NEW CITY DIRECTORY.
A Credit to the Publishers and to the
City.

1t gives The WageworAer great
pleasure to mention in it's first home
patronage" edition the new city di-
rectory just issued by the North Print
ing Co. This is purely a home pro-
duct. 1t was compiled by citizens Of
Lincoln, and the mechanical work was
performed by Lincoln workmen
Nothing finer or more complete in the
way of city directory was ever Of
fered the people of this city From a
mechanical standpoint it furnishes CON
vincing proof that Lincoln can furnish
the best talent to be found in the print
ing art. From every other standpoint
1t eXcels in equal measure. 1t Is the
largest directory ever issued for the
city, and it is.evident that the business
men stood by the enterprise.
The Wageworker has taken to it.
self some credit for the success of the
new directory. The local printing
crafts started the fight in favor of a
home product, and The Wageworker
carried it to the attention of the
people most interested-the local mer-
chants. AS a result the North Print

THE PREVAILING COMPLAINT.
Think You Are Going to Croak, ane
Afraid You Won't.

People call it 1.-The grip That's as
good q name as any, although you
wish when you are in the grip OF the
grip that you could just let loose and
call 1t any old name you wanted to.
The first signs you see-or feel, rather
is a tickling sensation in the back
of your throat and a slight yellow
sensation in the front of your head.
You go to bed feeling as if somebody
had fed you on powdered castor Oil
and the stuff had caked around your
tonsils, and when you wake up in the
morning you feel as If you had been
jerked sidewise and lengthwfSe and
endwise through a vat of distilled
essence of accumulated human ills.
You have a taste in your mouth that
makes the morning after seem like
the ambrosia of the gods, and you
ache all over. You feel as if you were
going to lay right down and die, and
the only thing that keeps you from
doing 1t is the fear thta you won't
die quick enough.
Your wife asks you how you feel,
and before you are halfway through
with the answer she has a finger in
each ear and is exclaiming through
her tears that she is going right home
to ma if you don't quit talking that
way. Your nose feels like description
of Mount Vesuvius in action, and while
part of your arteries are running liquid
lead the rest of 'em are running ice
water. Your eyes feel like two holes
burnt in a blanket. and each individ
ual hair on your head feels like bit
OF annealed wire being bored through
your scalp to find a place to clinch
You try to eat, and everything tastes
alike-just like remorse. You draw
up to the fire and shiver till you shake
the crockery off the pantry shelf, ans
then you quit shivering long enough

PLUMBERS, NEWS.
Getting Busy and Growing in Numbers
Very Rapidly. @

The local unions sanitary commit
tee has been doing some very effective
work of late. The attention of prop
erty owners and the, plumbing inspec-
tor has been called to several jobs
where plumbing installed in improper
and dangerous manner was ordered
changed.
The organization of the masters in
our craft has been effected in this city,
with ten shops represented, or at least
that is the rumOr II this organization
would cooperate with the journeymen
with view of enforcing state laws
and city ordinances now on the books,
instead of the single narrow idea of re-
ducing wages and further debasing
our conditions, we would hail the
news Our interests are identical from
sanitary standpoint; why not work
on harmonious lines to the betterment
of the trade?
Bro. A. " White has represented
our interests SO faithfully during his
first weeks service as business agent
that he was instructed to continue the
good work The recent additions to
our ranks have been SO numerous that
we look forward to solid union town
before the birds sing.
The drain-layers of the city have
held two meetings of late, with the
majority of their trade represented,
and formed temporary organization.
The evil of sub-contracting was dis
cussed and harmonious feeling ef-
fected with the journeymen plumbers.
by which they will be permitted to in
stall the water pipe to the basement
from street, and repair all hydrants
and iron pipe in ground outside build
ings. This much abused craft should
certainly receive more than laborers
wages, and by their present move will
no doubt soon be in more prosper
GUS condition.

IS IT a GOLD eRlck7
Has Higgins Handed the Pressmen's
Union a Huge Lemon?

If the press dispatches have not
cruelty slandered Martin Higgins,
president of the International Press
mems and Assistants Union, has hand
ed the rank and file large and very
sour lemon. 1t is reported on seem
ingly good authority that Higgins has
signed "a contract with the United
Typothaete whereby the union is
bound for a period of five years to an
open shop contract, the eight hour day
to be granted two years from now.
If it is true that President Higgins
has signed an open shop contract he
should receive jolt from the rank
and file that will jar his back teeth
loose. If the open shop at all, in
heavens name why saddle contract
on the loyal union pressmen who have
been paying heavy assessment for
eight hour day? A contract to work
in an open shop is adding insult to
injury.
And why should any kind of con-
tract have been made with the mori-
bund and discredited Typothaete? 1t
is about the deadest thing in the way
Of an industrial organization that one
could imagine.
There is no doubt that the pressmen
received the tarred end of the stick
from the Typographical Union year
or two ago, but that is no reason why
Higgins should sacrifice his own men
in order to play even with the head
men of the printers. And if Higgins
has signed the kind Of contract
claimed in the dispatches he has sac
rificed his own union. More than that,
yhe has delivered the union pressmen
bound hand and foot to a conscience
less lot of employers who have patted
Higgins on the back, only to laugh at
him after getting him sewed. up in a
sack.
Local pressmen do not understand
the matter at all. 1t seems that they
have been left altogether in the dark,
and that all they have been asked to
do is to put up the money. For Gods
sake hand over the assessment, boys;
we'll spend it!' And the good money
they have put up has been used to
buy real nice Typothaete gold brick
If all reports are true.

To the seventy-two gentlemen who
voted for this bill The Wageworker
desires to return the hearty thanks
of the whole vast body of wage, earn
ers. They will also receive the thanks
of the splendid women and the cour-
ageous men who have helped to make
public sentiment on this important
question.
1t seems remarkably queer that men
claiming to be intelligent enough to
be lawmakers should have opposed
this bill on the ground that it would
prevent farmers from employing their
own children on rhe IA Gun. The Wage
worker gives the oppone,' OF the bill
credit for being honest in their de-
cleration that they opposed it because
they thought it would interfere with
children on the farm. But If they
were lawmakers in another state and
opposing similar bill on similar
grounds, we would be very much in
clined to believe that they were not
telling the exact truth. This farm
labor" business has been used as a
club to defeat beneficial child labor
legislation ever since the editor of
this little newspaper has been carry
ing a union card, and he has carried
a card more years than some Nebras-
Ko legislators have been voting.
We are just a bit disappointed in
Speaker Nettleton. We thought he
was too big and too broad to be de-
ceived by that farm labor" feature.
But II the bill will prevent farmer
from driving his children to toll harder
than the average slave had to perform
and children Of. Nebraska farms
have thus driven-then the bill is even
better than we thought u was. There
is an awful lot of rot" sprung every
day in the year about the benefits
of having been brought up on farm
There are lot of Nebraska farm
children who need the protecting hand
of the law.
1t is to be hoped that the bill will &c
through the senate without. opposition
In the meanwhile let every union man
cut out the names of the sixteen gen
tlemen who voted against this splendie
child labor bill and paste the lis
where 1t can be seen-especially or
future election days. We give then
again-this time in blackface letter:
so that they may be read at dis
tance:
Adams, Funk, GIiem, Hagemeister
Hill, Lahners, Mackey, Mariatt, Marsh
Masters, Murphy, PiIger, Richardson
stolx, volaIensky, Nettieton.

TYPOGRAPHICAL UNl6N.
Next Sunday Should See Every Mem
ber on Hand on Time.

The Typographical Union will meet
at Bohanans hall next Sunday The
change in meeting place is made in
anticipation of the largest turnout in
many months, owing to the pressing
business to be transacted. Every
member should realize the necessity
of being on hand when the presidents
gavel falls.
In addition to other important busi-
ness the committee on observance OF
the twenty-sixth anniversary of the
union will make it's report and sub
committees will be announced. This
is going to be the greatest anniversary
in the history of the local, and in
after years you will be proud if you
do your share in making it such.

through the financial arteries Of the
United Stctes and relieve the needs
Of agriculture and other industries
generally. Gold importers state that
nearly all Of the $21, 100000 which has
already reached here will soon find its
way to every quarter Of the country
Nearly s12,0OO,OOO has been slipped
to the interior this week. Gold has
been shipped from here to Chicago IN
such large amounts, It Is understood
In local banking circles, that the IS
suance Of circulating bank scrip In
Chicago possibly may not be neces-

Never In the history Of New York
finances, according to gold importers,
has there been 80 much money en-.
gagged abroad by out-of-town banks as
at present.
"There need be no fears" said Q
member Of one of the largest gold
importing firms Friday night. that
there will be cessation OF gold imports
because Of the increase in the dis
count rates Of the banks Of England
and Germany. These increases in the
discount rate were not made for the
purpose Of stopping gold from COM
ing to this country as is popularity
supposed, but to strengthen their own
position by drawing gold from other
centers In the world. There is q heavy
outward movement of American com.
modities and until they are paid for,
We can demand our payments in gold
and it can not be denied US. The gold
that we are importing Is coming In
every form, though principally in
American double eagles. ! know that
within a year the Russian imperial
treasury had $15O,0OO, 900 in American
double eagles boarded In its vaults
while the Bank of England has many
millions of dollars Of American gold
coin. We sold a bank Thursday
81, 25O,OOO in gold which was Friday
dispatched to the banks out-of-town
correspondents. Without doubt the
greater part Of the gold imports are
being sent to the country banks who
are making their demands on the
local institutions for their balances"
Figures compiled Friday by New
York banks show that banking centers
throughout the United States have
drawn nearly s12,OO0,OOO from this
city within the week. OF this sum
over $5,OOO,OOO was sent through the
sub.treasury.
