the union men Of this city are not
doing their duty.
Another merchant in the same line
of business declared that there had
not been two men in his store in a
year who asked for labeled goods
If this merchant, too, is not mis-
taken, union men of Lincoln are
"scabbing" on their fellow unionists III
other trades.
And il these two merchants are cor
rect in their assertions, is it not about
time that union men and women in
Lincoln wake up, pay some attention
to their union obligations and quit
patronizing their industrial enemies.

THE BUYERS UNION.

Every Wage Garner Should Form One
of His Own.
Buyers Union are being organized in
different parts of the United States, the
chief purpose of which is to see that
union earned money is not spent for
strike breaking purposes, nor to en-
courage the employment of cheap la
Dor and the open shop.
The organizers Of the Buyers Union
act upon the fact that the union mem
Der who purchases npn-union goods is
throwing away the greatest advantage
labor has in placing its purchasing
power where it can do the most good:
that the complete solidarity Of labor
depends as much upon the refusal of
the union member to buy non-union
goods as upon the faithful adherence
to any other union principle.
The Buyers Union pledges it's mem
bers to buy none but Union Labelled
goods, and takes measures to secure
the introduction of such goods in all
OF education and agitation for the I'm
ion Label, can win better results for
labor than can be secured in any other
way
Every union member ought to act
on the principle of the Buyers Union,
anyhow, whether there is such an or
ganization in his own locality or not,
for the silent strike" is the most eff
fective strike, and the silent strike"
cannot fail to win.+Streator Trades

10 THIS TRUE?

One day this week the editor OF The
Wageworker put this question to
merchant in this city:
"Is it not true that the demand for
labeled goods is greater now than IT
was two years ago."
And the merchant instantly replied:
mo, it is not true. The demand
is less today than it was two years
ago."
Now. one Of two things Is true

ARE YOU A "SCAB"

Are you "scab?"
That is fair question, and it de-
serves fair answer. Now, don't get
mad and fly off the handle and cuss
the editor for asking it.
o, you've got paid up union card
in your pocket, have you?
Well, a paid up union card does not
make a union man of the man who
carries it any more than the sign CT
the cross makes Christian or a long
prayer means piety.
1t takes more than a paid up union
card to make union mana whole
lot more. Now let's see if you've got 1t.
You insist on union men patroniz-
ing the members Of your craft when
they want work done, don't you? And
Il they fail to do SO you boiler your
head off and talk about "scabs."
That's all right-you've got "hol-
Ter" coming.
But how about you? Are you pat
ronizing "scabs?" Just "frisk" your
self before you answer that question.
That's a "scab" hat you have on.
isn't it? o, you forget to look for the
label Ell? But you never forget TO
"holler" If anybody employs "scab''
at your trade, do you?
And that's "scab" suit of clothes
you have on, isn't it? o, you couldn't
ret a union made suit that pleased
YOU, Ell? Well, you are ''scab" just
the same. You "scabbed" on the gar
ment workers when you bought it, and
you are not a bit better than the
"scab" garment workers that made the
srit.
And your shoes? Made in peni.
tcntiary.
Your shirt? Made in a sweat shop
Collar? "Scab" like the rest of you
And yet you claim to be union
man. There is no more unionisrn
sbout you than there is religion about
Salan. Your unionism is all selfish

20, can't get union made goods:
You are a liar, as well as "scab. =
You can get union made goods. 1t may
cost you little extra effort, but you
can get them. Every time you buy
"scab" goods you lie, for you break
your obligation as unionist. The
"strikebreaker" is a nickleplated angel
compared to the union man who wears
'scab" clothing, "scab" shoes or ''scab"
anything else.
The merchants of Lincoln are laugh
They can make a bigger profit on
"scab" goods because they can buy
them cheaper and charge as much.
And then they gull you union men into
buying them by telling you that the
Union made goods are inferior, that
this or that line gives better service for
the money, or some other kind of econ"
talk, and then you swallow it and act
as if you like it. AS long as the mer-
chants can play you for suckers" like
that they'll do it. AS soon as you get
wise and refuse anything that isn't
labeled, the merchants will tear their
silk underwear in their efforts to get
tie labeled goods. And if you union
lists don't make the merchants tear
their silken underwear in this right
ecus cause, then you are not the right
kind Of union men.
Don't you think it Is time to quit
"scabbing" on your fellow unionists?
Get right!

The average wage of the union men
OF Lincoln is more than $12 week,
and the average workday is less than

hours a week, and it is doubtful II
their wages average So week.

All Right.

There is a man in our town,
Named William Johnnie Wise,
Who always looks for labels with
The strength of two good eyes.
And when he fails to see the mark
He loudly shouts, "Nay, nay.
will not take your 'scabby' stuff;
l bid you all good day."
EIe has the label on his shoes,
His clothing and his hat;
Upon his cuffs and collars, too,
Likewise on his cravat
He has a paid-up union card,
A conscience that is clear;
For on all goods that he doth buy
The label doth appear.
Now, Mr.. Union Man, bark We!
We earnestly advise
That you make haste to emulate
Good William Johnny Wise.
Don't "scab" upon your fellow men
And all the while insist
That just because you hold a card
You are unionist.

The Hungarian Crisis.

The perennial Austrja-Hungaria n troubles
have been brought once more to a crisis.
For many years Hungary has strained to
secure release from the ausgleich or agree

ana customs have accentuated the natural
antagonism of the two peoples until the
longevity of the partnership has become
one OF the political wonders of Eurone

force the adoption of a straight-out policv

the situation, which came to a climax to-
day with the dissolution of the Hungarian
parliament by force. It is necessary to bear
in mind the fact that there are in effect
three parliamentary bodies in the dual
kingdom. Each nation has It's own legis-
lature, and these two act upon matters
relating to the joint government. But the
voting of money to be applied to the COM
mon uses and the control of the official
action OF the common ministries belong

the two upper houses and forty from each

king-Francs Joseph being king of Hun

So overwhelming was the defeat of the
British unlonists in the recent elections
that political observers are all at sea re-
garding the prospect for the session OF par

immediate interest is the fact that this is
the first time King Edward has officiated
at the converting of new parliament, al
though he has occupied the throne on six
other occasions when the houses have re-
assembled after recess.
The remarkable success OF the liberal
party in the recent elections has material

may spell something much more radical

1t is Somewhat appalling news that the
standard Of female beauty is declining in
America. If there was one gertrude in our
shifting social order, it was that our women
were not only the best, but also the best
looking in the world. Change We might
be willing to admit. The big and ruddy
maidens who wear sweaters and thunder
down the porches of a thousand country
clubs are certainly unlike the youthful por-
traits of their mothers in hoops and CHG
mons; but here We were told to look for
progress and the emancipation of woman
hood Decline, no male American has been
so indiscreet as to admit, and as matter
of fact the impending campaign for the
restoration of American beauty is to be cap
tanned by one of the still fair If deteriorat-
ing sex. The case must be worse than any
one had imagined, for two authors of some
repute are making a special trip to Paris
to fetch over an apostle of the beautiful.
She is first to ascertain the present state o.
beauty In America, and next to take such
remedial measures as may be necessary
There Is to be no tritiing with the problem.

John A. Mccall.

John A. Mccall, in his last moments, de-
clared that he was not conscious of having
wronged man, woman or child in his Office
of president of the New York Life Insur-
anee Company. The statement, unquestion-
ably sincere, interprets the man and his en-
vironment
Mr. Mccall was born and brought up at
Albany. From his youth he was familiar
with the remarkable mixture of politics and
business which has always accomplished re-
suits at that capital. He knew the situa-
ton as the saying is. from the ground up.
In fact he knew nothing else. A handsome
man, of hearty address, he had the knack
of making friends and finding his way
through difficult surroundings. Nice dis
tinctions were not in his line. If they had
been his election to the presidency of the
corporation over which he presided would
never have occurred. He was the embodt-
ment of get there" He could show re-
suits, and that was what his employers
wanted.
We see in this the explanation of the en-
ployment of Judge" Hamilton to look after
the legislative lend of things" and the
contributions to the political campaign
funds-the two acts which subjected Mr.
Mccall to the greatest criticism. He prob
some of them men of high social. business
and political standing-were not employed
at Albany for the purpose either of pro-
noting or defeating legislation. From the
ordinary viewpoint-and that was the Nc
Call yiewpoint-it was an everyday, almost
a legitimate. ransaction. SO that when he
felt he needed a man, he employed his old
friend Hamilton, and gave him carte
blanche to round up the cattle whenever 1t
seemed best.
AS for the political contributions, Mr.
Mccall reasoned as the money magnates
all around him were reasoning. The fear
of Organism was universal In that latitude.
Everybody with money in hand, or notes
coming due, was subscribing to prevent the
depreciation of the national credit, which,
as they thought. would follow the success
at the polls of Mr.. Bryan and his extraordl-
nary aggregation of political heelers.
That he had no right, legal or moral, TO

cept quite beyond a man of Mr.. McCall's
bringing up and associations. He was sim
