WHAT UNION MEN SAY
(Continued from page 1.)
1 know lots of "good fellows" who
used to get 'home late Saturday nights
with mighty little of their pay checks
left, but who get home early on Sat
urdays now, and the whole pay check
goes with them. They are better off
without the temptation of the open
aloon, and their families are better
provided for. Our Labor Temple pro
vides a better recreation place for the
workers than the open saloon, and I
want the good people of Lincoln to
help us keep it going along the same
high plane "pon which we started it.
For the good of Lincoln, for the bene
fit ot myself and my fellow workers,
and for the benefit of the wives and
children, I am going to vote "dry"
and I am ready to say so anywhere at
any time. O. M. RUDY,
Electrical Worker.
Lincoln, Nebr.. April 6. You will
see my vote recorded on the "dry
side. I could give a lot of reasons
why. One. is enough for me my own
boy. I'm not going to make it possible
to say some time in the future,
helped him along the downward path
by voting to put daily temptation in
his way." Could I give a better rea
son for being against the open saloon?

thing, but like the proverbial rope
given enough and too many of us hang
ourselves.
HORACE IVEY,
Printer.
Lincoln, Nebr., April 4. My reasons
for voting against licensing saloons in
Lincoln are many, and to my mind
conclusive. My chief reason is my be
lief that the saloon is a detriment to
society, and especially to workingmen.
E. L. GRUBB,
Street Railway Employe.
Lincoln, Neb., April 5. My first
vote will be against the saloons. The
fact that it Is my first vote is reason
enough.
E. M. RIGHTER,
Printer.
Hear John B. Lennon at the Audi
torium Sunday night. Band concert
before the speaking.
Liacola, Nebr., April 7. I shall vote
"dry" for two reasons. First, because
there are 'two sides to the question
the salooa side and the antt-Salooa
side. I believe that those who vote
for the licensing of saloons become
partners and are responsible for all
the evils eminatlng from the saloons.
Second, I am a laboring man and I be
lieve that the condition of such as I
Is materially bettered, financially,
physically and morally, by the ab
sence of saloons. ' I am in a position
to know this last to be a fact. There
' are . many other reasons, but these
ought to be sufficient to cause any
union man to vote "dry."
FRED W. MICKEL,
Printer.
Lincoln, Nebr., April 5. After can
did and careful consideration I can
not see any plausible excuse for the
existence of the saloon. On the
other hand the reasons for abolishing
" the liquor traffic are too numerous to
mention. Personal liberty is a good
CAPITAL AUXILIARY.
The last regular meeting of Capital
Auxiliary was held March 25 at the
Labor Temple, Mrs. B. C. Gilbert

Mrs. Pearl Ford , was given the
membership pledge and Mrs. W. P.
Hogard'8 application was balloted
upon, she being unanimously elected
to membership.
Mrs. C. E. Barngrover has re-
turned to her home in Denver, after
spending some time visiting relatives
and friends in Lincoln. While here
she asked for a transfer card from
No. 11 to become a member of the
Denver Auxiliary.
Mrs. O. F. Young expects to leave
for Springfield, Mo., in about a month,
where Mr. Young is now working with
his father in the printing business.
The next regular meeting will be
held at the Labor Temple, Wednes

Union barbers in Toledo, Ohio, have
pushed their living standard up an
other notch without injuring their
union or losing a member because of
strike. After several hours' discus
sion last week the journeymen bar
bers and employers agreed to the (fol
lowing wage scale. Twelve dollars a
week and 50 per cent on all over $18
per chair. If a journeyman shall lay
off any part of the week, but shall
take in the limit of $18, he shall be
entitled to full wages.
Some time ago The Wageworker
stated tfcat under the new agreement
with the boss barbers the shops would
close at 10:30 Saturday evenings. The
editor has been forced to apologize
and explain about 'steen times for
the inexcusable error. And the bar
bers have a right to resent the mis
statement. After getting thirty min
utes lopped off of Saturday's work,
they have a kick coming when the
fact is not made known. The real
truth is and all the world should
know it that the union barber shops
of Lincoln, and all the good shops
are union, will close at 10 o'clock
every Saturday night. The Wage
worker apologizes for its error; apol
ogizes humbly. At 10 o'clock Satur
day night, mind ye!
Colonel Wood umpired the Antelope-White
Sox game last Wednesday,
and they do say he showed his teeth
to the Sox every time they questioned
one of his righteous decisions and
they were all righteous. We'll bet a
four dollar dog against a couple of
two-dollar cats that we can find a
score of union barbers in Lincoln
who can umpire as well as about half
the professional iimps that come this
way.

"And can't he act at all?" demanded

"If you wuz to find one hundred

Russian Use of Tobacoo.
The tobacco used In the maa
facture of cigars in Russia is partly
grown in the country from Americas
seeds, but the best cigars and the
wrappers of the Inferior grades are
made from tobacco imported, in the

Cuba. The bulk of the home tobacco
is produced In the governments of
Chernigov and Samara.

Costly Make-Believe.
A West side mother has a little
daughter who remembers the lessons
the daisies taught her last summer.
Not long ago the parent heard a little
voice in the next room saying softly,
"Rlchman, poorman, beggarman,
thief!" After a while she looked in
and there stood the child plucking the
last cherished leaves from the rubber
plant as she crooned her little fortune
song. New York Sun.
How He Was to Be Captured.
"When you go in to capture that
bandit," said the chief to his officers,
"you are to do so with laughter and
Jollity, for I have been told that we
carinottakehlm seriously." '
How Vice Works.
Before vice can fasten on a man,
body, mind or moral nature must be
debilitated. The mosses and fungi
gather on sickly trees, not thriving
ones; and the odious parasites which
fasten on the human frame choose
that which is already enfeebled.

A model electric engine, built by
