Dry Goods,

New York, July 6.-Dress goods buyers are coming into town rapidly to begin op- erations on new seasonable goods, which opened by first hands in the dry goods market today at to 10 per cent advance. Buyers of medium weight goods in staple cottons are showing a tendency to oper- ate more freely, and the market Is firmer in consequence. Cotton yarns are very active and fine numbers more scarce.

Central Union
Wants to Know

The Central Labor Union met Tues
day evening and transacted what little
business came before it and made
speedy getaway" The chief business
was the matter of local clothing firm
that had violated an agreement with
the Central Union On April Is, 1905.
the manager Of this firm signed an
agreement not to handle a certain
"scab" hat, said agreement now being
in possession of the Central Union.
EARLY this spring the firm began ex-
tensively advertising this same "scab"
hat in violation of said agreement.
committee was appointed to wait
upon the manager, exhibit the agree
ment signed by his own hand and wait

ference will be given in next weeks S

The Central Union also took cog
nizance of the fact that the firm of
Miller & Paine had voluntarily cut off
another hour from it's Saturday busi-
ness, now closing at 6 p. m. instead
Of p. m. Miller & Paine's store is
the only retail establishment in Lin

closing. The Central Union unani-

would close at o'clock on Saturday
evenings hereafter, instead of at z
o'clock as in the past. 1t will be borne
in mind that Miller & Paine is the
only retail firm in the city that does
not keep open on Saturday evenings
until 10 or 10:30 O'Clock. Organized
labor everywhere is making con-
certed demand for shorter hours-a de-
mand founded on justice and abstract
right. For this reason the action of
Miller & Paine should appeal especial

Each Union Should Have a Press
Agent to Give Out important News.
One thing WE notice about the Easton
unions is that they are extremely bash
full
They hold enthusiastic meetings and
in many cases initiate several candi
dates, but are so bashful that they
never let anyone know they met at all.
Year in and year out, no report is
allowed to be made public that they
ever existed at all
Let each union appoint press agent,
a member who can judge what part
OF the proceedings are proper for thu
public to know, and let all reports be
given out through him. We believe
it to be for the good of organized labor
that regular reports of the meetings be
published, that the public be informed
o. our growth and progress, and our
side of public questions. We do not
believe that all Of unions business
should be given to the public, and the
only way to avoid leakage of private
matters is to have a responsible source
OF information to which the public
can apply-a news or press agent.
1t seems that in many cases BASH
fulness smothers whatever unionism
some people ever had.
''The Journal has repeatedly re-
quested several unions to send us news
that could be published with beneficial
results, but the same old laggard fash
ioE still prevails.

members in this city want to get a

awake some of these fine mornings

This Shou1d be of Interest to Organized Lrbo,

Paine could not have bought this
space to advertise it's goods. But this
notice is cheerfully given because its
action is in line with the demands Of
unionism, and The Wageworker's mis-
sion is to advance the cause of union
ism, thereby advancing the interests of
those who work for wage. Any other
retail firm in Lincoln that will follow
the example set by Miller & Paine
will deserve, and will have, equal pub
licity in The Wageworker.
The Wageworker trusts that Miller
& Paine will profit handsomely by
their shortening of the hours of labor,
and they will if organized labor does
its duty and stands by those who
demonstrate their friendship for those
who toll.

In your latest spasm of anger at the

you indulge in some very harsh Ian
guage, and make some very severe
charges. We are inclined to overlook
them, Mr., Post, on account of the very
apparent nearness of your complete
mental unbalancing on the subject Of
organized labor. We do not blame you
for frothing at the mouth when a

cruelty, and all for the purpose of al

tors kept throwing our contemplate

foremen are to receive 55 cents ger
hour and journeymen carpenters As
cents per hour. This is an increase of
71z cents an hour for the foremen and
oe cents an hour for the journeymen.
The business agents OF the Carpen
ters who have been working along

ing success. The contractors are nor
orly agreeable, but some have aiaeady
offered to sign up. Mr. p. Martin, one

wages, but says he will insist on a
