The Wageworker wants to call the
attention of its readers to the candi-
dacy of Josiah NJ. Shively for the re-
publican nomination for commissioner
of public lands and buildings. Mr..
Shively has served as deputy commits
sioner for the last four years and is
thoroughly qualified for the Office. Be
cause the editor of The Wageworker
has known joe for fifteen years. and
because he is friend, this little paper
is frank to say that it wants to see
Joe" win out. He has no union OPP
ponent, therefore there is no union

support of every republican, and the
union man who supports him can be
assured that he is supporting an al
mighty good man.

no speaking on Labor Day, owing to
the impossibility of securing some

UNION TAlLoRs ARRESTED.
Common Scheme Again Undertaken to
Discredit the Unions.

0tSSs V0ss sssS Ss'SssSs
Otto Lindstrom and Chris Christian
son, two of the union tailors recently
locked out by Heffley Bros, were ar
rested Wednesday on the charge of
having assaulted one Harris Levy,
IN imported non-union tailor. Levy
AYERS that he was assaulted on o
street about six o'clock in the even
ing of Monday. and further declares
that the assault was the elimination
of a series of threats made against
toe "scab" tailors by the union pickets.
The Hefaeys at once seized the oc-
casion presumably presented by
tnemselves-to cast discredit upon the
union. According to the Heffleys the
union tailors were discharged because
they were not doing their work well.
The fact seems to be that Heffley
locked the union men out because
they could get their work done
cheaper in the tenement shops OF
Chicago. The effort was blocked by
the union tailors, acting with their
Chicago brothers. Then Heffley tried
Omaha, with the same result. Then
they began importing the non-union
tailors.
The locked out workmen proceeded
to picket the shop. and sought in every
reaceable way to induce the non-union
men to desist from their unfair com
petition and get into the union. The
story of the assault mas been cooked
