Have Well Grounded Grievance
Against Beach and Ball Man
agement. The Carpenters and Joiners have a
grievance against the management of
Capital Beach and the Lincoln Base
Ball Club, and judging by the temper
of the members of No. 1055 there will
be no backtracking because a lot of
the carpenters think more of attend
ing a ball game now and then than
they do of standing' up for organized
labor. ,
Last Saturday evening, after prom
ising to discharge three non-union car
penters, including a foreman, the
Beach management faced about, gave
the union carpenters their time and
said they would be sent for later if
needed. Sunday morning work was
resumed on the Beach gates and the
base ball stands by a force of non
union carpenters. This was in open
violation of an implied agreement and
amounted virtually to a lock out of
the union men. The Carpenters are
not going to let it go at that, how
ever. It so happens that this matter
of discriminating is a game that two
can play at. Not only is their state
law against manual labor on Sunday,
but there is a law against such sports
as playing base ball on Sunday, and
unless the management of the Beach
and the ball club get straight there
is a possibility of a few arrests for
Sunday labor and a sudden stoppage
of Sunday base ball.
"We'll not back up on this matter,"
said a member of the tirpenters' com
mittee yesterday. "We are going to
see it through. We want it understood
that No. 1055 is a militant organiza
tion now, and when any of its mem
bers are discriminated against we
are going to make their cause the
cause of the organization. If Capital
Beach and the Antelope management
want a fight with No. 1055 they'll -got
it in short order, and don't you for
get it. We think more of our organ
ization than we do of watching a base
ball game or listening to tne yawp
of a lot of spielers."
In Denver 410 mill and fixture mm
are on strike for a 10 per cent in
crease in wages.
President William D. Huber, of tns
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, says that at the rate the o
ganization is growing at present he
expects the paid-up membership to
pass the 200,000 mark by June 30.
The United Brotherhood of Carpcn
ters and Joiners, the second largst

has sent a letter to its various locals
announcing that the twenty-ninth an
niversary of its institution will' occur
in August. The letter announces that
each local is expected to observe the
event.

his work to address the central body.
This he did, and made a short address
that was listened to with interest and
profit.
ljr. Aylesworth demonstrated early
in his talk that he was in hearty sym
pathy with the aims of organized la
bor, and stated in emphatic terms his
belief that during the last quarter of
century all that has stood between
the republic and despotism was the
rank and file of organized workers.
His severe criticism of President Taft
was tempered somewhat by the speak
ers' acknowledgement that he had
voted for Taft, but he insisted that
this fact gave him the right to speak
in criticism. He said that Taft's for
ty-ninth mistake in fifteen months was
made when be intimated that if wom
en were given the ballot only undesir
able women would vote. He was gra
tified that there were some good wom
en brave enough to hiss the remark.
Dr. Aylesworth related some of his
experiences while fighting with, the
striking shirtwaist makers in New
York last winter, and he used them
as arguments in favor of equal suf
frage. Women who are compelled to
enter the industrial field are entitled
to the ballot that they may safeguard
their labor. His expose of rotten
ness and corruption in Denver was
interesting in the extreme, and be
paid organized labor a tribute for the
way it backed up the efforts of Judge
Ben Lindsay to purge Denver and
Colorado of political corruption. The
speaker's argument in favor of equal
suffrage was convincing, but the ar
gument was scarcely needed, as or
ganized labor is on record as favoring
it.
The Labor Chautauqua committee
reported what it had done, but insist
ed that the committee had gone as
far as it could until the- workers
showed their willingness to help along
by putting up their good money.
Other committees reported, and the
decision of the state railway commie
sion iu t7ie Traction Co. case was dis
cussed and "cussed" at some lengtu.
A committee was appointed to assist
the street railway men in their ef
forts to organize. ' '

Putting Up Splendid Campaign for the
Allied Printing Trades Label.
Just now the Pressmen are bear
ing the brunt of the fight for the al
lied printing trades label, and they
are doing it with success. The com
mittee in charge loses sleep when
ever necessary to get in a boost, and
the result of its work is being felt in
all directions. The scheme to drive
the label out of Lincoln has been
pretty eeffctually blocked but' the
Pressmen are entitled to a lot more
help than they are getting.
While it is true that four of the
big shops, North, Woodruff-Collins,
State Journal 'and McCartney, con
tinue unfair, it is equally true that
the Pressmen are faring well. De
spite the lockout the local has more
men working under fair conditions
than ever before, and the membersnip
has increased. This speaks in splen
did terms of the fighting qualities of
the Pressmen.
It was in no wise the fault of the
Pressmen that the fiasco concerning
the baseball score cards was pulled
off. The Pressmen were ready to stand
pat, but their natural allies ba"k-

Now Reads His Title Clear After Year
of Faithful Service.
Last Wednesday the excise board
conferred upon James Malone the ti
tle of chief of police. For a year Ma
lone has been acting chief, and in
recognition of faithful and efficient
service he was given the position iu
fact as well as in name.
In making the appointment the ex
cise board was unanimous, and it paid
a deserved tribute to a most efficient
officer. It is no reflection upon other
good police chiefs to say that Chief
Malone has made the best police head
the city has ever had. Under his man
agement the force is better disciplined
the city is better policed, the public
more courteously treated and public
order maintained in a greater degree
than ever before. The Wageworker
congratulates the mayor and oth r
members of the excise board upon
their action and Chief Malone upon
his deserved promotion.
