NEBRASKA STATE FEDERATION OF LABOR-CONVENTION GALL
' Lincoln, Nebraska, November 24,
1909. In accordance wltii the consti
' tutionai provision I Hereby call the
Nebraska Federation of Labor to meet
in annual convention in the city ol
South Omaha, on January 4, 1910. The
representation in the convention is as
follows:
Each trades council or central body
is entitled to one delegate, and each
local union is entitled to one delegate
for each 100 members or fraction
thereof. Proxies are not allowed. The
Farmers' Union, ministerial associa
tions and auxiliaries composed of the
wives, mothers, daughters and sisters
of members of affiliated crafts are en
titled to one fraternal delegate each.
No delegate will be entitled to a seat
in the convention with voice and vote
unless the union of his or her craft is
affiliated with the Nebraska Federa
tion of Labor and all financial obliga
tions of such local union to this Fed
eration liquidated.
There is every reason why the or
ganized workers of Nebraska should
rally to make the Nebraska Federa
tion of Labor a powerful influence in
the social, economic and industrial life
of the commonwealth. Nebraska's
rapidly growing manufacturing indus
tries render It imperative that better
laws be enacted for the propeor safe
guarding of life and limb, and unless
the workers themselves take the mat
ter in hand there is little likelihood
of results being accomplished. At.
this time I take occasion to point out
some legislation calculated to benefit
not only .the workers and their fami
lies, but to benefit the entire common
wealth: The enactment of a law providing
for the establishment of a state board
of arbitration and conciliation.
The establishment of a state print
ing plant to the end that the state
may, in time, supply school text books,
state supplies, etc.
A revision of the labor laws now
upon the statute books.
A further extension of the employ
ers' liability law.
The abolition of the convict 'labor
contract and .lease system whereby
the labor of convicts is put into com
petition with free labor.
The better equipment of the Bureau
of Labor and Industrial Statistics to
the end that the Bureau may not only
advertise to better advantage the re
sources of Nebraska, but may be of
greater service to the vast and rap
idly growing army of women and men
engaged in industrial pursuits.
These are but a few of the impor
tant matters that organized labor
should carefully consider and use the
utmost efforts to forward. The im
portance of organization among the
different crafts is well emphasized by
the results that have accrued to indi
vidual craftsmen from organizations
of their respective crafts. Until such
time as the craftsmen of the state
shall have perfected a thorough or
ganization they can have little hope
of securing legislation calculated to
benefit them. In addition to securing
this beneficial legislation along indus
trial lines, a thorough organization of
the workers will forward the move
ment for the eradication of tubercu
losis and the improvement of the san
itary conditions amidst which thou
sands work and live.
I earnestly urge all organizations
of workingmen to affiliate with the
Nebraska Federation of Labor and be
represented at the convention in
South Omaha on January 4, 1910.
In due time the secretary, Frank P.
Hart, will send out information as to
hotel rates, place of meetings, etc.
The election of delegates should be
reported to him, 824 North Twelfth
street, South Omaha!
Fraternally, "
WILL M. MAUPIN,
President Nebraska Federation
of Labor.
The next big thing in Nebraska's
organized circle is the Federation of
Labor meeting at South Omaha, Jan

UNCOMMON CANDOR.
Nw York Lawyer Indicts High Soci
ety of Gotham.
"If adultery were punished in full
the boxes of the Metropolitan Opera
Houho would be very empty at times,
and if as a result of such adultery
leople were to take the law into their
own hands and shoot down others,
then I say the ranks of the. upper
classes would be considerably
thinned out."
These words were not uttered by an
agitator, a socialist, from a soap box
at a street corner. They were said in
court by Mr. Samuel Untermeyer, one
of the leading corporation lawyers in
this country. Judge Malone, in charg
ing the Jury, referred to him as a law
yer than whom none is more distin
guished in this nation. There can be
no doubt that he knows whereof he
speaks.
Is not Mr. Untermeyer guilty of Jese
majeste, or whatever is the equivalent
of this crime in our code? Is be not
undermining that respect of the "low
er classes" for the "upper classes"
which is so essential to the mainten
ance of the rule of the latter over the
former? Is he not, moreover, very
indiscreet in admitting the existence
of "upper classes" in this country?
Since when do distinguished lawyers
speak with so much of hearty can
dor'? '
But altogether Mr. Untermeyer
seems to be an exceedingly unpatri
otic and narrow-minded citizen. Why,
he even dared to suggest the horrible
notion that the administration of law
in this city is not superior to French
methods of justice, upon which every
true Anglo-Saxon is taught to look
with contempt as the product of the
inferior Latin race.
Decidedly, Mr. Untermeyer is an
Iconoclast, an enemy of society. De
cidedely, Mr. Untermeyer is a distin
guished person, notwithstanding the
fact that he is a distinguished law
yer. New York Call.

A HORRIBLE PICTURE.
Kate Barnard Shows How We Coin
Brains Into Gold.
"I watched a hog sticker in a pack
ing house stick three hundred hogs an
hour, ten tours a day," writes Kate
Barnard, Oklahoma's commissioner of
charities, in the October Survey.
"All day long the glittering dagger
rose and fell, and each time a hog
died, and the rich red blood owed
and splashed over the man's arms and
hands. He looked up at me and
smiled this human brother of i mine
and even as he smiled the glittering
dagger unerringly hit the jugular
vein. Two years later he went mad
but his hand never ceased its auto
matic . action, when the ligh': of
his brain went out, and he felled five
men before they could wrench from
him the terrible dagger a dagger no
more cold or unfeeling than those who
crushed his life. What an indictment
against those who would fasten on
their brothers the long workday. Sun
shine and human fellowship -daily
would have saved this man. But we
returned him to his Maker a maniac
we coined his brain into gold."
THE NORTH DIRECTORY.
Coming Issue Will Be Best Ever Of
fered to the County.
There are many reasons Why the
North City Directory should be pat
ronized by every citizen of Lancaster
county who needs a directory. One
reason is that it is wholly a home
product. All the work is done in Lin
coln, and Lincoln wage earners do it.
The men who publish It are Lincoln
business men whose every interest is
in Lancaster county. Apart from this
it is the most complete directory ever
issued for the community. In addi
tion to containing the names of, all
males over 21 years ,of age, it will
contain the names of all Lancaster
county taxpayers, a complete direc
tory of Havelock, University Place,
College View, and Bethany, and the
names of wives who are protfertyhold-
ers in their own right. It will also be
"thumb indexed," and contain many
other valuable and handy features.
The North Directory has given sat
isfaction in the past and there is every
reason why it should be patronized
to the exclusion of outside directories.
The money spent for or invested in
the North Directory . is kept in Lincoln.

The Wageworker. adv
NEED IT HERE.
Germany has a law that provides
that if it can be proved that a man is
earning a sufficient wage to support
those dependent on him, but that he
is dissipating that wage by vicious
habits,' he can ' be declared ' a -minor,
and he is then treated as a child. His
employer is told that the wage must
not be paid to the man, but to a guar
dian appointed by the magistrate of
the district in which he lives, who
uses it for the support of the wife and
children.
