TYPOGRAPHICAL TIPS
Lincoln Typographical Union No.
209 wet last Sunday afternoon and
went through a lot of Important busi
ness In jig time. It was decided to
tend but one delegate to the next in
ternational convention which meets In
Minneapolis.' The amount of appro
priation was also settled upon.
y' It was "nomination day," too, and
there was a remarkable unanimity
displayed. The present International
uHinlniNtr.ittnn wn enrinmeri without
a dissenting voice. With the excep
tion of the big "eight-hour year" Un
roll) Typographical Union has always
been "anti-administration," but this
year everything seems smooth sailing.
The following endorsements were
made:
James M. Lynch, Syracuse, N. Y.,
president; George A. Tracey, San
Kr.Mcisco, Col., first vice-president; J.
W. Hays. Minneapolis. Minn., secretary-treasurer;
George P. Nichols, Bal
timore, Md., agent union printers'
home; Frank Morrison, Washington,
1 C, T. W. MucCullough, Omaha,
Neb., Hush Stevenson. Toronto, Can.,
nd M. W. Hayes. Cloveland, O., dele
gates to American federation of labor;
L. C. Shepard, Grand Rapids, Mich.,
Thomas McCafferty. Colorado Springs,
Colo., and Herbert W. Cooke, Boston,
Muss., trustees of union printers'
home!
The local's vote on the "mortuary
benefit" plan has now been taken,
but the result has not been announced.
The indications are that the plan will
be adopted by the international. It pro
vides for a graduated mortuary bene
fit, based on length of membership,
and calls for a monthly assessment of
one-half of 1 per cent.
Tickets for the annual ball at Fra
ternity hall on February 23 have been
distributed, and everybody is urged to
hustle and make the sale of tickets as
large as possible, for it means a lot
for the Labor Temple.
Floyd McKinney, who has been em
ployed at the Western Newspaper
Union for several years, drew his card
a couple , of weeks ago and is now
roaming around through Colorado and
Utah in search of health. Mrs. McKin
ney and the children will remain in
Lincoln until Mr. McKinney settles
down.
AMONG THE BARBERS
The Journeyman Barbers' Interna
tional Union is up and doing these
days. At the recent International con
vention it was decided to put four
general organizers into the field, and
last wcok the head officials at Indian
apolis proceeded to carry out the man
date of the rank and file. Tho coun
try has been divided Into four districts
eastern, western, central and Cana
dian and an organizer placed in each.
In addition a general organizer has
been appointed and his duty will be to
travel everywhere and act largely in
an advisory and supervisory capacity.
The organization is showing a splen
did growth all over the country. Dur
ing lh lat two months unions have
been chartered in Anadarko, Okla.,
Columbia. Mo.; Lethbridge, Alberta;
New Rochelle, N. Y.; Charleroi, Pa.;
Mangum, Okla.; Watertown, S. D.;
Spartanburg. N. C; North Yakima,
Wash., and Hutchinson. Kan.
The Lincoln local feels compliment
ed on the selection of one of its mem
bers, R. L. McBrlde, to be president
of the Iabor Temple Association.
"Mac" will make good on the job.
The threat of a "United Barber
Shops Co." is not scaring the union
barbers to any great extent. The or
ganization is pretty strong over the
country, and the members feel that
they will be able- to handle that sort
of a game when It opens.
THE BRICKLAYERS
The Union Bricklayers and Masons
of l.laciln are going to get into .the
"social swim. A few weeks ago they
hud u lltila "Joust" among themselves,
and the occasion was so pleasant that
they determined upon another social
event, this time to include the women.
Arrangements have been made for a
social dance at the I.abor Temple next
Wednesday evening, February 16, at
which time good union music will be
provided and all who attend are as
sured of a good time. The proceeds
of tho social will be given to the Tem
ple Association. Everybody is invit
ed to attend, and 50 cents admits a
couple.
One of the big brick, jobs of the sea
son 'will be the new Y. M. C. A. build
ing. Nearly $100,000 is to be expend
ed on this building, and that means
lots of work for the building trades
men of Lincoln.
Four hundred bricklayers employed
on the Prudential Annex at Newark,
N. J., struck recently against the em
ployment of New York men on New
ark Job. The men were out a week
and then returned, the contracting
firm having surrendered.
STREET RAILWAY MEN
The Amalgamated Association - of
Street und Electric Railway Employes
of Lincoln will meet at the Temple
next Sunday evening at 8 o'clock and
. at midnight. Some matters of unusual
importance are to be discussed, and it
is hoped that every member will at
twid. The meetings of the association are
divided for the convenience of tho
members. The daylight men meet at
8 o'clock, and the night men meet at
midnight, after the close of the day's
business. This "has been found to be
most convenient and assures a larger
attendance. The benefit association
matter has not yet been fully settled,
and this will, perhaps, be further dis
cussed at Sunday's meeting.

Dan Carney of Milford, Mass., made
application for membership in the lo

$10,000. He was awarded $3. The
amount of .damage is small, but the
precedent is a bad one. The Interna
