CARPENTERS & JOINERS Organizer Mtchler was In Lincoln the Tore part of the week, consulting with local leaders and helping pick up a few loose ends from the recent revival. He expressed himself as de lighted with the results achieved. On March 7 the supreme court dis missed the appeal of the Brotherhood of Carpenters from the order of the federal court at St. Louis enjoining the organization from boycotting the Fox Bros.' Manufacturing company. The ground for this action was that the Brotherhood had not raised a federal question In the case within the time required by the rules of practice, and, therefore, It had no standing before the court. The mer its of the case were not considered. The Fox company operated a big sash and blind factory that was run as an "open shop," and the boycott grew out of concerted movement to union ize It. The carpenters attempted to bring the company to terms by de clining to work on any buildings in which its product was used. The court at St. Louis enjoined the union men from carrying on the boycott on the mill and declaring Us product un fair to labor. According to statistics recently made public by the United States de partment of commerce and labor, the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join ers has had the greatest Increase In membership of all labor organizations during the past three years, and dur ing the same period the International Typographical Union has secured the greatest reduction In the hours of labor. The International Association of Machinists has had the 'greater number of strikes and has won a larger percentage of contests than any other national union, THE UNION MUSICIANS There has been organized in Colo rado Springs a dual organization to the American Federation of Musicians. The new organization is the Musi cians' Union of North America, No. 38. They have applied to the State Federation of Labor for a charter and have been refused on account of be ing a dual organization and not af filiated with the American Federation of Labor. This outfit is a part of the move ment that had its Inception among disgruntled Texas musicians about a year ago. The men who started it posed as gentlemen who were a little better than the rank and file of the regular organization, therefore too good to mix socially or professionally with the "common herd." The Colo rado Springs case Is the first of the kind that has bobbed up in the west, and only one of a half-dozen that has showed Its head anywhere.- The num ber, "38," Is a joke. If you were to multiply the actual number by three you wouldn't have half of thirty-eight. Hear John B. Lennon at the Audi torium Sunday night. Band concert before the speaking. CENTRAL LABOR UNION The Central Labor Union will meet next Friday night, and as it is the first meeting in three weeks, a lot of Important business will come up. Election excitement will be over by that time. The matter of dues to the central body will be threshed out and settled for good and all maybe. The Labor Chautauqua committee is going to have something to report at this meeting, and if nothing happens to prevent, the committee will divide up a lot of preliminary work among the delegates. It is possible that a re cent decision to "withdraw patron age" will be taken up and given an other airing. It may be, too, that there will be something doing in the line of talking about the Electrical "Workers and their present relations or lack of re lations with the central body. But, at any rate, the meeting will be im portant and full of interest, and every delegate should make it a point to be present. TYPOGRAPHICAL TIPS Hear John B. Lennon at the Audi torium Sunday night. Band concert before the speaking. Lincoln Typographical Union met Sunday afternoon and hastened through the usual routine business. The attendance was less than usual, owing to the fact that many of the members attended the Darrow meet ing at the Auditorium. Three new members were obligated and three ap plications laid over until the next meeting. With their usual loyalty the printers renewed their subscrip tion to The Wageworker for the twem ty-fifth consecutive quarter. It would be worth while if every union in Lin could and Havelock were as earnest in the support of a local labor paper as the big bunch of "prints" who work under the charter of No. 209. There may be bigger locals of printermen, but this little labor paper is willing to bet its column rules and electrotyped head that no better bunch, or more loyal bunch ever builded "ads" or manipulated Merg keyboards. - Born, to Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Maupin, April 5, a daughter. Everybody hap py. The Wageworker printery is at 1705 O street. Unionists cordially invited to visit and inspect one of the neat est newspaper and job shops in the west. The chief mogul of this department, who carries an I. T. U. working card, is in receipt of considerable campaign material from Mr. Reilley's campaign committee. For reasons before men tioned the aforesaid campaign commit tee would save money by removing The Wageworker from its mailing list If the writer votes for president next month his "X" will not be opposite the name of Mr. Reilley. The label committee of the Allied Trades is not meeting with the en couragement it had a right to expect in Its "sticker" contest. The prizes offered for the return of the largest number of printed pieces minus the "little joker" are not valuable in a money' sense, but they are worth striv ing for. And at any rate the union printers, pressmen, bookbinders and stereotypers ought to be zealous enough, to put the "sticker" on with out the incentive of a prize. Hand in all the non-labeled printing you run across to Manager Rudy at the Labor Temple, and he will turn it over to the committee. Farmers Merchants Bank G. W. MONTGOMERY. President, -:- -:- H. C.

Concerning book-loving girls he wrote: "She that loveth m book will never want a faithful friend, a whole some counsellor, a cheerful companion, aa effectual comforter. By study, by reading, by thinking, one may inno cently divert and pleasantly entertain oneself, as in all weathers, so in nil fortunes." Home Notes. Up and Down. At Bristol, Eng., a lad of 14 yearn old climbed a factory chimney ISO feet high to show how smart he was. Then about a dozen men worked for three hours to get him down and show how smart they were.
