How Organized Labor
Can Benefit Itself

As long as organized labor sits idly
by and waits for the machine poll
ticians to hand it few favors, just
SO long will organized labor be a butt
of ridicule for the aforesaid politicians.
Not until organized labor, as solidly
arrayed at the polls as it is at the bal
lot bog, demands the recognition that
Is due it, will the machine politicians
be ready TO accord it due recognition.
For thirty years the men who manip-
ulate politics in the various counties
of Nebraska and other states have
taken particular pains to recognize this
or that element OF the voting popula
ton. A German has been nominated
to hold the German Vote Swede
has been nominated to hold the
"Swede vote" an Irishman has been
nominated to hold the Irish vote
Even the church has been used for
political effect and a member of this
or that leading denomination nomi-
mated in order to hold the vote of his
church. But during all these years,
while these different elements were
being accorded political recognition,
The vote of organized labor has been
ignored. Perhaps there is good reason
for this Too long we have allowed
partisauship to override our unionism.
And as long as the vote of organized
labor is divided on political lines the
political bosses will see no reason for
according recognition to union labor.
Right now the union men of Ian

caster county have a chance to make
these political bosses sit up and take
notice. Right now we have an oppor-
tunity to compel them to come to us
in the future and ask us what we want
instead of waiting for us to go to them
and beg for recognition. The election
of Smith and Quick to the legislatures
would be due notice to the men who

after no slate can expect to win unless
its makers recognize the $500 union
