Working Quietly and Getting Things
in Good Shape
The Transfers are making excellent
Roadway in their efforts to get their
scale signed up, and their lines are
growing stronger every day. New mem
bers are being obligated, and the inter-
est shown in the meetings and the
discussion of union topics shows a
growing sense of the responsibilities
OF unionism.
Spring work is opening up in good
style. The outlook for lots of work on
the paving contracts, together with the
bright prospects on the interurban
road work, make the boys feel good.
Employers in the city are showing a
disposition to be fair, and Business
Agent Mcknight says he is making
good Roadway and melting with encour-
agement on all sides.

lieved in Gripping the liquor traffic as
much as possible and he had thought
high license the most feasible plan
until the present anti-saloon license
campaign was undertaken. Gripping
an evil' by imposing high license
upon it seems somewhat inconsistent
in minister of the gospel. The social
evil in this city is appalling. It is
prohibited by law, but the prohibition
amounts ito practically nothing. Would
Rev. Mr.. Batten advocate licensing
the social evil, and Gripping it" by
making the license high this year and
higher next year?

UNION REVIVAL MEETINGS
Plans all Laid for Gospel Campaign
Next Week

The great campaign for the evange-
lization of Lincoln have all been COM
pleted and the work will begin next
week. Union services are to be held
in three Lincoln churches during the
coming two weeks, and then more
meetings in other churches will fol-
low. The city has been districted by
the workers, and a steady and persist
ent effort has been made to arouse the
people. The Wageworker wishes this
gospel campaign the greatest possible
success. The city needs it, and the
people need it. The church has not
been doing it's full duty in the past,
and the people have been even more
derelict in doing their Christian duty
as individuals. A successful gospel
campaign will be mighty good thing
for everybody concerned.
The churches of East Lincoln have
combined and union services will be-
gin at the Grace NJ. E. church. Twenty
seventh and r streets, Sunday even
Ing. AC CONGREGATIONS anu lululSIeTS
of the central part of the city will join
next Sunday evening in a big meeting
at the First Baptist church, Fourteenth
and K streets. Preliminary meetings,
held by the pastors of South Lincoln
will begin Tuesday evening, April 4, at
the Trinity M. E. church, Sixteenth
and A streets. Hugh Smith of Los An
geles, Cal, who was present at the
Epworth assembly in Lincoln last
summer, will appear at Trinity church
Sunday evening, April 3, and he will
lead in the work of evangelism for the
South Side union hereafter. He comes
here from New York, where he has
been participating in a big evangelistic
meeting.

"A SPLENDID VICTORY
Hat and Cap Makers Win After a
Long and Earnest Fight

Hat and Cap Makers Win After a
Long and Earnest Fight +
Three weeks ago The Wageworker
printed an appeal in behalf of the
striking members of the United Cloth
Hat and Cap Makers. The men were
out to enforce the closed shop, and the
strike had then been in progress three
months. On March 20 the strike end
ed in a victory for the men all along
the line.
The New York cap makers, who
were trying to enforce the open
shop" conceded to the demands of the
union. The union is recognized, the
closed shop is agreed to and the mat
ter of wages settled satisfactorily to
all parties concerned. About 1900 men
were involved in the strike and they
stuck it out mapfully, the result being
victory for the closed shop.

Capital Auxiliary Notes

Our next meeting, April Z. will be
held at the home of Mrs. w. H. Creal,
1445 North Twenty-second street. Take
Twenty-seventh street cars, get off at
Holdrege and walk five blocks west.
The April social will be held in b.
hanan's hall. Wednesday, April 10. If
you have not attended one Of these So
Gals, do so; you will have good time.
It is hoped that these nice spring
days will bring out more of the G. AS
to our regular meetings. Don't make
any dates for the first and third Fri
days in the month, for that is when
we meet.
We have had two markets" in the
past, and have engaged day in May
at the Keystone" grocery for third.
These markets always enable us to
put nice little sum of money in our
treasury, through the willingness of
our members to donate home baking.
Have you noticed our framed union
labels" that are being placed in the
different store windows from week to
week by our label committee? II in
doubt as to just what a certain label
looks like, hunt up orr labels and
make a study of them.
Capital Auxiliary can tell you what
merchants have the following union
made goods for sale: Mems suits,
shirts, suspenders, ties, hats, caps.
shoes, overalls and jackets, black sat
cen shirts for small boys, also over
all suits and shoes. Monarch starch
has the union label and it's good, too.
Brooms, alas, we sweep with the nom
union article or not at all. Where are
the union broom-makers and what are
they doing?
Auxiliary-The definition of the
word is s'helping" Almost every wom-
an is willing, or ought to be, to help
her husband along his particular line
of business, and yet perhaps it has not
occurred to her how she may do SO.
Auxiliaries are not formed for social
features alone, although the writer re-
members that before the birth of Cap
ita1 Auxiliary one printer and his wife
was the limit of her acquaintance in
Lincoln. The many and dear friends
that have been made since that time
are almost without number. Still there
is another motive of great Importance
for joining an auxiliary-"Ask the
man." Prospective members have
been heard to remark, What good will
it do me?" Try it and see. Get out
of that rut, and if you want to broaden
your mind, join an auxiliary to your
husbands union. The following, taken
from the Boston letter in the Typo
graphical Journal for March, goes to
show that the unions can not get along
without us: "The growth Of the wom-
ans auxiliaries and expansion of the
woman's department of the Journal in

ing correspondents as well as willing

ADDRESSES LAsoRINe MEN
Gen. Kelsey Speaks to GoodIy Number
in Carpenters Hall Last Niqht


General T. c. Kelsey, president of
the Lincoln Central Labor Union, and
the man who took the Nebraska con
tingent of Coxey's army to Washing
ton about ten years ago, delivered an
address last evening in Carpenters
hall to quite a number of the laboring
men of Beatrice.
President Klose of the Beatrice La
Dor Union presided over the meeting,
which was one OF the most interesting
held in Beatrice in some time.
After being introduced, General KEEL
sey delivered a clear and concise ad-
dress on the labor question as it now
confronts the laboring man of today.
Among the principal points brought
out in his address are the following:
A closer relation between labor Or
CARNATIONS and business men gener-
ally.
More education in labor circles to
enable the laboring man to manage his
end of the proposition.
We must advocate chambers of COM
merce, commercial clubs, labor organi-
cations and farmers to get closer to-
gether, SO as to protect home industry
and prevent SO much commerce under
the mail order system. We should
spend the money at home and build
up our cities instead of the eastern
cities, in order to boom our own towns.
Organized labor should agitate, edu-
cate, investigate and arbitrate, SO as to
meet any and all problems, in order to
find a solution for the same.
General Kelsey is an entertaining
talker, and at the close of his address
many availed themselves OF the op-
portunity of meeting him.
It is believed his address will do
much towards Strengthening and put
ting new life into the labor organiza-
lions of Beatrice,-Beatrice Sun,
March 25.

A QUEER POSITION

Rev. Mr.. Batten Would Hardly Stand
the Logical Result
The Wageworker has entertained a
very high regard for Rev. Mr.. Batten,
and does so yet, despite his rather in
consistent attitude. Rev. Mr.. Batten
says what he thinks, and has the
courage of his convictions, and that is
an altogether too infrequent trait
tn the ministry these days of COM
mercialism and big donations OF
tainted money from the Rockefellers,
Carnegies and Morgans-
But on last Sunday afternoon Rev.
