CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
First October Meeting Will Be Held
Next Tuesday Evening. ;
The first October meeting of the
Centra Labor Union will be held at
Bruse's hall next Tuesday evening, and
some interesting matters will come be-
, fore the body. A proposition will be
made to engage in a series of open
meetings that will he social and edu-
catlonal In their character. Some in
teresting discussion on traction mat
ters will also be held.
The central body is in. a position
now to take the lead in some good
movements; and with a little more
enthusiasm It can perform good serv
ices in the cause of unionism. Every
delegate should make it a point to at
tend the meeting next Tuesday evening.
count it is contemplated to take up a!
collection, to reimburse the state. The
plans, however, " are as yet in the
formative stage, but unless the strike
comes to a sudden termination the
petitions will be circulated. .
Governor Shallenherger has an
nounced officially he will call an extra
session for the purpose of passing a
guaranty bank deposit law should the
present law be declared void by the
federal court, providing the decision
goes into details on the weak points
of the law. This decision is looked for
within a short time, and if the gov
ernor decides to call the extra session
immediately upon the filing of the de
cision the friends of the strikers- will
request that the creation of a state
board of arbitration be included in his
cail. Omaha Bee.
GLOVEWORKERS' BALL.
WILL ASK ARBITRATION.
Will Seek Legislation Along that Line
at Extra Session.
To secure an extra session of the
legislature for the enactment of a law
providing for the creation of a state
board of arbitration is the latest 'move
contemplated by friends or sympathiz
ers of the striking street carmen.
The proposition will be submitted to
some of the strike leaders during the
day and it is contemplated to have
petitions circulated among the people
of Omaha within a short time.
Those who contemplate this move
have figured that it will cost about
$20,000 to $30,000 to hold a special
session of the legislature, and If the
governor should hesitate on that ac-
First Annual Function ' at Fraternity
Hall on October 13.
, The Glovemakers' Union of Lincoln
the only one of its kind west of Chi
cago is not afraid of the "Thirteen"
hoodoo, 1 or anything else, for that
matter.' As proof the members have
selected October 13 as the date for
their first annual ball, and Fraternity
hall has been selected as the place of
holding it. Bruse's orchestra will fur
nish the music.
The Glovemakers' Union is not a
large body numerically speaking, but
it is made up of "live ones" in the
union movement, and they may be
counted on to show their guests a
good time on the occasion of the
union's first annual ball. The tickets
are 50 cents per couple, extra lady 25
cents. A cordial invitation is extend

TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION.
October Meeting Was Short and Lit
tle Business Transacted.
The meeting of the Typographical
Union last Sunday was a little short
er than usual, and practically noth
ing was considered except routine
business. The committee appointed
to report on matters financial did so
and made a few recommendations.
They were taken under advisement
and will be acted upon at the Novem

The street railway men will hold
their regular semi-monthly meeting

ing, beginning promptly at midnight.
Business of Importance will come be
fore the association, among other
things being the consideration of the
case of - a former official who is
charged with being recreant to a
trust reposed in him. It is rumored
that this former official la now "scab

has not yet been verified.
An international officer will prob
ably be present to confer with the
members about certain matters, and
every one should be present to listen
and take a part. Former Secretary
Damewood left Monday for Phillips
county, Colo., where he has some real
estate business to transact. He will
probably engage in business in that
section of the country. The local or
ganization is not at all alarmed about
the rumored collapse of the strike
in Omaha. They are being kept
posted on a lot of matters that are
not being given to the general pub
lic. A street car strike is not al
ways lost when the service is prac

A suitable building is in view, and
an effort is being made to arrange

the unionists of Lincoln to get busy
and pay out, or stand to lose what
has already been paid in and pledged.
The directors will meet again Mon

San Francisco Labor Man Refuses to

San Francisco,' Sept. . 27. Andrew
Gallagher, vice president of the Inter
national Photo Engravers, secretary of
the Labor Council and a big labor
leader,' today, declined to dine at the
banquet at Fairmont hotel to be tend

said, "until the president changes his
attitude toward .two' problems with
which organized labor' have to deal,
I shall not feel it consistent with my
principles to accept an invitation to
meet Taft at the banquet where he is
received as the head of the govern

WHAT'S THE USE?
Mitchell Syndicated His Letters Just
Like Gompers Does.
People who live In glass houses
shouldn't throw stones. When Presi
dent Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers went abroad several years
ago and sold newspapers his . obser
vations written there, nobody raised
any fuss and feathers. Now the of
ficial organ of that organizations tries
to raise a tempest in a teapot be
cause President Gompers . of the
American Federation of Labor is do
ing exactly what President Mitchell
did.
This was the answer given by an
official of the federation today to the
attack on President Gompers con
tained in the current Journal of the
United Mine Workers. '
"President Gompers," said the of
ficial of the federation today, ''was
only induced to permit syndicating of

WHERE WATTLES MISSED IT.
Could Have Added Something to His
Business Reputation.
G. W, Wattles points with pride to
the fact that he was the head of the
Trans-Mississippi exposition at Oma
ha and that it was the first exposi
tion in the " history . of expositions
that paid out. Why would it not he
just as glorious for Mr. Wattles to
have made another record for him
self as the head of one corporation
that received its employes and treat
ed them as fellow, men and fellow
laborers in the , economy and com
mercial life? Is it not .about time
to discard, this, old chestnut? ."There
