Meets Next Sunday and Interesting
Doings Are in Prospect.
Lincoln Typographical Union No.
209 will meet next Sunday afternoon
at o'clock, and the session promises
to be one of the most interesting, in
many long months. The strike will
be discussed in all of it's phases, and
in addition the matter of straighten-
ing out little tangle in the constitu-
ton will be attended to. officers were
elected at the December meeting, but
there is prospect of contest on the
ground that the election was not held
on the constitutional date. The
threshing out of this matter promises
considerable excitement.
In February the local union will
celebrate it's twenty-third anniversary,
and at the meeting Sunday the ques-
ton of celebrating the occasion will be
| brought up and settled.
Local printers are rejoicing over the
splendid stand taken by the Hearst
publications on the eight-hour day.
The union printers are fortunate in
having a man like William Randolh
Hearst at the head of five of Ameri-
cas- greatest daily newspapers.
Tuesdays Associated Press dis
patches conveyed the information that
there were more applications for stu
atoms in Los Angeles than there were
men who walked out to enforce the
eight-hour day. The want adj col.
umns the same day contained frantic
appeals for non-union printers to come
to Los Angeles. The Teapot" bunch
is making spectacle of itself.
Fred Bremen claims to hold the
record for steady service. He has
worked in the southwest corner of the
straight years, and is only three or
| four years older than he was when
he started in.
The vote on the 10 per cent assess.
ment was not tabulated at interna-
tional headquarters in time to be an
nounced in this issue, but President
Lynch reports that hte returns in on
December 80 showed that the assess
ment carried by upwards of 10000 ma
jority. Lincoln's vote showed hand

Brief Items Of News, Penned and
Pasted for Busy People.
The Nebraska Press association
meets in Lincoln on February 10, 20
and 81, and the local Typographical
Union could do an excellent stroke Of
business by giving the members re-
ception. A majority of the members
are practical printers and most of
them unionists at heart.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gus Swanson and chill
dren returned Monday from Ong, Neb.,
where they spent the holidays most
enjoyably with relatives and friends.
The Wageworker takes especial
pleasure in calling the attention of its
readers to the advertisement of the
Union Transfer Line. This linefs op-
Grated by r. E. Morris, loyal union
teamster, and he pledges his patrons
that only union men will be employed
by him. He deserves to be rushed to
the limit with business from the union
lists of the city.

LABEL LEAGUE MEETING.
First Gathering of the New Year
Should Be Enthusiastic.


Should Be Enthusiastic.
The Woman's Union Label League
will meet Monday evening at the usual
time and place, and as it is the first
meeting in the new year it is to be
hoped that the attendance will be large.
Every member should make it a point
to be present with a stock of enthusi-
asm that will start the new year off
in splendid style. During 1906 the
League will be able to accomplish a
great work in behalf Of unionism if the
members will take on new zeal and
grasp the opportunities that will offer.
The Woman's Union Label League
deserves and should have the support
of every union man and woman in the
city. In the past it has not had the
assistance of union men to the proper
extent The men most interested in
the Leagues success have utterly ig-
nored it. This should not longer be-
Remember the meeting Monday night,
and let the attendance be the largest
in the Leagues history.

THE CARPENTERS.

Public Installation.

Begin the New Year with Feast and
Public Installation.
The Carpenters Union entered upon
the New Year full of enthusiasm and
hope, and celebrated the occasion with
an open meeting and public installa-
ton at Central Labor Union Hall last
Tuesday evening. Four long tables
reaching the full length of the hall
were occupied by the union carpen-
tiers and their guests, the non-union
carpenters and the employers of the
city, and the evening proved to be one
of the most enjoyable in the history of
labor unions in this city.
Retiring President Woodward called
the meeting to order and in a short
address welcomed the members and
visitors, and after felicitating the or
ganization upon it's success, introduced
S. ]. Kent, the installing officer. Mr..
Kent conducted the ceremonies in eli
impressive manner, and the following
officers were indicted into office:
TT0Slucul, d. w. EIlDcISOA
Vice-President, H. E. Attebury.
Financial Secretary, J. NJ. Schiller.
Recording Secretary, H. H. Chase.
Treasurer, Roswell Shepherd.

Ed Dullenty was installed as a mem
Der of the board of trustees, and l.. A.

| ings.
The shorter work day. was the
subject assigned to S. J. Kent, and he
| covered it in his usual forceful style.
pointing out the benefits that accrued
to mankind since the shorter work
day had been inaugurated. He laid
especial emphasis upon the startling
: historical fact that within ten years
after President Van Buren, had signed
the first ten-hour day law the number
of patents was larger than the total
/ number up to that date. 1.-THE shorter
work-day," said Mr.. Kent, gives men
time to read and study and think, and
that is what makes good and useful
citizens. Every time we raise a man
we raise the nation just that much
| Mr.. Kent then put in a plea for the
Saturday half-holiday and urged that
it would be benefit to both employ
ers and employees.
J Rev. Samuel Zane Batten was asked
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1906-01-13

to talk, and told to take any subject
ne wanted to- In response to the in
vltatlon he made a splendid address
in which he urged organization, mu-
tual helpfulness and individual re.
sponsibility, aud he declared that he
was proud of the fact that he was a
fraternal delegate from the Ministerial
Association to the Central Labor
Union. He said that he had worked
for two years as a carpenter, and ad-
mitted that his grandfather had often
said that good carpenter had been
spoiled to make a MOOR preacher His
hearers expressed no opinion about
the spelling of good carpenter, but
they were unit in denying that poor
preacher had been made. Rev. Mr..
Batten's address was listened to with
close attention, and he was frequently
applauded.
VIII M. Maupin spoke briefly of the
printers strike and predicted a vic
tory all along the Ene Then he
varied the program little by reciting
a few rhymes and telling a story or
two.
The several contra ctors present
were called upon, and the friendly feel
ing existing between the union and the
employers was manifest in all their
remarks. c. Schaaf declared that
since the organization of the union
there was better feeling all around,
| and further declared thai he believed
that the eighr-hour day was beneficial
| to employer and employee I'VE get
better service and more intelligent
! men under present conditions" said
Mr.. Schaaf. Joseph Watson conceded
| with Mr.. Schaaf's views and expressed
his satisfaction with present condi-
| lions. Harry Dobbs brought out a
round of cheers by emphatically de-
claring in favor of the Saturday half
holiday He had just returned from
the Pacific coast, where the half holt
day was the rule, and he had investi-
gated it and found that it was a good
thing. 1t gave the employer time to
look after his business, and the en-
ploye time to attend to his own little
affairs. R. Stitz spoke briefly and to
the point. IF you want anything, just
let me know he said
During the evening an orchestra of
| four pieces discoursed music, and
after the edibles were all disposed of
union made cigars were passed around
and everybody smoked. The social
session after the speaking was as
thoroughly enjoyed as any other fea-
lure, aid whole lot of the members
and guests failed to catch the last

their lives. The committee having

the man who runs Sunday sa.
loon or gambling house Is no
less violator than the man who
steals horse. and that if | am
elected one will be prosecuted as
vigorously as another, l believe
that to permit any law to remain
on the statute book unenforced
inspires contempt for all law
and breeds spirit of anarchy.
Much of the blame for lax enforce
ment lies in the fact that candi-
dates for prosecuting attorney
have not been requiem to public
ly declare themselves. Too often
has it occurred that candidates Sc
cretly pledged to bosses with pol
luted axes to grind have been cleo
ted by the votes of law abiding
citizens, only to aid and protect
said bosses in conducting what are
commonly known as wide open
administrations" If 1 am elected
all violators will look alike to me.
The depraved inmate of a house
| of ill-fame is no more a violator
| than the landlord who rents the
house to this class, yet how often
do we hear Of the arrest of har-
lot, and virtually never of the man
that owns the designation house.
