Ways by Which General Cleaning Time May Be Made Less Strenu ous Rugs to Replace Carpets Cleaning the Piano. . The woman who lives in an old. house is the best witness to tell of the hard work necessary to keep it in order, says a writer in the Woman's National Daily. The hardest task comes with the house-cleaning season and Its attendant moving of furniture and lifting of carpets. Discard car pets which must be tacked. Paint the floor, stain and varnish the edges and cover the center with rugs. Old floors may be treated with "fillers" before paint and varnish are applied. The process Is somewhat expensive, but economical In the long run. It saves labor in years to come. Women know how difficult it is to thoroughly sweep a large carpet. This tedious task is eliminated to a great extent in the cities, but many town and coun try houses have floors covered with velvet or wool carpets. These cannot be cleaned with a broom. A renovator recently removed seven pounds of dirt from a Wilton velvet carpet which had not been taken up for many years because it was too heavy to lift. The crusade against dirt and dust will never be successful until the old floors are displaced by modern ones. It Is work which members of the household may do at odd times. Wash . marks from the piano with soap and water, the same as from any other piece of furniture. Rub it dry with a soft cotton cloth and dress with furniture polish. Apply the polish sparingly and rub thoroughly. Clean only a part of the surface at a time and be sure to do the work thorough ly. Otherwise the wood will show streaks. Embossed leather may be cleaned with turpentine and polished with soft cheesecloth. Grease rubbed on the cork of a mu cilage bottle will prevent it sticking. Take out the bottom drawer of a bureau to clean under it. THE LEATHERWORKERS Old-Fashioned Boiled Dinner. Procure an aitch-bone or brisket of corned beef; put into the pot over a brisk fire with enough cold water to cover it; let it come to a boil in one half an hour, then remove the scum, set the pot back on the Are and boil slowly until tender. About three-quarters of an-hour before dishing, skim the liquor free from fat; put a portion of It into another kettle with one cabbage cleaned and cut in four quar ters, one-half dozen peeled white turnips of medium size, cut In halves, and four scraped carrots and the same number of scraped parsnips each cut in four pieces; boil till tender. Into the kettle containing the meat, one half hour before serving, pour mora boiling water and put in meditim slxed peeled potatoes. Serve all to gether, meat and vegetables, from one dish. Bailed beets, cooked separately, sliced hot, with vinegar over them, should also be served as a side dish. Cooking the cabbage in another dish prevent! the meat from tasting of this vegetable when cold. Xoxt Monday the Brotherhood of Leatherworkers on Horse Goods will inaugurate their strike for tile eight hour day- They are asking that the time hands be granted the eight-hour day without any reduction of pay, and that the piece workers be granted an increase of 15 per cent. The employ ers have a union of their own, which they call an association, aud this as sociation has recently decided to re fuse the. demands for a decrease in hours and Increase in the piece scale. Negotiations have been pending in Lincoln for some time, but no set tlement has been leached and there now seems nothing but a strike. There are two large employing lirms in Lincoln, Harpham Bros, and the, Buckstaff company. A majority of the local's members are employed at the Harpham shop. The Leather workers' struck for an increase and recognition about two years ago, but lost the strike. Some concessions were made, notably that one recogniz ing the shop grievance committee, but recognition of the union as such was denied. As a result the men went back to work under open shop condi tions. Harpham Bros, are credited with saying that manufacturing is but a small part of their business, and that if the men walk out they will simply lose down their manufacturing de oartment and keep it closed down. his is not taken very seriously by the employes, however. About sixty men are involved in tjie struggle m Lincoln, and perhaps twice as many more in Omaha. There are a few in Fremont and a few in Hastings. Nothing has been heard from Fre mont and Hastings, but it is an as sured thing that the union men. in those towns will walk out. The Inter national has been preparing for the struggle during the past eighteen months, and there is a goodly fighting fund on hand. Work has been only fairly good dur ing the last few months, and would have been much worse had not the I manufacturers sought to a consider ! able extent to get a stock on hand before the walk-out. "We hear a lot from our employers about their wanting to 'run their own business' without union interference," CAPITAL AUXILIARY remarked a Leatkerworker the other day, "but I notice that the employers who are so intent on running their own business in their otvn way go all the ;waj- to Chicago to -be told how to manage it. I can't see the differ ence between a union sending for a business agent to manage its affairs and an employer going to Chicago to let a man tell him how to manage his affairs. But, then, I'm only a com mon mechanic, and I'm not supposed to know a whole lot about the subtle ties of the English language." The local's committee has not yet given lip all hopes of reaching an agreement with the employers, but the hope is a remote one at. best. The employers are banking . on the fact that less than 50 per cent of the men working at the trade are organized. That's what the employing printers hanked on when the printers inaug urated their eight-hour fight. The employing printers will not make that mistake again. Capital Auxiliary met March 9th at the Labor Temple, Mrs. C. E. Barn grover of Denver, who is visiitng i"n the city, being the hostess. The application of Mrs. Pearl Ford was voted upon and she was unani mously elected to membership. Mrs. James Kincaid of Sioux City, Iowa, a member of this auxiliary, is visiting in the city. The. members of Capital Auxiliary are endeavoring to call upon all pat ties eligible to membership, .but- in case any are overlooked, we trust you will understand it is not because you are not wanted. We will be only too glad to mail application ' blanks to any one writing the Secretary, care Labor Temple, or by phoning to 6243. All wives, mothers, unmarried sisters and daughters over sixteen years of age and widows of members of No. 209 are eligible to membership. Mrs. Will Bustard has moved into a large flat in the Salisbury, they having taken Flat H.' Mrs.. FretT Ihringer held the lucky number that drew , the jewel box which was raffled at the Labor Tem ple. The next regular meeting will be held1 Wednesday, March 23d. at toe Labor Temple. Mrs. B. C. Gilbert t hostess. The meeting is called for 2:30 p. m. THE TEAMSTERS. The Teamsters have caught the re vival spirit that has been manifest since the opening of the Labor Tem ple, and are going to get busy and keep busy until they have at least a 90 per cent organization. They held an open meeting at the Temple on Friday evening of last week, and a large number of non-union teamsters were present. Rev. Mr. Zenor spoke on the "Cost of Living and Need of Organization,' and interested the large number of men present. The Teamsters have about 150 members at present, representing perhaps 50 per cent of the men engaged in that class of work. At present they have no wage scale and no agreements, but just as soon as the plans for re-organization go through the work of mak ing a wage scale and securing agree ments will be taken up. Committees are now at work among the non-union teamsters with a view to securing new members and working up union sentiment in the ranks of the team drivers. The work will be kept going at a lively rate until things are as they should be in Lincoln. Another open meeting is being arranged for in the near future. ANNIVERSARIES. Welcome Exchanges Celebrate Birth days Amidst Prosperous Times. Last week seems to have been a sort of "anniversary week" among the labor newspapers of the country. The Worcester, Mass., Labor News cele brated its fourth birthday, and it showed up strong and hearty. The Labor News is a hummer with horns and a seven-times winner, and is as welcome to The Wageworker ex change table as the flowers in spring. Here's hoping it will celebrate a hun dred more amidst increasingly pros perous conditions, and that The Wage worker will he here to make note of every one of the hundred. Last week the Jackson, Mich., Square Deal entered upon its fourth year, and if we read the signs aright it is enjoying prosperity, just as it well deserves. Editor Henley gets out a crackerjack labor paper, and he han- aies cne laDor news without tear or favor. Here's hoping the Square Deal's future will, be as prosperous as prosperous can be, The Sailors' Union of the Pacific Coast was twenty-five years old last week, and the Coast Seaman's Journal of Sau Francisco celebrated the an niversary by issuing a handsome sou venir edition. The Coast Seaman's Journal is one of the greatest labor organs in the world, and it wields a powerful influence in the ranks of or ganized labor. Edited with ability, dealing with labor problems conserva tive!' but energetically, it is looked upon by men of affairs as a journal worth reading and considering. We'd feel awfully lonesome without the. Journal to nore over an hour or twr every week. Speaking of anniversaries, this issue closes the sixth year of The Wage worker six '.'years full of joy, some times tempered with anxiety about the expense bills, but always getting away with it somehow or other. We'll tell you more about it next week. Boy Wants Pardon. Governor Shallenberger has received an application from Walter Berger, the seventeen-year-old boy of Dawes county, who is serving a two years' term in the penitentiary for placing an obstruction on the Burlington track. The boy alleges that he shot his finger off while hunting and de siring to get to town for treatment, placed a tie on the track and lighted a torch and flagged a ' train. Chief of Police Charles F. Daryan of Chad ron has recommended a pardon and says in his statement that he is fifty four years of age and has never be fore signed a similar request though often asked to do so. '' ' Woman to Get Diploma. The Lincoln medical college , must issue a diploma to. Ella. May Nelson according to a ruling of " the shpreme court in a suit that has been in the courts for some years. ; The court formerly ordered a diploma to be is sued, but later the medical college al leged that it had newly discovered evidence of fraud on the part of the applicant. The district court refused to take jurisdiction and reopen the case; the petition failing to set forth that the facts were not discovered within two years after judgment. The supreme court affirmed this judgment. Ironed Clothes. Stretch a wire line across your clothes closets and across your kitchen; purchase a lot of coat hang ers. On ironing day put the baby's freshly ironed petticoats on a coat hanger and a dress the same length over it and hang on the wire. In ironing grown folks' clothes do the sume way, and push them along the wire out of your way. When through ironing remove and hang in your closets on the wire, which is a space saver and prevents rumpling, and yet you have a complete suit without hunt ing out the two garments. It also saves iany handlings of the clothes. Read Over Every Item and compare the prices with those of any other store in town.
