CARPENTERS
After a long siesta which is a
Greaser word meaning somnolence
the local Carpenters' Union No. 1055,
has wakened up, and there is some
thing doing in carpenter circles. An
active propaganda for membership
is being waged, with the result that
applications are coming in every day.
The nrenarations . for the big "open
meeting" on February 7 are progres
sing at a lively rate, and on that date
there will be some mighty , lively do

be some "speechifying" on that occa
Kion the talkfest end of the program
will be short and to the point. Men
vrhn can sav a lot about unionism in
a very few words will speak, and there
will be several amusement stunts, re
freshments, etc. Just as fast as the
hustling committee can get hold of the
names of non-union carpenters person
al invitations to attend the open meet
ing are being mailed them, and then
comes a follow-up system of personal
rails for the purpose of extending a
cordial invitation than can be' extend
ed in cold type. If you know any non
union carpenters just report the name
to any union carpenter you may hap
pen to meet.

The Plasterers' Union of Lincoln is

Will Make an Effort to Revive the Or

Lincoln used to have a livei organi

to internal troubles in the internation

troubles have all been healed, how
ever, and now the local building labor
ers are getting ready to get buck into
the game. With this end in view a
call has been issued for a meeting of
hod carriers and building laborers at
the Labor Temple next Monday even
ing, at which time preliminary steps
looking towards organization will bo
taken.
If the building laborers succeed in

A MIGHTY GOOD IDEA.
Now Proposed to Have Sunday Educa
tional Meetings at Temple.
What The. Wageworker considers a
mighty good plan is now under discus-'
sion, with every likelihood that it will
be put into effect. It is to have a
series of Sunday afternoon meetings
at the Labor Temple, at which time
speakers of ability will deliver ad
dresses on topics of an educational na
ture along industrial lines. The mat
ter is being discussed in all its phases,
and the idea Is meeting with approval.
Several well known friends of organi
zed labor have already agreed to speak
on topics suggested to them. If the
plans are carried out "Church and La
bor" will be discussed by a well known
Lincoln minister and a. well known lay
man. Professor Howard of the state
university w?ll be asked to speak on
"direct Legislation," and a prominent
physicianwill be invited to speak on
the subject of "Prevention and Cure of
Tuberculosis." The subject of "Need
ed Labor Legislation' will also be one
of the subjects discussed.
There is no doubt that such a series
of meetings would be profitable and
attract good-sized audiences of union
men. It is to be hoped that the idea
will be put into practice.
