men of labor to hold up their heads
and demand recognition of their manly
rights. Born under a foreign flag. he
is as intensely American as any
proud descendant of a revolutionary
sire. His heart is big enough to
take in all creation, and his brain is
big enough TO enable him to meet and
vanquish the enemies of unionism

Here's hoping that Uncle Sam
Gompers will have the time OF his
life on his European TRIP He will
be met by no parade of troops, nor
will he be haralded by uniformed
fiunkies at the courts of kings and
emperors. But he will be hailed with
acclaim by the Grand Army oil
Toll, and he will be welcomed in,G
the homes of the men and women
whose toll and skill has made this
the greatest generation in all the his

better fitted than now to lead the
hosts of labor to greater victories il

GOOD LUCK. UNCLE SAM.

When this issue of The Wageworker
reaches its readers. Samuel Gompers.
president of the American Federation
of Labor. will be on the briny deep.
en- route for Europe. President
GomperS goes as the fraIernal
delegate from the American Trades
Unions to the British Federation of
Labor convention.
Much as We would like to take
that trip. we'd rather see Uncle Sam
Gompers taking it than any other
man on earth. He will reflect credit
upon American trades unioniSm as he
stands as its representative before
the Trades Union congresses of the
world. He will bring back for our
benefit the added wisdom he gains by
reason of his trip.
When the history of this generation
shall have been written by some flu
ture historian. the name of Samue
GOmpers will be written in larg'
letters. His life has been spent il
the uplifr of humanity He found th'
workers of America an unorganixe'
facrional mass: he welded it into
harmonious whole. He found tn
toilers a prey TO every selfish in

THE OBJECTS OF FEDERATION.

More or less has been said concern
ing the State Federation of Labor
that will be organized in Lincoln
next Monday and Tuesday Ii has
been charged in certain quarters that
politics" was behind it 1t has also
been charged that it was a plan to
turn the trades unions over to a
political party. 1t might be we'll at
this particular time TO state just what
the objects are.
The first thing sought for is to
bring the wage-earners of the state
into closer relations with a view of
lettering working conditions Sec
ondly. it is necessary to secure the
enactment of laws in the interest of
the workers-not laws for their spe-
cial interests. but laws demanded by
justice.
Every legislative session sees every
special interest well represented with
the sole exception of the men and
women who work in mill, shop and
factory The packing house interests
are well served: the railroad corpora
tons are well served: the insurance
combine is well served: the physi-
clans are taken care of. and the
farmers always get the recognition
they demand. But the wage-earners.
unrepresented on the floor of the
house and senate. and without repre-
sentatives to look out for their in
terests. never get the recognition that
is due them. 1t will be the purpose
of the State Federation of Labor to
work for a better recognition of the
e0o. 600 men and women of Nebraska
who are earning 1ivelihoods at gainful
occupations apart from the soil and
the professions 1t will have a com
mittee TO look after legislation in the
| interests of the wage-earnerS, and TO
oppose laws adverse to their inter.
ests. Ii will strive TO secure better
recognition of those departments OF
state charged with the duties of look
ing after the enforcement of sanitary
laws. the employment of labor and
the protection of life and limb. II
will seek to promote closer relations
between men of all trades and crafts
Ii will seek to be force in politics
not from a partisan standpoint, but
from the standpoint of the welfare OF
those who toll for wages.
These are some of the purposes Of
the proposed organization The meT
who are interested in promoting this
organization nave nothing to conceal
The sessions of the Federation vii
be as open as any church revival
The proceedings will be printed ant
distributed free TO all who may b.
interested enough to ask for them
The first man who seeks to use tn
organization for partisan purpose
will be thrown over the transom- l
will be an organization of earnes
men and women seeking to advanc
the general welfare of the toilers.
will deserve the support of ever
citizen who wants to see better cor
: ditions prevail.

HYGIENIc DIET

People who prefer vegetable diet
to one of meat and who look for max
imum nourishment with variety find
a most unusual food in Faust BRAND
Spaghetti.
So admirably does it lend itself to
the making of endless tempting and
nourisaing dishes whether for din
ner or supper--that it has taken the
place of meat even in many non-vege-
tartan homes.
Faust Spaghetti is food to work
on. Makes blood, bone, muscle and
energy-and, unlike meat, does it
without taxing the digestion or over
heating the blood.
Then consider the economy OF 1t! At
only five and ten cents package 1t
has no equal as nourishing, sustain
ing food within reach of all.
And as to it's adaptability-the book
of recipes sent free on request merely
suggests the endless number of ways
of serving it -as a simple side dish
a sweet pudding or as the best CT all,
in such appetizing and tasty forms that
If is always welcome.

At 1920 o'clock last evening fifty
citizens of Alexandria, with their
covered by masks, who have liv-
ed there for number of years and
have struggled to keep that peaceful
little town free from the influx of
degenerate people, banded together
after silent meeting and marched
to the home OF fallen woman and
her companions and carried out a plan
that has been unequalled in this
vicinity for long time. 1t was no
less than to tar and feather woman
and two men and beat with clubs and
with sticks another person who hap.
pened to be in the house at the time.
The party was headed towards Keo-

The victims of this tar and feather
