PROVEN EARNING CAPACITY
SUFFICIENT TO PAY PREFERRED
DIVIDENDS.

IE6 nXed charges OF international
Marine are S3.O343OO per year. which would
mean that if 1t makes a net profit no greater
than the companies operating separately and
IN competition made, IL would have a surplus
at the years end Of $3OT3,3T5. AS dividends on
the present issue of Marine preferred call for
$3,130O00 per annum the constituent compa-
MES, operated separa tey, practically earned the
dividend for four consecutive years prior TO the
consolida ton.
Interna tional Mercan ntile Marine, an American
corpora ton without protection. in competition
with heavily subsidized foreign steamship COM
panes forced into the cutting OF steerage
rates TO S12 and SIS. which were in effect dur
ing the rate This compares to $50 prior
to the war and $31 and S33 now in effect. which
are higher than existed originally. When It Is
considered that the larger liners, such as ths
Oceanic. usually carry from twelve TO fifteen
per cent In rates clearly foreshadows the bene-
fts which must be reflected later on in the
form Of dividends
The reStora tton Of rates. the improvement IN
shipping trade. the economies introduced under
the new administra tion and It's excellent
agement. together with the fact that the con-
stituent companies. operated separately, did
practically earn the equivalent Of present divi-

and Philadelphia. The "scab" cigars
made in the east are aften made by
consumptives, syphillitics and scroful-
Gus workers crowded into foul quar-
ters.
Lincoln cigarmakers are our friends.
They help make Lincoln good busi-
ness town. They assist materially in
advancing the cause of unionism. The
Lincoln unionist who is smoking g
"scab" cigars is no better than a
strikebreaker, and as between the
"scab' and the alleged unionist who
buys "scab" goods, we prefer the
"scab." You always know where the
"scab" stands. The alleged unionist
who buys unfair goods is not to be
trusted in union affairs.
II you are not smoking union made
cigars-and giving the preference to
those made in Lincoln-you are fall
ing far short of your duty as union
man.

BOOSTING THE LABEL.
New Association at Eloin for Boost.
ing the Sign of Fair Goods.

The American Cooperation Asso-
citation has been launched in Elgin,
ILL.,, and has taken it's place in the
business world as promoter of the
consumption of union-made products.
The association assures trades union
lists that it will establish any busi-
ness the workers may desire in any
city and guarantee a profitable sue
cess.
The Elgin Trades Council and other
unions, also reliable business men
friendly to the labor union movement
are interested in the venture. The
purpose of the association seems to
be to supply a substantial method by
which workmen themselves, or a
trades union, may set up opposition
to unfair concerns. 1t will likely
prove a formidable weapon against
the "open shop" employer, if properly
appreciated by the wage-earners them,
serves.-Motorman and Conductor.

THE BARRIERS.
Going to Observe the Fourth in a New
Way This Year.

Going to Observe the Fourth in a New
Way This Year.
The BARRIERS of the city are going
to observe the Fourth in an entirely
new way this year. They are not
going to work at ALL For the first
time in local history the barber shops
will be closed all day the Fourth, and
the journeymen and boss BARRIERS"
will proceed to enjoy themselves each
according to his bent. This is an evi-
dence of progression and good fellow
ship and employers and employees re.
alize it.
The local BARRIERS Union is one OF
the strongest and best in this section
of the country. There is not the
least friction and the relationship be
tween the employers and employees is
pleasant. All of this is due to the
wise and conservative policy Of the
union and the employer. 1t is safe
to say that all of them will enter into
the celebration of the Fourth this year
with increased zest because of the
interesting conditions surrounding the
day.

TOO OFTEN THE WAY.
A Little Complaint That Should Be
Attended to by Unionists.

When the Shoe Workers National
union is in trouble it will ask the Ia
Dor papers to do it's knocking and
boycotting, but during peace and
plenty it gives it money to have dead
walls in dead parts of Omaha covered
with advertisements in favor of the
union label. How natural it is for
men on the pay roll to play the part
of big men commercially. The Gar
ment Workers union did the same
thing, and when it got into trouble
the street car and high-class magazine
had no room for boycott signs or
hard luck stories. 1t does not neces-
sarily follow that man on the pay
roll is always union man.-Western

A STOCK YARDS GIRL.
Pathetic Story That Tells of One
Girls Useless Efforts.

Miss Mary e. Mcdowell, of the
University of Chicago Settlement,
tells the story of one girl in the stock
yards whom she called the idealist of
longing it was to earn more wages,
not that she could have more money,
but that the family need not sleep all
in the same room-could have some
thing more like a home and privacy.
So expert was she, so eager, that

maker of the labelling room, but when
she kept on until she got what she
wanted there came a cut in the wages.
Again she kept on redoubling her ef-
forts, until at the new rate she could
make the wages that she wanted. The
others followed, and again the cut
In the end she overworked, and the
strain killed her.-Labor Clarion.

THE PAINTERS.
Union Men Prosperous While Unfair
Employers Are Worrying.

Union Men Prosperous While Unfair
Employers Are Worrying.
The Painters and Decorators Union
is prospering, and without having
made any fuss whatsoever about it has
achieved marked success in little
trouble that showed up last spring.
Every union man in town is working
at the scale of the union, or better
mostly better-and the fair employ
ers are crowded with orders. The
unfair shops have been struggling
along shorthanded as regards num-
bers and sadly handicapped by incom-
potency.
A union printer having house that
needed repapering stepped into an
unfair shop the other day, and said:
"You have always done my work,
and I have some more that want
Eyes, sir; yes, sir; we can" began
the unfair employer.
mo you can't, either said the
printer 1--WE spent lots of money
with you, but / just dropped in to
tell you that while I want lot Of
work done you can't do it now, or ever
again, unless you get square. My
unionism impels me to employ only
union men. Good day.
The unfair employer has been "beef-
ing so loudly about it that the story
is going the rounds. A little more
of that sort of support and there will
be no unfair shops in the city.
