The Lincoln hotel bar continues to
enjoy the unenviable distinction Of
being the only "scab" bar in the city.
The bartenders employed there gave
as their reason Tor dropping out that
the bar was patronized only by tray
cling men. The explanation is 4 full
measure of their unionism. The union
man who patronizes the bar is merely
giving aid and comfort to non-union
men.

OVER IN TEXAS.
Farmers CT the Lone Star State Hold
Convention.

Al the recent convention OF the
Farmers State Union, held in Dallas,
Texas, i16 delegates and as many
visitors We're assembled. These rep
which is surely an indication that the
farmers of the Lone Star state are
pretty thoroughly organized.
4 feature of this convention WAS the
number of resolutions adopted that
affect organized labor, which leaves
no room for doubt that feeling exists
among the farmers that there is
community of interests between them
and the touers in factories and shops.
These annual conventions bring the
farmers and the city unions into closer
touch, and SO strengthen the bonds
between them that the efforts OF the
enemies OF organized labor to create
listrust between town and country or
ganiaations are of little avail.
The farmers union has adopted a
label for the purpose OF designating
their products, and resolution adopt
cd by the convention was TO the effect
that in whatever form the label Was
produced it should be accompanied by
the typographical union label. Anoth-
or resolution fayoring the typograph
ical union label was as follows:
Whereas, There is a printing trust
in Teas, and that because of this the
price OF printing has been increased
to an extortionate extent; and
Whereas, We know the typograph
ical union label will not be allowed to
be used on trust-made goods; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That we urge all persons
| with whom we trade to have ali print
ing bear the label of the typographical
union.
| The farmers union is taking an act
i've part in union politics, and this col-
| vention went on record as faNoring
a legal eight-hour worlSday and ieSis-
lation to prohibit the Importation of
| strikebreakers. 1t also is opposed 10
| the employment of convict labor il.
competition with free labor, believing
| that prison production should be con-
fined TO such articles as are used in
state institutions. 1t is to be hoped
| that farmers of all the states will or
ganiZe such unions, and affiliate ant
cooperate with labor unions in urging
legislation favorable to the laborers,
the adoption OF the universal eight
hour day, and assist in creating an de-
mand for the union iabel.-The Typo

HOW 1T WORKS.
A Banquet and Much Wine Influences
LEGISLATION in Nebraska.

4 few years ago the matter OF re-
vising the convict contract law came
before the Nebraska legislature. Ii
was thought that the state was not
getting a big enough price per convict
1t was also thought by some that it
might be well to abolish the system
entirely. There was committee ap-
pointed to Investigate. 1t began it's
prison contractor invited the commit
tee to be his guests at little banquet
at Il local hosiery. The members ac-
cepted the kind invitation, and the ban
auet was a gorgeous affair. The wine
list WAS quite extended, and the menu
card contained all the delicacies OF the
season--and some that We're out of sea-
son according TO law.
The banquet ended the investiga-
ton. 40 more inquiries were made.
:, Il tie matter was allowed to sink
into what c. Cleveland called inocuous
dc: lie tude.
Of course organized labor was not
represented in that legislature. And,
Of course, the honest ana highminded
legislators we're not influenced by the
banquet.
But with q couple Of true blue WORK
ingnen in the legislature it would be
possible 20 prevent such an outrageous
perversion OF justice. Vote for Smith
and Quick and get square deal frola
the great state of Nebraska.

THE MODERN MOSES

Earliest of labor leaders was Moses,
the man who delivered from a cruel
bondage the millions of Israe1ites who
served the Pharaoh Of Egypt.
The development of leader is al
ways slow process. This is partic-
ularly true in the industrial world. For
in the labor movement there is so
much at stake. and there are so many
interests involved, that the raw enthu-
siast cannot be entrusted with the
power Of leadership.
Enthusiasm there must be. but it
must be an enthusiasm founded upon
intelligence and a genuine experience

| hillside to prepare him fer the great
task of leading out into liberty the
slaves OF the Egyptian ruler.

| forgot how to use this weapon of the
spellbinder, for when he was called

THE FRESHMEN.
Criticize Printers for Haste in Closing
With Publishers Association.

The American Pressman, official or
gan of the International Printing Press
men ana Assistants Union has the
following TO say of the action taken by
the International Typographical Union
convention at Colorado Springs last
August. 1t deserves the careful con
sideration of the printer end of the
allied trades:
AS usual, the convention signified
its willingness to sign up with the
American Publishers association with
out first comforting with the |. P. P.
and A. T., Notwithstanding proposition
No. 8, by Delegate Heinz, of Zanes-
vile, Ohio, was presented for the very
purpose of preventing entering into an
agreement after the expiration Of the
one of May 1, 1907. Mr.. Heinz's prop
osition was defeated In its haste the
j. T. U. has simply followed it's usual
program-a program that has and is
costing ii hundreds of thousands OF
dollars, which, were better tactics EN-
pIoyed i'll time, would save it much of
it's rapid running outlay. This act is
certainly suggestive, and that is, that
where the I. T. U. sees chance to
close up an agreement it closes it and
lets all affiliated organizations take
care of themselves. 1t was ever thus;
and as consequence, the eight-hour
day and the open shop is still an open
question for adjustment Had the /. t.
u, and done clean business, by form
ing proper agreement, on the time
of fulillment and its execution, there
would not now be a doubt OF it's uni
versal success. This we add in a broth
