when 1t was not respected by the
fair-minded and feared by the sell
fish.
We congratulate Characterization
Harper on his very evident desire to
earn the money. Pending further
discussion of the matter The Wage
worker desires to assure the Central
Union Times at Jacksonville, Florida,
of it's most distinguished considera-
ton.
The State Journal Company on
Tuesday pulled down a state print
ing contract amounting to upwards
OF $4,000. 1t is the printing of ten
volumes of supreme court reports, 4
1000 copies each, 900 pages to the
volume. The type on this job will
be set by members of Lincoln Typo
graphical Union, No. 209, who will
work the eight-hour day at fair
wages.
The York Times Company secured
the job of printing 5000 copies of a
publication devoted to the subject of
normal training. The type on this
job will be set by non-union printers
working the ten-hour day at low
wages. Query: Wouldn't the mer-
chants of York prefer to have dozen
union printers earning $1S week for
customers than to have dozen non
union printers earnig $12 a week or
less fbr customers. Look for the
label.
The Delieator Company sends The
Wageworker a big bunch of literature
anent it's Child Rescue Campaign"
asking us to help. We beg to be ex
cused. The Wageworker is pushing
a genuine child rescue campaign
through the only medium that ever
rescued a child from a sweat shop
the trades unions. The Delineator is
published by the "scab" Butterick
Company, and it is working the child
labor racket" to advertise it's "scab-
berry" Actions speak louder than
words-and the Butterick Company
is fighting the only child rescue or
ganization ever perfected.
Capital Auxiliary inaugurated the
winter season Tuesday evening of
this week by giving Halloween
party at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Nickel. Despite the inclement
weather a goodly crowd of fun-lov-
ing printers and their wives respond
ed to the invitations, and the evening
was spent delightfully."-. A Mother
Goose Contest furnished plenty of
fun. There were sixteen pictures
from Mother Goose Rhymes" pinned
on the wall, and each one was asked
to write the first line of the verse ac-
companying the picture. Mrs. w. M.
Maupin won first prize, with fifteen
correct answers: o. c. Jones won the
BOBBY prize with six correct answers.
Fred Nickel came closest to guessing
the number of seeds in the pumpkin,
and won the pumpkin. He guessed
261, and there were 283. Ginger
bread, coffee, popcorn and apples
were served for refreshments. Those
who miss these Auxiliary sociais are
missing some mighty fine times.
Next week this department will con-
tain a letter from J. J. Dirks of st.
Louis, who has something to say of
interest to printers of the entire juris-
diction
Every now and then you run across
men who never think of attending a
meeting in order to advance the cause
of unionism, but never lose an oppor-
tunity to criticise the work of other
men or rush to meeting to save few
cents.
1t is just as much your business to
use the ''sticker" as it is the bust
mess of the executive committee to
fees.
immigration officials are woefully
negligent when it comes to enforcing
the law against the entry of INDECENT
aliens into this country. But they
can get wonderfully active when their
