day and an increase in wages. An in
crease of two cents an hour, already
offered the switchmen, was repeated,
but the men were told that this would
be all that would be obtained The
refusal also applies to all organiza-

wages. The switchmen's officials say
that there will be no strike action until
a referendum vote has been taken.

HANDiWoRk OF UNIoNIsTs.
Shows to Advantage In the Woodwork
Of New Postoffice.

There are three splendid points
about Lincolns new government build
| ing: First, the building itself; second,
| the interior woodwork, and third, the
fact that the interior woodwork is not
but the handiwork of union men.
Every bit of the woodwork in the new
postoffice was made by Lincoln union
men in a Lincoln mill, and nothing
handsomer or better was ever put
into building. That is not only the
verdict of all who have visited the
building, but it is the verdict Of the
supervising architect, and he certainly
knows what he is talking about. From
the huge and magnificent front doors,
with their splendid carvings and high
polish, to the f1agpole that surmounts
the structure, every stick was turned
out of the Lincoln Sash and Dool
Mills, and that concern employs only
union carpenters and joiners and
union painters. This contract was the
only one of any Importance carried
of by local concern. Quarter sawed
oak highly polished and hand carved
and fitted with the skill of highly
trained workmen, present an effect at
once rich and subdued, and make the
buildings interior the handsomest of
any public, building in the entire west.
The Wageworker is not alone proud
that Lincoln concern showed it's abil-
| ity to turn out such high grade of
work. It is even prouder Of the fact
that it was turned out under union
conditions-turned out by men who
are paid a fair days wage for a fair
days work, performed under satisfac-
tory conditions and surroundings. 1t
proves that Lincoln has mill that is
equal to the best anywhere in the
country, and it proves that Lincoln
union carpenters and joiners are the
best to be found in the business. This
is enough to make every unionist in
the city feel good.
When Mayor Brown, president of
the Lincoln Sash and Door Mill Co.,
secured the contract for this branch
of the work, he issued orders that it
was to be done in the very best man.
ner. More than $4,000 was spent in
the carving alone. When the time
came to fit the panneling it had been
turned out with such exactness that
every piece fitted to nicely. The
company's policy of securing the best
workmen by paying the best wages
and recognizing the unions has been
| vindicated by the magnificent results
as shown in the interior woodwork of
Lincoln's new government building
Il will stand for decades as an ad-
vertisement for the company and for
the union men who performed the
skilled labor.

EFFORT TO SETTLE STRIKE.
Good Officers Of National Civic FEEDER
alton rendered.


In response to a telegraphic tender
of it's good officers. in the hope Of
bringing about settlement of the
strike of machinists in the shops bf
the Southern railway, the Knoxville
board of trade received the following
telegram from H. B. Spencer, general
manager of the Southern: '
'The company and its officers ap-
preciate fully the interest of Knoxville
in the machinists' strike. and we are
desirous of settling it promptly and
equitably. 1t has been agreed. at the
suggestion of the Hon. Seth Low,
chairman of the national civic feder-
atiop,s that our president will-meets the
president of the machinists' associa-
ton and the local committee of the
machinists in an effort to make such
adjustment"

is THIS A SQUARE DEAL?
University Band, Maintained by State
Displaces Musicians.

Displaces Musicians.
This is not politics-it is plain
matter of justice and fair play. The
University band furnished the music
for a political rally at the auditorium
Wednesday night. The University band
is maintained by the state. It's mem
bers are educated by the state. What
right has this band to butt in and dis
place musicians who earn a part of
the taxes they pay for the support of
the state university by playing in pro-
fessional bands? Why shouldn't the
state university supply hod-carriers,
and bricklayers, and printers, and
pressmen, and other kinds of labor.
iii competition with taxpayers, if it
is going into the competitive business
A lot of Lincoln musicians, many of
them taxpayers, depend for consid-
cradle portion of their livelihood upon
their ability to secure occasional mus
ical engagements. Is it fair that a
band supported by the people at large
should compete with the very men
who support it?
The Wageworkerp has every inter-
est in the university. It's editor once
attended university, and he knows
a thing or two about college life. But
he never "scabbed" on the men whose
money gave him chance to secure
something of an education
The University band should be used
exclusively for university purposes,
and it should never be allowed to come

ical talents. The university author

COUNCILMAN WOODWARD'S
VIEWS.
Expresses Hearty Sympathy With
Aims and Objects of Unionisnn.


Editor Wage Worker:-I have been
carefully watching the editorials of
your paper. The doctrine you advo-
cate meets with my hearty approval.
Organized labor comprises in its mem
hership good citizens, as good as any
municipality can boast of. 1t it were
not for strikes, the world would hear
but little of the good or bad of organ
ized labor, and yet the greatest OF
American statesmen within the mem
ory of living men once said, Thank
God we have a system where there
can be strikes. Whatever the pres
sure, there is a point where the work
ingman may stop" President Lincoln
Hartford in 1860 when referring to
the Lynn shoemakers' great strike.
l believe every leader OF organized
labor is opposed to strikes, but be-
lieving that the only solution of a
difficulty lies in a strike, reluctantly
consent as last resort.
Our population is composed largely
of the so-called middle classes, and
the prosperity of those as well as all
classes depends on good wages. The
merchants, the professional men-all
are less prosperous when the working
man has less money. We are apt to
lose sight of the all-important fact
that faces the whole people, namely
laboring men spend their money free
ly and do not lock it UP to rust. A
man in Philadelphia, who had a stall
ic the market for over forty years.
said to me he would rather have the
trade of one laboring man that the
trade Of three rich men. Business Is
sustained by the every day purchase
OF the necessities of life and not by
the occasional purchase of luxuries.
Every business man owes a large debt
to trade unions, for they will insist
on good living wages. The unions
have become power and are growing
stronger every day, and their powe,
Is felt at the ballot box, and the party

terest is entitled to their support. Cap
ital no longer controls the system we
now hav in voting; it gives man the
right to vote according to his own
convictions.
In 1885 the laboring man was getting
but IS cents for twelve hours worn,
this being a days work. Girls re-
ceived but $1.25 per week in factories
and worked from S a. nj. to z D. IN.
Wages were so low that they found
they must organize, which they did,
and Immediately there was change
in the laboring mans home. In To-
calities where labor unions fiourished,
wages went up and hours of labor
were materially reduced, business i'm
proved and prosperity followed. By
means of strikes, protests and peti-
tions, the hours of hard labor were
reduced and all business improved.
Organized labor has ever been a
school for it's members. They are
taught patriotism and that law and
order must be recognized. Organized
labor has ever fought the battles of
our country Free schools and free
books have come mainly through their
efforts. Every labor law on our
statutes can be traced to their efforts,
and when these organizations are
completely under the control of honest
men with honest intent, it will be the

Union labor is amply and justly
paid for; strikes and discomfort are
sure to exist. The way to prevent
strikes and dissatisfaction is to keep
labor employed at remunerative
wages.

CUTTER TO BE REMODELED.
The Forward Will Be Made Practical
~ as Good as New.

The United States revenue cutter For
ward, which has been in service on the
Key West station, is now at Baltimore and
is to be generally remodeled before return
ing to active service. The vessel is now at
shipyard, where she is to be practically
rebuilt She is also to have her engines
and machinery overhauled and put In thor
ough order When the vessel returns to
service which will not be for several
months, she will be thoroughly equipped.

Del, in 1889 and is a vessel of 435 tons
displacement. The contract price for the
repairs to be made to her was SIS, 26O.39.
The gunboat Bancroft which was turned
over to the revenue cutter service by the
Navy Department several months ago to
be used as training ship for the cadets
of the revenue service, has been renamed
the Itasca. The work of preparing the
specifications for the changes to be made
in the vessel to fit her for her new services
is being pushed. and it is understood that
bids for the work to be done on her will
be asked for some time in the latter part
Of this month. The Itasca Is to take the
place of the old bark Chase as the cadet
ship of the service.
