad managers
would realize that the old days of
railroad control, of railroad bossism
and of railroad contempt for the
wishes of the people are gone for
ever.
But it seems that they haven't yet
had enough, and that they feel like
taking another round in the ring.
Instead of gracefully yielding to the
Inevitable they treat the people with
contempt and actually seem to look
for opportunities to increase the
feeling against themselves.
The refusal of the railroads to
grant a reduced rate to the Bryan
notification on the pitiful plea that
they were compelled to live up to
the 2-cent fare law deceived no one,
It was merely an opportunity to "get
even," and the railroad managers were
not of sufficient mental calibre to over
look it. They have already announced
i reduced rate to the state fair, but
they refused to grant a similar rate
to the Bryan notification, although
they granted a reduced rate to the
Taft notification.
Perhaps the railroad managers want
to try conclusions to a finish with
the people. Perhaps they want to nag
and irritate until the people exercise
the right of eminent domain and
take over the railroads, not at the
figure set upon them by the present
arrogant owners, but at the figures
the people know to be just and right.
If the railroad managers are anxious
for this sort of a conclusion, certainly
they are taking the best possible
method of reaching it.
Some of these days a railroad will
fall into the hands of men who wilt
try to conduct it in the interests of
the public as well as in the interes
of the stockholders and bondholders.
V.'hen that day comes that particular
railroad Is going to make a great
hit with fair-minded people,
i
UNDER WHICH FLAG?
"American Industries," organ of the
National Association of Manufac
turers, and edited by James Van
Cleave, manager of the Buck Stove
Co., "plays up" the "labor plank" of
the Chicago platform on the front
page of the current issue and quotes
Taft as endorsing it. "American In
dustries" then proceeds to commend
that plank and the Taft candidacy.
Under which flag, Mr. Union Man?
If your interests and tne interests
of the National Manufacturers' Asso
ciation, presided over by James Van
Cleave, are Identical, then ypu are
justified in voting for Taft. If it Is
to your interest as a union man to
support a platform and ticket loyally
supported by the association that is
trying to make trades unions unlawful
and trying to send representative
union men to jail because they insist
on exercising the right of free speech
then by all means you should vote
for Taft.
But If your interests lie with your
fellow workmen who are striving, like
you, to protect themselves . against
the encroachments of organizations
ike the National Association of
Manufacturers, and against the at
tacks of such union haters as Van
Cleave, Parry and Post, then you are
certainly doing yourself and your
ellows an injury by lining up with the
Van Cleaves, Parrys and Posts all
of whom are commending the Chicago
platform and boosting for Taft ana
Sherman.
Under which flag, Mr. Union Man?
Are you with the unions, or are
you with the National Association of
Manufacturers ?
Are you with your brothers, or ar
you . with the men who are trying to
send your brothers to jail for the
'crime" of fighting for your best in
terests?
The union that benefits you, or the
political party that uses you?
It is up to you to make a choice.
Mr. Union Man.
Under which flag?
This actually happened in Lincoln:
A member of the allied printing
trades made a big "holler" because
Mr. Bryan's paper, the Commoner.
clubs with unfair publications. And
within two minutes after he made his
'holler" he rolled a cigaret with
"scab" tobacco. Wouldn't that jar
you?
Too bad that the motormen ana
conductors had to work like slaves
on Sunday to carry people to an as
sembly that was too righteous to sell
tickets on Sunday. Some people
never realize what a spectacle they
make of themselves every time they
strain at a gnat and swallow a camel
While the republicans of Nebraska
e re sending out pictures of - the
scorched Taft banner, the democrats
of Ohio should be sending out pictures
of the jail to which Judge Taft sen
tenced that engineer who insisted on
exercising his perogratives as a free
American citizen.
The management of the Ep worth
Assembly would not sell tickets on
Sunday, but we haven't heard that
any of its platform attractions refused
to accept pay for Sunday services.
Mr. Union Man of Lancaster county
cast your ballot on primary day.' for
the legislative candidates whL.axry
union cards, and for no other. ' Make
your vote count!
Mr. Hearst is financing the Inde
pendence League. Ever read Ben
Franklin's story of how the soft
spoken man persuaded him to turn
the grindstone?
This republic is going to survive,
no matter who is elected president
But that fact does not relieve yon
from your duty to do the best you
can for it.
Col. Thomas Wajtson of Georgia,
eah, insists on exhibiting his sore toe
to everyone who happens to mention
the name of Bryan in his presence.
It cost the union bricklayers of
Cincinnati several thousand dollars to
learn just how friendly Mr. Taft was
to their interests.
What shall It avail a union man
to pay dues 364 days in the year, and
then spend election day in voting
with his enemies?
The candidate may have the label
on his campaign card while he spouts
his political "hot air" through a non
union hat.
Pity the woes of the poor Traction
company. It isn't making a cent-
but you couldn't buy any of tho stock
below par.
Union man have not yet been re
strained by judicial decree from vot
ing as a unit on election cjay that is,
not yet.
The candidate with the label on hi
card does not always have unionism
in his heart.
Prohibition Candidate Chafin should
beware. Too much water is bad.
Mr. Taft is talking into a phono
graph proxy from Oyster Bay.
The Pittsburg Labor World is tar

Now, who the Halifax Is Hisgen?
It is reported that the governor of
Oklahoma proposes to use a force of
about 300 convicts in building a sys

An Open Letter
Lincoln, Nebr., August 5, 1908.
Lincoln Gas & Electric Light Co.,
' Lincoln, Nebraska.
K Gentlemen A, number of my friends have been surprised
when I told them that I found gas much eheaper fuel than
coal. They could hardly believe it, being victims of a prejudice
that seems to be of as long standing as it is without foundation.
Perhaps my own experience may be of serive to them.
There are seven of us in my family. "We use gas for fuel,
for lights and heating the bathwater. Duringthe month of
June our gas bill was $3.72 net. All the family cooking, wash
ing and ironing is done at home, save only the shirts and col
lars of my husband and son. Our house is reasonably large and
we burn more than the average amount of gas for lighting. ; I
believe I am safe in saying that our average monthly gas bill
is not to exceed $4 and this is cheaper and safer and cleaner
than coal and kerosene. In the matter of comfort and saving
of work there is no comparison between gas and coal. Every
housewife in town, and especially the wives of union men,
should insist upon having a gas range. My husband insists on
short hours and labor saving machinery in his work, and he
cheerfully concedes to me the same benefits. I have found them
in a gas range.
The above letter was written without solicitation by the
wife of a Lincoln union man. It is worth your consideration.
