member that it was not SO much slump

1t was all the more meritOrious from the
fact that the Tigers. instead of faltering on
the road. have made substantial gains. On
their present eastern trip they have won
six games and lost only one. While they
were doing this the Athletics We're losing

PYthian Social Session.

The Pythian Sisters held a most
pleasant social session last evening
ut Fraternal hall, at the conclusion
OF the business session. The amuse-
ment for the evening was the selection
by the men, OF their partners. This
was carried out in a unique manner.
The women were placed behind cur
tains with their feet projecting out.
1t was noticeable that the large
men selected small feet and small
men large feet. This offered much
amusement inasmuch as some Of the
largest men selected the smallest
women. Lunch was served. The
evening was one of the most enjoy
able the lodge ever gave. There will

MNJUNcTIoN TAFT"

The managers of the Taft presiden-
tial boom are hearing from the men
who work in the shops, mills and fac
tories, and what they hear is not cal
culated to make the Taft balloon rise
any higher The nomination of Taft
will be notice to every union man in
the country that his vote is not wanted.
Taft is the original Injunction judge,
and his record in that direction is
almost as bad as that of the notorious
Judge Jackson of West Virginia, who
actually enjoined a minister of the
gospel from praying for striking
miners.
In due time the Injunction record
of Taft will be made so plain that
every union man in the country who
has enough self-respect to stand up for
his rights as a citizen will proceed
merrily to knife the candidate at every
turn of the road.

THE LABOR TEMPLE PLAN.

Every union man in Lincoln who is
at all interested in the Labor Temple
plan should make it a point to attend
the Central Labor Union meeting next
Tuesday evening, 1884 o street. At
that time plans will be laid for the
pushing of the work. Without any
soliciting other than appeals through
the columns of The Wageworker, more
than 81 900 has already been sub
scribed. If score of earnest union
men would devote one day each to
soliciting subscriptions for stock in the
Labor Temple Building Association,
the money for the erection of the
building would be in sight.
There are about 500 Elks in Lin
coin, yet this comparatively small num-
Der have erected a building costing
dred union craftsmen ought to be able
to come halfway in paralleling the
work of the Elks. Decatur, Illinois, a
city not much more than half the size
of Lincoln, has a Labor Temple that
costs $40, 900. There are twice as many
union men in Lincoln as there are in
Decatur.
The plan is a feasible one. All that
is necessary is to get the unionists
aroused to it's ease of operation and
its desirability.
Come up to the Central Labor Union
meeting next Tuesday night and smoke
a good union made cigar while arrang
ing plans that will result in the cree
