Of course you want to know why we say ri
In the first place,' the money you pay for the trust made cigars
goes out of Lincoln, never to return. Secondly, every faif job

coin. Two hundred cigarmakers working fall time in Lincoln would
mean an increase of $3,000 a week in the pay roll, and that would
mean $3,000 a week more spent with you. The poorly paid work
man in the trust and tenement factories of the east never trade a
penny's worth with you.
If 75 per cent of the cigars consumed in Lincoln were made in
Lincoln, every line of business would feel beneficial results. Why?
Because it would put from $2,500 to $3,000 a week into the business
channels of the city.
Think this over. Exercise both your eommonsensa. your busi
ness sense and your local pride and patriotism. Get those Lincoln
made cigars from under your counter and put them in the con
spicuous places in your cigar cases. TTt4 of t.g a. local

Important Union Business.

time ordinarily consumed.
The first business was to revert
back, to a matter of a month ago and
undo something. The election of Mr.
Ford to the presidency to fill a vacan

ing in conflict1 with the fundamental
law. and Vice President Peat was
made president. This was done with
Mr. Ford's acquiescence. Mr. Peat
will serve as chief executive until the
July meeting.
The ball committee reported the col

THE ELECTRICAL WORKERS.
Omaha Inside Men on the Outside, De

"We Insist upon running our own
business to suit ourselves."
Of course you've heard that before.
It Is always the statement of employ
ers who are opposed to union labor.
But as a general proposition these em
ployers lie In their throats when they
make the assertion. Up In Omaha
there are a lot of employers like that.
They claim they want to run their
business to suit themselves, and then
let the Business Men's Association
the union busting clan do it for
them. That's the way things are
going la the matter of the demand
made bhe inside men of the Elec

the workers only want it made uni

At most, the new scale would make

Mr. Parren claims many non-union
men joined the strikers Monday and
agreed that the scale should be set
at 50 cents per hour.
The Electrical club, composed of
contractors and fixture houses, has

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
FREMONT UNIONISTS.
Bunch of Lively Ones Making Things
Move on Union Lines.
The unionists of Fremont seem
worthy of mention among the "Live
Ones." all right. They are getting
ready to launch a labor paper, backed
by solid union support. They have a
live central body with eight unions
represented, all of whom have elected
delegates to the State Federation of
Labor meeting. They announce, too,
that they are going after the 1910
meeting of the Federation.
Already the Fremont unionists have
begun preparations for the proper ob
servance of Labor Day. They will
have a big parade, a union labor ex
hibit and a trades display that prom
ises to be something worth going miles
to see. New life has been injected
into every union in the city, and from
now on there promises to be "doings'
In the capital ot Dodge county.
Col. A. H. VanWle of the Fremont
Typographical Union was in Lincoln
last Tuesday, looking after some busi
ness pertaining to the work in that
city. He Is enthusiastic over the out
look. He says the new labor paper
will be managed by a committee elect
ed for the purpose, and that it already
has subscriptions and advertising
contracts enough to insure the pay
ment of the expenses ot publication.
A couple ot new unions will be char
tered before we celebrate the victory
our great grandfathers won over the
British, and the old unions will be
strengthened in the meantime.
Lively Session That Got Through in
Record Breaking Time.
Tuesday evening and managed to get
through the regular order of busi
ness earlier than usual. And at that
it enjoyed some good talks and got
away with a lot of business. All trades
reported good with the exception of
the bartenders and gloveworkers.
Rev. S. Z. Batten and Rev. W. H.
Zenor, delegates from the ministerial
association, were present, and both
favored the assembly with short and
forceful talks. S. D. Smith, of Have
lock, appeared with credentials from
the Blacksmiths' Union. - The Machin
ists also appeared in the person of
two newly . lected delegates.
The matter of a "labor headquar
ters"' was discussed, but no action
taken, the central body deeming it
advisable to await the action of a
committee now working with, that
end in view. However, a committee
of five was appointed to act jointly
with committees from other organi
zations in an effort to improve social
conditions. The committee consists
of Messrs. Kelsey, Chase, Woelhoff,
Weckesser and Maupin.
' The next regular meeting night
falling on the second night of the
State Federation of Labor convention,
it was decided to take a recess until
Saturday evening. June 19 at which
time the central body will meet at the
office of the labor commissioner at
the state house.
Attention was called to the oppor
tunity to organize the laundry work
ers through the medium of the new
laundry company about to start up in
business. The organization of the
street railway men was discussed, but
no action was taken. The discussion
at time waxed a little warm on this
proposition.
The Ministerial Union now has three
delegates to the central body. Rev. Mr.
Batten, of the First Baptist church;
Rev. Mr. Roach, of St. Paul's M. E.
church; Rev. Mr. Zenor, of the East
Side Christian church.
A committee was appointed to start
something looking toward a proper

tary was instructed to ask all affiliated
unions to select members of a gener
al Labor Day committee to take up
the matter and push it along.
