Special Correspondent on the Train.
Superior, Nebr., June 22. (From
Our Own Correspondent on Board the
Trade Extension Special.) We hare
been having a great time on this trip.
One of the great pleasures of the
tour is to hear the favorable comment
passed by the people we meet -on our
splendid band.
"I'm going to give more of my
patronage to Lincoln Jobbers," said
a Bennett merchant, "in the hope that
they will have money enough, next
time to do a little better boosting for
their own town by employing a Lin
coln band."
Then the lit Die country band in the
front sleeper played "Nobody Knows
Kow Dry I Am."
At Nebraska City we were ottered
a purse by oyiapaihiziu-r citizens who
expressed -tsgnt that the Lincoln
Jobbers and manufacturers have
been having such bad business luck
of late that they couldn't afford to
patronize Lincoln -musicians, but had
to go out into the hazel brush and
employ a cheap band willing to go
along for '30 cents per man per day.
and traveling expenses. "We feel
that you are entitled to some help
from us," said the Nebraska City man
as he tendered a purse containing
$1.57 to the excursion committee.
"How dry I am," wailed the eb cor
net and the aftto horns.
"I thought Lincoln had a couple of
good bands," remarked a Falls City
man as the train slowed up at the
Burlington depot and the Hebron band
debarked and proceeded to play its
other tune. "Why bring along a
band from the tall and uncut?"
.The manager of the excursion start
ed to say something about 'reclpro
trade excursions,' but the Falls City
business man winked his: other eye
and muttered something about "cheap
ones." Lincoln is receiving a lot of
publicity by reason of its "boosters"
coming along with a country band in
stead of a Lincoln organization. Due
note should be taken of the difference
between "publicity" and advertising."
As the special train pulled out of Falls
City the band struck up "Nobody
Knows How Dry I am."

BOOSTERS
The excursionists reached Superior
in a happy frame of mind. The
train was a little late and the dark
ness prevent the people from noting
that the band carried by Lincoln
"boosters" wasn't a Lincoln organiza
tion. If the bandmaster hadn't made
the mistake of striking up a tune we
might have managed to get out of
town without the real facts becoming
known. But with rare humor the
bandmaster gave the signal and the
Hebron organization broke out . into
the familiar strains of "Nobody
knows how .dry I am."
"How does it happen that we see
a bunch of Lincoln boosters coming
to town with a band from another
city?" asked a Superior business man
who really means it when he talks
about standing up for Superior.
"Well, you Bee," replied our excur
sion manager, "this is a reciprocal
trade excursion, and we deemed it
"Yes, cheaper to holler 'stand up
for Lincoln' and then hire a cheap
country band than it is to practice
what you preach," dryly observed the
wise Superiorite.
After playing "Nobody knows how
dry I am" the band went to bed.
So far the excursion has been
howling success first because of its
cheapness, and, second, because every
time the Hebron band plays "Nobody
knows how dry I am" we manage to
forget all our other miseries. .
Lincoln is receiving some publicity
through this excursion. The Jobbers
,and ' manufacturers who come . along
to holler for Lincoln and show their
pride in home institutions by employ
ing a cheap country band because of
its cheapness have no reason to kick
on the publicity their action has se
cured for1 them.
I am compelled to close this letter
at this point. All the rest of the ex
cursionists are asleep and I could go
into the details of the trip at greater
length were it not for the fact tht.t
the tuba player is snoring "Nobody
knows how dry I am," and it gets on
my nerves.

sold Franklin Heights on our easy payment plan. We told the people that Franklin
.Heights was located right. We moderized it, fixed it so it was an inducement for peo

without any effort but by simply having faith and patience and a little nerve. If you

factory was closed against them, and
one employe there said: "We don't
dare even whisper unionist around
here." . This is the factory that wa3
dedicated with prayer and which the
week following its dedication gave one
of its girls a check for $2.42 for fifty
nine hours' work. ..
But the organizers were given en
trance to the Inter-Ocean and the
Herman. Bros, factories, and there
they seized their opportunities. A
meeting was held at the Labor Tem
ple last Tuesday night and the ' work
of organization started off. Naturally
enough the young women were very
timid, and it was deemed best to let
the men take the lead in the work.
Ten male garment workers signed up
and a meeting will be held in afew
days for the purpose of temporarily
organizing and applying for a char
ter. When the charter arrives the
work of getting the young women in
to line will be taken up and pushed
fwith vigor. ' . i .-. .', .
The Inter-Ocean management seems
more than wiping to have that fac
tory organized. The manager in
charge readily admitted that the lab
el would be a good asset for the firm,
and he declared that not only would
he not object to organization, but
would rather encourage it.
At Tuesday night's meeting Chap
lain Mailley spoke briefly ' in his
characteristic vein and urged the
young , women to organize for their
own protection and benefit. Misaes
Sellin and Hurley also spoke of the
advantages of organization. Follow
ing the addresses dancing was m
, drt ged in for an hour and refresh
ments were served. 'Several of the
young ladies present readily agreed
to come into the union as soon as
it was started.
Because of her factory experience
Miss Hurley was given a temporary
commission as factory inspector by
Deputy Labor Commissioner Maupln,
and she made report upon the factor
ies in Lincoln. It is with pleasure that
The Wageworkerv reports that Miss
Hurley found all three of the gar-
men factories in splendid sanitary
condition. "All of them are superior
in every way to the average factory,
and I doubt if better lighted' and bel
ter garment factories can be found
anywhere in the country." Miss Hur
ley also made an exceedingly favor
able report on the condition of the
GiUen .& Boney' candy factory, say-
ing it was the cleanest, neatest, and
most sanitary candy factory she had,
ever visited. ,.'
The condition of the laundries in -the
city is not so good, but this is
due in large - measure to, the . char
acter of the work. The ventilation
is not what it should be, and the work
is unusually hard at this season of
the year. . The laundry manage
ments, however, seemed to be trying
hard to make -the conditiens as good
as possible under all tae circum
stances. "I think the working girls
of Lincoln are unusually fortunate in -the
shop conditions surrounding ,
them," said Miss ' Hurley, "but I can
not say that their " wage . conditions
are anywhere near right. Girls who
stand on their feet ten hours a day
in a hot, smelly laundry, are entitled
to a better average of wage than ten
cents an hour. And the garment
workers are not receiving anywhere -near
the scale adopted in other cities
of similar size - where ; the. garment
workers are organized anc nave some
say in the fixing of the wage scale."
Misses Sellins and Hurley left
Thursday for Denver where they will
resume their work in the interests of
the locked-out garment workers . in
St. Louis. They will report to their
international officials and urge that
a regular organizer of the Garment
Workers' International be sent to Lin
coln without; delay. There are per
haps 1,500 unorganized garment work
ers in Nebraska, and the field for or
ganization effort is ripe.

was with the local carpenters again ,
the first of the week, taking up the

it had some members who were, al
