THE STATE LABOR BUREAU.

| Governor Mickey in mis- farewell
Labor Bureau either be abandoned en-
tirely or made what it ought to be.
The retiring governors recommends
ton is all right. If the bureau is not
made of some service to the state, and
especially to the wage-earners of the
state, it should be abolished entirely,
and the money it costs saved to the
taxpayers.
But the Wageworker believes it
speakers for every wage-earner in Ne
braska, especially for the wage earn
ers who are organized, when it says
that the state labor bureau should not
be abolished, but should be made what
it ought to be. Properly managed it
can be made to serve a grand good
purpose and be of benefit to every
man, woman and child in Nebraska.
But to become what it should be the
office of deputy labor commissioner
must be taken out of the political
plum" class. 1t must not be handed
out to some man for party service re-
CARELESS of his ability OF fitness for
the place. In the very nature of things
the Office should be given to skilled
craftsman who is member of the
union of his craft. Only such one is
capable of filling the position as it
should be filled.
The State Labor Bureau has never
been what it should be. 1t has never
been wide enough in the first place,
the powers of the man in charge haYe
never been great enough, and with
one lone exception tn Office has never
been acceptably filled. Mr.. Bush, the
present deputy, has not given the Of
flee property attention, and his chief
clerk has been entirely too busy plays
ing politics to satisfactorily perform
his duties. This is said in all kind
ness towards Mr.. Bush and Mr. Det;-
pain. Their ability is not questioned;
but their performance of duty has not
been such as to recommend very
strongly the continuance of the depart
fment.
| But if the legislature consults the
wishes of the wage earners of Ne
braska it will not abolish the office.
On the contrary it will amend the laws
relating to the department. giving the
commissioners more powers, and then
Governor Sheldon should disregard po-
litical expediency and appoint a dep
of man who will attend to his duties
and do good work. Naturally the man
who will be appointed by Governor
Sheldon will be a republican. In the
nature of things he should be a re-
publican. But the mere fact that he is
a republican and good party worker
should not be his chief recommends
ton. He should be a man conversant
with labor conditions, well posted on
the labor laws, and with ability to
gather statistics that will be of value
to the workers in every branch of in
dustry Furthermore he should be a
man who will attend to the work him
self and not let a stenographer attend
to it while he sits around and draws
a salary for playing politics. There
are plenty of such men to be had
The Legislature will be doing an in
justice to the wage earners of the state
if it abolishes the bureau simply be-
cause former commissioners have not
performed their duties. That same
reason would come almighty near
abolishing every Office in the state.
Continue the labor bureau. Give "
commissioners some real powers. RI
force our labor laws where they

THIS MAKES US TIRED.

THIS MAKES US TIRED.
At recent gathering OF union men
one of those present, inquiring about /
a recent union enterprise, wanted to
know who was getting the "rake-off."
That's the chief trouble with the
union movement. The minute man
steps out and tries to do something
calculated to advance the case, some |
fellow gets up and wants to know,
Whats the graft?' Or he begins
thing about "rake-off.'
The men who try to do something
are "back-capped' by the do-nothings,
They are accused of being ambitious |
to become leaders, Their honesty is
impugned. Their efforts are discount
ed by men who are too Indifferent to
work themselves, but always ready to
knock" those who are willing to work
and make sacrifices of time and money
for the cause.
That sort of thing makes a man
tired
Now, if you really want to discour-
age the labor movement, The Wage.
worker will give you few rules guar
anteed to be effective.
If a man advocates an enterprise
in the name of organized labor, yell
"Grafter!"
If man expresses a. willingness to
work no -
the rake-off?'
If a man is asked to do committee
work and declines on account of lack
of time, yell e"Quitter."
If he accepts the appointment and
fails after doing the very best he can;
get up on your hind legs and boiler,
'Sold out!
Il an earnest union man begs his
fellows to get into the political game,
get around behind his back-the
further the better-and say: 20, he's
trying to get Office as union man.
If a man suggests something which
he thinks will benefit unionism, chase
around to all the union men you know
and tell them that he is trying 10

Get your hammers out and knock
like blazes.
Don't make the mistake of giving
your enterprising fellow unionists
credit for good intentions. That would
be fatal mistake
Just hammer away
Don't for minute admit that his
efforts have been of benefit to the
union. Gracious, that would be rank
violation of the constitution of the
Aralgamted Order of Knockers.
Knock like thunder! That's the sys-
tenn.
=. If you are afraid your throat will

When you can't hammer any other
way, hammer by machinery.
But don't forget to hammer. If you
let up for a minute somebody may
ask you why you don't pat in your
spare time trying to build up your
union.
This is sure way to kill the union |

DID exercise.
Knock, and knock like thunder.

Twenty years ago bookkeepers were
among the best paid workers in the
country, and fathers and plasterers
were among the poorest. The book
keepers were too good to organize and
affiliate with the men who wore dirty
overalls. AS result, bookkeepers are
now among the poorest paid workers
in any class. The fathers and plaster
ers organized with the result that
while bookkeepers' wages were cut in
half-the wages of fathers and plast-

Wealth, and that is by saving. Spend less than you
make and save the surplus and you no the

Good morals are fifty per cent good habits; and
the Saving Habit is of the best; it leads to
Moderation in all thinss-to Thrift and Economy.
The spendthrift habit is of the worst; it leads
&c Intemperance in all thinss-to vain display and
irregular living.
A sum of ready Money in the Savings Bank is
an insurance against worry. To provide for
rainy day is an act Of prudence; to neglect it,
act Of folly.
