BARBER & SON LABOR DAY IN OMAHA. Will Be Big Enough to Lap Over for a Couple of Days. Labor Day in Omaha will be such a big affair that it will be necessary to take three days in -which to proi erly celebrate it- The Omaha unions decided by an overwhelming rote not to parade this year, but to confine their efforts to making it an educa tional as. well as a social affair. Labor Day will be celebrated by a big picnic at Cortland Beach, and there will be speakers of national prominence. Tuesday evening there will be an other social gathering at the Beach. and Miss Mary E. McDowell of Chi cago will be one of the sneakers. Wednesday evening still another big social time will be enjoyed, and the speakers will be Judge Lee Estelle and Deputy Labor Commisisoner Matipin. -The committee in charge of Oma ha's celebration is working overtime to make the three-day affair a huge success, and the indications are now that it will be one of the biggest and best ever pulled off in this section of the industrial vineyard. expects, however, to open with an increased force about September 1.

National Establishment That Is a Joke On Laborers. One of our subscribers, who is an old government employe, seems much disturbed because of the rumor that the labor bureau is threatened with extinction. Our good friend is fearful that the alleged influence of the Civic Federa tion will wipe out the Labor Bureau and turn it into a "bureau for the study of child Hie." -With all due respect for the feelings and sentiments of our good friend, we will say right here that he need not worry about the labor bureau. It is a waste of time for him or anybody else to tell us what the bureau was created for or what it has done since it was established. We have been pretty well in touch with all impor tant labor events during the past twenty-five years and among other things, the work of the labor bureau has come under out personal observa tion on numerous occasions. The labor bureauu was created through the efforts of organized labor. but on all important matters its re ports have been seemingly framed up to meet the desires of the party in power, and it is believed hy many that the bureau has never yet report ed all the facts gathered by its' agents. To do so would probably cause trouble "for the party." When the late Carroll D. Wright was succeeded by the present chief, Dr. Charles P. NeilL we were told that we were to have a square deal; that the great problems having a di rect bearing upon the welfare of the working people would be investigated and the facts laid bare so that organ ized labor and its friends might take such steps as may be necessary to effect a remedy for the abuses which are known to exist. The record shows that Dr. Neiil has been chief of the bureau nearly five years and he has not yet made a re port of any consequence. The fact of the matter is. Dr. Neill is nothing more nor less than a fine type of those sociological college high-brows who have wormed their way into active participation in real labor matters, and, like most of them, he is unable to comprehend what he is up against. We do not say that Dr. Neill is not a "good fellow. Xot by any means. If you want a "jolly he is there with the goods every time. But when it comes to real labor matters, I think Dr. Xeill lacks the ability to get at the core of things. His knowledge comes from the books. He has not been up against every -day conditions that the average workingman has to contend, with. and. therefore, he can not understand them. Dr. Neill is a theorist, pure and sim ple. He is unable to grasp the things that have a close relation to the world ly affairs of workingtnen and? women, and hence our desire to see him trans ferred to a position where he can "study to his heart's content and ex ploit his knowledge of things em bryo tic. Washington Trades Unionist. IN BUTTE, NOT LINCOLN. Butte. Mont, is said to be the only city in the country which has at the same time a free park for the children and a street railway that provides free transportation to the park for them. Now, for goodness sake don't mention this in the' hearing of the management of the Lincoln Tractlou Co. We don't want to see a lot of eminent gentlemen throwing fits right at the intersection of Tenth and O streets. LABOR DAY AT WYMORE. The union men of Wj-more, includ ing the railway brotherhoods, are go- ; to celebrate Labor Day in the good old way. They will have a bi; picnic and a speaker of more than local fame, and in addition will have a fine program of music and sports. The union spirit is growing down in that section of the state. FAIRBURY WILL CELEBRATE. There is a big and lively bunch of unionists in Fairbury, and they are oing to properly observe Labor Day. They will have a picnic, a couple of good speakers, a fine musical program and a list of sporting events that will be worth going many miles to see. The editor of this little labor paper knows a lot of the union men in Fairbury, and he knows that when they undertake a thing it is always pulled off with big success. CONVENTIONS OF 1909.

Business has been dun enough in the cigarmaking line for many months, but it has been duller than ever for the last month. Two of the large firms have laid off men for the purpose of reducing stock, and as a result several members of the local union have been forced to seek em ployment elsewhere. Cinberg is preparing to move to hands me and well lighted new quarters in the Wilkinson block. Six teenth and O streets. In order to avoid moving more than absolutely neces sary he has laid off several men. He UNION PRINT SHOPS. Printeries That Are Entitled to Usa the Allied Trades Label.
