CENTRAL UNION NOT TO ACT STATE BANKS SHOW
GREAT INCREASE
Lincoln Labor Body Believes in Pro
tecting All Members Affili-,
ated with It.
ASSERT DRYS ARE INCONSISTENT
(From a Staff Correspondent.).
LINCOLN. Sept. 8.-Speclal.-The
Central Labor union of Lincoln will in
all likelihood not follow the lead of the
Typographical union In ' cutting loose
from the Nebraska Federation of Labor,
according to several labor leaders. The
printers withdrew from the union because
the state convention body declared
attains! prohlhltlon.
The leaders explain the action by point
ing out that a large union membnrsh'p
Is employed in the breweries and distill
eries over the country and these union
workers would bethrown out of employ
ment. It is the policy of the union to
protect Its members in all lines of em
ployment, it Is pointed out.
It is charged the ultra prohibition ele
ment in the labor ranks Is not consistent
because it does not attempt to restrain
carpenters or other crafts frow working
on buildings that are used for the manu
facture arid sale of liquor, nor does it
frown upon other occupantlons which
directly or Indirectly contribute to the
liquor business.
Tlieactlon of the Typographical union
Is taken to reflect the opinion of a news
paper, where a large membership is em
ploed, which is engaged in a prohibi
tion fight.
