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."

President Alpine of the Plumbers
Makes a Sharp Reply.
John R. 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.

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.
