CAPITAL AUXILIARY.
May Social Was a Gastronomic Tri
umph But a Numerical Failure.
So far as numbers were concerned
the May social of Capital Auxiliary
No. 11 was pretty slim. But as a
gastronomic event it must be classed
as the record of that organization.
The social was held at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Orval Young, and five
printers were present. Printers wives
to the number of seven, and printers'
children to the number of a dozen
or more, made up the attendance.
Chicken pie was the -piece de resist

Failed to Meet Last Monday, But May
Meet Next Monday Evening.
The directors of the Labor Temple
Association failed to meet last Mon
day evening, but may be able to mus
ter a quorum next Monday evening.
Owing to lack of interest the proposed
Labor Temple Day" was well nigh a
failure. One enthusiastic union woman
managed to secure about $200 in
pledges, but refused to continue when
she found she was receiving no sup
port either from her own organiza
tion or from the directors.
It seems strange that men who
work only eight hours a day can not
find time to devote an hour or two
a week to pushing this splendid pro
ject. During the past two weeks,
the editor of this paper has had oc
casion to confer with a score or more
of business - men on another matter,
but in which the Labor Temple pro
ject played some part. Here is what
they said:
Just as soon as you men show that
you mean business, you can call on us
and we'll help you. But you'll have
to go some before we'll start. It's up
to you."
One prominent business man said:
The day you get title to a building
site you may have my check for $100
not as a subscription to stock, but
as a gift.''
Another business man, a lumber
dealer said: "When you get ready to
build I'll give you the privilege of go
ing through my yards and picking out
not less than $100 worth of building
material.
Taken all together, the editor knows
of a thousand dollars or more that
will be donated by business men to-
ard a Labor .Temple if the wage
earners of the city will only "buck up'
and show that they want a Labor
Temple bad enough to make some sac
rifices in order to get it.
uut unless some more energy is
put into the project, and a lot more
men come to the front and help push
the hills will be holes in the ground"
before a real start is made.

MAUPIN WANTS UNION LABEL.
AWARDS TO LOWEST BIDDER.
Deputy Labor Commissioner Will
Maupin, editor of a labor paper and an
advocate of union made- goods, de
sires to have the state furnish him
with office printed matter bearing the
union label. The state printing board,
comprising Secretary of State Junkin,
State Auditor Barton and Treasurer
Brian have awarded the contracts to
the lowest bidder as required by law.
The York Black Book company, which
obtained the contract for printing
blanks and other office supplies for
the labor bureau, is not a union office
and cannot use the internatioanl typo
graphical union label. Mr. Maupin
is supposed to have control of his
office funds which will be used to pay
for the work contracted for and he
promises to put up a lively fight for
the use of the union label on state
printing, or at least printing of his
own department. He may do this by
refusing to approve a voucher cover
ing the claim for printing or he may
refuse to order any printing. If re
quired to do so he may mimeograph all
of his blanks instead of accepting
the printing that does not bear the
union label.
When estimates were submitted to
the printing board from the various
departments for supplies for the year,
Mr. Maupin turned in an estimate of
the amount needed and wrote above
the office supplies, "Must have the
union label." The state board is re
quired by law to award the contract to
the lowest bidder and the specification
relating to the label was omitted by
Clerk Thomas and the board when
bids were asked for.
"We are required to award contracts
to the lowest and best bidder," said
Treasurer Brian. "We cannot restrict
the bidding of any certain class of
printers. The bidding is open to any
and all printers and as far as I am
concerned, the lowest bidder, if he
is responsible, will always get the
contract, regardless of whether he is
a union printer or a non-union print
er.. We are supposed to carry out
the law and abide by the oath of office
we subscribed to when we were elect
ed to represent the state in such
matters."
A representative of the successful
bidder . obtained sample of some of
the work to be done for the labor bu
reau, but Mr. Maupin says the old
samples were merely a guide as to the
nature of the work desired. He desires
to change his blanks and has written
the contractor that he must not de
liver the blanks except such as print
ed in accordance with copy approved
by him. An interesting situation may
be presented if the printer insists
on printing supplies for Mr. Maupin
without the union label. It may fin
ally reach the courts if any one cares
to make a test case of it.
So far as known Mr. Maupin is the
first person to ask for the union label
on state printing. Some have insisted
on having the label on printing for
theirown personal use, but none have
claimed the right to require the print
ing to specify that it shall be used
on state printing. The legislature has
frequently been asked to require it to
be done, but has always failed to do
so. Governor Shallenberger will suc
ceed State Treasurer Brian the first
of July. When the governor's office
recently submitted estimates for state
printing no request was made to re
quire the printer to use the union
label. He is counted on to side with
Mr. Maupin if a controversy is to be
stirred up.
The governor was placed on the
printing board by an act of the last
legislature with power to appoint a
"secretary" of the state board, but the
act is considered inoperative as to the
appointive power because it leaves
unrepealed a section of the statute
permitting the three members of the
board to appoint an "expert" printer
at a salary of $1,200 a year, the very
job that the bill was designed to place
at the governor's disposal. Lincoln
Journal, May 11.
The above is reprinted because it
may be of passing interest to the un
ionists of Nebraska. The .printing done
done for the labor bureau bore the
union label when Mr. Watson was
deputy commissioner. All printing done
for the department since Mr. Manpin
assumed charge has borne the label,
and Mr. Maupin insists that all print
ing for the department in future, while
he has charge, shall bear the same ornament.

MAY MUSICAL FESTIVAL.
Lincoln's Big Union Represented at
Big Meeting in Minneapolis.
The annual convention of the Amer
ican Federation of Musicians began at
Minneapolis last Tuesday and will
continue over Sunday. The Lincoln
union is represented by W. T. Pin
ney. Delegates to the number of 300
gathered from all parts of the United
States and Canada. President Web
ber of Cincinnati called the conven
tion to order and introduced Mayor
J. C. Haynes, who gave the visitors
a warm welcome to the city. Gover
nor John A. Johnson, who was es
corted to the convention by a band
of 200 pieces, welcomed the visitors
on behalf of the state.
Receptions, trolley rides, banquets,
tally-ho parties and lake excursions
will give the visiting members and
their wives plenty of entertainment
between business sessions. The con
vention is acknowledged to be the
largest in the history of the organiza-tion.-
The news of the sad death of Julius
Meyer of Omaha, will cause a feeling
of sorrow to permeate the hearts of
all the old-time members of the Mu
sicians Union in the wesL It will
also sadden the hearts of many union
ists of other crafts. Mr. Meyer orga
nized the Omaha Musicians Union
and was always interested in the or
ganization. Organized labor had no
better friend. Continued ill health
caused Mr. Meyer to become despon
dent, and last Tuesday he ended his
suffering by taking his own life. His
character may be understood when
it is known that he was "Uncle Ju
lius" to hundreds of Omaha children;
he gave them a big party every year,
and he never was too busy to stop
his work and give them a welcome
and enter into their childish sports.
