LAW AND ORDER MEETING.
League at Italy to- Employ Detective

The Italy Law and order League
met with number of other citizens
al the Baptist church Sunday even
ing in an important meeting A
committee which was appointed at a
previous meeting to consult with
legal counsel concerning the sale Of
malt tonic and other similar bever-
ages by dealers at that place report
ed that all such dealers who We're
dispensing such drinks were not yio-
lating any law, and further prosecu-
tion was unnecessary and unwise. A
resolution was also passed that the
services of a detective be employed
in assisting the officers to arrest all
riolators of the local option law.
Other committees were appointed and
the meeting adjourned to meet at
the Methodist church the next place
of meeting.
Saturday afternoon two travelling
drummers for a leading wholesale
whiskey house of Dallas were met by
a committee appointed for that pur-
pose by the Law and Order League
and instructed not to solicit any more
orders there The drummers politely
obeyed the request and said they
would not further solicit orders in
Italy if the citizens did not welcome
them. The drummers packed their
sample cases and bade the town fare

A Workingman Gives
Some Very Sound Advice

Lincoln, Nebr.. May 16-To the Edi-
tor of The Wageworker: 1 was read
ing last week an article in your paper
on the eight-hour and Saturday half
holiday subjects, in which you gave
Bishop McCabe some good advice But
1t seems to me you omitted one of the
strongest arguments for your plea.
The greatest need of the working
class today is competent, intelligent
leaders, and the fact that such men
as McCabe, Eliot of Harvard, nearly
all the judges, capitalists, trusts, mine
operators, ETC., are bitterly opposed,
not to the mistakes of the unions but
to the principle of unionism when prac-
ticed by the workers though they re-
gard it as all right for the employers,
shows that the leaders of the working
class must belong to the working class,
and those mechanics and others who
have the eight-hour day owe it to their
fellows to employ their leisure time,
not in fun and social enjoyment, but
in reading and study and mental i'm
provement. When workingmen get
their eyes open they will cease to vote

each of the old favorites upon their
appearance, and this welcome was es-
pecially hearty to Jess Fulton, Miss
Enid Jackson, Miss Belle Jackson, Mr.
Castlebury and Miss Bowman. There
is no doubt about the place this splen-
did stock company has won in the
hearts of Lincoln people.
During the summer engagement a
number of entirely new bills will be
rendered together with such of the old
favorites that have improved by the
lapse of time. The specialties be-
tween acts will be new and pleasing,
and nothing left undone that might
add to the pleasure and comfort of the
patrons Of the Oliver. The unionists
of Lincoln will remember with pleas
ure the successful benefit rendered the
Central Labor Union last season by
this company. Mr.. Fulton has already
announced himself as ready to repeat
the benefit performance at such time
as the central body and himself can
agree upon. The Wageworker is glad
to welcome the old favorites back, and
hopes that this season will be a record
breaker in point of patronage.

all legislative power into the hands of
their opponents. 1t has been a hard
fight for the last twenty-five years to
get the improved conditions which
they now enjoy, but as long as all leg
islative power is in the hands of their
employers those conditions are con-
stantly in danger. In England the
working classes have sent nearly fifty
of their members into parliament, and
the results are already seen and felt.
In the United States congress there
are none. Lawyers and capitalists
have it all to themselves. A mechan-
les, however, to be eligible to any leg
fs1atfve Office must have not only
trained hands but a trained mind, and
the eight-hour day gives him chance
to get it. The plea that after eight
hours of good honest work man can
not study, but must have play, is all
nonsense and is a disgrace to the man
that makes it. Our conditions today
call for manliness, and men who would
be free must not only claim freedom
but fit themselves for it, and then take

HERE'S A CHANCE.
Why Not Have a Labor Headquar

Why Not Have a Labor Headquar-
ters" That Are creditabIe?
Pending the discovery of ways and
means for the erection of a Labor
Temple, the unions of this city should
have some central meeting place
where business may be transacted,
friends entertained and men sought
when needed. The old Commercial
Club headquarters in the Free Press
building are vacant and may be rented
at very reasonable figure. There are
two large halls, smaller hall, fine
parlor and a large rotunda with Office
for a secretary A cigar stand, to-
gether with billiard tables, would go
long ways towards paying the run
ming expenses. If the unions would
take the halls and pay as much for
them as they now pay for less desir
able halls, the needed revenue would
be secured.
The Wageworker suggests that the
Central Labor Union take hold of the
matter and see what it can do. The
quarters indicated would serve well in
lieu of Labor Temple.

chants awake to the situation, it will
not be long until the merchants get
busy to head off the business of buy
ing elsewhere.
The Wageworker asks every union
man and woman into whose hands this
paper may fall, to sign the following
pledge, a proper blank being found
elsewhere, and send-it to "The Wage.
WORKER" 1916 G St., Lincoln:
~ hereby promise that under no cir
stances will purchase any non-union
clothing, shoes, hats, caps, shirts, col
lars, cuffs, brooms or other non-union
made articles Of common use, such as
are made somewhere by union labor,
and that I will become member Of
the Union Buyers League, and join
with my fellow unionists In buying
these articles union made Of some
dealer In this or another city who
handles the product Of fair labor"
If the merchants of this city con-
tinue to put the union made goods at
the bottom of the stacks and push nom
union goods, let them sell their nom
union stuff to non-unionists. If the
$2,500,000 spent annually by union
labor is not worth the effort to get
union made goods, let us spend it with
merchants elsewhere who do want the
trade bad enough to cater to it.

Organize a Union Buyers
League IN Lincoln Nowl

The Wageworker has been making
quiet little investigation into GER
tain lines Of business during the past
three weeks, and the state of affairs
found therein are disgrace to union
ism. 1t shows that the union men of
this city are criminally negligent in
the matter of demanding the union
label.
It is fact, and a scandalous fact,
that not one suit of clothes in twenty
sold over the counters in Lincoln
bears the label of the United Garment
Workers. One of the largest clothing
stores in Lincoln-the B. L. Paine Co.
admits that it has not got union
made suit of clothing in stock. A
search through another clothing store
revealed the presence of a few union
made suits, and they were stuck at the
bottom of huge piles of "scab" cloth

why don't you get it out where it
can be SEEM" was asked of one Of the
proprietors.

made clothing and we don't show 1t
unless the customer absolutely de-
mands the label"
Three fourths Of the clothing sold in
this city ought to be union made.
Union men have it within their power
to compel this state of affairs, and If
they fail to, exercise that power they
are untrue to their obligations.
The Wageworker proposes the or
ganization of "Union Buyers
! League" the membership of which
shall pledge itself to purchase only
union made clothing, hats. caps, shoes,
shirts, collars, cuffs, brooms, and other
articles that are made somewhere by
union labor. The $500 union men and
women Of this city spend not less than
$2,5OO,OO0 a year with the merchants
of this city. AS long as they spend 1t
without regard to the union label the
merchants will continue to offer non
union goods for the reason that non
union goods can be bought cheaper
and sold at equal prices. This gives
the merchant better proft-and the
merchant, like the rest Of us, is look.
ing for the best of it.
Take the matter of union made
shoes for women. It is next to impos-
sible to get them in Lincoln. "Scab''
shoes are offered in plenty, and when
the merchant is asked why he does not
carry a larger line of union made
shoes for women he replies: 1--WE
can't get them" But merchants in
other cities can and do get them. They
are made in all sizes, styles and quail.
ties. The merchants simply do not
want to be put to the trouble of get
ting them. That Is the reason. And
as long as the wives of union men con
sent to take the "scab" goods there Is
no reason why the merchant should
exert himself to get the union made
articles.
But the union men and women Of
the city have the power to compel Mr.
Merchant to go to the trouble. If we
refuse absolutely to buy the "scab'
goods, and form a Union Buyers
