The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1907-10-11

to the assessment. 1t was funny OBJ
lection, too. The objection was that
it wasn't large enough, and by unani-
nous vote it was agreed to make it
per cent
A committee was appointed to ar
range for the anniversary, with H. w
Smith as chairman. According to
present plans the celebration will take
the form of a banquet, to be followed
by ball. The fair employers of the
city will be invited to the banquet.
1t is also the intention to secure, if
possible, the presence of the inter-
national officers. Lincoln Topographic
carrying out everything it undertakes,
and the anniversary celebration will
be no exception
The New Century Company has
gone wrong" 1t has refused to abide
by the eight hour agreement and as
result it is no loner on the fair list.
Mr.. Mccartney, the proprietor, was
formerly member of the union, and
while journeyman was very insis-
| tent on hours and scale. It seems
different now. His most successful
months were when he was away and
the plant was put in charge of Jay
Worley, who put it on the eight hour
basis. The executive committee has
wrestled with Mr.. Mccartney, but to
no avail. Another form of wrestling
will now begin.
| Frank Coffey came down from Ere
mont Sunday and attended the meet
ing. He reports the arrival of several
country printers in Fremont during
| the last week, but not all of them went
to work. AS soon as the situation was
explained most of the arrivals turned
| back. Two or three who stuck have
proved more of detriment to the Of
| flee than help. The situation is well
in hand and the local unions of Ere
mont are backing up the printers in
bully shape.
| A lot of labor papers are publish
ing the fulsome resolutions adopted
by the Hot Springs convention rela-
tive to the labor press. The Wage
worker has not published them yet.
Neither will it publish them until it

at time some former references to
the labor press in Typographical con-
ventions. There was the references
in Toronto, when Shelby Smith was
crucified, and where delegates on the
floor handed things" to the labor
editors. President Lynch did not ov-
erlook the chance to roast, and roast,
and roast" the labor editors who did
not see fit to endorse everything done
j by the executive council. Another
reference was that of Delegate Nc
Cullough at Colorado Springs, when
/ he referred to labor editors as ''buz-
yards, scavengers and vipers," and all
because the labor editors he referred
|
and kOw-tow in order to secure recog-
milton. When The Wageworker can
disremember some of these things
it is going to print the Hot Springs
resolutions and blushingly bow it's
acknowledgements
M. d. l.. Shrope of the Evasion, Pa,
Journal insists that Frankt Swigar
| took the right course when he con-
scented to the compromise resolution
And somehow or other it reminds us
of the Toronto convention, where Bro
Their Shrope stood with the rest of
the labor editors until the time came
for signing the protest. The Wage
worker has said its say about the Swi-
CART case, and is now trying to for
get it.
| Shelby Smith has sent his percapi-
ter to the Most Worshipful Secretary
of the Benevolent Order of ZooZ and
is now the beloved head of the order,
vice George Wilnot Harris, removed
for cause And we cordially invite
THE executive council at Omaha to
make note of the fact that the percapi-
ter was sent to US.
The union printers of St. Paul are
feeling pretty good these days.
