CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Hears Profitable Report and Prepares
for Good Work in 1910.
The Central Labor Union, at its
meeting last Tuesday night, performed
a service to the trades union interests
of Lincoln and at the same time
served the best interests of a large
number of business men of Lincoln.
At the December 14 meeting of the
central body a committee was ap
pointed to confer with a committee
from the Retail Grocers' and Butchers'
association concerning an amendment
to the peddler's ordinance whereby the
license might be raised from 15' to
$100 a year. The Grocers and Butchers'
Association heard it rumored that
the central body was opposing the or
dinance and sought the conference,
which was readily granted. The two
committees met at the Temple prior to
the meeting of the central body and
went over the ground thoroughly. The
central body's committee insisted that
reciprocity should be practiced, and
pointed out to the representatives of
the grocers and butchers that' they
were not doing for organized labor
what they asked organized labor to do
for them. In other words, while asking
organized labor in Lincoln to help
them in getting rid of unfair competi
tion they were putting Lincoln work
ers up against the competition of con
vict labor, foreign labor and tenement
labor. Their attention was called to
the fact that a majority of them han
dled only tenement house cigars, or
trust made cigars, thus practically dis
criminating against Lincoln workers.
Also that they invariably pushed the
penitentiary made brooms Instead of
trying to advance the cause of honest
labor. Nor was the matter of Lin
coln made flour, confectionery, etc.,
overlooked.
"The business men ask us to help
them rid themselves of this floating
competition," said Mr. Quick, of the
central body, "yet, when we carpen
ters who own our little homes and are
doing our part towards building up
Lincoln, see work growing better, we
are immediately confronted with the
competition of carpenters imported in
to the city. These imported carpen
ters leave their families In other towns
and when business grows slack they
hike back home, taking with them the
money they have earned, and while
we are thus deprived of work the Lin
coln grocer Is deprived of an equal
amount of patronage. Wouldn't it be
well for you gentlemen to look at that
side of the case?"
Rev. Mr. Zenor, a fraternal delegate
and one of the committee from the
central body, spoke at some length on
the economic aspects of the confer
ence, and his talk was listened to with
appreciative interest. The members of
the visiting committee admitted that
some matters had been put to them in
a new light, and they urged the cen
tral body's committee to appear be
fore the next meeting of the associa
tion and explain their side of the case
as it had been explained at the con
ference. The central body jumped at
the invitation, and at the regular meet
ing of the Retail Grocers and Butchers'
association, Tuesday evening, January
11, the matter will be fully and frank
ly discussed.
The Wageworker is convinced that
out of this friendly conference and dis
cussion great good will come, not only
to the business interests of the city,
but to the wage earners of the city.
Rev. Mr. Zenor explained that he could
not attend the meeting on January !).
having an oufcof-town engagement,
end Rev. Mr. Batten, another frater
nal delegate, was asked to act in Rev.
Mr. Zenor's place.
The committee that acted wbeu tlie
late lamented commission charter was
framed was revived and Instructed to
act with the committee now engaged
iu drawing up a new charter. The com
mittee that recently took a part in op
posing the profit-sharing proposal be
tween the Traction Co., and the city
was Instructed to prepare and report
on some plan for the better safeguard
ing of the public's interest in the trac
tion matter.
Rev. Mr. Batten briefly summarized
a report adopted by a recent confer
ence of the churches of America as it
related to labor, and the report was
greeted with applause. This report
will be ready for publication in a short
time; and when it comes it will be of
great Interest to union men and
women, and doubtless the means of
greatly advancing the cause of organ
ized labor.
A "COPLESS" CRISTMAS.
Santa Ciaus Day in Lincoln Without
a Policeman on Duty.
Now what do you think of that? A
city of 65,000 people without a police
force on Christmas day? That's the
way Lincoln people behave themslves.
From early morning until 5 In the af
ternoon of Christmas day Chief of Po
lice Malone was the only police offi
cii?! on duty in the entire city of Lin
coln, and ho spent the day quietly at
headquarters.
The patrolmen were allowed to have
a hiiiUay, and they spent it at their

homes. Of course they were ready to
respond If call was made, but during
the entire day there was no need for
the services of a single patrolman,
and Chief Malone was "the whole
works" for ten hours.
This speakg volumes for the sobri
ety and good citizenship of Lincoln,
and for the confidence Chief Malone
has in his small but efficient force.
If there is another city of equal s!ze
in the United States that can match
Lincoln's police record, we'd like to
know where it is located.
Here's wishing Chief of Police Ma
lone and his whole force a mighty
Happy and Prosperous New Year.

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, 1 University Place,
College View, and Bethany, and the
names of wives who are propertyhold
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.
