Quietly Tip Off to the Good Old Saint What Would Best Suit Them This Good Year. m Herlock Sholmes, representing The Wageworker, passed quietly among the ranks of Lincoln and Havelock unionists the first of the week, and after pleasant conversation proceeded to reason by deduction. As a result lie is able to tip off Santa Claus just what a lot of the boys would best like to And In their Christmas box. Now if the Jolly old saint does not come across It will be no fault of the famous sleuth nor of The Wageworker, which employed him at a salary never before paid by any newspaper In Lincoln to a reporter. C B. Righter "I'd like to have a squlrtless Mergenthaler, with a buck less distributor, and automatic payroll mooter and a few furnishers of copy who would cut off their hands and learn to write with their feet." H. C. Peate "I'd like to have prom ises from a lot of people that they'd quit patronising 'rat print shops. Also a cob pipe that would automatically load and light itself." Fred Kolb "I'd like to have a couple more Meihle presses in this basement, and a clean rag factory next. door." Fred Ihringer-r"01d Santa could fill me as full of rejoicing as Van Cleave is full of prunes by filling both my sox with pledges from union men for $12 worth of stock each in the Temple. I'm bughouse on the Temple proposi tion." T. W. Evans "Who, me? Why, if Santa. Claus will brine me the prom ise of a lot of grocers that they'll cut out the foreign made cigars and put in the Lincoln made smokoeos, I'll agree to wear a smile every day during the coming year.' W. L. Mayer "I'd like nothing for myself If only Santa claus would hand McNulty and Collins the proper package." George DeLacy "I'll be satisfied if Santa hands us the third story for the Temple. Fred Ihringer hasn't got any more Temple bugs than I have?" G. A. Thornburg "A long series of band concerts, Capital Beach running full blast, lots of political conventions and anything else calculated to make work for union musicians. That's about all, I guess." F. M. Coffey "A new code of labor laws, up-to-date and worthy of Nebras ka. If Santa don't bring It I'm going to hustle out and help get 'em any how." Colonel Woelhoff "A lot more peo ple who demand the working card of painters and paperhangers is the sum total of my ambition right now. But if Santa wants to fill my sox full of union made chawin' terbacker I'll not holler about it." O. M. Rudy "Say, Ihringer and De Iacey aren't in it with me on Temple bugs. I hope Santa will fill both my sox, my overshoes and my shoes, with applications for Temple stock in blocks of from ten to one hundred." G. A. Walker "I want a lathing hatchet that won't miss a nail. Also a bottle of cigars and a box of claret." John Cronley "A couple of good bird dogs, a new hammerless gun, a ton of smokeless shells, eleven hun dred new decoys, a pair of waders, a shooting cap and jacket and 365 days' vacation during the hunting season. With this little bunch of gifts I'll be well content." Fred Eisler "A couple of car loads of ginger to inject into the carpenters of Lincoln. That's all I ask." George Quick "I guess what Eisler wants Is good enough for me. If San ta hasn't got any more ginger I'll use half of what he gives Eisler." H. J. Pickard "If Santa Claus can furnish me a new joke about the 'rob ber plumber' I'll be happy- I'll imme diately give It to the general public through the newspapers." Bert Chipman "Nothing would suit me better than to get a lead pipe cinch to put on that Y. M. C. A. plumbing school joke." Doug. Smith, Havelock "I want nothing more than a small measure of ability to interest wage earners in the union game." T. A. Parker "Santa would make me happy by putting into my sox a promise that every union in Lincoln would have delegates regularly in at tendance upon the Central Labor Union meetings." T. C. Kelsey "Nothing for myself; everything for organized labor." Will Bustard Santa , Claus can't bring me what I want. It's another gift bringer that I'll have to depend on." President Umphries "A little box of union enthusiasm to distribute among the carmen. Also a little more sand for our boxes." Secretary Robinson, Barbers Union "Just a few days' relief from the old chestnut about barbers talking so much." H. Wlggenjost "I'd be satisfied with a new wing to the court house, a new lawn mower, a dandelion eradi cator and an appropriation for a few flower beds around the halls of jus tice." W. H. Bartelman "If Santa Claus comes near me I'll trim bis whiskers down in the latest style. Then he can give me whatever he pleases." v "Ted" Righter "Enough boxes of bon bons to go 'round. Gee, but this is an expensive age!" ; Fred Ress "A few applications for membership in the Bookbinders' Union." vFred Brenner Just a chance or two for tall, cold ones, as a reminder of the good old days.' Fred MIckel "Just permission to or der every new type face that strikes my fancy." , THEY ALL WATCH IT. Temple proposition ever progressed so smoothly before, anywhere In the whole world. But we are satisfied of one thing Lincoln will have 'em all beat in the way of a commodious, well-furnished, comfortable and at tractive Labor Temple. The Labor Temple Gets a Boost from Many Outside Sources. j The fame of the Lincoln Labor Temple is by- no means confined to Lincoln. Subscriptions to the capital stock have come from Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Iowa' and oth er states. T. G. Hemmett, who has been county clerk of Garfield county slnpe the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, convinced himself that he ought to have some part in it, so he send down the money for a couple of shares, saying it was a gocd thing to push along. That's the sort of thing that makes the Temple boosters feel good.. And I they have had plenty of -reason lately for feeling good. We doubt If a Labor PRINTERS NOT ALONE. The printers of Lincoln, Neb., have subscribed ' for 500 shares of Labor Temple stock, and through this action have made it possible to start building in the near future. The Lincoln union will hold a ball in the near future, the proceeds of which will be devoted to buying more shares. Many of the members have also subscribed for shares individually. Trade unionists have caught the Labor Temple fever for fair in western cities. Worcester, Mass., Labor News. . CHANGED HEADQUARTERS. The general headquarters of the In ternational Hod Carriers and Building Laborers' Union of America will here after be located in Albany, N. Y., the removal taking place on December 1. Lincoln had a flourishing local of this international several years ago, but unfortunately it was wrecked on the rock of dual organization. Now would be a good time for the men who work at that branch of the building trades to get together and reorganize.
