THE LABOR TEMPLE PROJECT.
The Goal of Success Is in Sight and
Everybody Feeling Good.


When the directors of the Labor
Temple Association met at the Temple
Monday evening every one wore
smile. Things are coming along in
bully shape. The plasterers are out
of the way, and the painters are just
waiting for things to get in shape for
them to go ahead The wiring and
the plumbing work is completed, and
the carpenters are pretty well along.
Two weeks more will see the Temple
ready for occupancy.
But it was the financial situation
that called for the most attention, and
as soon as the directors came to order
the subject of finance was taken up.
The first thing done was to allow bills
for labor. Every such bill has been
paid up to the date of meeting, and
there is enough cash on hand to pay
all material bills as soon as the need
for buying more is at an end. In ad-
ditiOn to this the treasurer has a
thousand dollars ready to apply on the
purchase price, and more coming in
every day. Things looked SO favorable
that it was decided to make an effort
to clean up both the December and
February payments on December 1.
This would save some interest, and in
addition would give the association a
deed and obviate the necessity of hav-
ing hall leases censored by an out
slider. To carry out this plan three
committees were appointed to visit
Lincoln business men and solicit sub
scriptions to the capital stock. The
committees started out bright and
early Tuesday morning, and by noon
had $1,000 pledged, payable before
December 1. Wednesday another good
ly sum was added, and by the time
The Wageworker goes to press the
entire $4,000 needed will be in hand.
This will practically insure success If
the unionists will then come along
with their share in future, and there
is every indication that they are de-
termined to do this
Just as soon as the campaign for
stock subscriptions is completed due
recognition of the subscriptions will
be made. Suffice it to say at this time
that With one single exception every
business man approached gladly made
a generous subscription, and nearly
every one offered to increase it If nec-
essary. 1t took but few minutes to
reveal the fact that the business men
of Lincoln have been watching the
Temple project closely, and that they
are in hearty sympathy with it.
The list of unionists subscribing for

Lincoln merchants are showing a
decided friendliness to the Labor Tenn
pie project, their friendship taking the
form of generous subscriptions to the
stock. If the union men will come
across a little bit faster for a couple
of weeks, success will be assured.

Carter-top stockings

deserve every bit of the popularity which they have won. Knitted with special elasticity at the top, they give an extra comfort. When this style of knitting is com bined with the use of a fine lisle yarn, there is still great CT comfort.
 Ready now, are some gar ter-top stockings of fine black lisle which the store has tested very severely. They have come through all tests with good record. They wear very well. They are rarely comfortable; fit smoothly. So deep and rich is their blackness that they almost seem to have been mercerised. 371ac and soc.

He said that the Mayor was detained | by an indispositiOn, which confined him to his home. f,
 Congressman DeArmond spoke al some length upon the tariff. He thought there was something in the nature of a sectional issue between the East and the West upon the tariff The West, producing an abundance Of raw material, wants protection for it's raw material, while the East, being a manufacturer of raw material, wants it duty free, but desires a tax upon the finished product.
 Congressman DeArmond said he be lieved Hancock had the philosophy of the tariff very nearly as it is, when he said that ''the tariff is a local issue" " That was the fact, and is the fact, al- though Hancock was much denounced for saying so at the time when he said it.
 MT. DeArmond did not believe that this would be 8 free trade country within the memory of living men, but he did look forward to a time when the same articles of manufacture would not be sold to the people of this country at one price and to the people of a foreign country at another and lower price.
 Congressman Victor Murdock, who represents the Eighth district of Kan sas. complimented Bridgeport, pro1nis- ed to buy Locomobile, praised Con- gressrnan Hill, expressed sorrow that Hill was not chosen Senator, and Eaunc ched into an eulogy of the West.
 ''The West,' he said, twill not stand for one man power. It does not like aristocracy It desires to know what it's public utilities are doing and how they are doing it; it believes that American prosperity must stand for decency and observance of the law
 Henry w. Carpenter, of Providence national president of the Fonders Association, said that Rhode Island is to have a State association of n1arlu- facturers. He declared it to be the duty of manufacturers to maintain open shops, and to take the superv1s- ion of apprentices from the control of labor unions.

It is several years since I first used them, but I must say that my opinion of them is just as high as ever I had backache, at times so severe that I was hardly able to stoop or lift When I stood on my feet or walked any distance, I experienced pains in my Ioins.

Delayed Appearance in American Plays Until a Real One Was Written.

Olga Nethersole who is to appear at Smiths Theatre this evening in her new American play, "The Writing on the Wal1,'' arrived in Bridgeport this morning, accompanied by her support ing company of 25.
 In an interview Miss Nethersole said
 "I have been often criticized for the so-called class of plays which I have produced in my position as a theatri- cal manageress. My answer has been, and is, that have produced acknowl- edged masterpieces of the drama of the world and should not be condemned for that. Secondly, art. being with out an ego, has no morals; and, third ly, as I see it, the true and absolute meaning of the word art, is holding the mirror up to nature," and in hav- ing produced these plays and having portrayed the leading characters in then,. I have found myself in good company. A
 So much for the past; now I am about to break new ground. am go- ing, for @ time at least, to devote my art to the American drama. It will, perhaps, be asked why I have not done so before. My answer is, that in my Judgment the real American drama has only lately been born.
 '"The Writing on the Wall,' not only marks my first appearance in a dis LlHCtly Amer1Cdn play Oy dn AIneT1CaIl playwright, but I have also selected supporting company of all-Americans headed by William Morris and Robert T. Haines; and also includes Frank Craven, T. c. Matthews, Albert Hack cit, John Bickford, Slaine Mills, Rev. erly Sitgreaves, Adelaide Nowak, Flor ence ,Spreen and others.
 The production is produced under my own personal Direction, and I have given every attention, both to detail and effect.
