try.
Mr. VanCleave, what do you think
of the workingmen who, while accept
ing all the benefits which the labors
of trades unions bring them, remain
outside its ranks and refuse or neglect
to shoulder any of the burdens?
Speak right out and give up a direct
answer to the question.
Mayor Frank W. Brown retired from
office with the record of having made
a splendid mayor the best in the
history of Lincoln. That record will be
a joy to Frank W. Brown as long
as he lives. Here's hoping that his
private business will be as success
ful as his record in the mayor's office.
If it is he'll have to haul his monthly
income to the bank in a hay wagon.
HOW ABOUT IT, MR. VANCLEAVE?
In the May number of "American In
dustries," the official organ of the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers,
James W. VanCleave, president of
the association, announces that he will
not be a candidate for re-election. Af
ter reviewing the work of his admin
istration of the association's affairs,
in which he shows his collossal van
ity by pointing to himself as the
mighty force that has accomplished
so much, Mr. ant leave winds up
as follows:
"In closing I want to point out that
our organization is fighting the bat
tles of every man in every calling
in the United States. And here let
me ask what does the country think
what do those individuals themselves
think of the manufacturers, who
while accepting all the benefits which
the labors of the National Association
of Manufacturers bring them, remain
outside its ranks, and thus refuse or
neglect to shoulder any of its bur
dens?
And there you have the whoie ques
tion of unionism in a nutshell. Deny
ing labor the right to organize in its
own behalf, VanCleave urges employ
ers of labor to organize in their be
half.
And here let The Wageworker ask
what does VanCleave think of the
workingmen who. while accepting all
the benefits which the labors of the
Trades Unions bring them, remain out
side of its ranks and thus refuse or
neglect to shoulder any of its bur
dens?
Speak up, Mr. aVnCleave, and an
swer the question!
Who shortened the working day for
unionists and non-unionists alike? Not
VanCleave and his ilk, certainly. It
was the trades unions.
What does Mr. VanCleave think of
the workingman who, while accept
ing all the benefits which the labors
of the Trades Unions bring them, re
main outside its ranks and thus re
fuse or neglect to shoulder any of
its burdens?
Who brought about the enactment
of employers liability laws; the laws
demanding sanitary conditions in mills
and factories; the laws safeguarding
life and limb in mines and on rail
roads; who raised the wage scale;
who put a brake on the exploitation
of child labor; who secured a higher
standard of living for the toilers; and
who stands between the exploiter of
human flesh and blood and the sought-
for victim of his greed?
Not VanCleave and his ilk. It was
against the opposition of such men
that the trades unionists fought and
struggled until they secured these
blessings for themselves, and in se
curing them for themselves secured
them for the non-unionists as well.
What does Mr. VanCleave think of
the workingman who, while accept
ing all the benefits which the labors
of Trades Unions bring them, remain
outside its ranks and thus refuse or
neglect to shoulder any of its bur
dens? Speak up, Mr. Van Cleave, and an
swer the question?
Ever hear of a VanCeiave "open
shop" that reduced the hours and in
creased wages at the same time?.
Union employers have done it many
a time.
Ever hear of a aVnCleavite fighting
for better sanitary laws to safeguard
the health of workers? You never did.
Trades unious have been fighting for
such laws for a century.
Ever hear of a Van Cleavite fighting
for the enactment of a safety appli
ance law Not in your whole life.
Trades Unions have compelled the
enactment of a national law along
that line, and also compelled more
than one-half the states to enact oth
er safety appliance laws. The trades
unions have never asked for something
calculated to benefit the worker, eith
er as to safety of health or limb, or
as to hours and wages, that men of
the VanCleave stripe did not oppose
it with all their might of money and
political pull. And all the benefits
that have come to labor have come
through the toil and sacrifices of the
Well, why shouldn't the "sassiety
clubs" have their bars closed down?
Does the ability to pay dues in a
well club give a man any more
right to a glass of beer than is pos
sessed by the workingman who has
to depend upon an open saloon?

the election of Mr. Love. The contest
will be watched with interest, and

How many prohibitionists who
smoke are giving a thought to the ci-
garmakers they have thrown out of
work? Let them show their real sym
pathy for the workingman by buying
Lincoln made cigars.
Don t worry your head off about a
"dry" Lincoln, meaning a poor busi
ness town. That is a sort of argu
ment that never did appeal to this
glorious banner of industrial free-
dom.
If your merchant hasn't got what
you want with the union label on it.

going until you find the merchant who

It is not too early to begin mak
ing arrangement for a proper observ
ance of Labor Day. Let's get started
in ample time this wear.
Forty-six Nebraska unions have
elected delegates to the State Federa
tion of Labor in Lincoln, June 2 1-23.
Guess that looks good!
Will the Traction Co. ever wake up
and make some money while making
friends by giving some band con
certs in the park.
Mayor Love can do a whole lot to
square himself by re-appointing Gen
eral Tom Kelsey to the position of
city weighmaster.
If CoL Sam Melick is made chief
of police will he try to save a little
money by having paroled prisoners do
police work?
"Bootlegging" win be a mighty poor
business in Lincoln at least until af

exhausted.
No injunction has been issued pre
venting you from refusing to purchase
goods with the nnion label not yet.
Perhaps it has done a lot of Lincoln
men good to take a little water for
their stomachs sake.
By the way, that bunch of unionists
at Havelock is full of ginger, and
don't your forget it.
How does it seem to drink th
'chaser" first, and then quit?
'There, little saloon, don't cry:
Tou can be a drug store by and by."
Gee, but didn't Lincoln get into the
press dispatches!
Tongue cracked?
THE ENGINEERS' MEETING.
Official Organ Contains Illustrated
Story of Meeting Place.
The current number of the official
organ of the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers contains a handsomely
illustrated write-up of Lincoln, in
which announcement is made of the
reunion to be held in this city in the
latter part of June. The story of the
development of Lincoln and Nebraska
is tersely told.
Arrangements for the reunion are
being brought nearer to completion
each day, and it promises to be a
great event in the history of the or
ganization in the trans-Missouri country.
