next Tuesday night, and the labor
fair committee will make and submit
it's final report. There is much other
business of Importance to be transact

point to be present when the gavel

The most important business of the
evening will be the election of officers
for the ensuing term. This is matter
that demands the careful considera-
ton and action of the delegates, for
upon the selection or the right men
depends the usefulness of the organ

WESTERN UNION TRICK.
Employs Detective Agency to Organ

ize Opposition "Union."
New York, Feb. New York Local
No. 16, Commercial Telegraphers' Un-
ion of America, in its regular semi
monthly meeting in Brooklyn today,
had a great surprise sprung on it by
one Of the members. It was to the
effect that knowledge had come to
him that the Western Union Telegraph
Company, which has never recognized
the Telegraphers' Union, has under
taken to put new union in the field
with the idea of drawing away from
the Commercial Telegraphers' Union
OF America as many members as 1t
could and to create dissention among
the remainder.
This plan, he said, is being managed
by certain detective agency familiar
with such work, and start is to be
made this week. The idea is to start
it at first in New York, then in Chi
cago, and then in San Francisco.

"Sec. 2. All acts and parts of acts
Inconsistent with this act are hereby

This is the sort of liability law that
the wage earners want, and as they
are the ones most interested, certainly
their ideas are worthy of considera-
ton.
Mr.. McMullen claims that his bill
will in no wise interfere with the Bur-
lington relief The railroad men as
sert that it will. Now, in order to
avoid any dispute on that point. why
not take the bill that the employees
want, and which they are confident
will not antagonize the relief, and
which will include all classes of en-
ployed persons instead of confining the
benefits to a certain few?

Who stole her right to a decent

Who stole from her all her strength,

THE UNION PRINTER.

Well, now, those typos must be
a good set of fellows. Just think!
Ten per cent assessment for ten
months, then for one month and now
5, and still they are as stubborn to
win the eight hours as ever. Could
any other union under the sun with
stand such an assessment! But they
are out to win and they are accomp-
fishing their goal, for all along the
line comes news of firms giving in
and desiring their former union help.

PATR0NIzE YOUR
HOME institutions

Where you earn your money is the best place to
spend it.
Let Lincoln workingmen remember that important
fact Every dollar earned in Lincoln and spent out
side Of Lincoln is dollar taken away from the local
volume of money and in time will react the wage
earners.
Every dollar spent in Lincoln adds to the volume
of business and every addition to business means
more work for wage earners.
These statements are axion.stic An axiom is
sef-evident truth.
There is no reason whatever why Lincoln wage
Garner should buy pound Of groceries, stitch OF
clothing dollars worth of fire, accident or life in
surance, piece Of furniture yard of carpet, or
anything else, outside of Lincoln. All these things
may be purchased as cheap cheaper in Lincoln
than elsewhere. You know your local merchants
They responsible, and if their not up to
requirements they will make good. The catalogue
houses financially responsible, of course but if
the goods they sell not satisfactory the purchaser
has no recourse. Every dollar spent with Chicago
catalogue houses is dollar taken from Lincoln, and
that dollar never back to Lincoln. A dollar
spent with your home merchant remains in Lincoln,
and later some wage Garner gets it.
Your local merchant will help you it you are in
the hole He will give you reasonable credit and in
case of sickness will stand your friend. The cata
logue houses do not know you, will not trust you
and after they get your money they don't give a
tinker dam whether you live die. Your local
merchants pay taxes to help support the schools

subscribed upwards Of thousand dollars to improve
the new city park which will be enjoyed by the
earners of Lincoln and their children. The catalogue
houses will not subscribe cent in thousand years
for that benefcent purpose.
When you were out of work month two ago,
was it the local merchant the catalogue house
that gave you credit and trusted you until you got
work and made the money to meet the bill? The
local merchant of course You would have suffered
and you family would have suffered if you had been
compelled to depend on the catalogue house.
Stand by your local merchant. Spend your money
at home and you will be able to make more money
to spend.
Home first the world afterwards That's mighty
good motto for any city to follow.
Patronize home institutions and home merchants

The revelations regarding fraudu- lent paint materials which haze been made by the Agricultural Experiment Station of Fargo, N. D., and published by Prof l.. F. Ladd. state commits sioner. have occasioned almost as much of a sensation as the exposure Of adHlteration in food products did when the latter first began to appear. 1t has been shown that kegs marked Pure White Lead often contain other substances such as chalk. harytes, silica. etc. and that oil supposed to he linseed often contains petroleum adulterants. to say nothing of water in large proportions. Sometimes, so- called White Leads" contain rot an iota of genuine White Lead.
 The farmer is a large user Of paint. No one is more interested than he is, that the label should enable him to get what he supposes he is paying for. There should be a law in every state requiring that all paint packages be labeled exactly according to their con- tents. That would enable every paint buyer to buy intelligently.

EARLY NORTHWEST VOYAGES.
Some Account of the Arctic Trips
 That Have Been Made.

Beginning with the American dis. coveries Of John Cabot in 1497. the search for the northwest passage was for many years the object of rival ex- petitions from Denmark, England. France and Portugal. says A. W. Greely in the Century. It was Frobish- CT however, who in 1576-7S first gave a distinct national character to the quest. John Davis of Davis strait. followed in three voyages, 15S5-SS. and then, in 1912, came the illustrious and hapless Henry Hudson. whose motto was that explorers should achieve what they had undertaken or else give reasons wherefore it will not be.
 The search for the Atlantic side closed for two centuries with the vov- age of great seaman, William Baf. fin. who, in tiny boat of D tons. with miserable equipment but an un- daunted heart, attained. in 1916. the highest north in the western hemis. phere, - degrees 45 minutes x. and discovered three radfating sounds.
