It is insurance against sweat shop and tenement goods, and against disease. . . . oo Branch of Omaha Local Wilt Be Formed in This City. Owing to peculiar circumstances sur rounding the trade in this vicinity the Structural Ironworkers have .decided to form a branch of the Omaha local here instead of 'instituting a separate local. The reasons for this action are so plain to the men themselves that no difference of opinion exists. A number of members of the craft who have not heretofore been members of the organization have been taken in. There are two big structural iron jobs now under way in Lincoln, the new viaduct and the shops at Have lock. The new stock pavilion at the fair grounds may be counted another big contract. These Jobs will afford employment to structural ironworkers for the next eight or ten months. F. K. Fisher, president of the Omaha local, was in Lincoln last week con ferring with members of the union now employed on Lincoln and Have lock jobs. He visited the Labor Tem ple and found it difficult to frame words to express his delight. "You Lincoln unionists have got us fellows in Omaha skinned a mile on the tem ple business," he said. "It is a big thing, and it will be a great help" In the work of organization. I wish Om- ? aha had one as good."

Alpine, president of the Plumbers, Gas Fitters and Steam Fit ters International Union, doesn't waste words "when he talks. Recently he was approached by a representative of a union busting bunch and overtures made to pay him for organizing a dual union of steam fitters. "I'm not a Farley!" exclaimed Al pine. Then Alpine proceeded to make a few remarks, brief and to the point, and the representative of the union busters took a sneak. This has considerable significance, showing that the trouble between the plumbers and the steamfitters is less ening. The two organizations have had many differences in the past, but no longer will one branch cf the busi ness "scab" on the other. In many cities the craftsmen belong to the same local organization. This is the case in Lincoln. 8 wwnoKro iiumu ff I UNIONjJsKMP NEBRASKA'S SELECT HARD-WHEAT FLOUR Wilbur and DeWitt Mills THE CELEARATED LITTLE HATCHET FLOUR RYE FLOUfi A SPECIALTY 145 SOUTH 9TH, LINCOLN, NEB.

H i A Workingmen's Store Company is Now Being Formed Zo tbe TKUage Earners of Xincoln : PROFIT sharing proposition, whereby the working men can buy their mer chandise at their own store. The way prices are advancing on all lines of merchandise it is about time for the working men to have a store of their own where they can buy their goods and thereby share in the benefits of the profits. Why not become a stockholder of this company? The Samuels Clothing Co. is incorporated under the State laws of Ne braska, with an authorized Capital of Ten Thousand dollars, of which one , half is fully paid up. Vllere is our proposition. We will place on the market Five Thousand dollars of our Capital Stock to working men only, in shares of One dollar each non-assessable, and will be sold in lots of ten shares to one hundred shares to any one individual. qThis will give every stockhokleran opportunity to buy goods at their own"' store, also an opportunity to advertise their own business among their fellow workmen, which is bound largely to increase the business. qThe business will be conducted on the Co-operative plan, and merchandise will be sold to the stockholders and not charge them over and above expenses 10 per cent profit. This alone will save the working men of Lincoln and vicinity on ' some goods that they buy from 25 to 35 per cent. fl, HENRY SAMUELS, President of this Co. will personally guarantee to every Stockholder, every dollarinvestaed, together with an annual dividend of ten per cent, payable semi-annually. q I need no introduction to the working men of Lincoln, as I am no stranger, hav ing lived here for the last 18 years, and most of my time has been spent in the mercantile business. ' qThis is a proposition which ought to appeal to the intelligence of every working man. Books are now open for subscription for stock in this Company at our store, 026 P St. Subscription by mail will receive prompt attention. , - , Yours truly, HENRY SAMUELS President of Samuels Clothing Co.
