THE LABEL LEAGUE
Interesting Paper on the Organization
Read by Mrs. Glassman

At the social given by the Hold Car
riers' and Building Laborers' Union at
c. l.. U. hall last evening, Mrs. Glass
man read the following interesting pa
per on the objects of the Woman's La
bel League. Mrs. Glassman has been
since its organization, and is interest
ed in the work which it is doing and
hopes to do. The paper is commended
to the thoughtful consideration of
every union man and woman in the
city:
The Ladies' Label League of Lin
coin was organized a year ago.
Its charter membership numbered
fifteen, but like all new societies many
of those joining seemed to be actu-
ated solely by curiosity. These men,
bers soon fell by the wayside, leaving
band OF faithful workers, whose zeal
has been rewarded by substantial re-
suits, as manifested in an increased
demand for those products bearing the
emblem of fairly paid and fairly fed
labor.
It has well been said that every
child has alright to be we'll born. The
author might have supplemented this
remark by saying, land every child
has right to be well fed, clothed and
educated" In a word, right to the
opportunity to live and live right. No
work ever undertaken by women has
had the deep purpose and influence of
the work in which we are engaged.
No fundamentally could be more pat
ten in shaping the life of the nation.
Better fed children mean better devel-
oped men and women. Better edu-
Gated children means a more inte2li-
gent people, ana these in turn mean a
better government, less want, less
crime, and more of human happiness.
The Union Label is to the factory
franchised, and disinherited. The work
in which we are engaged calls for
the loftiest patriotism. AS a band of
American women we, like the Spartan
women OF old, are defending our fire.

bean enemy that is entering our
homes and stealing the flower of girl
hood, bOyhOOd and wOmanhood, and
trading them for dollars. An un-Amer-
can aristocracy has been builded up,
whose vast fortunes have been built
at the cost of the bodies and souls of
thousands of human beings. We come
unto you, American men, and appeal
to that old-time American chivalry
that would die in defense of woman's
honor, and appeal to you to help us
save the girls and the boys. During
the civil war the soldier that would
furnish ammunition to the enemy
would be treated as traitor, and yet
his act would be no more disloyal nor
dangerous to the common welfare than
that of the worker, man or woman,
who buys the product OF unfair labor
and thereby gives assistance to labors'
enemies and helps to forge not only
letters for himself but for his fell
low workers as we'll

MR.. rHoMPsoN's CANDIDACY
Friendly to Unionism and Friendship
Shown by His Acts

N w. Thompson, local manager of
the Nebraska Telephone company, has
been nominated by the democrats of
the city for the excise board. The Ne
braska Telephone company at Lincoln
is not CLOSED shop" but the Elec-
trical Workers have found in Mr..
Thompson a fair employer and man
who has interested himself in their
welfare as men and as unionists.
When the local electrical workers en-
ployed by the Nebraska Telephone
company in Lincoln struck in sympa-
thy with the company's employees in
Omaha, they found Mr.. Thompson
more than friendly, and when the
Omaha strike was lost they were in
stantely reinstated in Lincoln. Mr..
Thompson never loses an opportunity
to recommend that an employee join
the union, and he enjoys the conf
dence of the employees under his juris-
diction. The minimum scale enjoined
upon members of the Electrical Work
ers Union in Lincoln is less than Mr..
Thompson pays the line men employed
by him. In every way possible he
encourages unionism, and he enjoys

BUILDING LABORERS
Give Their First Social and Score a
Huge Success

The Hold Carriers and Building. La
borers~ Union~has a right to feel proud
OF the success attending the first So
cial given by it's members. The social
was held Thursday night at C. l.. U.
hall and was one of the most largely
attended socials ever given by a labor
union iE this city. Nearly 200 people
enjoyed the hospitality of the union
and partook of the good things to eat
provided by the committee in charge.
long table stretched down the center
of the hall, and just at the light time a
lot of men hustled in win steaming
coffee, luscious ham sandwiches, cake
like mother used to make and ice
cream dished up by a generous hand.
One feature of this part of the pro-
gram was that the guest was pressed
to take more-something rather I'M
usual at an affair OF that kind. Hav-
ing husky appetites of their own the
unions members conceived the idea
that everybody else had the same
thing, consequently the walters how
cred near and insisted on piling up
some more in front of the diner.
Before the gustatory portion OF the
program was reached Mr.. Schiermeyer
cordially welcomed all present to the
meeting and then spoke a few words
concerning the labor question. Little
Frieda Swanson was hoisted to a chair
and brought down the house by recit-
ing a bit of verse that called attention
to the label, and everybody cheered
vociferously. Mr.. S. ]. Kent of the Car
penters' Union said that there was
something more to the labor organ1za-
stion than the mere matter of shorter
hours and higher wages. There was
the greater question of the uplift and
bettermen of humanity. NJ. T. Castor
of the Electrical Workers Union spoke
briefly, and the dominant note of his
remarks was fraternity. He urged
workingmen to get together and stand
together for principle and for justice.
Gus Swanson OF the Bricklayers' Union
made some emphatic remarks concern
ing the use of the label, and being in
the habit OF talking about the label he
did not mince his words but shot the
truth home. Mrs. Glassman read a
paper, which may be found in full else
where in this issue. Mr.. Maupin told
story or two and urged more unity
of action.
After the luncheon the guests
mingled in social intercourse and got
better acquainted, and the members
of the Label League present took adj
vantage of the opportunity to do lit
tie missionary work. All in all the
social was great success, and is
proof that the union responsible for it
is wide awake and up to date.

BRAVE "scAss"
Hide Behind the Skirts Of Girls and
Sneak Safely to Work


Your average "scab" is brave fel-
low;-not.s He loves to talk about be-
ing free and Independent, but he
knows better. He knows he is a
sneak, and knows that he is doing
something that he should be ashamed
of doing. The striking garment work
ers of Chicago established peace
full picket around the clothing shops.
The imported "scabs" were frightened
to death at the sight of the union men
and appealed to lot of girl employees
for help. The girls former a Gordon
around the ''scabs'' and escorted them
from the shops. f, -.
The strikers cheered the girls. who
had the nerve to march out openly, but
they numerically jeered and jibed the
shrinking 'scabs" who hid behind pet
ticoats. The strikers have been or
derby and the police have had no 'trOu-
BILE whatever But the "scabs" felt
insecure until they found girls brave
enough to act as their guards.

A BAD FALL
George Wales Severely Injured by
Tumbiinq Through a Hole

George Wales, a Iaborer on the new
cold storage building at Seventh and
l. streets, was badly injured zyester-
day afternoon by falling through an
opening in one floor to-the floor below.
He lit on his head and shoulders and
was rendered unconscious. He re-
NAMED in that condition for half
hour after he had been taken to his
home at Twelfth and Belmont ave-
nue. DR.. Slattery was called and found
that one shoulder, one side of his head
and his jaw were badly bruised but no
bones broken. 1t is thought that he
will recover unless there are injuries
that can not be located now. Wales
was handling lumber up to a workman
on the floor above him when he fell.

hold of it to remove it the power was
turned on. One hand rested on a

help him., He hung for few moments

Poet Seeks a Wife,

It Ia only to be expected that a mat
rimonial advertisement in Italy should
be poetic in tone, and consequently
that poets should make use of them
without shame. Hence, no doubt, the
following interesting announcement,
published in a Roman paper: "a
poet. humanitarian, of sensitive nature,
poor and alone. would consecrate his
existence to the service of a gentle
Lady desiring to marry, who would be
disposed to assist in the publication
Of his works. and to share in his sue

Mr.. Bryan is without a peer on
the American platform of today,

est orator of modern times.
This engagement is no longer a
joke, but is a grand reality since
we have in our possession the
contract signed by the proper
parties.
We already have had foreign
calls for tickets, but we shall
give the citizens of Hope and
vicinity an opportunity o. secur-
ing their tickets first and then
attend to our foreign demand.
AS the public knows, the seating
capacity of the Opera house is
limited to about $50 and we
urge those who desire to hear
this Wizard of the West" to Sc
cure their ticket by June IS,
1905, after which all remaining
room will be sold to our foreign
customers.
By special arrangements, we
have been able to reduce the
price of tickets to Is cents, a
price within the reach of each
and all. All standing room will
be sold at the same price and
from the present demand, stand
ing room will be at a premium.
Tickets will be sold at the furni-
ture store of E. D. Washburn
and will be numbered and re-
corded according to the date of
sale.
Our ~promotional exercises for
the Eighth grade will occur Fri
day evening, May 26, 1905, pro-
