Of trespass to-day. The charge was pre-

store. an old building adjoining was torn

feet one half of which the owners Of the
Arcade Building utilized and on the other
foot and half the hotel man gave the

Whatever may be the offenses of or

came accustomed to the darkness of
the mines this expense was avoided.
The first time in history that the
public ever dared ask parliament for
laws to protect women and children
was in the. year of our Lord 1900
after an epidemic of fever among
these under ground workers. The pro-
lection which parliament accorded was
TO restrict the hours of labor for chill.

However bad the conditions in Eng

Yet prominent Christian people de

age and hours for children to labor

with the liberty of the employer.

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Slim Attendance Prevents Election Of
Offices Till Next Time.

slim Attendance Prevents Election Of
Offices Till Next Time.
Owing to the slim attendance at the
Central Labor Union meeting last
Tuesday evening the election of Off
GERS for the ensuing term was put
over until the next regular meeting.
The odd Tuesday since the last Janu-
ary meeting seems to have mixed the
delegates little in their dates, and
fas a result less than a dozen dele
gates were present when President
Smith raped for order.
The executive committee reported
that it had not been able to finish it's
Investigation of the books of the ex-
secretary and asked and was granted
a little further time in which to fin
ish up. The books are in bad shape,
but it is the general belief of the in
Ivestigators that the shape of the books
| is due almost wholly to carelessness,
and that no loss to the central body
will result
| A committee composed of Messrs.
Smith, Kelsey and Maupin was ap-
pointed to take preliminary steps
looking towards the organization of a
| State Federation of Labor
| Messrs. Slammed and Donahue,
members of the Omaha Central Labor
Union were present lat the meeting
and were called upon for short talks
They came to Lincoln to appear be-
fore the judiciary committee of the
senate in advocacy of the child labor
bill. Mr.. Donahue made strong ar
gument before the committee and was
listened to with close attention.
These gentlemen asked the Lincoln
central body to endorse the McMullen
liability bill now before the house,
and as there was no one present to
explain the bad features of that bill,
and it's lack of protection for others
than the employees of common car
riers, the endorsement was given. The
argument used was that because the
Omaha central body had endorsed the
bill the Lincoln central body ought
to do the same thing
Despite the small attendance the
meeting last Tuesday night was I'M
usually interesting and those who
were present were well repaid for
their effort in attending.

the stenographer!!

WHAT'S THE ANSWER.

The February issue of THE Square
Deal,' official organ Of the National
Association of Manufacturers, and
edited by Charles w. Post, husband
of the stenographer and union buster
extraordinary and strike-breaker pleni-
potentiary, carries upon it's title page,
in large letters, the following:
And, further, it is assumed that
whoever is once hired laborer is fixed
in that condition for life. Many
independents pen everywhere in these
states, fe1 years back in their lives,
,weer hired borers. The prudent,
penniless be. ner in the world labors
for wages aw lie, saves surplus with
self, then lal account
for another Zngth hires
another ne~o0eg{hner to help him.
This is the just and generous and
prosperous system which opens the
way to all-gives hope to all, and con-
sequent energy and progress and i'm
provement of condition to all. No
men living are more worthy to be
trusted than those who toll up from
poverty-none less inclined to take
or touch aught which they have not
honestly earned"-Abraham Lincoln.
Just why Mr.. Post should have dis
played this so conspicuously is mys-
terry. Certainly he did not mean to
convey the impression that Abraham
Lincoln was opposed to trades unions
and an advocate of the open shop. We
say certainly he did not mean to con-
vey such false impression, for Mr..
Post says he is an honorable man, and
an honorable man would not lie, even
by inference.
We have it from the records that
Abraham Lincoln was a believer in
trades unions, that he was opposed to
the strike-breaking tactics of men like
Parry and Post, and that he was AN
advocate of the closed shop. We cor
daily invite Mr. Post to scan the rec
ord.
During the early stages of the war
the union printers engaged upon a
certain daily paper in St. Louis struck
against intolerable conditions. Imme-
diately the general in command of the
troops at St. Louis detailed a number
of printers found among the soldiers
to take the places of the strikers. The
printer-soldiers could do nothing but
obey, it being the command of SUI
rerior officer. Immediately the strik-
ing union printers forwarded a COM
plant to President Lincoln, and as
soon as the wires could return an an
swer President Lincoln countermand-
ed the order of the general in COM
mand and ordered the printer-soldiers
back to camp. Then President Lin
coin set forth in words that could not
be mistaken his determination not to
tie partner in the crime of trying to
tlefeat the efforts of the workingmen
who were trying to better their condi-
ton in life. He "scorched" the strike
breaker in words that will endure long
after Mr.. Posts tombstone has crum-
b;ed 20 dust, and long after the court
records of his divorce and the mar
riage records bearing his name and
that of the fluffy-haired stenographer
have faded away.
Search history as he will, Mr.. Post
v ill not find one fair-minded mana
laan above the dictates of selfish in
terest-who opposes unionism and ad-
vocates strike-breaking after the
manner advocated by the Post-Parry
outfit
If Mr.. Post is not too busy squan-
derinp upon the stenopranher the mon.
