THE SPLENDID NERVE OF 1T.

The Country Club, an organization
of gentlemen and ladies who can af-
ford to spend goodly portion of their
time in whacking golf balls, playing
bridge whist and dancing, seeks to
evafe the payment of city taxes, and
has asked that the Country Club
grounds be separated and declared out
side the city limits. The request was
not made until after the city had laid
a larger water main to the club
proaches at considerable expense. 1t
requires an immense nerve for the
Country Club to prefer such request,
but it seems to have had it.
If the Country Club will throw open
it's grounds to the general public. re-
gardless of membership in the organi-
zation, we will gladly advocate the re-
mission of city taxes. But unless that
is done the Country Club must pay up.
And any official who votes to release
the club from it's obligations to the
municipality will have red hot fire
started under him.
But We confess that We admire the
nerve of the Country Club, even more
than we do it's many whizzing automo-
biles, it's myriad of sparkling dia-
monds, it's wealth of dress suits and
decollette gowns and its knicker-
bockered golf ball whackers. A nerve
like that should be preserved in alco-
hol at the State University museum.

NOW FOR LABOR DAY.

The next great holiday will be Labor
Day, and the workingmen of Lincoln
should at once begin active prepara-
tions for the proper observance there
of. Every trades union in the city
should select member of the general
committee that will have the arrange
ments in charge, and every union
should begin now to make its section
of the parade something that will be
interesting to the general public and
credit to the union movement.
The celebration this year should
eclipse all former efforts. The unions
are stronger, the outlook is brighter
and the opportunities greater than
ever before. Let us all take off our

DIR. WINNETT WILL NOT DO.

A local daily paper is engaged in
the task of booming DR.. Winnett for
railroad commissioner, and offers
many reasons why he should be nomi-
mated, and if the unionists of Lancas-
ter county do their duty DR.. Winnett
will not have a look-in on the nomi-
nation.
The Wageworker is just as much in
favor of railroad rate legislation, re-
Guced passenger fares, more equitable
taxation and equal rates to all with
out rebate or special favor. as any
newspaper can be. 1t will oppose any
candidate who is tainted with corpor-
alton domination. But it will also op-
pose, and strenuously, any labor hater
who may happen to secure nomina-
ton for public Office on either of the
party tickets. Dr. Winnett has no use
for organized labor unless labor will
organize into a harmless body that
will conduct it's affairs on the pink tea
basis. He does not want union men
engaged on any worh he has done.
He prefers "scab' contractors and
"scab" carpenters, and by his actions
has declared that mechanics have no
business asking for shorter work
Gay.
Dr. Winnett will probably ask for
the Lancaster delegation to the repub-
lican state convention. If he does, the
union men of the county-and there
are several thousand of them-owe it
to themselves to get busy and see to
ii that DIR. Winnett is allowed to re-
main in private life. His opposition
to organized labor will be of less
avail.

There was $4,000 left to pay, which,

girls shouted this order to a score of
bricklayers working on the addition to
the Penn garment factory in Des
Moines last week and quit work until
the order was complied with. The
girls meant business. They have one
of the strongest unions in Iowa, and
when they saw union bricklayers at
work wearing non-union overalls there
was immediate trouble.
Geraldine Wilson was the girl who
called the matter to the attention of
her fellow-workers. ''They are wear
ing unfair trousers she said. How
do you know?" the girls asked in
chorus.

UNIoNIsTs SHOULD


Lancaster county is republican by a
huge majority. A nomination on the
republican ticket in this county is
equivalent to an election. For this
reason the republican unionists of the
county ought to get busy and see to
it that two or three good union men
are nominated for the legislature on
the republican ticket. There is plenty
of good legislative timber in the
trades unions of Lincoln, and there
is every reason why the unions should
have representatives in the next legis-
lature.
The Wageworker is going to sup
port any trades unionist of good char
acter who is nominated for public
Office, regardless of his politics. 1t
would be especially pleased to support
a couple of good union men for the
legislature. 1t would be good idea
for the republican unionists of the
city to get together and select a
couple of good men from their ranks,
and then ask the republican primaries
to endorse them. Let us get together
and make our unionism count for
something.

among printers as to the result of the
recent I. T. U. vote in the election of
one of the delegates to the A. F. of L.

candidates for trustees of the Union

got all about sending Secretary Bran

Shepard defeated Armstrong by two
votes, but should Boston's vote be
counted it would elect Armstrong, he
having received 431 votes there to
Shepard's $50.
If Boston's vote cannot be counted
it may also be held that Frank X. Fos-
ter is not eligible to election as dele
gate to the American Federation of
Labor, as he is a member of the Bos-
ton Union.
1t is expected that Boston Union will
enter a vigorous protest if its vote is
thrown out in the recent election, but
if it's delegates-elect are not seated for
the same reason it will be necessary
for Boston Union to prepare state
ment of it's case for consideration by
a special committee at the convention.
