FREMONT UNIoNISTS.
Bunch of Lively Ones Making Things
Move on Union Lines.

The unionists of Fremont seem
worthy of mention among the Live
Ones" all right. They are getting
ready 10 launch labor paper. backed
by solid union support. They have a
live central body with eight unions
represented. all of whom have elected
delegates to the State Federation of
Labor meeting. They announce. too.
that they are going after the 1910
meeting of the Federation.
Already the Fremont unionists have
begun preparations for the proper OBJ
servance of Labor Day. They will
have a big parade, union labor ex-
hibit and trades display that prom
to see. New life has been injected
into every union in the city, and from
now on there promises to be '-doings"
in the capital of Dodge county.
Col. A. H vanWie of the Fremont
Typographical Union was in Lincoln
last Tuesday. looking after some bust
ness pertaining TO the work in that
, city. He is enthusiastic over the out
look. He says the new labor paper
will be managed by a committee elect
ed for the purpose. and that it already
has subscriptions and advertising
contracts enough to insure the pay
ment of the expenses of publication.
A couple of new unions will be char
tered before We celebrate the victory
our great grandfathers won over the
British. and the old unions will be
strengthened in the meantime

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Lively Session That Got Through in
Record Breaking Time.

RECORD breaking lime.
Tuesday evening and managed to get
through the regular order of bust
ness earlier than usual. And at that
it enjoyed some good talks and got
away with lot of business Ali trades
reported good with the exception of
the bartenders and gloveworkers.
Rev s. z. Batten and Rev. W. H.
Zenor. delegates from the ministerial
association. were present and both
favored the assembly with short and
forceful talks S. d. Smith, of Have
lock- appeared with credentials from
the Blacksmiths' Union The Machin-
lists also appeared in the person of
two newly .ected delegates.
The matter of labor headQuar-
tersr was discussed. but no action
taken, the central body deeming it
advisable to await the action of a
committee now working with that
end in view. However. a committee
of five was appointed to act Jointly
with committees from other organi-
cations in an effort to improve social
conditions. The committee consists
of Nessrs. Kelsey, Chase, Woelhoff,
Weckesser and Maupin
falling on the second night of the
State Federation of Labor convention
| it was decided to take a recess until
Saturday evening. June 10. at which
time the central body will meet at the
office of the labor commissioner at
the state house.
Attention was called to the oppor
tunity to organize the laundry work
ers through the medium of the new
laundry company about to start up in
business. The organization of the
street railway men was discussed, but
no action was taken. The discussion
at time waxed little warm on this
proposition.
The Ministerial Union now has three
delegates to the central body. Rev Mr.
Batten. of the First Baptist church;
Rev. Mr.. Roach. of ST Paulfs NJ E.
church; Rev. Mr.. Zenor, of the East
Side Christian church.
a committee was appointed to start
something looking toward a proper
observance Of Labor Day. The secre-
tary was Instructed to ask all affiliated
unions to select members of gener-
al labor Day committees IN take mn
the matter and push it along.

THE ELECTRICAL WORKERS.
Omaha Inside Men on the Outside, De-
handing Increased Wages.

We insist upon running our own
business to suit ourselves"
OF course you've hesrd that before
1t is always the statement OF employ
ers who are opposed TO union labor.
But as general proposition these EN-
ployers lie in their throats when they
make the assertion. Up in Omaha
there are lot of employers like that
They claim they want to run their
business to suit themselves. and then
let the Business Mems Association
the union busting clan-do it for
them, That's the way things are
going in the matter of the demand

trical Workers Union for an Increased

mand for an increase to our assocfa-

Who is Montgomery. Oh. he's a
lawyer, He doesn't employ anybody,
He Just acts as secretary of the union
busters for salary. See Montgom-
ery-he's handling the business of the
employers who insist that they are
going to handle their business them

according to the workers.
R. E. Parren of the electrical work

most of the journeymen are now get

though that is the old scale. He says
the workers only want it made uni
form and the 80 cents per hour paid
to the journeymen who can keep up
their end of the job. ...--
At most, the new scale would make
only 81 per day for the journeymen,
as they work but eight hours. Some
of them are now getting 81. and others
are working along from 1925 to 1915.
No advance is asked for the helpers.
Outside wiremen are not affected.
those who do wiring inside and put in
fixtures. The Electric Light and Pow
er company and the street railway
company and outside work of the tel
ephone companies is not affected.
Mr.. Parren claims many non-union
men joined the strikers Monday and
agreed that the scale should be set
at 80 cents per hour.
The Electrical club. composed of
contractors and fixture houses, has
turned the question over to the Bust
ness Mems association and all in
quiries are referred to c. C. Mont
gomery. the secretary of the associa-
ton.
Several contractors are said to have
agreed to pay the so cents an hour
scale.
