things; jealousy of individuals who
dare have opinions of their own. Dif
ferences of opinion on matters wholly
apart from trades unionism are made
the basis of bitter attacks, b&ckcapping
and snarling criticism. And men who
boast of being "square men" are the
men who are quickest to try and injure
brother unionists who happen to differ
from them on some personal matters.

A 'BIT PERSONAL.
The Wageworkerr begsl pardon 'for
obtruding a little personal matter right
here, but it can not forbear expressing
its pleasure at having accumulated a
few enemies. It is really very proud
of the enemies it has made although
not quite so proud of them as of the
staunch friends it has made. Buit the
mere fact that it has made enemies
is a sign of progress, a sign that it
is really amounting to something. It
rejoices in the enmity of those narrow
souled members of unions who, having
good jobs, don 't care whether the other
fellow has anything or not. It rejoices
in the enmity of those frantic shouten-s
for "personal liberty" who would deny
every man but themselves the right to
express an 'honest opinion if thait opin
ion did not square with their own. It
rejoices in the enmity of those to whom
truth is unknown and wiho have no
regard for fairness or squareness. It
is toeing .boycotted by men who prate
loudly of free speech and free press,
and who, - while profiting from those
very things would suppress a free press
because ithey can not control its utter
ances. Or te 0P'?!i9n? of the editors
thereof, .., .
A& its list of loving enemies increases
The Wageworker 's list of loyal' friends
increases and we rejoice in the free
advertising those loving enemies are
giving, for, coming from that source,
every knock is a boost.
As in the beginning, so in closing.
The Wageworker craves pardon for ob
truding this personal note.
AN EXAMPLE OF UNIONISM.
. When Ernest Sndel, socialist, was
elected mayor of Milwaukee the capi
talistic class thought to make an ex
ample of that city. "We will," said
the capitalists, "Tefuse" to invest in
Milwaukee city bonds, and as Mil
waukee is a borrower at the present
time, we will make it so uncomfortable
for that city that no other city will
make the error of electing a socialist
to the mayoralty."
So saying the capitalists sat back
in their easy chairs and thought how
beautifully they wre going to put the
Bcrews to. Milwaukee.
But they didn't reckon with the
host. True that Milwaukee is a bor
rower of money. But when the capi
talists sought to punish Milwaukee for
having elected an enemy of the capital
istic system they forgot that there
were a lot of trades unionists who
had some money. The Bakers and Con
fectioners' International Union has
something like a quainter of a million
dollars in its strongbox. "We'll loan
Soidel's . city our .money," said .the
members of that big union. The
Brewery Workers ' Union lias something
like a half million dollars in its treas
ury. "We'll loan Seidel's city our
money," said that big union. Other
unions said the same thing, and the
first thing irhe capitalists knew they
were losing a chance .to make profitable
investments in Milwaukee bonds. Then
they woke up.
The unions will not be called upon
to sell their securities for the purpose
of .helping the socialists administration
of Milwaukee out of a financial hole,
ifor the capitalists are now not only
willing, but eager, to loan money on
Milwaukee bonds.
In an Ohio city recently the manager
of a big corporation, who was also
president of a big bank, became em
broiled with 'his employes. They asked
for recognition of their union and an
increase in wage. The haughty em
ployer would not listen to them, but
on the comtrary imported "scabs" and
then sought the protection of .the
miliitia. The interests of the corpora
tion and the bank were closely allied,
tw trades unionists quietly began with
drawing their money from the bank.
As a result the manager of the cor
1 poration had to make terms in order
to save his bank.. Doubtless he 'has
revised his estimate of the cohesive
power of trades unionists. '
These incidents are mentioned merely
to ehow what organized labor can do
when it lays aside its petty jealousies
and prejudices and works as a unit
in the interests of the whole body of
labor. The trouble is that organized
labor does this thing too seldom. The
whole system is permeated with jeal
ousy jealousy of men who try to do
SPEAKING OF CANDIDATES.
The candidate for the legislature,
be he republican, democrat, socialist or
prohibitionist, who will not agree to
vote .for the senatorial candidate re
ceiving the highest unmber of votes
at the November election, is not fit
to be trusted. The man who will not
trust the people should not be trusted
by the people. J. R. C. Miller is one
of these. He knows better than the
people what the people want and should
have. Miller is a republican. P. F.
Zimmer, Allen McWilliams, Jerome
Shamp and W. J. Blystone, all repub
lican candidates for legislative nomina
tion, have refused to abide by the
choice of the people on the matter
of the senatorship. H. J. Lenhbff and
C. E. Groves, democrats, have refused
to give assurance that they will vote
for the people's choice for senator.
Not one of these men is entitled to
th support or the vote of any trades
unionist who 'believe in the initiative
and referendum, or who believes in
the popular election of United States
senators.
The "Oregon plan" of electing sen
ators is fair and right. The legislative
aspirant who is not willing to sign
Statement No. 1 is not entitled to the
votes of men who believe in self-gov
ernment. Mark the above named can
didates and slaughter them at the pri
maries. If they escape slaughter then,
try to get their political scalps on elec
tion day.
John E. Miller, democrat, who was
a member of the senate during the 1909
session, is now a candidate for the
house. Mr. Miller stood for the right
two years ago. He voted for the two
or three bills that organized labor stood
for. He "opposed several measurer that
were calculated to injure the cause of
labor. He has signed "Statement No.
I," and he is deserving of the support
of the union men who make partisan
ship a secondary consideration to their
unionism.
The editor of The Wageworker has
been made a member of the "Capitol
Removal Club." When the etats house
is moved this editor's bones will long
since have moldered in the dust, though
his soul may be marching on.
A few days ago The Wageworker
and dts publishers were being loudly
condemned by a card man. who rolled
a cigaroot from "Bull Durham" while
making the denunciation.
The printing offices dn Lincoln that
could put the label on Campaign litera
ture two years ago are not able to do
so this year. Candidates should be
warned in time.
"Everybody knows where I stand,
says Mayor Dahlman. Sure until 8
p. m. Then he has to seek a "club
Lincoln wage earners will celebrate
Labor Day. The "knocker" might
as well crawl back into his hole.
The' candidate may have the label
on his card without having the love
of unionism in his heart.

caster county, ds a good man to tie
to. Mr. Brown's record in the seriate
during the 1909 session will stand in
vestigation. He was for every bill
that organized labor asked for which
was not very much, by the way. But
he showed where his heart is. He has
signed "Statement No. 1,", and he will
support any reasonable bill that organ
ized labor asks support for.
wlTeerCrelghton democratic
candidate for nomination for lieutenant
governor, is one of the squarest men
that ever lived. Every trust and cor
poration in the state is fighting him
because they can not dictate to him.
He is the man that put the harvester
trust on the bum in this state. The
farmers ought to be for hiim to a man.
The spectacle of tradesmen in one
branch of a trade standing up and
defending a man who ds notoriously
unfair to tradesmen in another branch
of the .trade is not calculated to im
press the Business Men's League with
the idea that organized labor is stand
ing shoulder to shoulder.
The billboards of Lincoln are being
plastered with four-sheet posters iboom
ing James C. Dahlman for governor.
The label of the allied printing trades
is conspicuous by its absence.
If the republicans nominate Prof. J.
W. Crabtree for state ( superintendent
of public instruction he will be elected
by the biggest majority ever given a
candidate for state office.
One reason why the Wageworker is
for Metcalfe for senator is because it
is Metcalfe.

nomination for state senator from Lan
A whole lot of "square man" talk
conies from a crooked tongue.
Once more this newspaper is not
now, never has been, nor never will
be while under its present management,
the "official organ" of any union,
organization or party. It is not an
"organ." It is edited by its editor,
and it has no opinions 'for sale. Ad
vertising rates made known on application.
A federal judge in Kansas has actu
ally prevented a city under the commis
sion system from doing business that
way. If God.should happen to want to
take a vacation, He could find a lot
of Federal judges quite sure they are
capable of handling God's job.
Democrats who believe that one man
knows more than all men should vote
for Dahlman at the primaries. Dahl
man says ihe don give a d n what
the people want, he'll veto it if it
does not suit him.
. The man rwho made the Omaha World
Herald famous ds now a candidate for
senator against the man who profited
by Metcalfe 's work in making the
World-Herald famous.
It seems that J. R. C. Miller really
knows more than all the rest of the
people put together. It would be dan
gerous to elect such a knowledgeous
man to the legislature.
