The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1908-03-21

The silver ball in honor of the Ne
braska Press association given by Lin
coin Typographical Union No. 209 last
week was record-breaking social
event in the history of that union. 1t
was jolly crowd-with Governor
Sheldon and his beautiful wife, who
is the queen OF jolliers, leading the
grand march, with Capital Auxiliary's
handsome women doing the enter
tanning equally as we'll as our owr
auXiliary-and that is the best in the
world. The country editors appreciated
the unions courtesy so much that
ii ey presented the union with beau
tiful water service. Hugh McVicke:.
q charter member of No. 209, spoke
briefly to the editors Oh the history
or the union. Fraternity hall was
crowded to it's utmost capacity with
editors, printers and their friends, AMI
No. 200 and Capital Auxiliary hav"
reason to be proud of that evenings
entertainment We danced our fool
heads off, till a. M, and came with

Somehow, this missing the train has
become dangerously near a habit

THE MACHINISTS,

The failure of the International AS
scciation of Machinists, and other en-
ployes of the Southern railway, to
reach an agreement on proposed re-
ouction OF wages and similar condi-
tons existing on many of the large
trunk lines of the country, particularly
ir the south, looks ominous for the
sy stems involved and the army Of
wage-earners employed on these roads
1t is the purpose of the railroads as
we'll as the organized labor bodies to
ask the commissioner Of labor and
the interstate commerce commission
to take the whole matter up and see
if the trouble cannot be adjusted. One
thing seems certain, that the machin-
lists and locomotive engineers will not
stand for reduction OF wages as pro
posed.

James Monroe Kreiter has this to
say in the last issue of the Washing.
ton Trades Unionist: President
Lynch was in Washington for four
days the other week, but If he adj
vlsed methods to unionize unfair
printing offices there has been no evi-
dence of it. Other presidents have
been defeated because they neglected
their work" Isn't this a little too
much? What does Brother Kreiter
expect, anyway, when the campaign
for international offices is on? Does
he expect man to go back on the
training of lifetime? And didn't Mr.
Lynch get what he probably went
fcr-the Endorsement of the Washing
ton Typographical union of his can.
Gidacy for denomination as president
OF the I. T. u, which he deemed nee
essary to his success? True, the in
dorsement was secured for him only
by the skin OF his teeth, but, then, he
got it just the same. And, besides, it
didn't cost SO much, after all. The

THE SOCIAL SIDE
TWO VALUABLE CIVIL


 Three weeks ago the home of Miss Kettle Belle on Moulton Street caught Are in the roof, but few of their friends have learned the story of the fact that war were found--two relics that tell of fha story of the deaths of two young soldiers who lost their lives for the cause of the Confederacy
 The firemen made an entrance into me roof from the hall way on the sec ond floor to extinguish the blaze. and afferwards members of the family re- calling the fact that some things had bean put up there years ago, sent little John Randolph into the roof to search for whatever might be found. He re- turned with his face bright with joy, thinking he had found swords that had belonged to his grandfather, as this residence was formerly the home of his great grandmother. Mrs. w. B. Bell.
 If was found that one of the two swords discovered in the roof was that which had belonged to Captain Henry liam Aliens stan, who was killed in ekirmfsh near Marietta, Ga. on June I6. 1864. The other was that or Lieu 42nd Alabama. who was killed near Atlanta, fell into the hands of the ene- my. and was never heard of again.
 These two young Confederate sol- diers were sons of the late Judge A. B. Cooper, the noted lawyer of Wilcox County, who was a nephew of Mrs. w. 5. Bell. whose great-grandson, Master John Randolph, has discovered these silent witnesses of those troublous times" forty-four years after the scene of the struggle was enacted.
 These swords were taken from the bodies of the young soldiers after they were shot. and were. with the watch of Captain Miller Cooper. sent to their aunt Mrs. Bell, who later, when she heard that the Yankees were about to enter Montgomery. secreted them in the roof for safe-keeping.
 Captain Miller Cooper's remains were sent to Montgomery and inferred in oakwood Cemetery in Mrs. Bells fami- Iy burying ground. Miss Betty Bell still keeps the telegram that. forty -four years ago, was sent by Captain Charles & Pollard, bearing the sad tidings of the death of the young soldier. The telegram reads: Captain Cooper. A. A. O., Aliens Brigade. was killed this evening. Body will leave here twelve touight.

ATLANTA A MILLINERY MART.

The wonderful growth of Atlanta is in no way better illustrated than by the fact that 1t Is now the recognized millinery center of the South. The formation of the Atlanta Millinery As sociation Is chiefly responsible for this remarkable showing. Comprising such widely known firms as M, Kutz 6 Co.. J. Regenstein & O.. and Ernest l.. Rhodes, this association is now one Of the strongest In the country.
 In establishing Atlanta as the great millinery Center of the Southland, mer- chants have been brought from Vfr- gfnia to Texas to this city for trade. The great good that 1t has accomplish ed for Southern milliners and mep- chants can hardly be estimtaed. Thanks to the energy and enterprise of this association and modern business meth- ods of the successful business men who are it's directors, the retail milliner or merchant finds the same great display of stock which formerly belonged only to New York.
 While the visiting merchant finds the same prices in Atlanta as in New York, the saving In the matter of n1ile- age and a short haul in freight reduces the expenses of his business in prac-' ticaI way that has resulted In bringing to Atlanta hundreds and hundreds of merchants who formerly were com pelIed to go to New York and pay the much heavier freight tolls. adv

Decat6r, Feb 15.-(Special. .l-Notices are posted on the gates or the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad shops in New Decatur to the effect that these shops will be closed down on Febru- ary 33 and February 27.
 This is done for the purpose of re- ducing expenses, which the officials say they are forced to do on account of the falling off in freight and passenger business and also on account of adverse railroad legislation.
 in these shops has been reduced fully 20 per cent. Only a few weeks ago an order was received for the building of 500 new freight cars in these shops, This order has since been cancelled and the present indications are that no more new cars will be built here for several weeks. It may be several months before any more new cars are built here.
