Thursday, January 21, is the anni versary of the organization of Capital Apxiliary No. 11, to Typographical Union No. 209, but owing to circum stances the celebration of the anni versary will be held on January 22.

The Auxiliary met for the first time in 1909 last Wednesday afternoon, at the home of Mrs. E. A. King. The meeting was 4well . attended and ,a pleasant afternoon enjoyed. The new ly elected officers were installed. . Mrs. Hoffmeister has been on the sick list for some time. Mrs. Ihringer, who has been quite sick, is reported to be improving at a gratifying rate. The committee appointed to act with the Typographical Union's ball cpmmitt.ee .reported .progress.,. It. was expected that tickets would-be ready for distribution at the last meeting. but the. women were disappointed The tickets will be ready by the first of the week. Mrs. Bustard was warmly welcomed back to her old place in the organiza tion. Mr. and Mrs. Bustard expect to go housekeeping soon at Twenty ninth and N streets. Mr. Bustard has been on the sick list for several days. THE CIGARMAKERS. THE L OAmm DAYLIGHT STORE C-. means that lovers of the dance will have the finest music ever furnished at a ball in Lincoln. Now comes Fort Worth, Tex., with the doubtful distinction of being the birthplace of a union of non-union mu sicians. This alleged organization has been formed for the purpose of op posing the Musicians' Protective Union, and of course is made up of the disgruntled, the incompetent and the rejected. It promises to accom plish great things, but it will create no stir in union circles, not even when :t dies, as it will soon. The Lincoln local, is just a little less than two years old, but it insists with good grounds that it is entitled to a whola.lot of credit for thorough ly ess of organization, financial stand ing and union zeal. The membership lias been ioyal through many discour agements, and by united effort has vastly . improved conditions in the profession. . THE BARBER3.

Auditors, Messrs. Jensen, Kupler, and Erhart Business has been pretty slack of late, but work is improving. Several i.hops have put on men who were laid ell some time ago, but there are jilenty of men to handle all the work in sight. - Following Is a list of the printing offices in Lincoln that are entitled to the use of the Allied Printing Trades label, together with the num ber of the label used by each shop: C.

Lincoln Musicians' Protective Union No. 463 expects to give all the union pointers on annual balls when it pulls on" its second annual ball on February '.. Every union musician in the city lias been notified not to make en gagements for February 2, and to be on hand when the grand march is announced. The second annual ball of the union will be held at the Audi torium, which will be handsomely decorated for the - occasion. Carl Steckleberg will be "conductor of the concert band 'of -twenty-five or more pieces which will entertain the guests until the time arrives for calling the srand march. The dance music will be furnished by an orchestra of '25 pieces. Two orchestras of this size will be used, the first playing until 11 o'clock and the other one until th completion of the program. This Not Making Much Noise but Cutting Lots of Union Ice. "You don't hear the union barbers making much noise," remarked one of them to The Wageworker man the ether day. "but you can easily see that they are cutting their proper share of union ice. We haven't, got t '100 per cent union,' as some call it but in spite of this fact you will no tice that union conditions prevail in practically every shop in town. This means the reasonably short workday. a reasonable guarantee, and a reason able percentge, to say nothing of a few of the holidays for the use and benefit of the employes as well as the t-mployers. "Of course there are a number of barbers in town who are 'snitches' enough to enjoy all these good condi tions at our expense, but I guess that class may be found in all trades." "How's business?" queried The Wageworker man. "Pretty good, and getting better," was the reply. "We barbers get our little share of the i increased business that always comes with the convening of the legislature. And Lincoln is growing, too; so that helps along some. We are not making any holier' about business. We . haven't either the time or the disposition to com- Price List of CUT RATE DRUGS Second Annual Ball Musicians' Protective Association Lincoln Local No. 463 Auditorium Tuesday, February 2 CONCERT BAND, 25 PIECES ORCHESTRA, 25 PIECES TICKETS, $1.00 A I. plain. Ever notice what an optimistic bunch we are? You never Jbear of us putting up a 'holler.' When some thing goes wrong we just correct it, and we don't stub our toes twice on the same" nail. ' J list 'tell our fellow unionists that we are doing, our little best to hold up our end of the union game. Next!" ' By the way, ?o you always make sure that . the union shop card is in plain sight when you enter- a strange barber shop to get a shave or a hair cut? If it is a union, shop you will not have 'to' look long'- to see- the proper credentials. - " , " The International Union has a right to feel proud of its financial condi tion. It has over $150,000 in the strongbox, and knows it can get plenty more if the need arises. One might naturally conclude from all the safety razor - advertising one sees in the magazines thai the barber would soon be out of business so far as snav-ing is r concerned.; -.But, "it only seems to make more barbers, just like the linotype machine . made more printers. Funny, but it always works that way. ' SACRIFICING THE GIRLS. and bolt works in the same city em 'v ploy 543 women. A bolt trimmer to use one class of labor as an illustra- " tion stands for ten hours before a machine. 1( She feeds bolts ..jto vthe mechanism at two second Intervals ; 10,000 a day for a wage of 96 cents. Bad conditions for these women to work under, and likely to have an ' indirect effect in weakened and stunt-: ed children. , , , Doubtless the employers feel - that . , they Are. not to blame, that they are forced by competition for cheap goods to hire' oheap- labor.' If any one -of them should hold out and refuse to use the methods of his competitors be . would, be forced, to the wall. So it, , is up to organized society to take a ; hand and fix , the rules of the game. Conditions for the employment - of ' women and children must be deter-' l" mined-' and enforced by the state. Otherwise society is at the mercy- of a demand for cheapness that sacri- ;' flees thev future-of. the race.-rKansas . City Star.. : V PROMINENT UNIONIST DEADj HOME REMEDIES 2 Vials 25c.

How Modern Industrialism Destroys Them Mentally and Physically. In a Pittsburg foundry girls are em ployed to make simple cores for cast ings. A quick girl can make 10,000 a day, for which she receives fl. Ac cording to the investigator who . re ported to Charities on "Pittsburg Women in the Metal Trades," this work is carried on in clouds of drift ing dust. As the cores are finished they are set on trays, which the women carry across the room to the ovens. A loaded tray weighs from ten to twenty-five pounds. In an elec trical factory in East Pittsburg 650 women are employed oh piecework in winding coils for armatures. The fast est make $1.47 a day. The work is so taxing that the employes give out readily. Only twenty-five have been in the factory four years. Three screw Former President of Stage Employes' Union Passes Over.
