fHE WAGEWORKER.
Eatorvd u aaeond-dan matter April 2 1. '.1904, at
dt pottofltcaat Lincoln. Nab., under tha Act of
i of March 3rd. 1879.
THE LABOR INJUNCTION
The injunction issued by Judge
Hunger against the striking boil
ermakers of Lincoln calls renewed
attention to the abuse of the in
junction writ.
But what's the uset
The same sort of attention has
been called to it times without
number, and yet the workingmen
who are the victims show no
signs of resentment. They will
doubtless continue to pursue the
same old course politically that
is as sure to bring along the same
old results as the sun is to rise
and set tomorrow.
Judge Hunger is not to blame.
We are to blame. "He who would
be free must himself strike the
blow.
THE APPOINTIVE FEDERAL
JUDICIARY IS THE GREAT
EST MENACE TO LIBERTY.
Either the federal judiciary, ap
pointed for life, must be abol
ished, or liberty of thought and
action will be lost !
The fathers of the republic lit
tle dreamed of the power they
were putting into the hands of
the federal judiciary. Had they
known then what we know now,
there would be no such thing a
federal judges appointed for life,
with power to annul laws, enact
laws by judicial ruling, overrule
the constitution and violate the
bill of riohls.
And the longer we put off cor
recting the mistake the fathers
made, the harder it will be ta
make the correction.
Judue Hunger, or any other
federal judge, can be removed on
ly by death, resignation or im
peachment. And while he occu
pies the bench he can, if he to
elects, annul every law enacted
by the legislature or by congress,
deprive individuals of the consti
tutional rights, set aside the rul
ings of other courts in short, ex
ercise a more despotic power than
any czar or kaiser would dare ex
ercise. '
And we who prate so loudly of
our liberties and our willingness
to die to preserve them, stand
around like a lot of dummies and
give the vicious system the sanc
tion of our continued acquiescence.
It is any wonder that falliable
men yield to the temptation to
exercise despotic power when it
is not denied themt
We hope that federal judge
will continue to reach out and
grab authority until (we either
rise in our wrath and wipe the
whole system off the face of the
earth, or we see the folly of wast
ing time and money in the elec
tion of legislatures avid eon greases
and simply permit the federal
judges to be the whole thing.
INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION
Thee are fifty thousand people
in Lincoln who should have made
an extended study of the indus
trial exposition just closing at
the Auditorium. Many thousands
did, but more should.
It was an eye-opener as to the
rapid progress of Lincoln along
manufacturing lines. This
really a big manufacturing cen
ter, and it is growing as such with
wonderful rapidity.
But it would grow even faster
if Lincoln people would cultivate
the habit of buying home pro
ducts whenever possible. Ever
pound of flour consumed in Lin
coin ought to be ground in Lin
coln mills. Every cigar smoked
by Lincoln men ought to be made
in Lincln. Every Lincoln build
ing should be painted with paints
made in Lincoln. Every insur
ance policy, fire, accident and life
ought to be carried m Lincoln in
surance companies. Lincoln peo
pie should sleep on Lincoln made
mattresses, and when our loved
ones are laid away their morta
remains snouia do enclosed i?
Lincoln made caskets. The Lin
coin Bwain who takes his best
girl a box of candy .ought
make sure that the candy is
CAPITOL, REMOVAL.
All this talk about taking the
capital from Lincoln is a huge
joke. The more seriously some
people take it, the broader the
grin on the face of the Lincom-
lte.
When the state house is located
elsewhere than Lincoln, pigs will
bty-flying, the Missouri river will
be flowing up hill, babies will b-i
born with whiskers and the
Platte river navigated by 20,000-
ton battleships. He who believes
that the capital will be taken
from Lincoln because Lincoln peo
pie want a clean city while others
want the capital city to be a wide-
open town, mistakes the char
acter of Nebraska people.
Now that the capital removal
proposition has served its pur
pose of securing added notoriety
for a politician and furnishing a
topic for editorial fulminations
from pens more used to wntingj
defenses of ' personal liberty
than to editorials favoring civic
cleanliness, let us have our final
augh over the huge joke and
turn our attention to more seri
ous things.
An occasional wage increase is
announced in big type. The next
days increase of foodstuffs is not
announced at all, but the wage
earner has no difficulty in ascer
taining that his wage increase
will not begin to cover the in
creased cost of living.
If it is the business of your un
ion officials to transact the busi
ness of the union, it is your busi
ness to see to it that they attend
to their business, and to do that
you must be as active in union af
fairs as our officials ought to be.
Gee, but it 's hard to buckle
down and write brilliant editor
ials after four days of fraternal
fellowship with one s editorial
friends.
And Mr. Kirby's picture again
adorned the cover page or
'American Industries" this
month. Mr. Kirby made a speech.
The Havelock "scabs are at
perfect liberty to do a lot of
things that Havelock residents
are enjoined from doing.
The United States Postoffice
department needs copious injec
tions of business sense and. com
mon, sense. ,
The striking: boilermakers ot
Havelock have not yet been en
joined from reading The Wage-
worker.
If you think the state at largo
don't like Lincoln, just watch the
country weeklies for the next
month.
Mr. Van Cleave is dead after
years of fighting the labor unions,
The labor unions still survive.
Omaha really ought to begin
laughing about it instead of -dodg
ing and making a holler.
"If your competitor talks
about you, put him on your pay
roll."
We are advertised largely by
our fool enemies.
THE BOILERMAKERS.
Judiciously Hampered But Still Firm
In the Union Faith.
By the kindly assistance of the
courts and all kinds of money, the
Burlington has been able to make a
fairly good pretense of keeping Us
force fli the boiler shop at work. Now
that the "scabs" have the protection
of the courts from something that
never threatened them,, they are
growing awfully chesty; and are very
insulting, knowing full well that no
matter how much they may strive to
insult and abuse; the strikers cannot
resent it without being guilty of "con
tempt." It Is, perhaps, -a good thing
for the taxpayers, that no Judges have
as yet undertaken to send a man to
jail for successfully keeping his con
tempt concealed.
The company bought a hotel
in
Havelock and in this way the "scabs
have managed to And a boarding
you had better come here for your clothes; garments such as the most
critical of you all can -wear without any doubts, are what you get here.
There is a style and quality about our
L. WileS & Company's Union Made Suits
Which makes you feel at ease when wearing them, and no
matter what your taste may be, we can satisfy you perfectly from this great
line of Spring Suits. If you are interested in what you get for your money
you had better see them. , ' .
In our four strongest lines at $10, $15, $20 and $25, you get popu
lar priced suits, but they are in the exclusive class if compared with
others. The very best Cloths are here for you, priced from $27.50
to $40. You can't buy better clothes; no matter how much you
pay. Come and see them.

sleeping cars and dining cars have
been removed, but the Greeks and

500 "boilermakers" to take the places

TWO BEERS, EIGHT HOURS.
A Little Wage Agreement That May
Contain a Moral.
The employers of brewery workers
in Washington, D. C, have made a
concession to their employees in the
matters of hours of labor. They have
granted an eight-hour day. In return
the employees have made a conces
sion. They have agreed to take not
more than two drinks of eer during
the eight hours.
No wave of temperance reform on
the part of the brewery management,
however, is responsible, but a wish
to get a full measure of work out ot
the employees. Before and after
working , hours it is agreed the em
ployees can drink all ttitfe beer they
want.
THE BARBERS.
Making Little Noise But Getting to
the Front With Organiatlon.
The Journeyman Barbers' Union of
Lincoln is not much given to tooting
its own horn, but when it comes to
quiet, but effective work along the
lnes of organiatlon it is willing 10
have its results compared with those
achieved by any other organization.
On the first of the present month Sec
retary Robertson hung up shop cards
in five new shops that had signed
up with the local. At The 'same time
he added fourteen new names to tac
muster roll of the organization. Nor
is the work being allowed to la,
Some more shop cards will be hung
inside of the next couple of weeks,
and eight or ten more names added
to the membership rolls.
Every year the barbers lock the
doors and hSve a "sneak day" all their
own. Their wives load up baskets
with good stuff, and the employers
are invited to go along. Then ... the
"whole boilin' of 'em" hie away to
some grassy and wooded vale and
spend the day right. ., It is getting
along toward that time of the year
when the barbers begin thinking
about their holiday, and the indica
tions are that it will arrive inside of
the next thirty days. '
SMILES AND KIND WORDS.
"A smile can do wonders, and a
kind word can do wonders. Two
smiles can do more than one, and
two kind words can do more than
one kind word. It comes down to
a simple problem of arithmetic. If
one smile and one kind word may
serve to make one tired heart hap
py, how many tired hearts can a
dozen smiles and a dozen kind
words make happy ? The problem
is simple. Don't be stingy with
your smiles and your kind words."
