there has been some demand for men
all the time. The open weather has
permitted a days work now and then
just enough to keep the muscles
from growing stiff.
The outlook for next season is very
bright, several big jobs beng on the
boards. Among them is the Castle
Roper Matthews job on n street be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth. This
building will join the Fraternity build
ng on the east Several brick flats are
contemplated and some alteration
work on o streea property is being
talked about.
Bricklayers are warned to remain
away from Los Angeles, San Francisco
and Seattle All three places are adj
vertising for men, the hope of the ad-
vertisers being to flood the labor mar
ket and cause disruption of the
unions.

and his name is Grant. Mr.. Grant
has charge of the Cornell Engraving
Co. plant He has been in Lincoln
sixteen months, and during that time
lie has not missed a meeting of his
union. He travels from Lincoln to
Omaha and return every month, >
distance of 10 miles, and his salary
as secretary wouldn't pay his fare to
Waverly and return. He returns
home ON the night train, and is. forced
to walk long distance to reach his
rooms But he is so enthusiastic Oh
the union question that he thinks it
a pleasure to undergo all the trouble
and expense
If every union man in Lincoln was
as enthusiastic in the good work as
Secretary Grant there would be some
fine doings" in union circles in this
town His example is commended to
every reader of The Wageworker.

SO many big jobs are on the boards.
Work at the present is rather slack.

VanCleave is the president of this
company and the editor of the official
organ. He is also head man of the
Buck Stove and Range Co., which has
just succeeded in enjoining the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor from includ-
ing the Buck Stoves and ranges in the
unfair and I'VE don't patronzie" lists.
At the head of it's editorial columns,
and signed by Mr.. VanCleave, Amer
can Industries" carries the following
highfiown declaration:
"The object. of the formation of the
National Association of Manufacturers
is the cooperation of all manufac-
turers for the promotion of industries,
and the commerce of the United
States, the bettermen of the relations
between employers and workers, the
establishment and maintenance of in
dustrial peace, and the encouragement
of the business and the financial inter-
ests of it's members at home and
abroad"
By the promotion of industries"
VanCleave mean tariff bulwark that
will let the manufacturers rob the peo-
pie at home while underselling the
''pauper labor of Europe" in the Euro
pean's own market. By "betterment of
relations between employers and work
ers," he means system where the
worker is at the mercy of the employ
er. By ''the establishment and main
tenance of industrial peace" he means
the peace of the sweat shop and the
hoyel wherein live and work submis-
ssve slaves who dare not assert right
lest the crust and the scrap be torn
from their starving lips.
1t is high time that workingmen
arouse themselves to realization of
the insidious enroachments upon their
rights made by this aggregation of
greedy and conscienceless capitalists
to whom human blood and sinew are
but as the raw material that enter into
their manufactured articles; to whom
human suffering is nothing when meas
ured by dollars and cents, and to whom
the courts are but the means of fur
ther riveting the shackles upon the
limbs of toll. The workingman who
| fails to keep himself informed is a
criminal-false to himself, false to his
| family, false to his fellows and false to
his country. The workingman who Is
selfishly satisfied with living wage,
caring nothing for the good of his fel-
lows, is unfit for the company of
thoughtful and patriotic men.
The association of which James W.
VanCleave is president never sleeps.
1t is enroaching on the rights of the
toilers; it has millions at it's disposal
with which to influence legislation and
secure judicial DEGREES.
1t is up to organized labor to snatch
the lawmaking power from the hands
of the tools of capitalists and lift the
courts above the Establishments of po-
litical prefermenl and financial favorit-
ism.

Voluntary subscriptions to the capi'
tai stock of the association continue
to come in, but not in a volume that
speaks well for the enthusiasm of Lin
coin unionists on the project. There
are half-dozen labor organizations
that are as yet unrepresented. Not a
single subscription has been received
from railway organization, and SO
far as outward appearances go the pro

ROBERT STRAIN DEAD.
Well Known Union Barber Answers to
the Final Summons.

Robert Strain, an old and respected
member of the local BARRIERS Union
died Tuesday morning at his home in
University Place after an illness of
several weeks. Funeral services were
held at the family home Wednesday
morning the Macabees being in
charge. Some thirty members of the
BARRIERS Union testified to their love
for their former brother by attending
the funeral and leaving floral tribute
taken to Nebraska City Thursday and
inferred in the cemetery at that place.
Mr.. Strain leaves a wife and one son,
Albert, who is a member of Typo
graphical Union and employed at the
Woodruff Collins shop.
| Robert Strain was we'll known fig
| ure in union circles in Lincoln. He
held several important offices in his
local and represented it with great
credit in the Central Labor Union
Quiet and unassuming, he was man
of earnest convictions and always
ready to defend his unionism and was
earnest in argument. He had the re
spect of all who knew him, and his ac
quaintance was unusually large. The
local union feels his loss deeply, fol
he was a faithful member. To the be
reaved wife and son the heartfelt
sympathy of every unionist in the
city Is extended.

SOONER THE BETTER.

Nearly every law enacted by con-

clared unconstitutional. The last one
is the employers liability act. It's the
same was in Michigan. AS long as
the laboring class are satisfied to nave
professional men represent them just
SO long will they be misrepresented.
