THE NORTH DIRECTORY.
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 Ianca8ter 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 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.

THE GENIAL KNOCKER.
What the Labor Editor Has to Go
Against Pretty Often.
Editor Shobert of the Fort Wayne
Labor Times Herald, in writing his
introductory to the proclamation re
cently issued by Secretary Maupin of
the International Labor Press Asso
ciation, says: "The, report is here
with submitted and recommended to
the careful perusal of every union man
in Fort Wayne, particularly to .those
magnanimous fellows, who feel, as
though they are doing the Labor Edi
tor a great favor by allowing him to
pr.'ut a paper at his own expense." :
Brother Shobert hits the nail square
ly on the head with the above state
ment, as there are persons who claim
to be trade unionists who are the
ones to show the least interest in the
"-access of the Labor paper. In one of
our neighboring towns a union man,
who, by the way, is a cigarmaker, at
tempted to get a resolution passed in
the central body, compelling the labor
editor to send his paper free tp; every
union man in that city, and gave as a
measly excuse that the labor editor
could live on the advertising patron
age a'.oiio. ,.i npillng in this, he at
tempted to deprive the labor paper
of issuing a .-souvenir, edition for La
bor Day, and went out and scabbed
on the labof ed'-tion by soliciting ad
vertising and getting out a souvenir
program. Those are only a few of the
many illustrations that could . be
brought out. -Bllnois Tradesman.

Union made sample shoes
1-2 off Rogers & Perkins
1129 O Street.
Molders and bricklayers in Jackson,
Mich., reinstated several members last
week. It means that before spring
every man working at the trade in
that city will carry a union card.
; On, January 1, . 1910, the length of
the work day for iron molders in San
Francisco will' be reduced from eight
and a half hours to eight and a quarter
hours, without any reduction of wages.
Great Britian nhas narrowly escaped

controversy, have been settled by ar
bitration, with concessions on both
sides.
The skilled steel, workers, including
salaried men employed in the big steel

NEW ZEALAND'S GOOD WAY.
Progressive Province Punishes Men
Whs Do Wrong to Labor.
At Pa!mer3ton North, New Zealand,

ing. F. Hall was recently fined $25
for paying less than the awarded rate
to two of his workmen, and these in
turn were fined $2.50 each for accept
ing. Hall was also fined lesser sums
for (1) failing to keep a proper wage
book: (2) failing to pay wages to four

register of employment.
WISDOM IN CHUNKS.
Showing How a Foolish People De
light In Being Deceived.
To read the daily papers one would
think Speaker Cannon and Senator
Aldrich are the only enemies of good
government in tljis country.
Does any sane man believe that Joe
Cannon could be absolutely master of
the House of Representatives, for a
single instant, if he stood alone?
Did Mr. Aldrich, single handed,
squeeze through the tariff steal?"
What power is back of the Danville
weasel end the Rhode Island' senator?
And who are the men who oppose
these men? .
What is the date of their death bed
repentance?
Why don't they tear away the cur
tain that conceals the real power?
Have you noticed that the opponents
of Cannon and Aldrich are mighty
careful that no mention is made of
Standard Oil, Morgan, the trusts, na
tional banks, contractors and other
forms of Privilege?
Fighting individuals is spectacular,
but harmlessbut harmless.
If you don't strike at tie base of
supply, Greed will furnish you another
Cannon and another Aldrich men
versed in new methods and new tac
tics. And then people will talk of
"THEIR "victory." Editors, who know
better, will second the motion, and
the coupon clippers will smile To
ledo Union Leader.
THE MAN "HIGHER UP."
Hard to Get, But the Laborer Always
N Easy to Find.
A few laborers have been convicted
for participating in the gigantic sugar
frauds. ;
The Sugar Trust, trapped and with
out any loophole of escape, virtuously
repaid a part of the millions that it
stole from the government.
There has been brave talk at Wash
ington about "thorough investigation"
and reaching the "men ' higher up.",
But thus far nobody has been con
victed but the laborers; and the in
vestigation has- been in progress for
months. ...... ;
Up to date the highest man up has
been a weigher employed ori the Sugar
TrtiF-t docks in New York. Surely he
did not get the pilfered millions.
Is it impossible ever to get the man
"higher up?"
Who got the millions that were
stolen from the people?
The Sugar Trust, by returning part
of the loot, admitted the crime. ,
Surely, in this instance, it ought
not be so hard to run down the big
criminals.
When indisputable proof was pro
duced that tfie traction properties of
New York had been looted,- it was
said that Whitney was the looter, and
Whitney was dead. ,
It was said the other day that Have-
meyer was responsible for the Sugar
Trust frauds, and Havemeyer is dead..
But the Sugar Trust continued to
rob the government after Havemeyer
died.
Are' the men "higher tip" in the
Sugar Trust frauds to escape just as
the men "higher up" in the insurance
frauds, and the New York traction
crimes escaped? Buffalo Republic.
INSISTS ON THE LABEL.
One State House Office That Demands
the "Little Joker."
Labor ' Commissioner Maupin ; is
again having trouble with the union
label, or rather, the absence of it. At
the letting of contracts for. printing
supplies for the state departments Mr.
Maupin specified that his printing sup
plies should carry the union label. The
York Blank Book company secured the
contract and it does not-nse the union
label. ' - ':"
A representative of the York, firm
was here today and was informed by
Mr. Maupin that If he did the work
he would not be able to get his . pay
until he fought for it. There the mat
'ter rests. Lincoln Correspondence

A CONVENIENT. CALENDAR. '
Once more The Wageworker is in re
ceipt of the. calendar sent out by the
Tobacco Workers' ' International -Union.
It is not a gaudy production, but
it is union made, and It has-that other
merit of ; being legible and wonder
fully convenient. It is hanging on the
Wageworker's office wall, and as we
refer to it day by day we extend "to
the Tobacco 'Workers our hearty
thanks and wish them abundant pros
perity during the year.
LIKES THE TEMPLE.
Editor Bushnell Is Pleased With His
Visit to Labor's Home. . '.
The Lincoln Labor. Temple on North
Eleventh street is Hearing completion,
the carpenter work being completed
and the electric . lighting being . all
placed. Much of the furnishings have
been ordered and in a few weeks or
ganized labor of the city will have a
home of which . they may ..well , be
proud. One of the two ground floor
rooms is being fitted up for a store
room and' this will be for rent. The
other ground, floor room is' already
equipped with an office and cigar stand
and with a pool hall with four tables.
The poo) hall is "run with a minimum
charge, the aim being only to' charge
enough to maintain the equipment.
The entire second floor will be used
by the organized labor ... societies.
There are on this floor two large halls
and one small hall, and these halls
will, be used- practically every night
for the meeting of women interested
ganizations, some twenty ' organiza
tions" already having leased hall room
for their use.; One of the front rooms
on the second floor will be furnished
for the meetingof women interested
in labor and for a rest and reception
room where men can have their wives
come and have a waiting room at their
disposal. The sanitary arrangements
are complete and the rooms are all
heated with steam and will be home
like and attractive. The Temple As

down to the minimum and are making
rental charges as low as possible so
