and Still Working.
The current issue of the Stonecut-

lowing correspondence from Lincoln.
Is there an older union man in this
section than the writer of the letter?
If so The Wageworker wants to hear
from him:
Lincoln, Nebr, February 49, was
requested by the stonecutters a week
ago to say that they had been idle
a month"; and today, on receiving the
package of revised constitutions, 1 left

HOW ABOUT 1T, "DUckEY?"

Have you let the score card privi-
lege for Antelope park this season,
Manager Holmes? And if so, did you
make sure that the contract was let
to a man who would have it printed
in an Office that could legally put the
label on the job? If not, will you
kindly look after the matter? The
ira, and your influence will be all that
is necessary to make the job fair.
And it will make you even more
solid with the boys, 'Duckey" dear.
How about it?

For a Garden City Killing,

The case of Charles P Scott,
charged with killing his near neighbor,
George A. Deal, came up for trial at
Garden City, Kan, before Judge
Thompson
Charles Scott killed George Deal
eIqnoLL 'unSloqs ulIM OF IeqmeoeO
is said to have arisen between the two
over some cattle, and it was when
Deal rode over to Scott's range to
drive his stock home, at the request
of Scott, that the two men met in the
dark and Deals death resulted. Scott
gave himself up freely and pleaded
self-defense.

FOUND BOGUS LABELS.
BreitenstooI Goods Found to Be Bear
ing the Label Wrongfuly.


S. ]. Stcarns, representing the
United Garment Workers, was in Lin
coin last Tuesday looking up a wrong
full use of the label of his craft. The
attention of the executive council was
called to the fact that a lot of cloth
ing made by Breitenstool of Rochester,
n. Y, was being sold in Lincoln, bear
ing the label stitched in by hand.
These goods had been purchased by
the Armstrong Clothing Co. under the
supposition that the label was genuine.
A momen's investigation proved that
the company was wholly blameless,
the fault, lying with the manufacturing
concern. Mr.. Gavin, vice president of
the Armstrong Clothing Co. gave Mr..
Stearns every assistance in his power
to have the matter Strengthened out.
He endorsed every label, took every
one from the goods yet in stock, and
these labels were sealed in the pres
ence of witnesses and will be used in
a suit to b brought against the Breiten-
stool people. The prosecution will be
pushed to the limit.
I'VE bought these goods because
they bore the label" said Mr.. Gavin,
and we had no way of knowing that
the label had been used wrongfully.
AS soon as the facts were called. to
our attention we removed the label.
Under no consideration would we
knowingly lend our aid in the perpe-
tration of such a miserable fraud.
Anything we can do to punish these
wrongdoers we will cheerfully do,
depend on it,
For the information of the union
men The Wageworker will state that
the garment workers label is always
sewed in by machine, never by hand.
1t is sewed against the coat, not
against the pockets outside lining.
And if the entire suit is union made
the label will be attached to coat,
vest and pants. Remember these
facts.
