that no book should be taken out OF the
library on any pretext whatsoever by any

LABEL LEAGUE SOCIAL.

Union Women Preparing to Entertain
Friends in Royal Style.
The Woman's Union Label League
is preparing a pleasant entertainment
for their friends, and the function will
be held at Central Labor Union hall
next Monday evening. Refreshments
will be served and after a short pro-
gram as a starter those who enjoy the
merry dance will be given an oppor-
tunity to indulge. The League has al
ways scored good success in it's ef-
forts to entertain its friends, and on
this occasion the members will en-
deavor to beat all former records. All
union men and women and their
friends are cordially invited to attend
this social, and a good time is assured
all who are present.
After a period of comparative quiet
the Label League has taken on new
life and is preparing to get into the
union game with more energy and en-.
thusiasm than ever. These loyal WON.

lists, and If they get it they will be able
to accomplish great deal for the
cause of organization.

pledges signed by members of the
Pressmen's and Assistants Union of

our boosts for the label count for

Remember that when you sign this

pay cent. There will be no dues, no
assessments, no hard and fast bylaws
except one demanding the label. The
plan will strike you favorably as soon
as you hear it. We want $50 signers
before the first meeting is called. We
have less than 100 as yet. Now get

The Man With the Patch

The day of the man with the patch
is coming.
We have had premonitions of that
happy event, and are having concrete
indications of it every day.
Mayor Schmitz, the union labor
musician of San Francisco, showed
what a union labor official could do in
all emergency.
Mayor James e. Burke, the black
smith mayor of Burlington, VT, who
works for portion of every day at
the forge, is the most popular man
IL his city.
Both men carry the union labor
card. They are the very essence of
the democracy of Thomas Jefferson ir
the simplicity of their lives, the di-
rect honesty of their methods and
the purity of their motives.
They are going to put the name of
James E. Burke at the head of the
state democratic ticket in Vermont
He's radical and a union man, but
| he is of and with the common people.
l. He works at the forge every day.
He earns his bread by the sweat of
his brow, and his honest hand is ever
| ready to lend assistance to a brother
workingman.
| One day recently few well-to-do
citizens on an exclusive street want

A Working Girl Scores
On a Society Leader

Incompetent to do it for themselves"
That is calculated to hold the irate,
hysterical and insulting Mrs. Chivvis
for while. People who wonder why
it is SO hard to get girls to work in
the kitchens may be enlightened by
taking note of the actions of this Mrs.
Chivvis. Self-respecting and inde-
pendent girls can not be blamed for
refusing to engage in kitchen work
for such women. The servant girl
problem will be solved just as soon
as the women who want to employ
them learn how to treat working girls.
A little incident happened right here
in Lincoln a few weeks ago. A
woman whose husband is only an &C
countant in Lincoln wholesale
house recently secured the services Of
a servant girl" This woman is do
ing her best to make front" in
high sassiety, and when she reached
the dignity of engaging a servant"
she grew very chesty. The telephone
in this woman's home is in the sitting
room. A few days after the girl went
to work she wanted to call up her
mother and without stopping to ask
permission, stepped into the sitting
room and called up. The mistress of
the house saw her and angrily ex-
claimed:
"You mustn't come in here unless
send for you!"
The free born, Independent Amer
lean girl, whose family is just as good
or better-than that of her employ
er, hung up the phone, turned face
to face with the lady of the house and
said:

body. You may hire another girl if
you can"
And the girl packed her trunk and
won't home.
There is no servant girl problem"
in this country. 1t is the lady of the
house problem And Mrs. Chivvis
Of ST. Louis has given good demon
stration of why girls refuse to become
servants. We hope Miss Casey's re-
tort will finally manage to percolate
through the thick skulls of Mrs Chiv-
Wis and her st. Louis bunch.

Some Great Victories
Won by Union Labor

From a circular issued by the de-
fense committee Of Typographical
Union No. 6, it appears that, although
not neglecting the other ends of the
fight with the New York Typothetae,
the union is concentrating all its en-
ergies at present on the Butterick
Publishing company and McClure's
Magazine. This, moreover, it is doing
in perfectly legal manner, for it JUS
titles all it's action behind an injunc-
ton obtained by the Butterick COM
pany, but which Justice Blanchard of
the Supreme Court, considerably modi-
fed.
That the union is not making los
ing fight is amply proven by a state
ment which the Butterick company
has furnished its stockholders, which
stateemnt was printed as paid matter
in certain newspapers, to the effect
| that two months of the unions war
fare in 1905 had cost it good deal
over $15O,O0O.
Some $4,000 of this amount was
spent by the Butterick company "pre-
pairing for the strike" as it says,
showing that the company expected
the strike, or, as the union claims,
the company, for purposes of its own
and reasons known only to itself,
forced the strike on the union two
months in advance of the date set by
it for the enforcement Of its eight
hour demand.
1t is inconceivable how concerns
like the Butterick and Mcclure estab-
lishments, which are certainly not
run for fun, but from which the stock
holders expect an increasing rate Of
dividends, should permit themselves
to engage in such a costly and losing
fight with the printers union, for lose
they will in the end. The history Of
the New York labor movement teaches
that. Defeat may be postponed for a
time, but it cannot be prevented. The
money loss acknowledged by the But
tericl1 company is sure indication of
that fact.
The Butterick and Mcclure COM
panies have only to study the Crofut
& Knapp hatters' fight, in 1855; the
Third Avenue Railroad fight later; the
Cornell iron fight, and more recently
the Sun newspaper fight, to show that
this is so.
Notwithstanding that nearly all of
these later made peace with the
unions, none have regained the i'm
portance, size and standing they held
BEFORE their respective fights.
The Crofut & Knapp company, In
Connecticut, had a name in the hat
trade which other factories envied. 1t
had one Of the largest factories In the
Nutmeg state. It spent thousands of
dollars fighting the Hatters' Union,
and then gave in. It has since been
eclipsed by others.
The Third Avenue Railroad COM
pany suffered so fiercely under war
fare waged against it by organized
labor in this city that it abandoned its
line to the Grand Central depot, sold
it's Third avenue and Thirty-fourth
street stables and did not recover
