THE CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Will Meet Christmas Night and Should
Be Well Attended.

The Central Labor Union will meet
next Tuesday evening, and although
that will be Christmas night it should
be the largest meeting of the year.
1t is hoped to settle up in full the
finances of the labor fair, and all who
have not reported on tickets are ex-
pected to make final reports at this
meeting The money or the tickets
must be on hand The piano contest
still hangs fire, and it, too, must be
settled at this meeting.
This will be the last meeting of
the old year, and for this and the
other reasons given it should be the
largest and most enthusiastic meet
ing of the year. The central body will
begin the new year with we'll
stocked treasury and the ability to
accomplish good work if the union
men will take hold and push. The
body was never in better shape, nor
the possibilities for good work never
greater. Let every delegate take right
a-hold and help make 1907 the banner
year in the history of the labor move
ment in Lincoln and vicinity.

A BULWARk OF THE UNION.
The Kind Of Man Who Does Most For
Organized Labor. :


He who is thrifty and sober and
provides for his family
He who has the good sense to know
that success of the union depends up
on getting others to join it.
He whose sense of honor will not
permit him to take advantage of a
fellow worker.
He who is opposed to disorder at
meetings and shows due respect for
the presiding officer, assisting him in
all efforts to conduct things decently
and in order.
He who loves peace, preferring not
to fight the employer, yet is sensitive
to unjust treatment and is not a
coward.
He who when he goes on a strike
stays out until the wrong is righted.
He whose card is always clear.
He who is not a knocker, but by
force Of logic opposes all foolish mo-
tions and insists upon the passage of
all good ones.
He who is mentally broad enough
to perceive that there are other hon.
est ones besides himself-Coopers'

A DOUBLE BENEFIT.

The enterprising merchants who
erected booths at the labor fair Sc
cured double benefit. Not only did

Dor fair, but at, the corn show the fol-
