ARE YOU DEALING WITH THEM? THE HOME MER- CHANTS. We want to call attention to our .advertisers. . Are you deal- ing with them? They' are the' ones who are making this pa- per possible and are demon- strating in the only way prac- ticable that they want your trade. They deserve it and $ should get it. Are you trading with merchants' who refuse to patronize these columns? If so, you are defeating the purposes of this paper, which is to aid you in keeping fair living con- $ $ dltions. If a merchant wants your patronage we know of no better way to demonstrate it than for him to say so through these columns. Please keep in mind and watch the regular change of advertisements.

"I suppose you had a good dinner?" "Well, we found out that Mrs. Cranklelgh is an active member of the society for boycotting all the high priced foodstuffs." Complete preparations have been made by the Carpenters for their big "rally ' meeting" - next Monday even ing, which will be held at the Tem ple. The "live ones" of the Carpen ters and Joiners have been working for this meeting for many weeks, and if there is a non-union carpenter in this vicinity who has failed to receive a personal invitation he has success fully kept his name from becoming known to any union carpenter in the city. Since starting on the present .campaign for membership the local union has received nearly fifty ap plications for membership, and this number will be largely increased after the great "rally." Monday night's meeting will be unique in many ways. There will be something more than the usual talks by union men; there will be enter tainment of various kinds, including instrumental and vocal music, and perhaps one or two athletic stunts. There will be an abundance of so ciability, too, and the non-union men who come will receive a hearty greet ing and be given every opportunity to enlighten themselves upon the sub TYPOGRAPHICAL TIPS Iast week The Wageworker made announcement of the fact that William M. Riley, of Dallas, Texas, Typo graphical Union, was an avowed can didate for president' of the I. T. U. Later The Wageworker received some of the Riley campaign literature and note was made of the fact that he was a delegate to the Toronto convention. Now, there were a few things about that Toronto convention to remember, and The Wageworker remembers them. As soon as we noted that Riley was a delegate to Toronto we looked up his record. The dirtiest trick ever turned at a convention of printers was the trick turned against Shelby Smith of Philadelphia, and we wanted to know how Riley stood. We found out. William Riley, candidate for president of the I. T. U., voted to hang Shelby Smith, and we'll see him, or any other man who voted as Riley voted, deeper in the "hellbox" than a cat can scratch in a month before we'll help him achieve his ambition. Any man who voted to muzzle free speech and a free press, as Riley did in tbe Shelby Smith case, gets neither the vote of the printer who writes this nor the support of the labor paper this printer edits. In heaven's name, can't "Dixie" offer something better than a New Orleans defaulter or a Dallas muzzier of free speech? The William Riley campaign committee can save considerable postage by scratching The Wageworker and its editor from its mailing list. Charley Fear of Joplin, Mo., an nounces his candidacy for delegate to the American Fe'deration of Labor. He is added to our list of preferred can didates. Fear has been a live one for years, and he is deserving of 'recogni tion for the good work "he has done. Every Typographical Union in the republic ought o get busy and make effective protest against the proposed increase in the postal rates on second class matter. . The increase is not needed. Let the government pay rea sonable rates for railroad transporta tion cf the mails, limit the franking privilege, and make the governmental departments pay their share of the cost. Increasing the rates on second class matter means . lower wages for the printing trades and lessened op portunities for work. William R. Hearst employs 770 union printers, and he pays them top wages and works them the minimum qumber of hours. No. 209 will meet next Sunday after noon, and there is a lot of important business to transact. The ball commit tee will make final report and have the tickets ready for distribution. Some matters pertaining to the label will be considered. A full attendance is desired. Work is good in fact better than good. It has been hard to furnish men, especially job men, for several weeks. The state veterinarian has promised to demand the label on all his sta tionery hereafter. The secretary of the historical society has also prom ised. Now let's go after the rest of them. Get ready for the annual ball, Feb ruary 23! CAPITAL AUXILIARY. The first meeting of Capital Auxil iary to be held in the Labor Temple was well attended and the ladies are more than pleased with their new home. Mrs. T. A. McCants, the wife of a member of No. 209, was favorably voted upon to become a member of the Auxiliary. The social dance held on January 26, our seventh anniversary, was well attended and a fairly neat sum was ject of unionism. Representatives of other unions will be on hand to help entertain the guests, and it looks now very much like the Labor Temple would be overrun on the occasion.' Lincoln carpenters might profit by investigating the way Council Bluffs carpenters do business. Council Council Bluffs is not nearly so large as Lincoln, yet the last meeting of the Council Bluffs local found nearly one hundred members present when the gavel fell. The Bluffs scale is higher than Lincoln's scale, too. The Bluffs local employs a business agent, pays him wages and keeps him on the job all tbe time. The union carpenters can be of big assistance to the building laborers if they will. And the building laborers can, if organized, be a big help to the carpenters. They ought to be helping one another right now. Local carpenters have not enlarged upon the meat boycott to any great extent. This, however, is on the same principle that the restaurant man has not sliced the ham any thinner for his sandwiches. " You are invited to the "rally" Mon-. day evening. added to our collection, which is to apply on the new furniture in the committee room. The members de cided at the last meeting to ask a donation of one dollar from each mem ber to pay this bill and a large part of it was paid February 1. Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Rood are re joicing over the arrival of a baby boy at their home last week. Mrs. W. A. Compton and children are visiting in York this week at the home of Mrs. Cpmpton's mother. The Auxiliary has placed a shotgun and case in the cigar store of the La bor Temple which they are anxious to dispose of, and we will appreciate hav ing our union friends take a number or two on it. The apron committee will meet with Mrs. C. B. Righter Friday afternoon, February 11. ' As many of the mem bers who can are requested to be on hand with their thimbles. Miss Fredetta Mickel and Mr Ray Smith of Harvard, Neb., were married Tuesday, February 1, at the home of Rev. J. Mickel, .the grandfather of the bride, who also performed the cere mony. Mrs. ' Smith was formerly a member of Capital Auxiliary. The next regular meeting of the Auxiliary will be held Wednesday, February 9, at the Labor Ten.ple. Mrs. A. L. Compton, hostess. INJUNCTION REFUSED. The master in chancery in the fed eral court in Indianapolis, Ind., to whom the evidence in the strike of the Elwood employes of the American Sheet and Tin Plate company was sub mitted, has decided to report against granting an injunction against the strikers. PRAISES TRADES' UNIONS. Frank A. Munsey, the magazine man, owns large publishing houses in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. In a recent heart-to-heart talk with his brother publishers he told how he had always employed union labor, with never the slightest friction. He has grown rich at it, and' besides being the leading magazine publisher, owns three daily newspa pers. ORGANIZING MACHINISTS. Six special international organizers of the Machinists' Union have bee assigned to districts in New England, who will undertake to absolutely or ganize the craft in that section be fore May 1, when, according to the present program, a demand for the eight-hour work day and substantial wage increases will be made at every point. Tardy Danger Signal. On the outskirts of a certain Eng lish village is a steep and dangerous hill. Not long ago an accident oc curred on the spot, and the matter was brought forward at a meeting of the council. It was decided to put up a danger board, and the joiner was instructed to make the notice as con spiclous as possible. "Never fear," said the carpenter, "I'll give 'em something to look at." At the top of the hill he affixed a notice board in the shape of a huge hand pointing down and bearing the words. "Stop and dismount." A lit tle further down a similar board bore the caution. "Apply your brake, or" On the third, "You'll soon shake hands At the bottom of the hill was the biggest board of all. This read. "With the undertaker. N. B.. This hill la dangerous." Just?. There is no rose without a thorn. There are specks on all our peaches; We never sat at a "banquet" yet But were bored to death by the speeches.
