LABOR DAY.

The Wageworl,er believes that the
unionists of this city have acted
wisely in deciding against a parade
on Labor Day. By deciding upon a
picnic they have decided upon some
thing that will result in better ac-
quaintances, and that is what we need
more than anything else in Lincoln
| right now.
AND The Wageworker wants to con-
graduate the unionists upon the stand
they have taken in regard to the
Lincoln Traction Co. The less they
will realize its mistake in treating the
city with contempt and it's employees
without consideration. The only way
to touch a corporation is TO hit it on
the pocketbook. When that is done
it will jump. The corporation purse
is as sensitive as the nerve of de-
cayed tooth.
If the union men of Lincoln will
treat the Traction company as it
deserves to be treated, it will not

municipality, but it will reconsider it's
determination not to allow its men
to organize The failure of the Trac-
ton company employees to organize is
hurtful to labor interests in the city,
and it does not speak we'll for the
independence and manhood of the
employees themselves
The conductors and motormen EN-
ployed by the Lincoln Traction Co.
are the poorest paid of any in any
city of equal OR greater size in the
| west. They alone are to blame for
this, for the company should not be
expected to pay more than it has to
pay. AS long as the men are content
to remain unorganized and therefore
unprotected, just SO long they may
expect to be paid low wages and
have to work long hours.
The Wageworker hopes that the
unionists of Lincoln will turn out to
the Labor Day picnic in such num-
bers as to show the Traction COM
pany that it is losing money by its
opposition to unionism. At the same
time it will show friendship for an
other street railway company that
demonstrates every day that it is try

The red light districts of the
cities are recruited from the ranks Of
underpaid women and girls. Greedy
employers are responsible. The
trades unions are doing more for the
eradication of the social evil than all
of the woman's clubs and churches
combined, because the trades unions
are compelling conditions that give
women an opportunity to live in COM
fort without selling body and soul

Look here, Mr.. Union Man. Don't
".scabs" and the non-union man to-
gether. There are lots of non-union
men who are thorough unionists, but
who are outside of the fold simply
because you and have not performed
our whole duty towards them.

Spend the forenoon of Labor Day
at the primaries, boosting those can
didates whom you know to be friends
of unionism But do not take any
candidates word for it. They are all
friends of the workingman on primary
and election days-to hear them tell it
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1907-08-16

Trades unions should devote part
of their time and money to educat-
ing the general public as to what
trades Unionism stands for. Once the
public understands the objects and
aims of unionism, the battle for
equality and justice is as good as
won.

The child labor law of Nebraska
should be amended only in the light

ations

The trades unionists.

The trades unionists.
Who stands between the unprotect-
ed worker and the greed and rapacity
OF employers?
The trades unions.
How long would it have been be-
fore equal pay for equal work would
have been the rule if left to the en-
ployers?
An eternity.
Who profits most by the union shop
rules?
Every toiler at every trade, for the
non-unionist enjoys the bettered con-
ditions brought about by the sacri-
fees of the unionists.
What do you think of a man who
would enjoy blessings brought about
by others, and then refuse to assist
in the work of keeping and adding to
his blessings?
He is "snitch' and an migrate.
Can you blame the men who make
the sacrifices for refusing to work by
the side of the Switches" and in
CRATES?
Not if you are half man.
What communities are the best
from every point of view, the COM
munities where the open shop rule
prevails, or the communities where
the closed shop prevails?
The communities where the closed
shop rule prevails, of course, for the
open shop means one side of the city
hovel and the other side of the city
palace. The closed shop means a city
OF comfortable homes, of schools and
of churches.
Who told you that trades unionists
were anarchists?
o, l read of their riots in the news
papers.
Do anarchists spend most of their
time doing good?
No. ....
All right. Now listen. During the
last twelve months the trades unions
of this country have expended up
wards of 100000 in sick and death
benefits. They have maintained hos
pital beds; they have given to church
and charity They have nursed their
sick, buried their dead and cared for
| the widows and orphans. They have
! tided the out-of-work man over his
season of enforced idleness, thus saw
| ing him and his children from desti-
tuition and perhaps from crime If
the latter, the state has profited i'm
measurably. Does that sound like an
archy?
| OF course not.
| Don't you think you ought to study
both sides of the trades union ques-
/ ton?
| Yes.
Then begin at once You'll be sur
prised when you learn what a wonder
help trades unionism has been to hui
manity, and to the state and nation.
