QUEER UNIoNIsM.

Every day The Wageworker hears
merchants declare that union men
would rather pay $3.50 for suit of
"scab' clothing than $40 for a suit
that is union made. Time and again
The Wageworker has heard it charged
by merchants whose word is as good
as gold, that union men will not pay
IS cents for pair of union made over.
alls when they can get pair of
"scab" overalls for IS cents. Time and
again The Wageworker has heard I'M
ion men excuse their habit of chewing
'scab" tobacco by saying 81 just can't
chew union tobacco" And time and
again The Wageworker has heard un-
ion men say as they rolled cigarettes
made of "Puke's Mixture" or Bum
Durham" that 81 just can't use union
made smoking tobacco cause it makes
my mouth Sore"
The union man who prefers the
"scab" goods to union goods because
the "scab" goods are cheaper has no
reason to complain of a man who
hires non-union men because he can
get them for less wages. The printer
who buys "scab" clothing because they
are little cheaper must possess an
iron-clad cheek to complain of the
man who goes to non-union print
shop for his work because he can
get it done little cheaper than a
union shop can afford to do it. The
carpenter who is unwilling to pay a
little more for union made hat than
"scab" hat can be purchased for has
a lot of gall to complain Of the man
who builds a house with "scab" car
penters because he can get them for
less than the union wage scale.
AS union man you have no more
RICH: to buy "scab" goods than the
employer has to hire 'scab" work
men. In fact, you haven't nearly as
much right, for when you do buy
"scab" goods you violate your solemn
obligation not to give aid and comfort
to your enemies, while the employer
has taken no obligation, whatever.
The union man who knowingly buys
"scab" goods when union goods of the
same kinds are to be had, is guilty of
employing "scabs" to work for him.
More than that he is guilty of injur-
ing his fellow workmen by forcing
them to accept inferior wages, long
hours and frightful working condi-
tons.
Some union men right here in Lin
coin have criticized The Wageworker
for continually harping on this line.
They can criticize until hades boils
down to a poultice for all The Wage
worker cares. Its sole mission is to
advance the cause of organized labor,
and the best way to do that is to boost
the union labels-not alone the label
of the craft to which the editor is
proud to belong, but the labels of all
crafts whose members have organized
for mutual protection and benefit.
If you do not consistently and per-
sistently demand the union label you
are not as good union man as you
ought to be.
