BECAME UNFAIR.
Beatrice Cigar Firm Once Union Goes
Wrong Very Suddenly.


The Underwood Bros cigar factory
at Beatrice has been placed upon the
unfair list because it has decided to
run on the "open shop basis and re-
fuses to recognize the Cigarmakers'
Union. Underwood Bros. lately re-
moved from Lincoln to Beatrice, and
for hong time used the ''blue label.
A short time ago the firm, on the
ground that it wanted the "open
shop" declined to meet the union scale
of wages. The men walked out, but
later one man "scabbed'' and returned
to work He was Immediately fined
$75 by the union and suspended. The
Lincoln local, having jurisdiction over
the district in which Beatrice is To-
Gated, sent committee down to
straighten out the tangle it possible.
1t was unsuccessful. The label has
been ordered out OF the Underwood fac
tory, and all brands made therein are
declared unfair. Following are the
Underwood brands declared unfair, all
though heretofore entitled to and bear
ing the union label:
Little Man." Judge Hale Full
Leaf" ''Damfino.'' "Open Heart"
Comet" John B. McMasters'' and

LABOR NOTES.

Some Comment on Dolnes in the Gen.
erai Field Of Labor.
International Laborers' Union held
convention in Dayton last week. Of
fcers' reports show that 191 locals
are organized, who were represented
by 81. delegates, about one-half being
colored men. The laborers decided
not to aff1liate with the American La
Dor Union or A. F. Of L. at present,
although union cards Of all trades will
be recognized. The convention de-
clared for industrialism. w. G..
Critchlow of Dayton was reelected
president, and 2. 4. Trumbo OF Pom
tiac.s ILL.,, secretary.
/ The general building trades strike
in New York has taken on a new
lease of life. The plasterers have is
sued an ultimatum that the strike
would be extended all over the coun-
try. wherever the Fuller Construction
Co. and other concerns are doing jobs.
The bricklayers, tile layers, plumbers,
carpenters and electricians have also
declared that there will be no surren-
der under any circumstances It IS
admitted that the bosses are sinking
barrel of money.
The Chicago plutes have discovered
an old law. passed in 1877, prohibiting
"any person from obstructing the reg
ular operation and conduct OF the
business Of any railroad company or
ether corporation, firm or individual
I hey say that this law makes it un-
necessary to procure injunctions dur
ing strikes and engage in expensive
litigation. The law is simply put up
to the authorities. and they do the
rest.
Despite the fact that the window
glass workers accepted reduction OF
ten per cent in wages; leading manu-
facturers say production will be cur
tanned and under no circumstances will
there be a reduction in the price OF
glass. They need the money them
selves.

Halloween was celebrated in most
enjoyable manner by Capital Auxil-

Mrs. G. B. Fighter last Monday even

AT the home of MIR. and Mrs. Fighter,
and then conveyed in a ghostly auto
mobile to the beautifully decorated
Abarn of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Odell,
where the evening festivities were en-
joyed.
The guests were masked in ghostly
habiliments, and the illuminated skull
and crossbones upon the door of the
RICHTER home made things look awfully
''spooky." The guests were taken in
pairs to the barn by means OF an auto
mobile that had lost its rubber tires
At the barn unique and ghostly cere-
monies were INDUCED in, different
ghosts participating In program pre-
pared for the occasion. The barn was

THURBER TALKS.
But He is Sadly Mistaken as To Who
Are "The People,"


+. B. Thurber of New York is pres
luent OF the United States Export as
sociation. Recently he made a speech
at st. Louis in which he said: ~
THE public is beginning to under
stand that there may be labor trusts
as well as capital trusts. Only that
which is reasonable can last, and the
public is getting tired of the unrea-
sonable demands OF organized labor.
which represents less than one-fifth of
all the labor in the United States.''
Mr.. Thurber fondly imagines that he
and men OF his ilk are 1.-The public.
What he denounces as 1.-The unreasOn-
able demands of organized labor" are
working day, sanitary laws, regula-
ton OF sweatshops, abolition of child
labor, factory and mine inspection,
safety appliances and similar things of
interest to all men who labor. Or
ganized labor may represent only one
fifth of all the labor in the United
States, as Mr.. Thurber claims, but the
fact remains that the work of the "one-
fifth" has been OF incalcuiable benefit
to the remaining four-fifths. The
"labor trust" is not trust-it is a
mutual and fraternal protective So
ciety, just like the Knights of Ply
thias. WorKmen, Woodmcn and a host
OF similar orders. 1t is an organiza-
tion OF Gpd-made men who have band
ed together to resist the greedy de-
mands OF the man-made corporations
The labor unions deal in human souls
the great industrial trusts deal in
dirty dollars and ignore human souls.
Mr.. Thurbur represents n class OF
| men who think much more of profits
than of men and women who toll.

instructive evening,
Mrs. Hitler has been instructing a
large class in domestic science in this
city for the past month, and has clear
ly demonstrated that she stands at tho
head of her class in this particular limo
of study and investigation. The Wage
workers guests were given some val
liable hints on the use OF gas for
fuel, and they were unit in declar-
ing that this one thing alone amply
repaid them for being present. Mrs.
Killers instructions in the art OF
measurements were also beneficial be-
cause they tend to enforce economy IN
the kitchen. She quoted the old saying
that "A cook can carry more through
the back door in a teaspoon than a
man can carry in at the front door

at Indianapolis last Wednesday that
five of the six propositions submitted
to the referendum vote of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union had been

crease in salary for the president and

seemed to be the general opinion that

No Excitement at GrlnneIL

Special to Times-Republican.
Grinnell, March 29.-There was little
excitement in the city election yester-
day and but a moderate number of vot-
es cast. j. P. Lyman was elected city
solicitor over John Patton. In the First
ward DIR. z. W. Clark on the republic
cam ticket was elected by a majority of
four over j. S. Wilson, on the "citi-
zens" ticket In the Second ward G..
w. Davis, citizens' ticket, won by elev-
EN- votes over +. NJ. Card, republican.
In the Third ward where II was sup
posed the fight would be hot, as there
We're two places to fill. there were 1855
votes cast out of possible 225 to $50.
The republican ticket prevailed by a
majority of-6S votes electing j. c. Good
rich for the full term over l.. G. c..
Pierce, and John c. Powell to fill va
cancy over John Dreamer. In the
Fourth ward George Sampson on the
citizens ticket had majority of %
votes over r. CT. Coutts, republican.
While there is naturally a sense of
chagrin in defeat there has been no
bitterness of feeling engendered to re-
main and enter into future contests for
city honors The fact that good and
capable men had been nominated on
both tickets made it a matter of prac-
teal Indifference to many voters as
to which side should win and accounts
for the comparatively light vote.

GERS TO enforce the mulct law upon sa-
looms was indicated at the meeting of
the Ministerial Association yesterday
morning.
The opinion was freely expressed in
this meeting that the officers for the
purpose of enforcing the law should
see to it that this is done; and that
they should not take upon themselves
the right to interpret the laws. The
ministers thus stated their preference
for public prosecution Of violation of
the Martin law. instead of private en-
forcement, as by the Anti-Saloon
League. The discussion followed the
reading of a paper by H. c. Marshall.
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League.
Rev. DR.. White Rev. Dr. Watts, Rev.
DIR. McFadden and others said in their
opinion it was not the duty of the
Anti-Saloon League to enforce the law,
but rather of the officers of the law
From this time on the thing for us
to do is to concentrate our efforts upon
the officials of the city," said Rev. DR..
White. 1T is about time our public
officials must learn that they are there
to execute the laws and not to choose
which laws shall be served and which
shall not be enforced. 1t is time pres

League.
IF you filed every office with
saint the city would still be overrun
with deviltry, homes would be ruined
and lives blasted" went on Rev. Mr..
Smylie. Under the existing laws you
can not regulate properly the saloon.
The saloon is wholly bad and can not
be made to behave itself. The only at
titude of the church of Jesus Christ is
relentless hostility. To license the sa-
loon is to license Sin. The laws are
made by the saloons friends and
friends of the saloon are in the offices.
No one has chance to get on the tick
ct unless he gives the necessary pledge
to that element"
