MANY CLOSED.

Most of Lincoln's retail establish
ments closed during part of Thanks
giving day, and several of them closed
all day. The Wageworker attempted
to secure list OF those that did not
open at all, but failing to get the
names of all will not publish a partia:
list. Union men and women, however.
caves their employees the benefit of the
full holiday and show appreciation By
ratronizing these stores more literally.
The stores that kept open all day
and several dido not deserve the
patronage of union men and women.
Let us all stand by the merchants who
treat their employers most fairly.

It's a Very Common Kind of Unionism

A friend of The Wageworker had a
conversation with an alleged unioll
man the other day.
Il wanted a ha. with the label CT,

the store where l always buy my hats
did not have q labeled hat, SO l took
one without"
Then he was asked about the suit
Il clothes he had on.
Il wanted a SUIT with The label, but
couldn't find a labeled suit to fit me

How about your shoes?"

Put the Union Card in a Couple More
Shops Recently.
The BARRIERS Union is going right
ahead with it's good work, adding new
members at every meeting and putting
the union cards in new shops with
pleasing regularity. Last week Secrc-
tary Bowen placed shop cards in the
Pioneer and Haskell shops. Recently
'scab' cigar manufacturer presented
every barber shop in town with shay
iEg papers bearing the advertisement
OF his cigar. a day or two later the
Cigarmakers' union sent \ committee
out to call the attention of the union
shops to the 'tscab" advertisement. One
word was enough. The advertising dis
appeared with suddenness that spoke
volumes for the urionism of the bar
bers.

And Mr.. Swisher hitched his horses

went back to the yard Office to get his
card. Two hours later he unloaded
the coal and the lady signed the ticket.
Leaving that card at the Office cost

they'd all make the men who deliver

LABEL LEAGUE SOCIAL.

Union Women Prepare Good Time for
Their Union Friends.
Next Moday evening the Woman )
Label League will give a social at Cer-
trail Labor Union hall, ami every union
man and woman In the city is urged
why they should be there. First, be-
cause their presence and support Will
contribute to the success Of the work
undertaken by the League, and second,
because they will have a good time.
The Women's Label League has worked
under difficulties that would overwhelnl
most organizations, but the women
are loyal and deeply interested, and
despite discouragements and the neg
lcct of those who should he most help
full, they have maintained lie organiza-
tion and accomplished good work in
the interests of unionisnl They are
trade unionist.
The social next Monday evening will
be unique. In addition tc a pleasing
program of vocal and instrumental mu-
sic and recitations, there will be dane
ing after the luncheon. The luncheon
will be provided by the women, who
will pack their edibles in boxes, en-
closing Herewith necktie. The pack
er OF the box will wear tie or bow
to the one in her lunch box.

mo, it isn't. l asked for a label
shirt, but the store where l always
buy my shirts does not carry EN- with
the label on. and l didn't have time
to go anywhere else
''Of course the overalls you wear are
union made"
mo, they are not. l would rather
wear union overalls, of course, but /
like a certain kind that I've been
wearing for several years, and al
though l could get union overalls just
as good I'd rather have the ones l wear
because I'm used to them, you know.
While talking this alleged union
man knocked the scab tobacco from
his pipe, thrust the pipe into his pocl:-
,et and took a chew of Star tobacco
But he carried union card, and
thinks he is a union man. Do you
know any more like him in the city? :?

I fraternity of unionism. Ask the sick
unionists whose expenses are paid by
their fellow unionists while church
members pray with their lips.
"One of the curses of society?" Eth
er the Rev. John Marshall is a preju-
diced judge or an ignoramus who dis
graces his cloth and calling by his
parade OF ignorance. While he was
denouncing the unions as unchristian,
those same unions were raising 1000
to feed the hungry and clothe the
naked, and every dollar was honestly
men and women, not earned by pur-
chased legislation secured by hypocrit-
| ical Pharisees who stand in the mar
ket places parading their religion an'i
other men.
Why doesn't the Rev. John Marshall
get acquainted with union men and
|unionism? Why does he rot get next
to them, instead of imbibing his in
formation from prejudiced sources. if
he will visit among the unions of Lii
coin. talk with union men and women,
and investigate the work OF these local
unions, he will find that they do more
in the name of charity in proportion 10
numbers than all the churches in the
city. He will find less of sham and
hypocrisy He will find that the most
jealous workers in the city churches
are men who belong to labor unions
He will find fraternity, brotherly love,
charity, long suffering, meekness. gen
Itleness, kindness, all these things
blossoming and ripening into golden
fruit more profusely in the labor
unions than in the churches CT the
city. The Wagewcrker knows, be-
cause The Wageworker is acquainted
with both--something that the Rev
John Marshall can not say with equa!
truth.
or course the labor unions make mis-
takes, and of course the labor unions
do wrong. But the church is not in
fallible, and its history is not free
from mistakes. In all the history of
labor unionism the "scab' and the
striker breaker have not been af
ficted with the same cruelty that the
church has visited upon the hereto.
Men claiming to be Christians have
gone forth with fire and sword, killing
and burning for the love of God, and
all in the name of the Prince of Peace.
Does that argue that the church is
wrong today?
The Rev. John Marshall should wake
III and get into the present century
He should wipe the cobwebs from his
eyes, prejudice from his brain and
injustice from his heart.

ABOVE THE SCALE.
Conditions =. ehe Local Labor Market
Have Been Very Good.


Have Been Very Good.
The present remarkable weather has
been boon to the building tradesmen,
especially to the bricklayers and the
plasterers. Business has been unusual
ly good in both these trades this sea-
son, and no member of either has been
compelled to remain idle for any
length OF time. The bricklayers have
been unusually fortunate because the
weather has permitted outside work al
most continuously for almost nine
months. Every bricklayer in the city
has been working, and all of them
have been drawing fully 20 per cent
above the scale. The carpenters, too,
have been fortunate in the respect
that their work has been interrupted
very little by the weather, and the
wage scale has been satisfactory.

Parry was doing Europe like prince

o. MR.. POST!
How This Wonderfully Kind Employer
Treated His Wife.

How This Wonderfully Kind Employer
Treated His Wife.
A few months ago The Wageworker
gave Mr.. C. w. Post of Battle Creek,
Mich, the benefit of couple of col
umns of free advertising. Mr.. Post
wrote the advertisement himself and
paid to have it inserted in a lot of
newspapers, but he got it into The
Wageworker for nothing In that ad-
vertisement Mr.. Post attacked the la
Dor unions, and called ulionists IAN
archists, and lot OF other names
equally scorching. 1t was a most in
teresting document. If The Wage
worker had little more time and d
little more money it would reproduce
the article in question, but portion
of it is reproduced just for the purpose
of pointing a moral and adorning a
tale.
Mr.. Post-who, by the way, manu-
factures edible sawdust and sells it in
pretty little packages cursing the
labor unions until he was blue in the
face because they refused to eat his
grippe guts'' and "roastum squeerial,
declared that they were endeavoring
to take away the employment of the
three thousand happy and satisfied en-
ployes working for him. He made a
wonderful parade of his philanthropy
as witness the following extract from
his open letter:
Our people are paid high wages.
These who have been with us one year
receive per cent above regular wages.
and the two year and over veterans re-
ccive 10 per cent above the regular
wages. :: * Most OF them own
their own homes. The agita-
tors Of the labor unions have tried to
introduce their methods of strikes, hat
people to replace the present condi-
tions OF peace and prosperity"
Now isn't that beautiful picture?
Isn't this c. w. Post a splendid man?
SO kind, SO thoughtful Of others, so
philanthropic, so gentle and so gener
GUS? Who has the heart to condemn
such an elegant gentleman?
But bear in mind that Mr.. Post was
singing his own praises and sounding
tie hew-gag in honor of his own vir
tues.
And only last week his wife secured
d divorce from him on the grounds of
cruelty.
We can not and will not discharge
{. single one of our faithful and time
tried workmen," declared Mr.. Post in
his "open letter. What a good mai,
to be sure.
And yet the wife OF his bosom, the
woman he had sworn to love, cherish
and protect, is forced to secure a di-
vorce from him because of his cruelty
to her.
Our compliments to Mrs Post, and
congratulations upon her securing free
dom from such beautiful specimen of
philanthropy.
