Rev. Mr. Mailley of Havelock Ad
dresses Union Workers.
A week ago last Sunday evening,
Rev. Mr. Mailley, pastor of the Chris
tian church at Havelock, addressed
the union workers of that city, the
meetings being held at the church.
About 300 of Havelock's workers were
present, and they were privileged to
hear an address on the "Principles of
Unionism" that was as interesting as
it was argumentative and instructive.
"It was the best union talk ever de
livered in this city," said one of the
enthusiastic union men who heard it.
An effort will be made to have Rev.
Mr.. Mailley officiate as the speaker
at one of the series of "Temple Talks"
in Lincoln. He is a man from the
ranks of toil, and from personal exper
ience and observation 1 knows more
than the average minister of the hopes
and aspirations of the unionists of the
country. He is in full sympathy with
the principles of trades unionism, and
is ready at all times to 'speak in ad
vocacy of the great labor movement in
America. The union workers of Have
lock are to be congratulated upon hav
ing such an able champion among
them.

News Surprises Nobody But Some of
the Prohibition Leaders.
The announcement of Samuel Goni
pers, president of the American Feder
ation of Labor, is opposed to prohibi
tion seems to have been a great sur
prise to the leaders of the Anti-Saloon
League of America. This proves noth
ing save that the anti-saloon leaders
are not very well informed on other
lines than their own special work.
Every union man in the country knew
that Gompers is an anti-prohibitionist.
But in making an announcement of his
position on the. prohibition question
Gompers no more voiced the senti
ments of union men as a whole than
he would if he spoke his mind con
cerning baptism or foreordination.
President Gompers has a right to
hold his own opinions on that question
of course, but the fact remains, wheth
er President Gompers is or is not a
probationer, that during the past five
years there has been a tremendous
change of sentiment in the. ranks of
unionism on this liquor question. It is
no longer possible to get an anti-pro.
hibition resolution through a union
meeting without a fight. Some of the
foremost union workers in every to
cality are opposed to the legalized
liquor traffic. And there are union
men everywhere who, while opposed
to prohibition, are advocating total ab
stinence and opposed to legalizing the
saloon. But to be surprised at Gom
pers' announcement merely indicts
the up-to-dateness of the gentlemen In
Chicago who sought to have him make
some prohibition speeches in that city,

CIVIC PRIDE.
The unions of Cedar Rapids, la.,
have civic pride plenty of it. They
have provided the city with a public
drinking fountain that is a beauty,"an
ornament that adds much to the beau
ty of that progressive "city. The build

rest nf the unions came through. It
gave uniojiism a big boost in the
minds of the people.

THE HOOKWORM DISEASE.

Jerome Jones Says It's a Scheme to
Disguise Child Labor.
The Atlanta Journal of Labor, in
discussing the "hookworm" of that sec
tion, shows it is simply a medical term
invented by protectors of child labor
to conceal the natural effect of long
hours. Several prominent southern
trades unionists say that the "hook
worm" is another name for overwork
and that it's best cure is abolishment
ot child labor and the establishment
of a shorter work day. Editor Jones
of the Journal of Labor declares that
"hookwarm" symptoms are found in
the cotton mills of Massachusetts, as
well as the south land, and scoffs at

HOW "PROTECTION" WORKS.
But Suckers Still Bite at the Bait'of
the Tariff Grafters.
Swan Larson, a South Omaha coun
cilman, bought a Singer sewing ma
chine for his sister, while visiting In
Sweden, Europe, for 60 marks (less
than $15 our money). The machine
was made in the United States. It
would cost him $48 for the same ma
chine in Omaha. Well! Western La
borer. .
Now this same Swan Larson could
have purchased Pillsbury-Washbum
flour (non-union) for less money than
he could in the United States, and if
Swan was real thrifty and needed a
shovel to dig flshworms, he could also
have bought a shovel- made in Ohio,
cheaper than he could rght here next
door to the factory. And then if Swan
wasn't satisfied, he could have hitched
himself to a trust-made harvesting ma
chine and saved his passage money
back to the United States of North
America. Swan was a wise one, for he
showed his good sense by making Om
aha his political bailiwick. That is a
city which recognizes thrift, stamina
and meat trusts. Cincinnati Chron
icle. O, this "protecting the American
worker" is a great stunt! The editor
of The Wageworker has an open-faced
Elgin watch a present to him from
one of the biggest men in America, or
the world, for that matter. This, watch
was made at Elgin, 111., shipped to
England, purchased there by the agent
of an American independent watch
dealer, re-shipped to the United States
and entered duty free under a peculiar
clause in the tariff law, and sold at a
profit for the sum of $9. , The same
watch bought of an American dealer
would ost $21. Why? Watch trust!
The typewriting machine upon which
this tariff fact is written cost $100. It
can be bought in London, for $60, and
the firm that made it pays the freight
from New York to London, too.
The poorest paid . workers in the
United States are the textile mill op
eratives, and the highest protected in
dustry in this republic, next to the
iron industry, is that of woolen and
cotton manufactures. . ' . ,
Yet the victims of this sort of graft
are the ones who furnish the most
votes to keep it going.
