NOMINATION THAT WAS LOST BY A FLUKE
Ilia Own Version of the Streak with
.Thnntoi that Made tha
Two Implacable Polit
ical Enemies.
Ko man who has been thoroughly Identi
fied with Omaha for more than twenty-Ave
years can answer the final summons with
out recalling to his friends a great many
Incidents reflecting peculiar characteristics.
This Is true In more than the usual degree
with reference to the late Richard 8. Berlin,
or rather "Dick" Berlin, for he would not
know himself by any other name. "Dick"
Berlin knew everybody and everybody
knew "Dick," and His acquaintance was not
confined to Omaha but extended through
out the state and Info many other states.
His office was tha rendezvous for visitors
from out of town and for people In town
who had troubles to tell or help to ask.
These visitors Included all classes from
ragged beggars black and white to busi
ness men of affairs, and even soelety
women who have been known to drop In
in groups for a social hour while watch
ing a parade from the windows or to use
his reception room as a meeting place.
"Dick" Berlin was one of those privi
leged persons, whose social position was
secure and who could Indulge almost any
outlandish Impulse without being called to
account. Not many years back, he was
walking up Farnam street one day and
met one of the season's debutantes with
two young women friends who were visit
ing her from out of town. After the usual
oordlul greeting Berlin exclaimed:
"Come in here with me and I will buy
you each a box of candy."
Tha Invitation was not spurned. The
three young women accompanied him into
the store where his generosity was aa good
as his word.
"I guess I will take my pay right now,"
exclaimed the Imperturable "Dick" and he
forthwith kissed every one of them be
' fore a gaping crowd in the middle of
BaldufTs shop.
It took -some time for the visiting guests
to regain their equanimity and to learn
that it was only "Dick's" way of extend
ing a warm, w "stern welcome.

New Power of Trade Unionism
By John Gra
ham Brooks
la Col,ler'
The sense of power Is Just now the dis
tinctive mint-mark upon organized labor.
One may name a hundred towns that are
at the present moment nearly at the merry
of the trade unions. There are New Eng
land cities In which practically every trade
even clerks, waiters, newsboys and boot
blackshas been brought Into line. In a
city of some 40,000 Inhabitants I have made
an estimate of the funds paid Into the union
treasury in a single year. Including fines It
amounts to nearly 1280,000. Such resources
are the best material symbol of this new
tense of mastery. No class known to us
ever won power so rapidly and used It with
restraint. Within a few months I have
seen a man close up his affairs because he
saw po way to meet tha conditions laid
upon him by the unions. I have seen the
merchants forced to discontinue the sale of
a very popular article. I have seen a board
ing house keeper compelled to unionize all
her "help" against her own will and that
of her girls as well. These Instances are
neither extreme nor uncommon. The build
ing trades offer us far mora drastlo ex
amples. '
Neither court Injunctions nor the' wrath of
employers has in It a tithe of the dancer
to unionism that lurks In Its own sudden
and undisciplined strength. A shrewd em
ployer tells me, "Oh, let them have rope
and they will soon hang themselves." There
Is a good half-truth In this, but the figure
Is not a good one. Scores of looal unions
are now putting In demands which will
work irreparable harm to their own real
Interests, but "hang themselves" they will
not. They will survive very gross abuses.
Employers have few more dangerous 11-'
lusions than that aggressive labor organiza
tion Is somehow a temporary erase. The
next business depression will weaken the
unions and multitudes of workmen will
walk the streets. The employer will then
have his Innings, only. In too many cases,
to misuse his power against the men.
The supremo need of the moment Is, first,
to assume the practical permanence of or
ganized lnbor; and, second, to prepare sys
tematically and effectively to meet It.
In the past, workmen-have suffered spe
cific abuses. Somewhat dazed by their new
power, they are now striking back, and In
many cases are sadly overdoing it. I know
of no single abuse which has not been
taught them by the more conscienceless of
employers. Overtime, fines, the use of ma
chinery, piece work and apprentices ex
pressly to keep down wages, are part ana
man can measure who
terrors which no
baa not felt It.
The day la passed when It Is worth while
for the Individual employer to fight trade
unions. Tits fight of the employer must
be collective and organized. Industrially,
the overtopping fact of our time Is organ
ization. Swiftly as It has Increased, it Is
yet In its beginnings. Capital Is system
atizing its Impersonal forces of finance and
mechanism. Its next step Is that of a
counter organization of employers against
the unions. It will demand the same kind
of sacrifices that are involved In trade
union membership. An employer strug
gling to form such a body In his own trad 3
has Just told me, "I don't know why, but
It Is ten times harder to get employers to
gether than It Is for the workmen to get
together. The workmen will run risks an J
take losses for an idea. They will suffer
for their class far more than we will." In
the trades Into which a powerful unionism
has come this Is a difficulty, nevertheless,
Which business men must overcome. They
must have the force of their full group"
Strength against that of united workmen.
But why ia this so essential? Employers
must organise first of all to get adequate
strength to steady them in their struggle
with the unions. Organization Is Impera
tive to secure the various forma of Insur
ance that will more and mors bo necessary.
And yet U Is not merely to 'drganUe
against the unions. Employers must or
ganize In order that they may work peace
ably with the unions. Employers must
organize because no other device promisee
sj much and so surely that kind of common
education which slowly removes the chief
causes of misunderstanding and consequent
strife. Maeterllnk defines hell aa a slate
of Infinite misunderstanding. Tha present
bell of the labor conflict is In large measure
the suspicion baaed upon misunderstanding
The limits of this article permit me to give
but a single illustration. The employer
knows exactly what the workman gets. The
workman has no such sure knowledge
about the employer's gains. It Is an ignor
ance full of dangers. This double organl-
be made. In one of the largest New Eng
land shops the net profit Is certainly not
above &H per cent. The national leaders
know this to he true. They are striving
to teach the locals and tha workmen gen
erally what this means In relation to all
Inconsiderate demands.
Olven a national organization of employ
ers to act with the federation of unions
and the most threatening excesses of In
dividual and local demands would be
curbed. The real danger point Is now In
the rashness of the local labor union or the
pigheadedness of certain employers. Or
ganization lessens both th?se evils. The
public has a very dim conception of the
unremitting struggle that joes on letween
the national labor organization and Its own
local unions. The national body, as it
strengthens, stands more and more for
peace and order. Its leaders are learning
the severe conditions that limit business.
They fear the sympathetic strike. They
fear the haste and unfairness of the sepa
rate union. They urge with Increasing
sincerity the keeping of contracts and the
. broadening of the field of arbitration. We
never shall get really effective arbitration,
and the consequent education which goes
with It, until labor organisation is met by
employers' organization. The worst phase
of arbitrary power In both are thus put In
check.
But, best of all, the kind or conciliation
that naturally springs up In this ner l -latlon
has in It the educational discipline
for both parties that is the next step to
ward that more democratic businos.4 man
agement that Is developing, .is with birth
pains, in our midst. The racklig friction
now caused by an Imperious trad union
Ism has In It this Immense good, that it is
forcing us to adopt methods like the Joint
agreement with Increased publicity and
arbitration. These are now too scattered
and unrelated. Employers' associations
that match the strength of combined labor
will add tenfold to the tduoatlonil and
peace-making power of the Joint agree
ment, a

slderaWy, arose from the usurpation of his
name by a well known figure In South
Omaha. The South Omaha man drifted
Into town some years ago and hooking
about for a popular appellation appropri
ated that which was supposrd to belong
exclusively to Berlin. The South Omaha
man, as every one knows, Is a professional
gambler and has been In various scrapes
from time to time, bringing him newspaper
notoriety. Every once In a while some
good old friend of Berlin's would run up
against this kind of an interrogation:,
"Why, I didn't know Dick Berlin was a
gambler. How long has ha been In that
business? He seems to be a perfect gentle
man from all appearances and no one
would suspect him of running a place in
South Omaha."
Then tho explanations would have to fol
low and the mistake corrected. The two
"Dick" Berlins were constantly getting
their letters and their mall mixed up, fre
quently with ludicrous results.
Nomination boat Only by Fluke.
"Dick" took , to politics Ilk a duck to
water and successively held several re
sponsible positions of publla character. ' In
all his political contests he retained his
good nature and Jovial disposition, with
possibly on exception to bo presently men
tioned. Ait Incident which affords ah in
sight into his character occurred In the
county nominating convention of six years
ago, when Berlin was aspiring to the re
publican nomination for registrar of deeds.
This was an office which he considered in
line with his own business, namely, that
of real estate broker, and one where his
own experience oeuld be used to publla
advantage. For that reason he was set
upon winning out It developed that his
principal competitor was George C Thomp
son of the Ninth ward, with Ton Crocker
of the Eighth ward as a close third. When
the roll was called and the ballot footed
up It was discovered that Berlin had Just
t enough votes to nominate and the chair
man was on the point of declaring him
L. the nominee of the convention when some
' of the opposing delegates, in the confusion
on the floor, began crying out that a mis
take had been made and that the vote
was not correctly recorded. There Is no
question but what this charge had no
foundation, yet Berlin Immediately mounted
pie platform and, securing recognition, de
clared: "Bojs, I don't -want this nomination un
less it really belongs to ma. I would like
and most Irritating forms of the boycott
have long been in use against the pioneers
In labor organizations.
Organization has now developed so that
labor has Its turn. The monopoly whicn
unions In specific trades have secured be
trays them, here and there, Into excesses
which correspond strictly to abuses that
employers were first to practice. Certain
conditions. Ilka the exigencies of the build
ing and the printing trades in large cities,
like the specializing of adve-tlaements. like
the Influence of the union label, tighten the
grip of this monopoly. A business or a
product made glaringly conspicuous by ad
dilation board through which the essential
facta of the business may become known to
the workmen. It means common-price
schedules which will show each employer
what his rivals are paying. In strictly
legitimate trade, the old reasons for secrecy
will disappear as this completer organi
zation develops.
In the shoe Industry, this beginning of
employers association has begun. Em
ployers have their own walking delegates
by the sphinx-riddle how to use their sur
plus so that society shall not suffer; while,
on the other side, Is the dreary and uneasy
multitude of bare wage workers. Those
who dare to hope for a future in which a
genuine co-operation shall have decent
scope may have this assurance, that the
long preliminary training for this more
equal and wholesome life can nowhere be
found except In educational devices within
the separate Industries which, lri their very

of the unions can act.
I asked one of our foremost shoe manufac
turers if he was willing that his men should
know what profits he is mailing. He said.
"Absolutely willing, If prices for labor are
fairly equalized and we can have a
method of arbitration that shall work
within the trade so aa to prevent strikes
until all resource of conciliation are ex

Under ordinary circumstances this mag
nanimity would have been followed by a
motion to make the nomination of Berlin
unanimous, but in this case It did not. and
the roll was called a second time. On this
roll call the Thompson men. seeing that
their favorite was beat and feeling re
sentful toward Berlin, threw their strength
to Crocker, who recalled the few votes that
had strayed from him, with the reault that
Berlin was defeated and Crocker nom
inated. An Incident almost similar had
occurred in the republican city convention
a few months previously, when Berlin was
pushed by his friends for the newly-created
office of tax commissioner, and a complica
tion arose regarding certain votes which,
had he insisted upon his rights, would
have changed the outcome and would
have made "Dick" Berlin the first tax com

tor Manderson retired "Dick" enlisted
among the ardent advocates of John M.
Thurston for the succession and contri
buted In no small degree to the success of
the Thurston movement Thurston went
into ofQce in 1896, during the presidency of
Orover Cleveland and Berlin for the time
retained his position. The story of what
followed, as Berlin used to tell It, was ts
follows:
"Just think of it, the very day after
President McKlnley came Into office Thurs
ton demanded my resignation. I has man
aged to hang on through an entire demo
crats administration when I might with
propriety have been supplanted with a
democrat. I was to bo turned out by re
publican friends after havkig spent fy
money and worked to put them in office.
Of course I refused to resign and put my
self in the position of having done some
thing to Justify being ousted. But that
didn't stop Thurston. Ho prevailed on the
president to send In another name for the
position I held and off went mr head."
Frm that tlmo on no one could mention
Thurston to Berlin without starting an out
pour of his pent-up resentment. When
Thurston committed hts "White Rose" In
discretion and J. Sterling Morton rubbed
brine into ' the wound with his pitiless
parody on the poem, Berlin took the front
page of the Conservative and pasted it In
a prominent place on tho wall of his office
with decorative marks of approval and
took pleaauro In calling tha attention of
his visitors to his striking exhibit
How Dlclc Frodaced the Cask.
"Dlok" Berlin had financial ups and
downs, and while they distressed him at
times he seMom gave any external signs
of worry. By far tho greater part of his
financial troubles came from over-confl
dence In Omaha real estate, with which he
ha loaded up by picking up so-called bar
gains that cams in his way as a real estate
broker during the boom days, and which
were left on his hands In the days of de
pression. The story Is told that ens of
the bank, hero In Omaha carried some
nine or ten thousand dollars worth of paper
for which Berlin was responsible In the
face of the panto that produced tho hard

have gone over their assets and had Just

kind that kept for him the confidence of
