THE CARPENTERS

Evidently Too Busy to Send News to
The Wasewor<er.
The union carpenters of Lincoln
must be a mighty busy lot these days.
Not a news item from them for three
weeks.
At the meeting last week the car
penters agreed that it was best not
to parade on Labor Day, and heartily
agreed upon a picnic. But when it
came to patronizing a resort that
could be reached only by paying four
fares on a non-union street car line
they baked hard. The carpenters
ere getting the label habit bad.
An ex-business agent of the Kansas
City Carpenters is laying brick in Ar
gentine Has he a card in the Brick
layers union.
Kansas City Union took another
lurch forward at the last meeting,
thirteen candidates being initiated.
Seventy per cent of the mechanics in
one of the largest mills in the city
are now members of the union, and
the other 30 per cent "are on the
| way"
Fifteen members of the Brother
hood of Carpenters Of Newark, N. j.,
were fined 800 each by the union
for not striking. They refused to go
out on a recent strike when ordered,
and when the firm which employed
them settled it's differences with the
union they were discharged.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
First August Meeting Will Be Held
Next Tuesday Evening.

Next Tuesday Evening.
The Central Labor Union will hold
its first August meeting next Tues
day evening, and owing to the near
approach of Labor Day it is to be
hoped that every delegate will make
it point to be present. There is
a lot of business waiting for the at
tention of the central body. If the
delegates would show up and take
some interest in the work it would
be possible to soon report the organ
ization of two or three new unions
in the city.
Several of the unions have not
been represented for long time,
some have never been represented,
and some have been represented but
once or twice during the last six
months. This is not as it should be.
The meet Tuesday night should be one
of the largest held in recent months.
There is going to be an election OF
officers in a few weeks, and the ac'
credited delegates ought to be getting
in the habit of attending SO they can
select the best available material to
conduct the affairs of the body.

GRAFT PROSECUTIONS GO ON.
Wheels Grinding in Every Department
at San Francisco.


The wheels of the graft prosecution
are grinding in nearly every depart
ment of justice in San Francisco.
The supreme court listened, August
IL, to arguments on the application
of various indicted officials praying
for writs of prohibition restraining the
superior court from trying their
cases. In Judge Lawlor's department
of the superior court the new trial
of Louis Glass, vice-president and
general manager of the Pacific States
Telephone company, was begun. The
men indicted in the Parasite deal
was called upon to make their pleas
before Superior Judge Dunno. The
grand jury listened to further evil
dence of the Pacific States Telephone
bribery and incidentally acted upon
the accusati ton filed with the district
attorneys Office by Michael Casey,
chairman of the committee on cleo
ton frauds, charging that the
Schmidt enham-Berger wing of the
labor party is engaged in criminal
colonizing." In addition to listening
to argument in the applications for
writs of prohibition the supreme
court probably will hear argument on
the mayoralty question.

When the house of commons met

the trouble at Belfast, as usually hap.
pens, there has developed cleavage
on religious lines. The protestants
have cheered and supported the troops,
while the attacking parties apparently
have been composed of Catholics.

gathered some dry sticks and going

kindled fire. Then she awakened

thirty miles, yet each is a great success
and each is planning for greater and
better things. Sidney has population
of 1143 and is without any railroad or
river advantages, yet is one of the most
successful in the group. Clarinda es-

full of so many new ones starting near

best. For an advertisement of a town

Adams county is certainly the ban
ner public sale county of southern Iowa.
Last weeks Corning Free Press con-
tanned big display ads. of sixteen pub
lie sales to be held within the next few
days in that county. And by the way
farmers who are holding public sales
have found out that it pays them big to
advertise their public sales in the news
papers. An advertisement in The
Reporter is equivalent to distributing
nearly 1000 bills to individuals living
in Decatur county, and the best part of
it is that when sale adv. is published
in the local paper it is read by people
at their fireside who never give sale
bill but glance. We have DEM
onstrated in the past year to a great
many farmers that money spent for
newspaper advertising is money well
invested, for it invariably brings
results.

opened, but under the new rules they
handle all the letter mail first, then
open the delivery windows and after
waiting on all who want their letter
mail continue distributing the papers

secure letter mail earlier, but delays
