THE HAVELOCK UNIONS.

lock is one of the growing towns of Ne
braska, and the coming year promises to
see all records broken in the line of indus
trial development. 1t is now an as
sured fact that the Burlington will soon
more than double the capacity of it's shops
at this point and several local manufae-
turing establishments are preparing to en-
large All this, with the prospect of add
ing new lines of industry, puts Havelock
upon the industrial map in large letters
In industrial lines the blacksmiths ma
chinsts and boilermakers maintain live or
carnations, each one of these unions hay-
ing enjoyed prosperous year Conditions
have been considerably bettered by reason
of these organizations, and many objection
able ideas have been throttled in good time
Some of the Invest uniOnists in the move

assistance, not only in the line of publicity,
but in the line of working for the upbuiId-

THE GENUINE PUBLIC SPIRIT.

The Wageworker maintains, that all
things considered, the union men of Lincoln
do more TO build up the city than any
other class They are more public spirited,
they make more sacrifices for the common
good, and they contribute more to the gen.
eral uplift. Just little sample:
A movement was started to provide for
a series of free public band concerts in
the city park. The park commission had
no money with which to build a band stand
Ex-Mayor Brown undertook to secure the
necessary building material. and succeeded
Then the union bricklayers donated their
work and built the foundation. The union
carpenters then donated their work and
erected the band stand. The union painters
and decorators painted it in fine style And
lastly. the union electrical workers wired
it and made it all ready for the lights

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS?

There are two ideas of government.
There are those who believe that, if You
will only legislate to make the well-to-do
prosperous, their prosperity will leak
through on those below. If You
legiSlate to make the masses prosperous
their prosperity will find its way up through
every class which rests upon them. w j.

LIBERATI'S BIG BAND.

The managers of the State Fair at Lin
coin. September 9th to 10th. have again
cured the world renowned Liberatis Band
of New York They will give three grand
concerts in the auditorium every day and
one concert each evening in front of the
grand stand Besides the band he has with
him full complement of grand opera sing
ers To those who have attended the State
Fair the past two years that is announce
ment enough.
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1909-09-04

Then the union musicians subscribed $50
in cash towards the concert fund If this
does not show the right kind of public spir-
it The Wageworker has another guess COM
ing. If a lot of wealthy citizens would con-
tribute as much in proportion. Lincoln
would have one of the finest parks in the
country. and free public band concerts in
a half-dozen parks two or three times a
week.

Kelsey gets his military title from the fact

that he led division of the Coxey army,
although he did see several years of real
service during the '-late unpleasantness'
between the north and the south. General
Kelsey has carried a union card for almost
half a century, and during every month
of that time he has been talking and act
ing unionism. He has made good wher-
ever he has been placed.

steadily grown smaller in numbers But
there are still some faithful souls left, and
these are making gallant fight.
The Breklayers and Masons have enjoyed
several succeeding seasons of prosperity.
This organization has not suffered like the
other organizations of the building trades,
having been successful in maintaining the
closed shop and Increasing the wage scale
The Theatrical Stage Employees have but
recently made a record for themselves by
securing contracts with every theater in
Lincoln. BY the terms of these contracts
only members of the organization are to be
employed. and the wage scale has been
increased.
The Musicians Protective Union is one
of the strongest organizations in Lincoln
Three years ago it was deemed impossible
to get enough musicians together to hold
a charter. But few brave spirits kept at
work Today they able to point to an
organization numbering upwards of 1oO
members. and acknowledged to be one of
the largest and liveliest locals of the entire
craft.
The Brotherhood of Painters. Decorators
and Paperhangers has been more than hold
ing its own. and today boasts of large
membership and scale of wages and
hours that is vastly better than existed a
very few years ago.
The Plumbers have had a hard fight
against open shop conditions. and the local
organization is by no means strong as
it was three or four years ago But the
faithful members have kept plugging away,
and the good conditions that many non
union men enjoy today due to the tire
less efforts of union plumbers who have
never let up in their fight.
The BARRIERS have reason to rejoice over
the conditions they have brought about.
In the last few years they have decreased
the hours of work and increased the wage
scale, and today there is a feeling of the
utmost friendship existing between ''boss
barbers'' and the members of the local
union There are number of non-union
BARRIERS in Lincoln who selfishly profit
ing by the sacrifices of the members of the
local union. Without paying a penny or
sacrificing a moment of time, these nOnuniOH
men are enjoying conditions and wages that
were brought into being by the union bar
bers of Lincoln.
The Electrical Workers rightfully boast
of having one of the ''live wires" among
local organizations. The Lincoln local OF
this great brotherhood is the largest in the
district composed of Iowa, Nebraska and
South Dakota. and it has secured cOndl-
tions that are far in advance of the con-
ditons that existed few years ago.
The Gloveworkers' Union is one of the
young organizations of Lincoln, and the
only one of the kind in the state. While
small in numbers it is made up of men and
who are heart and soul in the
union cause. and it has already contributed
much to the upbuilding of unionism iii this

been making good progress during the year.

wages. Its membership is increasing stead
