Secretaries of local unions urgently requested to send in ar cor- rected rosters of their unions so that the Labor Day edition of The Wage- worker can do them exact justice The editor does not happen to be a njind reader, therefore he is unable to teli when a union changes officers. A little assistance from local secre taries will be beneficial to organized labor in this community. GET INTO THE GAME! Partisan politics cuts absolutely no ice with this humble little labor papet. U doesn't care a rap what a man's political affiliations may be; it oniy lakes into consideration his attitude towards organized labor and the things that organized labor advo cates. To the eyes of this paper all prV.iiicians look alike. But unitl conditions are materially changed union men must look to po- tical parties for whatever justice they obtain in the way of legislative ecognition. For this reason it is necessary for union men to vote for jr.en who happen to be the nominees of the political parties that are in the field. Up to date The Wageworker knows of but two active union men who are candidates for office in Lancaster county. One of them is a candidate on the republican primary ticket for state senator, the other & candidate upon the democratic primary ticket for the lower house of the legislature. The Wageworker doesnt consider their politics at all it merely cno- siders their position on those ques tions that are of vital interest to union men and women. J. W. Dickson, a member of Car penters Union No. 1055, is asking for the republican nomination for the senate. He is deserving of the sup port of every union man, as well as the support of every man who wants the best possible timber in the state senate. Mr. Dickson is a man of abil ity, of unquestioned integrity and untiring energy. Every union mau v, ho affiliates with the republican pi-rty owes it to himself and to Mr. Dickson to work and vote to the t-nJ that Mr. Dickson receive this roui ination. W. C. Norton, a member of the I Typographical Union and the Musi cians' Union, is asking for the demo cratic nomination for the house. The union man who affiliates with the democratic party and fails or neglects to work and vote for Mr. Norton is recreant to his union obligation. They dc not make any "squarer" men than "Billy" Norton. He would reflect credit upon unionism if elected. If these two men are nominated by their respective parties and they will be if union men do their duty they should receive the solid union vote 1 - tegardless of political affiliation. They are good men and true, and are worthy of organized labor's hearty support. There is absolutely no reason why union men, without regard to par tisan affiliation, should not get behind these two men and send them to the legislature. There are a thousand reasons why they should do so. - This Is the time when union men should quit playing the part of po litical suckers and begin' playing the union game right. The union repub lican should vote for Dickson at the primaries AND FOR XO OTHER SENATORIAL CANDIDATE. The union democrat should vote for Nor ton AND FOR NO OTHER CANDI DATE FOR THE HOUSE. Make your union vote count for all it is worth on primary day, and then follow it up by making it count for all it is worth on election day. Now is our opportunity to make the managers of the two old parties sit up and take notice of the orga nized labor vote. Once that is done the rest will be easy. SHOULD BURY HINSHAW. If there are any republican union men in the Fourth congressional dis trict of Nebraska they owe it to them selves and their fellow-unionists in Nebraska to assist in defeating Hin shaw for re-nomination. And the!' harder the defeat the better will the Ksson be impressed upon the minds of all men who, like Hinshaw, ignored the just demands of organized labor. When the union printers of Ne braska were asking that a fat political plum be not given to Ross L. Ham- i u;ond, who refused to recognize the Typographical Union and gave utter ance to many remarks derogatory of organized labor, Hinshaw played double, and finally voted for Ham mond. He said he was irrevocably in favor of a man living in his own dis trict, but when the time came that his vote would decide the matter he voted for an enemy of organized labor and settled the contest adversely to the interests of anion men. The moral effect of Hinshaw's de feat would be beneficial to organized labor everywhere. It would demon strate that no man can play double with organized labor, or vote to re gard labor's enemies, without reaping the whirlwind. Hinshaw has been guilty of both of these things, and for that reason he is deserving of a rebuke from every union man who ias a vote in the Fourth congressional district primaries. V The Wageworker is not acquainted with Senator Aldrich, who is contest ing with Hinshaw for the nomination. From all reports at hand he is ' an Pblo man, and a man who will not htetllessly or needlessly ignore the just demands of organized labor. ' Of his honesty and fairness we are as st red. but regardless of his attitude towards organized labor, his nomina tion would be a rebuke to a man tao contemptuously ignored organ ized labor when an opportunity to recognize it was offered him. Anl vhile his nomination would be a re buke to Hinshaw, it would also be notice to Aldrich that he would have to "vote fair" or meet with a like rebuke. No genuinely union man can afford to vote to reward Hmshaw for his lailure to render organized labor a service when he had the opportunity to do so. ill-. Locomotiva Fireman, your for mer grand chief, Frank P. Sargent, was compelled by Judge William H. Taft to use the machinery of your organization to defeat the purposes of the organization. Read Judge Taft's order, issued to Chief Sargent on March 17, 1S93. No matter how solidly organized labor marches ou Labor Day it won't get what it ought to have until it vots solidly on election day. That Taft banner remained np on "notification day," and the world didn't pause in its revolutions for a single minute. What shall it profit a union man to pay duss every week in the yaar and thea vote for labor's enemies on elec tion day? Drop, a dollar in The Wageworker siot and get fifty-two consecutive doses of warranted union enthusiasm. Now if organized labor had a few thousand more friends like Humphrey O'Sullivan. Say, would it he great! Jt will rot take a genuinely man long to decide between hi: and bs party. union union Take your unionism to the prim-sties and to the polls. "By their fruits ye shall know them This refers to politicians and to men who claim to be unionists. Gee, but how the politicians love the union man these- days! Now boost for Labor Day! UNION-MADE STUFF. Ground Out by a Card Man Wageworker Shop. in The The Union Dollar. This is a union dollar, made by work ing at my trade A good old silver dollar,' good as any ever made. Twas earned by honest toil and sweat, and you can bet your life 'Twill not be spent for "scab" made goods by me or my good wife. We'll spend it with our union friends and for good labeled stuff, And thus help out our union friends with something that beats "guff." A good old union dollar, boys; fair made and fairly spent 'Twill help my union brother, and with that I'll be content. This is a union dollar, earned by working on the square; I'll spend it with my brother that is better than "hot air" Spouted forth upon the corner through the wreaths of "scabby" smoke Or through the crown of some "scab' hat and that's no blooming joke. I'll spend it where the label on the goods is well displayed, And help my fellow-worker who is - toiling at his trade. A good old union dollar, boys; and it was never meant That for the sweat shop's product this good dollar should be spent. This is a union dollar and the same I'll gladly spend For something that is union made and sold by lahor's friend. A good, clean union dollar, and 'twould be a blooming shame To spend it with some fellow who would queer the union game. So I will be blamed careful when I drop it from my hand Twill boost some union worker some where in this favored land. A good old union dollar, boys; earned it at my trade, And when it goes you bet 'twill be for something union made. What's the Diff? "I'll march in no labor day parade with "scabs'": ejaculated Mike Mc Manigal. We applauded this sentiment and thought Mike a mighty sensible man. A little later, however, we discov ered that Mike was determined toj vote wfth YanCleave, Post and Parry j on election day. 1 Since then we have been cogitating, i Limerick. There was a dope maker named Post Who gave union labor a roast But the men as a rule Gave no heed to the fool. And he howled himself thin as a ghost. In Trouble. "What's the matter with Casey? I don't see him down town of evenings any more." "Casey's wife went on strike for shorter working hours, and Casey is working overtime' tending the -babies until he can arbitrate." The Facts. " "Afc, I see that the bump of com bativeness is well developed," said the phrenologist as he fingered Snugger ly's head. "Right you are, boss!" exclaimed Snuggerly. "Thai's where my wife hit me with the rollingpin for bring ing home a sack of "scab flour." Cards. Unionism means a lot more than keeping the dues paid up. Union earned should be union spent. The union label will not be what it ought to be until It stan.ls for the best work as well as union work. You may wash your soiled hands with "scab" soap if you will, but the taint of your error will cling to them still. The non-unionist reaps where his union brother has sowed. Organized labor has taken more children from the mills and mines than organized churches have. Unionism practices the '"Fatherhood cf God and brotherhood of man" idea that so many people love to preach about. Organized labor does as a duty what so-called philanthropists do for pur poses of publicity. Sweat shops flourish in commun ities where the Post idea of "free and independent labor" prevails; but they languish and die where union men control. ' The VanCleave idea never took a child ilave from its task. Organized ltbor-4ias emancipated millions. Unionism is something to live, not sttaething to merely talk about.

Jknmist 5. 190. Lincoln Gas & Electric Lirht Co.. Lincoln, Nebraska. Gentlemen A number of my friends have been surprised when I told them that I found pas much cheaper fnel than coal. They conld hardly believe it, being victims of a prejndiee that seems to be of as long standing as ii is withont foundation. Perhaps my own experience may be of serive to them. There are seven of tis ia my family. We nse sra. for fueL. for lisrhts and heating the bathwater. Dnrinz the month of June our ras bill was 3.72 net. All the family eookice, wash ing and ironinjr is done at home, save only the shirt.- and col lars of my husband and son. Our house is reasonably larjre and we burn more than the average amount of gas for lighting- I believe I am safe in saying that onr 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 eoaJ. Every housewife in town, and especially the wives of mi ion men. should insist upon having a gas range. My husband insists on short hours and labor saving machinery in Ms work, and he cheerfully concedes to me the same benefits. I have fund theia in a gas range. The above letter was written without solicitation by the wife of a Lincoln union man. It is worth your eonskieratwm. Lincoln Gas and Electric Light Co.
