which has caused YOU 90 change your
opinion In regard TO Senator Bailey
Yes II was not fully known until
within the last few months that
Senator Bailey has sutaiued and
WAS perhaps at this time sustaining
very close business connections with
some OF the most heartless and OPP
preRSIye trusts that were ever de
yised for the purpose of defraudiug
aud flching from the people their
hard earnings
I'VE have IL from his own lips
that while on his journey TO Nash
Vile, ostensibiy for the purpose of
fighting trusts. he fell in with II
Clay Pierce. who induced him TO re-
turn 10 Texas and persuade our gov
ernor and attorney general 10 per
nit the Waters Pierce Oil company.
which was and Is q subsidiary cor
poratiou 10 the Standard Oil COM
pany. to re-enter the state of Texas,
which service he says, was free of
charge. out Of love for his friend -.
Il Francis
We also learn from him that he
wrote a charter for another subsid
iary corporation to the old Standard
Oil company. and that it Is now doing
business in Texas. and that Ee receiy-
ed fee of five thousand dollars for
such work And we also learn from
him that he was instrumental or a
great factor in building up q lumber
trust in Texas, to-wit: The Kirby
Lumber company, for which he says
he received a fee of two hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars
while acting as United States sena-
tor We also learn from Senator
Bailey that about two and half
years ago his darling and trusted
friend II, Clay Pierce turned over
to him about thirteen million dol
lars of bonds and stocks to do with
as he, the senator saw fit, and We
further learn from him that he, the
senator, has been building railroads
and opening coal mines in Tennessee
with this capital thus furnished him.
We do not know who his associates
are in these enterprises, but 1t is
reasonable to suppose that some of
| the great railroad magnates or man
ipulators of America are cooperating
with him in these enterprises.
We are informed by evidence
! coming through the attorney gener-
/ ais office that Mr.. Bailey had sew
eral large financial dealings with H.
| Clay Pierce, just before and after
! the Waters Pierce Oil company was
permitted to re-enter Texas, and the
| evidence to my mind shows conclu
sively that he received large fee

interview from District Judge J f.
billiard. touching the Bailey contro
versy, which has for some time been
engaging the serious attention of the
people of this state Much impor-
,ance Is attached to any statement
coming from Judge billiard because
OF the high and honored position he
occupies and because of the very
great esteem in which he is held by
not only the citizens of the fortieth
judicial district, but by all his friends
throughout the state,
Judge billiard readily granted the
Lights request for an interview,
and when asked If he had any matur-
ed opinion in regard 10 the re-elec-
tion of Hon. J w. Bailey to the
United States senate, he said
Yes sir | have arrived at CON
rlusiou in regard to this important
question. which, in my opinion, is
fully sustained by the evidence now
in the possession of the public
Do YOU feel at liberty at this time
and in this interview 10 make an
expression of your opinion in such
form that it may be given to the
public through the medium of the
press?
Yes sir. | have never refused in
the past to make an expression OF my
views upon any subject which was
before the country for discussion
and solution
What has been your relation with
Senator Bailey in the past?
''I was never on intimate terms
of friendship with Senator Bailey.
have only met him a few times, but
have kept up with his course in
the senate very closely and | greatly
admired his speeches and heartily
approved his votes in that body, and
until quite recently | believed the
people had found in him a great
tribune or leader in whom there was
no guile. who was able and willing
to champion their cause in the great
battle now being fought between the
people of the United States on one
side and the dark cohorts of trusts
and monopOles on the other"

MIXED TOO OFTEN.
And This Should Straighten Things
Out a Little Bit.

The Wageworker is continually get
ting mixed on the dates for the meet.
ings of the Central Labor Union and
the Woman's Label League. The
Label League meets on the second and
fourth Mondays Of each month. The
Central Labor Union meets on the
second and fourth Tuesdays. Now. do
not forget these dates. These two or
CARNATIONS do not always meet on
consecutive nights. 1t depends on
whether the second Monday and the
second Tuesday of the month fall on
consecutive nights. They do not al
ways do it. Every third month brings
a change.
Now keep these facts in mind. The
Wageworker is going to try it from
now on, and will endeavor to make no
more mistakes.
The Label League meets next Mon
day night, and the Central Labor
Union meets next Tuesday night. At.
tend them both if you can.

The Freshmen are very much pleas
ed with The Wageworker and think
it has done more to strengthen union
ism in Lincoln than any other agency.
1t has been an educational influence
long needed. both in and out of the
ranks OF unionism. They wish it in

LET LABOR. BEWARE.
Sunday Barber Shops Mean Sunday
Work in Other Lines.

Sunday Barber Shops Mean Sunday
Work in Other Lines.
Workingmen In all lines of business
mechanics, artisans, clerks-should
wake up to the fact that the re-estab-
lishment of Sunday barber shops
means Sunday work in all other lines
This is a bad time to talk about in
creasing the number of hours of work
per week. The tendency is in the
other direction, and the wage Garner
who deliberately or carelessly allows
this tendency to be overcome is foolish
in the extreme.
A few cheap lawyers, anxious to Sc
cure a small fee, have expressed a
willingness to undertake the job of
smashing the anti-Sunday shop ordi-

they can do it. The BARRIERS Union

the Sunday shop proponition, and it

THE clGARMAkERS.
Business Picking Up Little After a
Period of Dizziness,

Business with the Cigarmakers is
picking up little after a period of
comparative dullness. In the mean
while the label campaign has been
progressing steadily. The CigarmalS-
ers point with pride to the fact that
they spend more money pushing the
label than any other organization IL
the city.
The Omaha plan of pushing the de-
mand for union made cigars may be
tried in the near future. This consists
in a series of smokers" given by the
local union where union made cigars
are provided and two or three timely
talks on unionism made The plan
has worked good results in Omaha,
where the membership has been
doubled inside of year.
The Cigarmakers are willing to do
their part towards building a Labor
Temple, but are somewhat divided as
to the proper plan Of procedure.
