The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1908-02-21

mentation plain yet elegant in it's ap-
pearance-that is the proposed Labor
Temple for Lincoln. The perspective
view of the proposed building has
been completed, and next Monday ev-
ening 1t will be on exhibition at the
meeting of the Board of Directors OF
the Lincoln Labor Temple Building
Association at 1877 North Twelfth
street. All stockholders and others
interested are invited to call and see
1t.
The completion Of this perspective
view means that the directors are now
ready to begin the active campaign.
Cuts of the building will be prepared
and a prospectus will be printed and
distributed throughout the city. Then
the committee will get TO work can
vassing for stock subscriptions. To
date nothing in this line has been un-
dertaken because the directors want
ed something to show to those whom
they approached for subscriptions.
No one will be asked to donate cent.
Every dollar subscribed will be rep
resented by a dollars worth of tangi-
BILE property, and the subscriber will
have a voice in the management of
the property.
That the business men of Lincoln
are watching this project is evidenced
by the fact that members of the
board OF directors are asked every
day what Is being done. and are as
sured that the questioner will sub
scribe when the matter is under full
headway.
lincoln citizens have been APP
preached scores of times during the
last few years and asked 10 donate
to this or that public enterprise. They
have always been liberal. But in
this Labor Temple matter they will
not be asked to donate penny. They
will be offered a chance to make an
investment that will pay dividends
in dollars as well as in moral and
physical benefits. 1t is a business
proposition having the added advan-
tages of healthy sentiment and civic
improvement.
The directors are desirous of Sc
curing enough subscriptions by the
first of April to purchase a site. That
will be the main thing to accomplish
this spring Several sites have been
offered. all of them advantageous, but
the selection will be deferred until
the money is In hand to pay for the
one selected, and then the subscrib-
ers will be asked to select the site
they want Every stakeholder, no
matter how small his holding, will be
that arises.
To many 1t may appear that the
matter is dragging along. Such is
not the case. The association has a
comfortable balance in bank. 1t does
not owe a penny. The board of di-
rectors is meeting every week. and
at each meeting plans are perfected
for the great work in hand. Lincoln
IL going to have one of the finest La
Dor Temples in the country, and the
corner stone Is going to be laid next
Labor Day.
Paste that In your union made hat!
There Is only one thing to prevent
the fulfillment of that prediction, and
that is the indifference of the men
most interested-the union men OF
Lincoln and vicinity.
Here's a pointer: The Labor TEN
pie at Toronto, Canada, is paying big
dividends. The stock today Is worth
a premium OF 60 per cent-and none
for sale at even that figure. What
has been done in Toronto can be done
in Lincoln. Every union man should
have from FIVE to fifty shares Of stock
In the Labor Temple 1t will be equa
to a savings bank account from tht
monetary standpoint. but from the un
ion standpoint It will be even better
And II you simply will not boost
for heavens sake be man enough no
to knock!
Now get ready to do your part wheI
the real work OF the association be
gins. II you have not already sub
scribed. be prepared to do SO whel
the canvasser comes around. Then
after you have subscribed. go afte
your neighbor and get him to sub
scribe.
1t will take the united effort of ev
