LABOR DAY CELEBRATIONS.

The practice of observing Labor
Day by extended parades is all right,
except that there may be better ways
OF celebrating the holiday 1t is an
parade calls attention to the fact that
while organized labor makes a big
showing when it comes TO marching
solidly it usually makes the mistake
of scattering on election day. When
the parade marches by the politicians
stand on the curbs and smirk and
smile, knowing full well that the solid
ranks of marchers will be hopelessiy
divided when it comes to something
tangible in the way of work for Or
ganized labor. For twenty years or
more the editor of this humble little
labor paper has marched every year
in the Labor Day parade, and he en-
joys it. But he is getting little
tired. What's the use of four-1ushing
on Labor Day and not making the
bluff good on every other day of the
year?
Every night for the next four weeks
committees will be meeting in every
organized city in the country, fixing
up plans for Labor Day parade The
same amount of work put into polit-
ical organization would result III some
thing worth while. The men who ex
plot labor are always willing tc let
organized labor shoot in the air. by
parading and having picnics. 1t is
when organized labor begins organic
ing for political action that the poll
tician gets busy and proceeds to ap-
peal to partisanship and tell US that
politics will disrupt the unions
The Wageworker is oppose! to con-
tinuing this parade business, although
the editor will parade if his union and
| other unions decide that it is the thing
to do. He'is getting wise TO The fact
that the parade brings a 1t of iusi-
| ness to men who care nothing for r
ganized labor save to exploit it. He
knows that one-half the energy con-
sumed in getting up a parade would,
if properly centered, elect half
dozen square-toed union men to Office
| in nearly every city in the country.
| He has figured out that tic morev
| spent in parading would buy a site for
a Labor Temple in nearly every or.
| ganized city in the country.
Let us make Labor Day holiday
| in fact as well as in manic. Then let
rs do all of our paradips en- election
day. marching in solid ranks to the
polls and voting like men, not like
political chattels.

Ever notice it? When men grow
rich and arrogant and begin to look
down upon workingmen, and refuse to
recognize union labor, they grow rot
ten morally. When Post got rich he
threw over his faithful wife and mar
ried a blooming stenographer whose
charms were fresher. When Corey of
the steel trust waxed rich and power
full he divorced his faithful wife in
order to revel in the charms of a va
riety actress. The rich aristocracy of
New York has divorced and married
and DIVORCED and married among
themselves until it is a wise child
that remembers it's mothers or it's
fathers name.

BURLINGTON FIRES EN-.
Members of Clerks Union Told t,
Take Their Clothes and Go.

Members of Clerks Union Told to
Take Their Clothes and Co.
The Burlington's real attitude to-
wards organized labor is shown by
the treatment accorded to clerks who
have had the hardihood to join the
Railway Clerks Union. Just as fast
as the recalcitrant clerks are discov-
cred they are told to take their coats
and go. Secretary Dunison, who was
employed at the Omaha freight house,
was fired just as soon as his connec-
ton with the union was made public.
One of the head men" in the Bur
lington freight department gave it out
cold the first of this week that men,
bership in the union certainly meant
discharge from the company's employ
The other railroads are not making
any particular stir about the matter
but it is noticed that every clerk
laid off is one whose name appears
on the membership rolls of the union
The Omaha local was organized about
three months ago, and it is said to
now have membership of about 500.
Work of recruiting is still going on,
but lot of weak-spined have wilted
before the arrogance of the Burlington
officials
The Burlington railway clerks
should be wise. Let them organize
quietly and perfect their organization
until it is in position to throw down
every other brotherhood on the system
provided it gets what it wants. Let
it develop a lot of shrewd political
manipulators who can lobby around
legislatures and plug conventions-all
on company time-and then it can Sc
cure recogniticns That's the way the
game has been worked elsewhere
by others.

Now comes the willy candidate with
smile so broad and bland, and grasps
the sweaty workingman and shakes
his horny hand He calls him
brother and declares with voice as
smooth as oil, that he is just the
greatest friend of all who have to toll
his honeyed way, but will forget the
workingman after election day.

The men who talk loudest in favor
of war are the men who are violently
opposed to unionism. And when the
war comes these opponents of union
ism remain at home and reap all the
profits, while union men and their
fellow workers go to the front and
shed all the blood necessary to pre-
serve the country.

HANGS Himself.

George Heitkamp, living at Belmont,
a Lincoln suburb, committed suicide
by hanging himself to the rafters of
his barn with strap. He was found
by his wife soon afterwards and was
cut down by neighbors. He died in a
few minutes after the strap was re-
moved from his neck.

variably show healthy increases a
compared to the assessed values las
wear and this would be indicative
of the possibility of a small reduc

In addition to the natural in
crease over the state the findings
of the state tax board on the intansi-
bles was an immense increase, De-
ing in the neighborhood OF 81 90

on the tax rolls at the exact value
given. Last year the values We're cut
down everywhere. They We're certi-
fled at about St61 900, 600, but the
total that got on the rolls was about
$2t. 100000 Not so this year, as
the intervening legislature amended
