. LABOR DAY, 1908.
The necessities of business compels
The Wageworker to be a little prema
ture in its Labor Day greetings but
they are none the less sincere for
that. Labor Day should be labor's
greatest and most cherished hohliday.
Christmas has a sentiment that ap
peals to all. So has the Fourth of
July and Thanksgiving. But Labor
Day is peculiarly labor's day and as
such it ought to be celebrated. The
men who toil for a daily wage are the
backbone of the industrial world. They
make our cities rich and prosperous.
They support the whole fabric of in
dutry upon their broad backs. Why
should they not have a day set apart
as their own? '
On this particular Labor Day, in this
good year 1908, The Wageworker
hopes that the millions of toilers
everywhere will get together in fra
ternal concourse, and after enjoying
the sports and pastimes incident to
the day, sit down and talk over mat
ters of vital moment This is the year
when organized labor should make its
voting strength known, the year when
it should demonstrate to the satisfac
tion of every machine politician that
organized labor is not the tool of any
party nor of any set of designing men.
Here's to the toilers who eat their
bread in the sweat of honest faces.
Here's to the men and women who are
sacrificing their time and their money
to advance the best interests of those
who toil. Here's to the men who un
selfishly give their time to advance the
great cause of brotherhood.
And here's to the bravest ones of th
whole industrial army our wives.
The wife of the average working
man is a greater financier. than Mor
gan, a braver soldier than any that
ever donned a uniform and followed
the flag. She can suffer more and say
less, do more and do it better, smile
hopefully through tears of disappoint
ment and heartache and administer
more comfort than the best man on
earth deserves. If there is anybody
who deserves to have a royal good
time on Labor Day it is the wife of
the workingman, the mother of the
boys and the girls who must sooner
or later take up the industrial battle.
And here's to the future! It is
growing brighter every day. Labor
no longer bows its back and thank
fully takes what the gods provide. La
bor is standing straight up as befits
honest manhood, and Labor is demand
ing what it rightfully owns. We are
getting closer together. We are put
ting away selfishness and suspicion
and a jealousy and prejudice, and we
are taking on hope and confidence and
trust and the true spirit of brother
hood. Not only are we learning what
our rights are, bat we are learning
how to secure those rights.
The Wageworker hopes that every
toiler may have the blessed privilege
of enjoying this great holiday. If there
be those whom necessity compels to
toil on this day, may their burdens be
lightened by the knowledge that a
better time is coming a time when
the worker will receive the full share
of his toil.
Here's to Labor Day!
THE LABOR DAY PARADE.
The unions of Lincoln and Havelock
should indulge in a good-natured ri
valry to see which can make the best
proportional showing in the Labor
Day parade. Every local union should
contest for supremacy in point of ap
pearance and ratio of men in line.
Every effort should be prut forth to
make the parade a splendid success.
Let every union man make it a
ioint to march with his union on La
bor Day. See to it that your section
of the parade is headed by a flag.
See to it that the day is made a huge
success.
HINSHAW DESERVES DEFEAT
The union man who votes for the re
nomination of Congressman Hinshaw
in the Fourth congressional district
ought to take something for his union
ism. It is weak. Hinshaw . not only
refused to heed a request made by
organized labor, but he actually slap
ped organized labor in the face. It
was Hinshaw's vote that gave the fat
test political office in the state to a
man who has refused to recognize or
ganized labor and has repeatedly at
tacked unionism. He is utterly out of
sympathy with the wage earners.
. There are enough union men in
Fairbury, Wymore and Beatrice to in
sure Hinshaw's defeat at the primaries
next Tuesday. They will be untrue
to themselves and , untrue to their
union brothers elsewhere in the state
if they do not defeat him. They have
an opportunity to vote for a better
man of the same political faith Mr.
Aldrich.
The defeat of Hinshaw will serve a
double purpose. It will remove an
enemy of organized labor from the
halls of congress, and it will be notice
to- other congressmen that they must
not play double with organized labor
and disregard the petitions of those
who toil for a daily wage.
Hinshaw' has earned a Stinging re
buke, and the union men of his dis
trict ought to gladly seize the op
portunity to administer it.
NOT AT ALL SURPRISING.
The failure of the self-constituted
guardians of the "poor working man"
to endorse J. W. Dickson is not at all
surprising. Mr. Dickson has stated
that he favors local option, and he
is a union man who is standing as a
representative of organized labor. Yet
the county optionists refused to en
dorse him, notwithstanding they are
always talking about their interest in
the welfare of the toilers.
Mr. Dickson favors county option
without any qualifying phrases. He
believes that the county, being the
unit of taxation, should decide ques
tions in which the county as a whole
has interest. Therefore he believes
that the county should vote on license,
and if the majority favors license then
the entire county is "wet," and if the
majority votes against license then the
entire county shall be' "dry." Hp has
no patience with those who demand
that the majority shall rule when they
are in the majority, but insist on the
minority ruling when they are in the
minority. Not being willing to give
fair play, these pretended friends of
the workingmen refused to endorse
as good a man as ever asked for a leg
islative office in this county.
But the people who are surprised at
this action of the county optionists
are the people who are not posted.
If Wiliani H. Taft was such a good
friend of organized labor as some peo
ple would have us believe, do you
imagine for a minute that he would
be receiving ' the ardent support of
such union haters as Van Cleave, Par
ry, Post, Kirby, et al? Think it over.
Ask Congressman Hinshaw if he
promised to throw down Hammond
and vote to make - Rose collector if
Rose's backers would agree to . pull
Aldrich out of the congressional race.
Our enemies applaud us when we
march in solid phalanx because we
have been in the habit of springing at
each othei-'s throats on. election: day.
- Fill your baskets, take them to Capi
tal Beach on Labor Day, and eat a pic
nic supper. Make labor Day a day of
real pleasure for yourselves your
wives and your children.
Now, while you are marching to
gether, just make up your minds to be
sensible Just once, and vote together.
The man who tries to tell you that
Gompers is trying to deliver your vote
is presuming upon your ignorance.
In the legislature W. C. Norton will
vote for your interests. It is up to
you to vote for Norton.
In the state senate J. W. Dickson
will look after your interests. Vote
for Dickson.
Our Anti-Saloon League friends are
so friendly to the cause of the work
ingmen that they absolutely refused
to endorse the only wage earner who
is a candidate on the republican
county ticket for state senator.
If they promise to open their fac
tories and run full time if Taft is elect
ed, just ask them why they are not
open and running full time now.
Make the Labor Day a successful
forerunner of a Labor Temple worthy
of Lincoln.
"Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts."
UNION MADE STUFF.
Ground Out By a Card Man In The
Wageworker Shop.
The Worker's Opportunity.
Take off your overalls, my boys, and
join with me' in making noise. Lift
up your voices loud and shrill until
the country feels the thrill. Parade
the streets and all enthuse like
union men who pay their dues. Hur
rah for Taft for 'tis a fact he's
' told us just how we may act.
Hurrah for Taft! He says we may
pile up strike funds like ricks of
hay. He says we may accumulate
the stuff that always pays the
freight. But after we have got the
dough a judge says, "Boys, you must
go slow. You've got the money
here's a writ; you'll go to jail for
spending it."
Hurrah for Taft! He says we can
withdraw support from from any
man who hands us lemons big and
sour from day to day, from hour to
hour. But after we withdraw sup
port we'll all be haled before the
court and given such a dose of jail
that will each dust-grimed visage
pale.
Hurrah for Taft! He now declares
that rich and poor ' have equal
shares in justice when the law is
dealt and all its benefits are felt.
But when the worker, in despair
goes on a strike to get his share,
injunctions come in perfect gale and
off the striker goes to jail.
Hurrah for Taft! In. jail or out lift
up your voice in lusty shout! There's
no injunction issued yet 'gainst
shouts for Taft nor won't you bet!
You all may organize and pay your
union dues from day to day. But if
you try much more . to do "Con
tempt of court the jail for you!"
Hurrah for Taft! Roll up your sleeve
and get in line with James Van
Cleave. Display your union card
; with pride and vote with "Buck"
upon the side. Hurrah for Taft and
smile and smile - when you're de
nied a jury trial and sent to jail
upon the whim of some big judge
controlled by Jim. .
Hurrah for Taft! You should support
injunction writs, contempt of court
and jail for those who dare declare
their right to have a trial fair. Vote
for the doughnut with a, hole as big
as' grandma's sugar bowl. Wave high
the empty dinner pail for that you
'll never go to jail.
Funny Doings.
"Funny thing about Jaberman."
"What is it?" 1
"Came home the evening of Labor
Day with blisters on his feet from
marching in the Labor Day parade,
and a black eye he got for arguing
with a non-union man who wanted to
march. Then on the evening of elec
tion day he came home with some
more- blisters on his feet and a voice
frazzled out with hollering for the
same candidates that the non-union
man was supporting."
Limerick.
There was a young plumber named
Lee
Who was kissing a girl by the sea.
Said the maid with a smirk
"What's your bill for this work?"
Said the plumber, still plumbing, "It's
free."
A Winner.
"Alost successful strikebreaker I
ever knew."
"Who is?"
"Hunger."
The Real Protection.
"Of course you are going to vote for
protection to American labor -said
Colonel De Rich, the great manufac
turer, to Dennis O'Toole.
"Sure I'm on me way to look after
that little matter right now," replied
Dennis.
"But this is not election day," said
Colonel De Rich.
"I know it isn't, but me union dues
is due today and I'm on me way1 to
yay 'em. That's the best protection
to labor I've ever found."
Cards.
Union talk may sound good, but
union action does good.
Unionism is a flower that needs to
be cultivated. The "scab" Is a weed
that grows without cultivation.
One liftle vote on election day may
give the lie to a lot of union talk every
other day in the year.
The unionism that costs nothing is
worth nothing.
