Notaries Must Pay Fee.

Austin. Texas.-The Alvin Sun
and several other papers in the
state are making a mistake by
printing the following which ap-
peared IN the Corpus Crony last
week.
Many Texans Will waste each a
dollar on June / unless attention
is drawn to the fact that the ex-
penditure is unnecessary. Several
thousand men and women have
been appointed notaries public by
the governor and confirmed by the
senate. It IS necessary that they
should take the oath OF Office be-
fore some competent officer and file
their 81 900 bonds with the coun-
tv clerk. But it is not necessary
that they should pay the additional
fee of 81 to secure a commission
from the secretary Of state. The
commission does not add any effect
to their acts and is simply an or
nament-its cost a waste of mon
ey."
The law saws that every officer
must have a commission before he
can discharge the duties of his of
fee. The statute is very plain on
the subject, and unless a notary
pays the county clerk 81 for his
commission he will not be a legal
notary, and his acknowledgement
of deeds and other instruments will
in jeopardy.

RICHARD L. METcALFE.

Now a Resident Of Lincoln and Asso-
ciate Editor Of The Commoner.
Richard L. Metcalfe, for the past ten
years editor-in-chief of the Omaha
World-Herald, is now a resident of
Lincoln, and has become associate edi-
tor OF the Commoner. 1t is great
pleasure to the editor of The Wage
worker to make this announcement.
For more than eight years the editor
and Mr.. Metcalfe have been intimately
associated in newspaper work, and no
man could ask for more thorough
gentleman and capable newspaper
man to work with Mr.. Metcalfe be-
gan his newspaper experience on a
country newspaper in Missouri, and
after he had served time in the me-
chanical deartment from devil" to
foreman.
Organized labor has no better
friend than Mr.. Metcalfe. A mans
best friend is not the one who is al
ways patting him on the back Met"
is one of those friends who does not
hesitate to tell you frankly just what
he thinks, and his advice is always
the kind that it pays to follow.

THE REAL FACTS.
Responsibility for chicago's Labor
Trouble Very Easily Placed.

Responsibility for chicago's Labor
Trouble Very Easily Placed.
Fair minded men have no trouble
in fixing responsibility for the labor
troubles in Chicago. For three years
the Parryites have been preparing a
coup. expecting to break down the
lines of the labor unions at one fell
swoop. They have been systemati-
cally warning on the smaller and
weaker unions, and have met with
considerable success. Fmboldened by
this they branched tnlt, and began
nagging at the stron ger unions. By
means of writs and federal interfer-
ence they brought .,hings to such a
pass that the unif as either had to
fight back or lay own. And because
the unionists refused to lay down,
but on the contrary began fighting
for their existence, the employers and
their subsidized organs Immediately
began bowling anarchy.
The Parryites claim that it is all
right for them to hire notorious thugs
and bruisers to do their dirty work,
but when the upionists meet these
imported thugs with their own weap-

ons the Parryites Immediately begin
bowling about anarchy" and riot"
and superficial thinkers who know
nothing of the case save what they
read in daily newspapers owned by
the Parryite crowd side in with the
Parryites. The union men have no
means of reaching the general pub
lie with their side of the case.
When tho Chicago teamsters went
on strike the employers association
Immediately imported their hordes OF
thug strike breakers and paraded
them about the city, and when the
unionists resented this-as any hui
man being with red blood in his veins
would do-the Parryites threw up
their hands in holy horror and began
hollering for public sympathy.
The WagewOrker has no sympathy
with the unionism that resorts to
brute force to carry it's ends, but it
wouldn't give three whoops in Hades
for the union man who wouldn't fight
when the imported thugs led by Far
ley and Curry are Haunted in front of
him and their jeers and taunts flung
at him. The strike breaking thug who
assaults a union man is paraded as a
hero, but the union man who fights
back is denounced as a ruffian. The
real facts are that the imported thugs
OF the employers association are do
ing most of the dirty work, for that
is their regular business, and the en-
ployers blame it all on the strikers.
It's an old dodge to hire thugs to COM
nit assaults and destroy property dur
ing strike, and then blame it on the
strikers for the purpose of securing
public sympathy. Some of these days
the general public will become ac-
quainted with this dodge, and then
it will no longer work.

Local Members Keeping Their Eyes
on the Situation in Chicago.

Local teamsters are watching the
Chicago situation with great inter.
est Tuesdays dispatches indicated
that the strikers had won an import
ant advantage. The Team Owners
association, which employs only union
drivers, refused to deliver goods to
the firms whose teamsterS are on
strike, and two big employing firms
broke away from the Employers as
ISOLATION and signed contracts with
the Transfers Union. The newspa-
pers continue to fill up with horrible
stories of rioting, and these stories
deceive that class that is foolish
enough to believe what the daily
press says about strikes. A jeer for
"scab" teamster from bunch of
union teamsters is magnified into
riot, and little scrap on the corner
is magnified into pitched battle with

2O9 will meet next Sunday, and
among other things will nominate
candidates for the various Offices for
the ensuing six months. The election

The election of delegate will be pulled
off on week day under the Austria
liam ballot system. There is no furry
over the delegateship. There are no
announced candidates for local Office,
either. The eight-hour question will
have to be handled by the officers to
be elected, and there seems to be no
one anxious to take the lead, although
there are about 100 members willing
to take it if the union insists. There
are very few "quitters" in 209's ranks.
The Wageworker is anxious to
make up a Toronto party. The editor
has been making some inquiries as
to rates, ETC., and it seems possible
to get rate that will permit large
number to go. The trip will be de-
lightful one, and if sufficient num-
Der will go it will be possible to Sc
cure car direct through from Lin
coin to Buffalo. Returning going
as the excursionists prefer, the run
between Detroit and Buffalo may be
made by boat without adding cent
to the expense. By taking a tourist
car the sleeping accommodations can
be secured at a nominal cost. The
editor would be pleased to give all
the information he has acquired up to
date, and keep the inquirers posted
on any new developments. In view of
the low rate that it now seems pos
sible to secure there should be no
difficulty in getting a party of from
fifteen to twenty-five to go from Lin
coin to the Canadian metropolis.
At Sundays meeting arrangements
will doubtless be made for the proper
observance of Memorial Sunday. The
success attending the observance last
year will doubtless spur the printers
and the Auxiliary to an effort to even
more fttingly celebrate the day this
year.

Last Sunday afternoon there was
an enthusiastic meeting at A. o. u.
W. hall, the purpose of those gath
cred there being to organize a Wom-
ans Auxiliary to the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers. Division No.
80 has been taking an active interest
members have not been at all back
ward in expressing a desire to or
ganize.
At Sundays meeting it was decid-
ed that the actual organization of the
Auxiliary take place in the latter part
of May, the exact date to be deter
mined by the organizer already en-
gagged. H. Wiggenjost has had charge
of the preliminary work, and the
meeting unanimously declared that
he was just the man to keep right on
and attend to further details. He is
still holding the petition open for
charter members although already
more than three times the required
number have been enrolled.
Meanwhile a committee OF eleven
ladies, with Mrs. Jos. Mccoy, 1908
U street, as chairman, was appointed
to look after all matters pertaining
to entertainment. 1t is expected that
large number of visitors from other
division points will be present when
the Auxiliary is formally launched,
and the committee on entertainment
has plenty of work on hand.
In view of the promising outlook
for the Auxiliary, and the good time
in store for those enrolling their
names as members, it behooves those
who desire to join as charter mem
bers to make application without fur
