ALiTTLE LABEL TALK.

One day this week the editor of The
Wageworker picked up the hat of a
union cigar manufacturer and discov-
cred that there was no label under
the sweatband.
That's good thing-not," said the
editor. "A union cigar manufacturer
wearing 'scab' hat
Eyes, it reminds me of lot of Lin
coin union printers who smoke 'scab'
cigars" retorted the owner of the hat.
And this little incident explains why
the progress of unionism is not more
rapid.
The union printer who buys "scab''
cigars isn't bit better than the
"scab" who makes them. The union
man who buys 'scab" articles of any
kind is untrue to his obligation, untrue
to his fellow unionists, wart on
unionism and disgrace to his craft.
The union cigarmaker who wears a
tscab'' hat has no kick coming if
union hatters smoke "scab" cigars in
preference to union cigars. If every
union man in the country would i'm
mediately cease purchasing ''scab''

THE FIRST RESULT.

Representative Littlefield and his
supporters profess to believe that the
campaign of Mr.. Gompers in the Lit
tlefield district did not cut any particu-
lar figure in the election of last Mon
day. If Littlefield is satisfied on that
score Mr. Gompers has no reason to
complain. With an increased total
vote in the district Littlefield's major
ity is cut from $500 to about 1000
a loss of about 80 per cent. And in
order to save his political hide Little.

All things considered the union men
of the country have every reason to

suit in Maine. 1t might have been
better if Littlefield had been dfeated.
But the tremendous reduction of his
majority in the face of the herculean
efforts made by the administration to
pull him through shows that when the
workingmen begin voting in their own
interests a lot of naughty political
bosses will be relegated to the tall
timber.
1t is now up to the union voters of

A WORD WITH MAYOR BROWN

Your honor, organized labor has
been very patient in one particular
1t has waited for months for you to
take action on a complaint lodged
against a notorious 'scab" now in the
city employ. II you will refresh your
memory a little you will recall that
something like six months ago you
promised a committee that you would
soon take action. Up to date nothing
has been done.
A thousand or more union men who
scratched their party ticket to vote
for you, Mr.. Mayor, are wondering if
you have forgotten.
The man whose scalp" these union
men are after has proved himself to
be such an migrate that his name upon
the city payroll is a disgrace thereto.
Let us recall the circumstances to you.
This man joined the Carpenters
Union several years ago. Before he
had paid in IS in the shape of monthly
dues he met with an accident that laid
him up for weeks. Before he met with
the accident he purchased lumber to
build house and had it hauled to his
lot, His fellow carpenters, with spir-
1t OF loyalty and fraternity that will
be everlastingly to their credit, turned
in and built his house for hinn-built
it without money and without price.
When he was able to leave his bed his
house was finished as far as the car.
penter work was concerned.
Was the man grateful? Did he APP
preciate the loyalty of his fellow men,
bers Of the union? Let his subsequent
actions answer.
He dropped out of the union within
few weeks, secured job with the
city, and year or two later built a
modern fiat near the central part of the
city-ALL THE WORK OF BUILD.
ING BEING PERFORMED BY 'SCAB"
LABOR
The union carpenters who built his
house for him free of charge while he
was laid up with his injuries were not
allowed to drive a single nail in the
building.
Mr.. Mayor, that man is still in the
city's employ. Your attention was
called to the facts many months ago.
What are you going to do about it?
The union men of Lincoln who sup
ported you and worked for your cleo
ton want to kncw-and they want to
know right away, too.

goods OF any kind, there would be
such boom in unionism as would
surprise the country.
But they went quit-that's the
trouble
One union in the Labor Day parade
in Lincoln wore uniform hats that were
"scab" made, although attention was
called to the fact an hour before the
parade started. The right kind of
unionism would have "ditched' those
hats, even if the members of that par
ticular union had been compelled to
parade bareheaded. Their failure to
secure union hats in the first place
was an Indictment of their unionism.
The excuse that they did not know the
label was bogus one convicts them
of an ignorance of which union man
should be ashamed.
1t makes us laugh when a union
printer rolls quid of 'scab" tobacco
in his cheek and cusses job from a
rat" printery.
To "scab" on your union is not one
bit worse than to "scab'' on your fell
low unionist of another craft by buy
ing the output of .'scab" workman
of that craft.
This is a truth that ought to soak
into the head of every member of a
trades union.
Until it does, and the soakee acts
in accordance with that truth, three
fourths of the effort made to build up
trades unionism is worse than wasted.

A woRkINGMAN's LIBRARY.

Rev. Mr.. Batten's suggestion at the
last meeting of the Central Labor
Union that the union men of the city
begin now to create library of books
dealing with topics of especial interest
to workingmen, is such a pertinent
one that it deserves more than passing
notice. If there is any one thing that
retards the progress of the labor move
ment it is the ignorance of the rank
and file. They can not hope to meet
the well informed employers on an
equal basis in an argument on SUBJ
jects of equal interest to both because
they have failed to employ their leis-
ure time as they should. 1t is doubt
full if 10 per cent of the members of
any single trades union in Lincoln can
give an intelligent history of his own
International union. Comparatively
few union men have ever read care
fully the laws governing their inter-
national. Too few of them would be
able to explain the principle of the
initiative and referendum if called to
explain why they advocate it. To a
majority Of union men the single tax
is as mysterious as the tricks of a
Hermann. And yet all these are SUBJ
jects upon which the union man should
be fully informed, because they have
great deal to do with his future as a
toiler.
How many republican union men
can give an intelligent reason for their
advocacy of a protective tariff? Nine
out of ten, if asked why they vote for
a protective tariff would reply: Be
cause it benefits the workingman."
But for the life of them they couldn't
tell how.
How many democratic union men
can give an intelligent definition of
the phrase, Tariff for revenue only?"
Workingmen should study up on
these questions. 1t will not suffice
that they merely band themselves to-
gether in unions, formulate certain
shop rules and fix minimum scale
of wages. They must do more-they
must fit themselves for better citizen
ship by study and investigation.
What the workingmen of Lincoln
need is hall of their own where they
can meet to discuss public questions,
and where they can have a library
filled with good books. The Wage
worker has several volumes that it
will be glad to donate to library of
this kind.
Suppose we make better union men
of ourselves by making more intelli-
gent citizens of ourselves.

Fraakie Sipes Married.

Yellowstone Journal: Wednesday
evening, at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Sipes, their youngest daughter,
frankie, following the worthy example
set by her parents and sisters, adopted
the holy bonds OF matrimony by being
united to Gordon Dodd, of Dickinson,
N. D. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. F. E. Doods, the hour for
the happy event being 8 o'clock.
Quite a large gathering of old friends
of the parents and the younger mates of
the bride we're present to offer congratu-
lations besides which a great number
OF presents, consisting of articles beauti-
full, useful and costly, we're showered on
the young people as evidence CT the
sincerity in which the spoken wishes
for happiness were founded.
Miss Mae Sigwart assisted the bride
as maid and the brother of the groom,
Leonard Dodd, accompanied that
gentleman during the ceremonies,
after which, an elaborate supper, sing
ing, instrumental music. dancing and a
general interchange of good feelings
followed.
Upon the arrival of the early morning
train the happy couple started on their
honeymoon during which a trip to
Canada and eastern points in the states
will be made, terminating by their re-
turn to Dickinson, N. D., which will be
home.
The bride is the third daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Sipes, and from babyhood
to womanhood she has been entirely a
Miles City girl, therefore she could not
help. being a prize whom any man
might be proud to win and the young
mans happiness is assured. The
groom is in the employ of the N. P. at
Dickinson, and is said to be we'll
worthy of the woman he has secured.
The Journal adds its congratulations to
those already so numerously and
doubtless felisitously expressed.
