WAGES IN LINCOLN

The Wageworker has been accused of inconsist-
ency in advocating the patronage of home industry
in breath and condemning home industry in
another breath. The possessed of feeble
dscernment. There lot of home Industries that
The Wageworker does not believe in patronizing and
promoting Some of them found where the red
lights glitter. Others located where the tele
graph sounder makes noise and the operator marks
figures on blackboard. The Wageworker would not
advocate tn lRtronage Of the saloon industry
The Wageworker does, however, advocate the pol
icy Of spending money earned in Lincoln with those
firms and institutions that worthy of the patron
age of wage-earners. There are Lincoln firms in
line of business, nearly who are fair and who
deserving of the patronage of every wage-earner
in the city.
There is earthly why single dollarvof
Lincoln earned money should be sent out Of the city
for -four. There is no earthly reason why single
suit of clothing should be purchased with Lincoln
. earned money from any catalogue house in Chicago
elsewhere There is reason why single article
of hardware, of lumber manufacture, of headgear,
footwear neckwear, or bodywear should be pur-
chased with Lincoln earned money from merchants
doing business outside of Lincoln.
What is true of the wage-earner is also true of the
retailer in large measure. Retail grocers of Lincoln
should buy their goods of Lincoln wholesalers Re-
tail druggists should purchase their stock of Lincoln
wholesalers whenever possible
But it should not be expected that union men will
pursue the home patronage policy to the extent Of
patronizing their industrial enemies.
The home patronage policy, carried to it's logical
conclusion, would mean more for Lincoln during the
next ten years than anything that has ever before
added to its prosperity. 1t would furnish employ
ment to more wage-earners, tend to increase wages
build up the commercial Interests, and make Lincoln
bigger and better city.
Lincoln wage-earners shorri6 get behind the home
patronage movement 1t will be missionary work
for the of unionism Lincoln housewives wives
of business and professional men well the wives
of mechanics, should spend the money earned by
their husbands with the business of Lincoln.
Let us keep all the Lincoln made money right here
in Lincoln that we possible can. Home first, the
world afterward,' may be slogan that sounds
selfish but enlightened self-interest is what this
city needs right now.
And Lincoln S interests should be paramount with
Lincoln wage-earners.

On Horse Goods celebrated the fourth
ann ersary of the organization OF

of a ball. which was given at A. o. U.

ganization, was a social and financial
success The committee on arrange
ments attended to their duties in a
manner that warded off all criticism,
and the floor con: mittee saw to it that
everybody had good time.
The local union is in good shape;

Items Of Interest for the Boys Behind
the Traps.
The Plumbers Union of Chicago is
preparing a letter to President Roose-
welt asking what he thinks of the
unions scheme to give a bonus Of
500 for a baby, 5000 for twins and
$500 for triplets. The WageWorker
opines it would be a good thing. 1t
will give little priza of IS to the first
set of twins born to union plumber
and his wife in the city of Lincoln, and
a fine baby carriage to the first set of
triplets born to a Lincoln plumber and
his wife. This same offer holds good
with any union man and his wife in
Lincoln.
Many members of the United Asso-
citation of Plumbers, Gas Filters and
Steam Filters are urging that the or
ganization establish home for the
aged and infirm, along the same lines
as the typos.
The steamfitters and helpers of the
Pittsburg district have secured an adj

PREssMEN RENEW CONTRACTS.
For Five Years and Get Eisht-Hour
Day January /, 1909.

The following from the Washington
Trades Unionist will take load of
the minds of the Lincoln pressmen,
but we should wait until it is officially
confirmed before jubilating very
strongly:
The Philadelphia Ledger Of the 8th
instant says: "The executive council
OF the International Printing Press
man and Assistants Union and com
mittec from the United Typothetae OF
America met in Philadelphia on Tues
day and an agreepent was entered
into renewing the present contract for
five years, with a provision for inaug-
urating the eight-hour day on jan
uary l, 1909.
This is compromise. The press
men wanted the eight-hour day to be-
gin next May, when the present con-
tract expires. 1t will affect about IA
coo men in this country and Canada,
who are employed in. book nd jjsl.,
printing offices and are what are
known at "fat-bed" pressmen
The job and web pressmen have dis
solved and will organize separately in
Denver
Lincoln pressmen are kept busy
these days. Work was never better
in the city.

OPPORTUNITY FOR
WOMEN and GIRLS


Lincoln women who want to secure splendid jobs
paying magnificent rate Of wage should hasten to
consult Secretary Whtten of the Commercial Club
The daily papers state that the Commercial Club has
opportunity to land big commercial enterprise
in Lincoln provided it's promoters can be assured
that they plenty of female help for the
factory. 1t wants hundred women and girls
starter and promises to double the force in very
short time.
The promoters generously offer to pay rate of
wage that will allow the female workers to from
sEFOUR TO TWELVE DOLLARS A WEEK.
OF the concern wants to employ gar
ment workers who run heavy sewing machines
and it expects to pay FOUR DOLLARS A WEEK.
Lincoln needs lot Of industries like that. Women
who want to work for FOUR DOLLARS A WEEK,
and board and clothe themselves should make great
haste to register their names with Secretary Whit
ten.
After the women have paid their board and rent,
laundry bills and clothing bills out of their FOUR
DOLLARS A WEEK, they will find Lincoln mer-
chants and Lincoln banks eagerly bidding for their
surplus

A COMMUNICATION
Flagstaff, Ariz., Oct. 8, 'O7.

ldgSldI, ATlZ., OCL. O, 1UI. Editor W ILLIAMs NEWS.
 Dear Sir: A few weeks ago your valuable paper contained A Com munlcatiun" at which some of the ladies of Williams seemed to be offended, and inferred that you had lowered the standard of the paper by publishing the communi- cation.
 1 wish to say, at this time, that my husba nd and 1 are readers of your good paper, and, Tn fact, can, get along without it, and our judgment is that the standard of the News has been raised. and today is better paper and has larger circulation than any other paper in Coconino county.
 And if 1 remember right, while other papers of the so-called high standard were publishing articles and their readers having the buck and doe fever about Nan Patterson. rhaw and White, the Williams News stood above publishing the details or any article concerning the cases of such immoral beings.
 And, if you please, there are jus, such people here in Flagstaff, ar was mentioned in that communi- cation; one, in particular, who lives near me. and borrows the Williams News. Now, really, 1 am not say ing too much when 1 say tn, husband has smiled at other ladies SO often that he has had his ears ''set back" at least. three times And the wife has so many smiles for other men that her pearly teeth have decayed from exposure to the high altitude weather, and somt now call her "snag tooth"
 But why should that communi cation hurt our feelings as long as we do right? am we'll aware oi fthe fact that the life of a news, paper man is a hard one, and tha, he tries to please every one and seldom pleaees any one. Persons sometimes go to his office to kicl him. and many others stay outsid. and kick. Others. whom the edito' or some of his "pencil pushers' meet and ask for news item. ge' as mad and red in the gills as turkey gobbler.
 Now. one and all. please tell mt what we, YOU and the others would do without newspaper? Why your town would soon go to the dogs. The editor is the man who boosts the town. and tells you what others are doirg. and tells how good you were, after you are dead Nothing happens without the editors notice. Really. it costs the town nothing for all it's free advertising that the editor gives.
 Respectfully yours,
 ANNA ANDERSON.

Makes Success of Logging in Arizona

w. B. Mershon, of Bay City. Mich, forwards a photograph, here with reproduced, of couple of car loads of logs of the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Co.,, hauled over the logging road of the company at Williams, Ariz. They run four and one-half to the thousand, western yellow pine, and run we'll to shop lumber. MT. Mershon and w. s. Humphrey, both stockholders in this company, have just returned from meeting of the directors at Williams and speaking of the trip he said:
 We spent four days at the mill and in the woods and took Sunday to go up to the Grand Canyon, a trip never before had taken, and l intend to go again. as it is the grandest piece of nature I have ever seen.
 The Saginaw & Manistee Lum- Der company is operating very successfully. Plenty of rain in Arizona has solved the water question for the time. The desert is covered with verdure and bloom and the cattle and sheep look thrifty. 1 think the Indians have corn patches enough through New Mexico to offset any possible short age in Kansas or some. of the older corn growing states.
 We are cutting about 10000 feet day on an average and have two band mills and a Mershon Saginaw resaw. One day while we were there the mill cut was some thing over 172,O00 feet. We run day times only and ten hours a day. There was no timber made in this days cut. not over a car load of railroad ties. the rest being boards and blanks, largely 14 inch, as this pine is suitable for door making. The shop and better mostly comes into the Wisconsin and Indiana district A good deal of the common lumber. molding and that sort of thing is being sold in Kansas. The box lumb Der ie manufact right at the factory into boxes for California trade. and i the medium grades of common. ties etc are largely used in Ari- zona. We expect to manufacture at least 3OOOO.OOO yerr, and 90 far have found trade very good We have just installed a new steam loader in the woods and have no in keeping the mill supplied with a train of about 1 thirty cars a day regularly - American Lumberman, Sept. 2S.
