taat his visit will have beneficial re-

Next to the Bartenders' Union the
C;garmakers' Union is perhaps the
most interested in the outcome of the
present local option fight. If prohi-
bition carries, IS per cent of the local
cigarmakers will be thrown out of
work. Not more than half of the
members are working now, owing to
the fact that their largest customers.
the saloon men, are not placing any
orders. During his stay in the city,
Mr. Thompson visited as many unions
as he could and made interesting AMI
effective label talks.
Ninety per cent of the cigars sold
in Lincoln are made elsewhere, most
of them by the tobacco trust, which
employs boys and girls on machines
at starvation wages.
Business is extremely dull with the
local cigarmakers, and the outlook is
not considered bright.

From now on the directors will work

Union men as individuals. and unions

LABOR SERMONS
~. "LAeoR,s MEMORIAL SUNDAY

To recognize service which was
rendered the labor movement by
men and women in the past is a most
commendable thing. Rarely do we say
THANK you At any rate, we do
rot say it often enough, nor always
to the folks who deserve it most.
Most desirable, then. is the resolu-
ton passed by the last convention OF
the American Federation of Labor.
that the second Sunday in May be
hereafter observed as "Labor's Me-
mortal Sunday
Now let's work it up. Make the
day really worth while. 1t will put
strength into the arms of those VINO
are bearing the burdens of labor to-
day. 1t will quicken the blood of those
who are often downcast because of
the apparent Indifference of the men
and women for whom they are pa
tiently toiling, in one of the most diff
ficult tasks of the times. Heavier
and more heavy are these tasks be-
coming.
May suggest that the central
bcdies and the local unions in every
city seek to enlist the sympathy and
the service OF the ministers in their
respective towns? l shall suggest %
the pastors of eleven thousand Pres
byterian churches throughout the
United States that they observe the
second Sunday in May as Labor
Sunday" Let's get together on the
job, and make it of such Importance
that everywhere it will be known that
labor is having it's day. and once
again desires the world to know that
tits great movement of the common
people is making progress in matters
which must commend themselves to
the people as a whole.-Rev. Charles
Stelzle.

ANOTHER YEAR ENDED

that time it has never missed an is
sue nor lost an opportunity to boost
for unionism.
On the whole they nave been four
pleasant years. although now and then
the shedding was pretty hard. That
The Wageworker has broken all rec
ords for labor papers in Lincoln is due
to the loyal support of minority of
the local unions. From the start it
has had the unwavering support of
the Printers, Pressmen, Bartenders,
Brickiayers, Boolsbinders, BARRIERS, and
Plumbers, and part of the time the
support Of the Carpenters and Locomo-
tive Engineers. 1t has also had the
loyal support of the Central Labor
Union. and the support of several hun
bred invidual unionists who have lost
no opportunity to advance the papers
interests.
The Wageworker cheerfully admits
that it has made mistakes, and willing
ly acknowledges it's regrets therefore.
But it expects to keep right on MAX
ing mistakes because it's editor is just
fallible human being. a mere me-
chanic who learned what little he
Knows about the newspaper business
and the labor game by hard knocks in

But he has done his level best,
sometimes under very strenuous con-
ditions. If there is any union man in
Lincoln who thinks it's it soft snap"
to keep labor paper going week after
week without getting so deep in the
red ink side of the. ledger that he
can never swim oft, he can acquire a
lot Of experience on a pretty small IN
itial investment.
But 1t has paid big dividends to the
editor in pleasure-pleasure that he
could boost for the cause of unionism
and pleasure because he could land an
occasional blow on the enemies OF
unionism. That sometimes, is better
than dollars in the pocket.
To the loyal bunch of boys-and
girls. too, thank you-who have stood
by US, overlooking our shortcomings
and too often praising our feeble eff
forts, The Wageworker returns its
grateful thanks. 1t asks a continuance
