Were Perfectly Willing to Shed Any
Blood But Their Own.
When the streetcar strike in San
Francisco was at it's climax private
citizen who holds commanding po-
sition just now, was approached by
committee of capitalists. "See here"
they said in effect, 1--WE must bring
these fellows to their knees. This
thing has gone far enough. You've
pull enough to get troops in here. Let's
shoot up this town until they will be
glad to take dollar a day." The
private citizen smiled on them Pass
ing over the effect on this community
of dollar wages" he said, ''let's go
into the main proposition. What you
want is to make the streets run red
with blood of millitiamen at two dol
lars day, regulars at fifteen dollars
a month, and strikers. You want to
hire men to do your shooting, while
you go to your estates at San Mateo
OF Mill Valley and read about it in the
papers. Smith, your father bucked
a team across the desert in 40. I be-
1ieve he did his own shooting in those
days. Jones, your father was in the
vigilance committee. Seems to me he
did his shooting first hand. Now I'll
suggest that you gentlemen, if you
see the necessity for shooting, get
your guns and do it yourselves. 1t

is, it's unionism is from the teeth out,
not from the heart. Why do we say
this? Because the Advance Advocate
lends it's advertising columns to the
American Tobacco company, the worst
offender in sweat shop and non-union
methods one could find by going
through the country with a fine-toothed
comb. The advance Advocate sells
this notorious non-union and sweat
shop combine two full pages of space
in which to advertise fourteen brands
of "scab" tobacco.
Prating of unionism in its editorial
pages and then selling it's advertising
pages to VIGOROUSLY unfriendly con-
Germs. Asking union men to stand to-
gether, and then asking them to pat
ronize concerns that employ non
union workers, many of them little
boys and girls who are compelled to
work for miserable wages in unhealthy
surroundings.
Before the Advance Advocate under
takes to teach unionism it ought to
learn a little of union principles.

Was the Apostle Paul a union man
Sure! What makes us think so? If
you are a union man and drop into a
strange city, where is the first place
you head for? The headquarters of
your union or the shop in which your
union comrades work. And Panl always
hunted up some followers of his own
craft, for Paul was a tentmaker by
trade. Do you doubt for a minute
that he was a member of the Tent
makers Guild?

FUNNY KIND OF uNIoNlsM.

Before us lies a copy of the Advance
Advocate, official organ of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Maintenance
of Ways Employees" 1t pretends to be
a union organ, and in numerous places
it refers to unionism. In one place it
refers to those who have ''stood faith
fully at the helm of our good ship
Union" In another it speaks of the
real benefits of practical unionism, -
and in another place it denounces
sweat shops.
But the Advance Advocate seems to
be an exponent of what is commonly
denominated mouth unionism." That

James the Apostle probably knew as
well as any man that ever lived what
genuine religion is. He says: "Pure
religion and undefiled before God and
the father is this, to visit the father
less and the widows in their affilic-
ton, and to keep himself unspotted
from the world" And trades unionism
is trying to practice the active part OF
that much harder than most church
members are trying to practice the
passive part of it.

There are $500 union men in Ian
caster county. Politically they could.
if they would, hold the balance of
power in county politics. There is
not a union man in the Lincoln city
council. There is not union man
holding county office. There is not a
union man a nominee of either party
for county office. There is not union
man holding an elective Office in the
state house, and only one holding an
appointive office. But every blamed
one of these men dearly love the
workingman just before election.

UNION LABOR PLATFORM.

Unions teach men to live upright,
clean lives; to protect the home and
family; to respect and revere the
commandment, Honor thy father and
thy mother" to champion the cause
of the weak; to urge the abolition of
child labor and seek fair remunera-
ton for fair days labor. Can the
opponents of unionism find any flaws
in that platform ?-Eight-Hou Printer.

The Carpenter of Nazareth. The
trades unions are following the eX-
ample of the Carpenter. of Nazareth.
If you do not believe it, ask the wild
ows and orphans that trades unionism
is caring for. Ask the children who
have been taken from the sweat shops
and put into school by trades union
ism. Ask the man who is able to com
nland a decent wage for a reasonable
service because of trades unionism.

TAFT'S TIME WILL COME.

The Omaha World-Herald gently
chides Lincoln Typographical Union
No. 209 for adopting resolutions de-
mandatory of Ross l.. Hammond and
overlooking William H. Taft, whose
candidacy for the republican presiden-
tial nomination was endorsed by the
recent republican state convention.
The WorldHerald remarks are printed
elsewhere in this issue.
The esteemed World-Herald should
, possess it's soul in patience. Mr..
Taft's case will be given due attention
when the time comes. That time is
not now. Mr.. Taft is a candidate for
an elective Office, and organized labor
will have a chance at him when the
POLLS are opened. Mr. Hammond is a
candidate for an appointive office, and
the time to attend to his case is be-
fore the appointing power acts. Mr..
Taft's case will come up for settle
ment about a year hence. Mr.. Ham,
mond's case is pressing at this very
moment. This is the reason. why the
union printers are giving their atten-
ton to Mr. Hammond's case right now,
and postponing Mr.. Taft's case until
some future time.
The gentlemen who are trying to in
fate the Taft boom have already heard
from the organized workingmen of the
country. Time was when organized
labor always forgot those who slapped
it's face and those who befriended it.
But organized labor has "evoluted,'
so to speak. 1t now remembers it's en-
emies and stands by it's friends. That
organized labor remembers it's enemies
has been impressed upon the minds
OF the Taft boomers already. From
all quarters is coming an emphatic
protest against nominating for the
high Office of president a man who
used his judicial authority to thrust
men into Jail without giving them a
hearing, thus depriving them by judi
oial ukase of the rights guaranteed
to them by the constitution. Organized
labor remembers that William Howard
Taft was among the first to use the
writ of injunction against union men
and in the interests of the great public
utility corporations. They remember
that he thrust workingmen into jail
without due process of law; that he
denied them the right of trial by jury
and that he judicially decided that the
workingman had no rights which a
corporate employer was bound to re
spect. And organized labor will give
evidence of it's good memory many
times between now AMI the converting
of the republican national convention
in 1905
But organized labor in Nebraska has
another little chore to attend to be

the elevation to a very lucrative of
