A Few Pertinent Facts Concerning the
Present National Campaign.
If any labor leader desires to know
on which Bide the contending forces
of corporation capital and organized
labor have lined up, it might be well
for them to consider the fact that the
president of the Manufacturers' Asso
ciation, Mr. Van Cleave, Is announced
in all of the Republican papers as hav
ing "Flayed Bryan." Perhaps it was
a hard job for Mr. Van Cleave, but it
la what his association pays him for.
Van Cleave represents the great or
ganization of employers formed for
the purpose of combating and if pos
sible destroying organized labor. Its
former head was a manufacturer of
cereal foods at Battle Creek, Michi
gan, one of the heaviest advertisers
In the country who can never print an
advertisement of his own products
without giving two-thirds of the space
to attacks upon the system of union
labor. Van Cleave Is enthusiastic
bout Tart, who Invented the injunc
tion gainst organized labor and who
handed down from one of the appoin
tive judgeships which he held, an or
der prohibiting and restraining and
restraining and enjoining such con
servative representatives of organized
lnbor as P. M. Arthur and P. P. Sar
gent," the former as we all know, now
c'.ead, from promulgating, issuing any
order of any kind that would require,
request or command any member of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers or the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen from refusing to
work or in other words request them
to strike. This was the entrance of
Taft upon politics: This was his first
stroke which gave him national repu
tation. No doubt this was the rea
son why, as Colonel Watteorson said
the other day, his candidacy Is accep
table to Wall street, while the Roose
velt veneer which has been applied to
him has already worn off. Why should
not a man who would Issue so sweep
ing an injunction as that be accep
table to practical men like E. H. Har-
riman and J. J. Hill? But why should
he be so acceptable to organized la
bor? Workingmen have not yet for
gotten either Taft- or bis colleague
Ricks and will not soon.
A BALD MISSTATEMENT.
Clerical Gentleman Who Might Have
Known Better is Guilty.
Reverend L. M. Grigsby of Univer
sity Place, signing himself "for the
Anti-Saloon and County Option Lea
gues," writes to the Lincoln Evening
News of "Wednesday, August 26, to
say that J. W. Dickson was invited to
come before the county option commit
tee, and adds that Mr. Dickson was the
first candidate to appear before the
committee.
Rev. Mr. Grigsby is either willfully
ignorant or grossly deceived. Mr.
Dickson was not invited to appear be
fore the committee. This is the exact
truth, the clerical gentleman to the
contrary notwithstanding. And Rev.
Mr. Grigsby has no moral excuse for
making such a false statement. He
could have learned the truth by in
quiry, which, although It might have
required a little physical exertion,
would at least, have removed a false
idea from his mind. The Wageworker
would call to Rav. Mr. Grigsby 's mind
the philosophic statement made by
Josh Billings to the effect that " it is
better not to know so much than to
know so much that ain't so."
HOW IT WORKS.
It Was a Republican Who Invited Vio
lation of the Contract Labor Law.
Political managers complain that
they cannot secure lithographs of can
didates with the label of the Litho
graphers' Union. Well, whose fault
is it?
Two years ago the lithographers
asked for the eight hour day and were
refused. They went on strike, and
of course their labels were taken from
the struck shops. The lithographers
lost the strike.
Why?
Because Nathan Strauss, the repub
lican commissioner of commerce and
labor, set aside the alien contract la
bor law on the ground that there was
a scarcity of skilled lithographers, and
the employers were thus enabled to
import foreign strike breakers. Now,
with these imported "scabs" running
their shops the employing lithograph
ers are complaining because they can
not furnish the label. And Nathan
Strauss, with a sweep of his aristo
cratic hand, set aside the law, and
with hundreds of skilled lithographers
walking the streets of American cities,
allowed foreign contract laborers to
come in on the ground that there was
a scarcity of skilled lithographers.
Things have come to a fine pass in
this country when a federal office
holder can set aside a law and deal
dirt to American workingmen in or
der to help out those who would grind
labor in the dust.
Under which flag, Sir. Union Man?
TO FIGHT INJUNCTIONS.
Chicago Labor Leaders Organize for
Active Campaign Work.
Labor leaders and members of
labor organizations have formed the
Injunction Reform League. The ob
ject of the organization is to inaugu
rate a campaign of education on the
injunction question and to oppose the
use of the injunction in labor dis
putes. The league also will take
charge of the meeting to he held at
a suburban park on Labor Day, when
W. J. Bryau will deliver his speech
on the anti-injunction plank of the
democratic platform.
"We shall endeavor to enlist as
members of the league all persons,
whether members of labor unions or
not, who are opposed to injunctions
!n labor disputes," said Secretary
Harding of the league.
DARLOW RETIRES.
Severs Connection With Publicity De
partment of Union Pacific.
The retirement of Alfred Darlow
from the publicity department of the
Union Pacific comes as a surprise to
thousands of people. For something
like twenty year Mr. Darlow has had
charge of this department of tn
Overland Route, and he easily held
the reputation of being the best ad
vertising man engaged in the railroad,
service. He was a pioneer in the
work of, advanced publicity, and his
ingenuity and literary ability enabled
him ' to render a service to his em
ployers that made him a most valu
able man. His work was marked by
a literary flavor that appealed to the
artistic, and his geniality made him
a favorite in all circles.
Mr. Darlow has made a study of the
advertising field, and no man in the
country has a better knowledge of this
science. He has owned the Chas. D.
Thompson Advertising Agency at
Omaha for some time, and its growing
business impelled him to lay aside all '
other duties and give it his undivided -attention.
There are thousands who . ,
will hope that he will meet with
abundant success in his new enter
prise, and while regretting his retire
ment from the railroad service will'.-'
welcome him to a field that is per
haps broader and better fitted for the
display of his marked talents as a
promoter of desirable publicity.
WHO'LL GET DOUBLE-CROSSED?
Somebody Will Get It, and It Will Not
. ' " Be the Trusts.
Mr. Taft says, "Down with the
trusts" and the trusts , applaud.
Mr. Taft says the injunction plank
is friendly to labor and "Buck's
Stoves" VanCleave applauds. Mr.
Taft says that predatory wealth' , is
iniquitous and predatory wealth ap
plauds. ".. Taft says he will carry out
the Roosevelt policies and all the
enemies of President Roosevelt smile
until their frontispieces resemble the
entrance to the M. C. tunnel.
Somebody is going to be "skinned"
by Mr. Taft. Will it be Roosevelt
and the common people or will it be
the trusts, the enemies of labor, preda-;
tory wealth or the opponents of the
Roosevelt policies? Well, did yon
ever see the trusts get ; "skinned?"
Not on your life. When they go into
a campaign they know just where
their candidate stands and they don't
take his word for it either. What di
you suppose they placed Sherman on
the ticket for? For the same reason
that an officer accompanies a jury
when it goes out for a stroll. Therr
will be no ' monkeying", with Mr.
Taft by the enemies of the special
interests, the monopolies and the an
tagonists of Roosevelt. They are put
ting up too much money to take any
chancei on the goods not being de
livered. Detroit Union Advocate.
. TO CAPTURE N. Y. WORKERS.
When the State Woikingmen's Fed
eration of Labor opens its annual con
vention in Rochester, September 22,
strong efforts will be made by the
republican state committee to capture
the organization and prevent it from
indorsing Samuel Gompers' petition
on the nomination of Bryan, according
to reports received . by the labor
leaders.
