Way ! I
We have had July Clearing Sales before many of them but the one now in progress at our
store is the "top notcher" of them all. There are two good reasons for this: First, the unusual
size of our stock, which gives great range of choice; second, the extraordinary values we are offering.
We expect this to be the banner week of the sale, and urge you to come as early as possible,
before the good things get thinned out.

politicians asking them to boost for
Lincoln and Lincoln workers by hav
ing the label on their printing. It is
surprising to see men otherwise intelli
gent opposing the label when it really
is money out of their pockets. And it
is equally surprising to know that they
have the support of people who claim
to have religion. -
The label committee called on the T.
M. C. A. management aad asked to
have the label on the printing. The
management still continues to have its
work done at the New Century, one
of the struck shops.
I hear it directly charged that the
strike-breaking pressmen, in a couple
of the shops are herded at a certain
hotel and kept liberally supplied with
liquid refreshments. A pressman im
ported from Chicago, and who happen
ed to be a union man under cover,
says that when they were hired in
Chicago by the committee Of unfair
employers from Lincoln, the employers
took them to the Saratoga hotel, gave
them theatre parties and supplied them
with plenty of firewater to drink on
the train between Chicago and Lincoln.
There were eight of these strike-breakers
in the party recruited by the Lin
coln employers.
The Journal management claims there
is no money in the state printing. But
haven 'V you heard of taking work on
the specifications at actual eost for
the purpose of getting a whack at the
"extras?" Haven't you heard some
thing of taking supreme court reports,
at cost Or less and then getting $8S,000
on very questionable proceedings in
connection with these same reports?
We are in favor of a state printing
plant wherein the state may do its
own printing. Under that arrangement '
maybe there wouldn 't be so many
blank pages in the reports printed at
so much per page.
The treasurer of the Acme Amuse
ment Co is one of the unfair employ
ers. His name is Gillespie. Not a
single one of the 50 union pressmen,
nor the members of any union press
man's family, have entered either one
of the Acme Amusement Co 's. resorts
since the strike began. That means
a good many dollars turned away from
that concern, and all because it is offi
cered in part by unfair employers.
Some men join church or lodge in
order to get business. What counts
most in helping one's fellows to earn
a decent livelihood. The strike-breakers
are getting what the strikers have
fought for and paid for. '
The ranks of the "inner circle" of
the employing printers have been brok
en. One of them signed up last week,
and another big hole will be jabbed
into the association before the week
ends. THE GRIPPER.

Hired Man of Lincoln Union Busters
Calls on the Governor.
The very interesting item of news
appeared in the Evening News of Wed
nesday, July 20:
"O. B. Clark, secretary of the busi
ness men 's league, called on Governor
Shallenbergor this afternoon to make
complaint against Deputy Labor Com
missioner Maupin. He charged the
latter with visiting garment factories
in the city with Miss Kate Hurley of
St. Louis, Mo., and of introducing her
as a temporary state factory inspector.
He claimed that she is not an inspec
tor at all, but a labor organizer. The
governor said ho would investigate the
matter and would arrange for an inter
view with Mr. Maupin."
It is truly gratifying to note that
Mr. Clark is striving earnestly to earn
the $13 a month paid him by the union
busters of Lincoln, ffhe only criticism
to be made of Secretary Clark is that
he is so careless of v his facts.
Despite Mr. Clark 's claims, Miss Hur
ley was a temporary factory inspector,
duly appointed and with the seal of
the labor bureau on her commission
She is not a labor organizer. She did
the work for which she was selected,
performed it to the entire satisfaction
of the deputy labor commissioner, made
her report and was duly relieved from
duty. That's all there is to it. Miss
Hurley is an experienced garment fac
tory employe, and her services were
secured for the reason that she was
familiar with an industry that has
reached considerable proportions In
Lincoln. She followed her instructions,
which were to say nothing about or
ganization while serving as inspector,
but to report only on the sanitary con
ditions of the factories.
! The most interesting feature of Mr,
Clark's protest is the revelation there
by that there is a "Business Men's
League" in Lincoln, that it is follow
ing up the usiral course of trying to
disrupt and destroy the trades unions,
that it is, as usual, filling to falsify
the facts if by so doing it can gain
its ends, and that the trades unions
of the city no longer have any excuse
for disbelieving the charge that there
is an organized and concerted fight
being put up against them.
Deputy Labor Commissioner Maupin
welcomes the most searching investi
gation, not only of Miss Hurley's ap
pointment as a temporary factory in
spector, but of his every act as a pub
lie official. If Mr. Clark will call in
person at the office of the labor com
missioner he will be allowed to see ev
ery item of expense, every letter writ
ten or received, every bulletin issued
and every complaint investigated with
the findings thereunto attached. Fur
thermore, Deputy Labor Commissioner
Maupin will gladly exchange a list of
the officials of every trades uuion in
Lincoln for a list of the officials of
the "Business Men's League." Fur
thermore, Mr. Maupin will agree to
give Mr. Clark a complete list of the
members of any single trades union in
Lincoln for a complete list, sworn to,
of the membership of the ' ' Business
Men 's League. "
And The Wageworket hereby puts
Mr. Clark upon the ' subscription list,
paid in advance one year, so that he
may keep in touch with the doings in
the local field of labor. The trades
unions of Lincoln have nothing to con
ceal, and the union men are willing at
all times to stand up and admit their
membership aye, even to boast of it.
How about the members of the "Busi
ness Men's League," Mr. Clark?
THE MUSICIANS.
The St. Joseph band, a union organiz
ation, would have pulled out of the
parade had that course been insisted
on, but it was not, but the St. Joseph
boys refused to enter the opera house
with the non-union bunch. An effort
was made to pull off a theatrical stunt
when ex-Viee President Fairbanks
walked out on the stage of the Boyd
theatre. President Dobbs bf the con
vention had to give tho signal three
or four times, and then the musicians
of the non-union variety from Lincoln,
sitting in the body of the house, tried
to play America. Everybody arose
and tried to sing, but the vocal effort
was a miserable failure on account of
the lack of harmony and time from the
wouldbe accompanists. Once more a
big bunch of men ostensibly boosting
Lincoln were headed by a band re
cruited from the suburbs, the tall grass
and the hedges. It was, however, much
cheaper than a Lincoln band of union
men would have been.
French, the Ad Club committeeman
appointed to secure a band is a mem
ber of the Yates-French Shoe Co., do
ing business on the north side of O
street between Twelfth and Thirteenth.

LEATHERWORKERS SETTLE.
Fined Member Pulls Out and Takes
Some "Yellows" With Him.
Eddie Walt, having violated the rules
of the Musicians' Union, of which he
was a member, was fined by the union.
Walt' immediately seceded from the
union and succeeded in carrying with
him four weak-kneed members who
were scared lest they be unable to
hold a job under any other orchestra
leader. Among these was one French.
French happened to be the Ad Club
member appointed to secure a band
for the Ad Club excursion to Omaha
last Monday. While the trouble over
that Hebron band - matter was up
French arose on the floor of the Musi
cians' Union and told about the com
ing Ad Club excursion and assured the
members that it would be a union job.
Then came the Walft seeession, and
cured the highantafnt' sz Kbgkqjwyp
French immediately got busy and
scoured the highways, byways and
hedges and picked up a non-union band.
And a great musical aggregation it was.
The Omaha Musicians' Union were
put wise to the fact that. Lincoln was
going to Omaha with a non-union band,
and as a result not a band in Omaha
would go to the depot to" welcome the
excursionists. From a musical stand
point the parade was a huge " frost. ':
"TEMPLE DIRECTORS.
First Meeting in Two Months Short
But Important In Results.
The directors of the Labor Temple
Association met , last Monday evening
for the first time since May 16. There
was a good working majority present.
Secretary Ihringer and Manager Eudy
reported that the work of getting out
a detailed report was almost completed
and would be ready by next Monday
evening. Every director will be noti
fied to be present next Monday to
listen to this report. Some good news
was conveyed by Secretary Ihringer
concerning the financial outlook.
Manager Rudy's salary was advanced
to $25 a week in recognition of efficient
services.
Secure Important Concessions and Will
Return to Work.
The Leatherworkers ' strike in Lin
coln has been settled, and while the
men did not secure all they sought,
they did secure some concessions and
will return to work under better con
ditions. The settlement was effected
last Saturday, and on Monday morning
the strike was .off. ,
Under the terms of settlement the
men get a nine-hour day without any
reduction in the wage of the time
hands, and the promise of an increase
in the piece scale inside of ninety
days. Harpham Bros, began taking on
the men Monday morning, and will
pick up a full force as rapidly as it
is possible to lay out thevwork. Dur
ing the strike a number of the men
secured work elsewhere.
The strike was stubbornly fought by
the men under the most adverse con
ditions. Their international treasury
was exhausted early in the game and
the local treasury never was in good
condition. But the men stuck almost
unanimously and were as . cheerful as
it was possible for men to be under, the
circumstances. Their sticking qualities
have been rewarded, for not only have
they secured much that they struck
for, but they have won something of a
moral' victory. The Wageworker con
gratulates both the employes and the
employers upon the settlement of the
difficulty. ,
THE PRESSMEN.
Interesting Correspondence From the
Local's Representative.
If there be those who imagine that
the ranks of the twenty-one employers
who met to decide against signing con
tracts with the pressmen is unbroken,
they should take a look at the list and
then compare it with the list of thir
teen shops signed up.
The label committee is sending out
invitations to local business men and
