He Gives Mr.. Parry a Pointer on How
to Work up Reputation.
Herbert N. Casson, the preacher
journalist, has studied the labor ques-
ton as thoroughly, perhaps, as any
other man in the country. He is an
ardent unionist and urges every man
to join labor union. He realizes that
unionism has come to stay, and be-
lieves that its influence for good is
rapidly growing. Referring to the eff
forts of David M. Parry and his ilk to
destroy labor unions, Mr.. Casson said:
Before Mr.. Parry undertook the task
of destroying labor unions he should
have undertaken the task Of stopping
the grass from growing, of the clouds
from dropping rain, or the flowers from
following buds. When he comes to at
tack trades unions they may well say
to him: Got and get reputation for
doing impossible things, and after you
have accomplished that we may think
it worth while to notice you.'" +

selected by Mr.. Gregory to deliver his
coal after he had refused to reinstate
the teamsters who struck. Mr.. Car
ter told a representative CT The Wage
worker that he didn't care whether his
teamsters belonged to the union or
not; that he never asked man wheth-
er he was union, and did not care. He
refuses. however, to recognize the
union, and as result no union men
in good standing are in his employ at
the present time. He told Gregory's
they refused to a man.
Business Agent Mcknight has been
busy for a couple of weeks visiting
around town and explaining the objects
CT the union to the women. He reports
that as result there is an increased
demand for a sight of the union card
before coal can be delivered, and this
is having good effect On the employ
ment of union men. Mr.. Mcknight has

Coal hauling has been slack during

THE PREACHER MAcHlNlsT.

He Is Working to Bring Ministers and
Mechanics into Closer Fellowship.
Rev Charles Stelzle is a Presbyter-
ian minister who is working in a field
that we hope will prove successful be-
yond his highest expectations. He be-
lieyes there should be more religion
among union men and more unionism
among the ministers OF the church.
He is travelling over the country
preaching to employers, ministers and
union men. Having been a machin-
list before becoming minister, he I'M
derstands the hopes, aspirations, am
billions, trials and tribulations of the
toilers. He believes the church can
learn something from the union man
and the union man can learn some
thing from the church. The LabOrer
enjoyed a visit from him last Satur-
day. because so many of his ideas CO.
icide exactly with. our own on the
labor problem. Mr.. Stelzle is to be in
Omaha for ten days.-Western Laborer.

business man was manifested in the
eulogistic words spoken by his bust
ness competitors when they heard of
his sudden death. Mr.. Fitzgerald first
engaged in business in Lincoln four
teen years ago, beginning in very
modest way, and by enterprise, sa-
gacity and strict attention to details,
soon became one of the foremost mer-
chants of the state. In all public works
he was leader, and his aid could be
counted on when it was necessary to
|secure men who would work for the
betterment of Lincoln's business and
social conditions. AS an employer he
had the respect and confidence of his
employees, and his death comes to them
as personal bereavement The fune-
raj was held Thursday and was at
tended by vast concourse of people.
In Mr.. Fitzgerald's death Lincoln
loses citizen who has done much for
the city, a business man who had as
listed materially in making Lincoln
known far and near in the commercial
world, and an employer who had an
honest mans regard for the rights of
those who worked for wage.

THE BARRIERS.

Robert Strain, treasurer Of Lincoln
local and one of it's delegates to the
Central Labor Union, was laid up last
week by an attack of grip. He is at
work again but is not feeling quite as
young as usual.
Charles Bowen has come off victor
in a little bout with sickness, but he
didn't escape without bearing some
marks OF the tussle.
Just as soon as their attention was
called to it nearly every union barber
in the city sidetracked the shaving pa
per bearing the advertisement of a
non-union cigar. Since then an enter
prising manufacturer or two of Lincoln
provided similar paper advertising
union made goods.
Most of the cigars sold in Lincoln
shops bear the label, and the prefer
ence is given to Lincoln made goods.

CAN'T GET THE FUNDS

Large Sum of Money Held Up BY De-
cision OF Court
The heirs of the late George Kleu-
tsch of Lincoln, through Sheriff Ress
Of Lancaster county, are barred from
attempting to levy on the property OF
the Security Mutual Life Insurance
company of Lincoln to satisfy judg-
ment Of $1,000. 80 secured lately In Hall
county by default. The action of the
Hall county tribunal is also set aside.
This decision was handed down by
Judge Cornish. It was claimed by tho
defense that proper service was not
had in Hall county. One of its agents
had been served with notice. OF the
bringing Of the suit. but he was not
an official of the company; thereby
the service was not of the right kind.
The suit grows out of dispute over
the payment of certain premium by
the deceased. It is claimed by the in
surance company that the policy had
lapsed, and that the receipt that
showed the policy was alive had been
mistakenly dated.

BURIED THEIR coMRADE.

The membership of Local No. 1866,
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, was recently called upon to
mourn the death of their fellow union
list, John H. Hoffman Mr.. Hoffman
died on February 10. At a regular
meeting of the union recently resolu-
lions of sorrow were unanimously
adopted and ordered spread upon the
records of the local. The union was
largely represented at the funeral Mr.
Hoffman was well liked by his fellow
unionists and his death not only re-
moves a kind husband and father, but
deprives the union of a member whose
services were valuable.

orphans was started at once and now
who keep track of the mine accidents

why miners are so active in unionism
1t is their only protection against mine
conditions that would increase their
already perilous hazard, and it affords
some measure of relief for their de-
pendent families.

THE PRInTEHs:-
5OOOOOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOO

Lincoln Typographical Union No. 209
met in special session last Sunday,
and the meeting was unusually large.
The executive committee had an
rounced that it was ready to submit a
report of some kind on the proposed
new scale, and if a printer was absent
it was because something was keeping
him. The report offered by the COM
mittee was listened to with great in
terest and then the real work of the
meeting began. The printers glappled
the situation with earnestness and
aood sense, and the results are bound
TO be satisfactory to all parties con-
|cerned. The regular March meeting
will be held next Sunday, and at that
thine the new contract and scale will
undoubtedly be finally settled. AS soon
as everything is settled The. Wage
worker will endeavor to enlighten the
laboring public to the extent permitted
by the rules of the union.
Trouble started in Kansas City last
week, and as result about twenty
machines went dark. Both sides are
claiming to be in the right, and until
full particulars are learned The Wage
worker has no comment to make. But
the union men are standing out and
there is some tall hustling being done
for operators.
The man who is always so free to
talk about his willingness to walk"
is always the man who has no wife and
babies who would be compelled to
walk with him.
During last Sundays session the
name of the international vice presi-
dent. Mr.. Hayes of Minneapolis, was
mentioned and brought out a cheer.
This may be straw.
The printing business is unusually
good at the present time, and capable
men have no difficulty in finding steady
employment.

every week, refused to put up dollar

Philadelphia is still keeping UP the
fight and at the same time causing the
international executive committee TO
lose some sleep. Philadelphia is vital
to the international, and it deserves
more help than it is getting.
Frank O. Martin, superintendent of
the printing department of the Combe
Printing Co., st. Joseph, claims to be
the first man that ever pitched curved
ball in a game.

ago. and while there Columbia handed
him a package containing fine roast

towards Philadelphia.
Vice President Hayes was in Kansas
City last week, trying to ravel out the
snarl in that city.
