UP TO YOU.
Whether the unionists of Lincoln
have a meeting place all their own, or
whether they continue to pay rent
to rank outsiders, is a question that
is now up to the unionists themselves.
The directors of the Labor Temple
Asociation have taken the plunge
it is up to the unionists to either make
success or acknowledge failure.
It will take persistent effort, great
sacrifice and lots of. hard work to
achieve success, but success will be
won. No doubt about tnat. win you
be among those who help to win, or
will you enroll , yourself with the
'knockers," the "quitters" and the
whlners?"
You must decide right now. There
is no time for delay. If you want to
be a part owner In a valuable prop
erty; if you want to be a factor in the
work of putting trades unionism on its
proper plane in Lincoln; if you want
to be a worker instead of a shirker
if you want to be right and stay
right, get into the game now. Come
across with your money! Come across
with your help. It is now or never.
The handful of men who have been
devoting their time and their money
to this work have gone as far as they
can go alone, if you ao not come
along the rest of the way, the "stuff
is
off."
The building at 217-219 North Elev
enth street has been purchased. The
consideration is $18,000, on terms that
are easy if all will take noia. 'rne
building is a good one, and amply
large for present needs. It can be
enlarged when necessity demands.
It
will be a ' paying investment.
Come on in; the water's fine!
O, THUNDER!
No matter that thousands of women
and children are being ground to frag
ments beneath the wheels of the in
dustrial Moloch in the crowded cities
of the east.
No matter that unaer a growing
industrial despotism this country is
rapidly nearing a feudalism that will
make that of King John look like a
golden epoch of reformation.
No matter that hundreds of thous
ands of little children are being
worked like slaves in mills and sweat
shops.
No matter that municipal corrup
tion flourishes and is winked at in
high quarters.
No matter that special privilege is
encroaching upon the rights of free
men until today it is a crime to insist
upon one's constitutional rights to free
speech and free assembly.
All these things amount to nothing
a mere cipher with the rim rubbed
off by the side of the fact that Gov
ernor Shallenberger has seen fit to
appoint Elder James Huff to the posi
tion of chaplain of the state prison.
And so "a Methodist conference at
Kearney and a Baptist convention at
Lincoln, relegating such things as so
cial unrest, child slavery, sweat shops
starvation and white slavery Into the
background, rip things up because
Governor Shallenberger selected Elder
Huff for a position at the prison.
And yet parsons and parishioners
wonder why the workingman doesn't
evidence a greater interest in the
church
The editor of The Wageworker has
known Elder James Huff for fifteen
years, and knows him to be a God
fearing, upright, honest gentleman
He knows Elder Huff to be a Christian
gentleman whom it is a privilege to
call neighbor and friend. It is true
that Elder Huff pays allegiance to
denomination that does not appeal to
the editor of The Wageworker, but
the same might be said of some for
mer chaplains of the state prison,
The beliefs of Elder Huff are no more
fantastic to the editor of this little
paper than the beliefs of some com
municants of other churches common
ly acepted as orthodox and evangeli
cal. But tne editor of this paper
doesn't care a tinker's anathema what
a man's religious beliefs are so long
as his word and his works are along
lines that help men to better living,
fill their hearts full of hope and gives
them the courage to Btrive forward
This editor would take his chances
alongside Elder Huff quicker than
alongside the moral snobs who lose
sight of the real evils of the day in
their anxiety to stir up a fight on
schisms and creeds and dogmas. This
editor is a Protestant, but one of the
quickest ways of getting a fight out
of him is to cast some sneering re
flection upon the consecrated women
who make up the Catholic sisterhoods,
for he has personal knowledge of
their goodness, their kindness and
their never-failing charity.
The spectacle of two great church
denominations forgetting all questions
of human betterment in the deuncia
tion of the governor for appointing to
a minor office a good man whose crime
is that he does not worship at the
same altar with them, is not one cal
culated to impress workingmen with
the idea that the churches are taking
an interest in real human affairs.
When men and women who profess
to be followers of the Carpenter of
Nazareth can get together without
pulling hair and jabbing one another
in the midriff, then it will be time
enough for them to come to the work
ingmen with the gospel of peace and
the golden rule. Until then a major
ity of the wage earners will stand off
to one side and .watch the .fighting and
the scrapping and the backbiting that
is being carried on in the name of
religion.
We desire to call the especial at
tention of Wageworker readers to the
article, "Whom Do You Sympathize
With," which appears elsewhere in
this issue. It is from the Newman
Grove, Nebr., Reporter, and the man
who wrote it deserves the thanks of
every loyal trades unionist.
If those who boosted that splendid
M. C. A. campaign to a glorious
conclusion will now come to the front
with 10 per cent as much money for
Labor Temple purposes, they will, do
work that will reach a class of
people that he Y. M. C. A. cannot
reach in a century.
The Business Men's Association of
Omaha boasts that its boycott of
unions has busted several of them.
But if the union starts a boycott on
those business men, the union men
will go to jail. Yet we must believe
that the laws are made for the rich
and poor alike.
Gee! How things are mixed. Be
cause Lincoln is dry the fair at
tendance fell off about 25,000. And
because Omaha is wet the Ak-Sar-Ben
attendance fell off about 50,000. Isn't
thafenough to keep an anxious in
quirer guessing?
The Cudahy Packing Co. has been
fined $97,777.50 for, not' properly
stamping its oleomargarine packages
The date set for the remission of the
fine has not been made public.
Mayor Love would make a hit by
tendering the appointment of police
chief to some of the fiery critics of
Chief Rickard. It might also serve
to call a few bluffs. , .
Perhaps that District of Columbia
federal Judge would like to jail for
contempt the 30,000 unionists who
paraded in welcoming Samuel Gom
pers home.
Who is making the most Christian
like stand. Elder James Huff or the
denominationalists who are abusing
him because of his peculiar religious
beliefs?
What a pity Uncle Sam Gompers
was bora in England. That means he
can never be a candidate for president
or vice president of this republic.
As long as Lincoln wants a hun
dred-a-month chief of police, that is
just the kind of a chief of police Lin
coin will have.
Perhaps it would Solve the problem
if the convicts were allowed to express
their preference for a religious ad
visor.
A dollar invested in Labor Temple
stock now means dollars returned in
cash and betterment. Come across!
A vote for Faulhaber is a vote to
make a good man, a union man, sheriff
of Lancaster county.
Louis Faulhaber has never held
public office. His opponent has never
done anything else.
Either the federal judiciary must; be
abolished or liberty will soon be a
memory.
If you really want a Labor Temple,
now is the time to prove it.
A union meeting place

Saturday

Louis Faulhaber, democratic candi-
date for sheriff, is a - union man of
many years' standing, and in every
way competent to discharge the du
ties of that high office. He is a mem
ber of the Carpenters Union, and
loyal to the core. He ought to have
the support and vote of every union
man in Lancaster county. So far as
known, he is the only card man who
is a candidate for county office.
The first time we see Colonel Bran
dies we are going to chide him for
not having a better aim and a longer
reach.

Don't forget that there is a vast dif
ference between a non-union man and
"scab." '
By the way, Mr. Omaha Preacher,
is heaven an "open shop?"
Uncle Sam Gompers seems to have
a few friends left, eh!
The Omaha Ministerial Association
is trying to forget it.
Got any Labor Temple stock? If
not, why not?
WEISMAN FOR REGISTER OF
DEEDS.
Opportunity Afforded to Support a
Good Unionist for Office.
When the democrats of Lancaster
county nominated John T. Wiesman
for register of deeds the builded bet
ter than they knew. They may have
thought they were only nominating a
good man and democrat. If that were
all this humble little labor paper
would not give .the matter much
thought, for whatever else it may be
it is not now, nor never was, a parti
san newspaper. But the democrats
nominated something more than a
good fellow and a good democrat when.
they nominated Weisman they nom
inated a strong union man, a unionist
who has made good when it came to
showing his union colors. John T,
Weisman is a member of Claude
Champion Division, No. 227, Order of
Railway Conductors, and while he has
not been in the railroad service for
years, he keeps up his active member
ship and his active interest in the
work.
Mr. Weisman was born in Germany,
but when four years old was brought
to Wisconsin by his parents. He en
listed in the Eighth Illinois Infantry
under Lincoln's first call, and at the
end of three months re-enlisted for
three years, being transferred to Mc
Allister's battery. He served a total
of four years and three months.
Shortly after the war he went to Kan,
sas and worked in various capacities
on the Kansas Pacific, then building.
In 1872 he came to Lincoln and was a
conductor on the old Atchison & Ne
Draska road. Afterwards he was a
Burlington conductor and for a time
served in a similar capacity on the
Union Pacific. He is now a member
of the legislative committee of the Or
der of Railway Conductors. In 1868
he helped to organize the Order of
Railway Conductors, and for several
terms was chief conductor of the local
division. He has represented the con
ductors at twenty-twq national conven
tions. All told he railroaded for thir
ty-one years and has always been pop
ular with the men in the service. He
is a member of the Grand Army of the
Republic and an Odd Fellow.
This, in brief, is a sketch of the man
who has been nominated for register
of deeds by the democrats of Lancas
ter county. As stated in the begin
ning, the fact that he is a democrat
cuts almighty little ice with this labor
newspaper. But the fact that he is a
staunch union man, a believer in or
ganized labor and a practitioner of
what he preaches, appeals to The
Wageworker, and it ought to appeal
to every union voter in the county,
Weisman has stood up for his union
ism when it meant trouble for himself,
but a little thing like trouble never
worried him. If you want to know
more about his union record, go among.
the men with whom he has worked as
a railroad man.
CHURCH AND LABOR.
Tomorrow (Sunday) evening the ed
itor of The Wageworker will accept
the invitation of the pastor of the
Havelock Methodist church and oc
cupy the pulpit long enough to make
a ' few remarks concerning "Church
and Union." It will be the editor's
first visit to HJavelock since Lincoln
went "dry." If you happen out Have
lock way Sunday evening, and haven't
anything else to do, you might drop
into the Methodist church and hear a
layman tell what he thinks about it.
You will surely be welcome by the
pastor, the editor and the congrega
tion. Both the Railway Trainmen and the
Railway Carmen have cut out the title
of "Grand Chief." Next!
