BOOSTING THE TEMPLE.

The interest manifested in the Tenn
pie movement is indeed gratifying to
the men who have been faithfully
promoting that enterprise for the past
two years. At this writing it looks
like the first hurdle has been leaped,
and that the course is now compare
lively clear. OF course there is much
hard work yet to be done ere the
Temple is an assured and perman-
ont fact. But the indications are that
the interest already aroused will suf-
flee 10 bring success.
Those who have given the matter
careful cons 'deration well know that
the Temple project is one calculated
to increase the moral, social and in
dustrial benefits of the workers. 1t
means as much for Lincoln as a
whole as it means for the craftsmen
themselves. 1t means as much to bust
ness interests as it does to industrial
interests; as much to the spiritual
growth as 1t does to the social growth
of Lincoln citizenship.
This Is not a matter in which wage
earners alone are interested. 1t is a
matter that should arouse the inter
est and enlist the support of every
citizen who is anxious to secure a
higher standard of citizenship in this
good city.
Now let us all get together. put
our collective shoulders to the wheel
and push the Temple project over
for a touchdown.

the identical thing that President
Gompers SO roundly denounced. The
charters of two state declarations and
nineteen central bodies have been re
voked because they seated delegates
from the "Reid-Murphy" faction OF
bodies filed appeals, and many OF
| them sent delegates to the Toronto
convention to present their side OF
the case. Did 4Gompers and the cred
entails committee recognize this right
Of appeals? Not at all. These dele.
gates were refused seats in the con
lvention, denied hearing until such
time as the laws committee saw fit
to summon them, and these delegates
were compelled to cool their heels on
the outside. They were denied the
.loor in their own defense. The court
Of the District of Columbia acted not
one bit more arbitrarily or unjustly
than did the credentials committee
of the Toronto convention.
While the appeals of these bodies
were pending, common justice-the
kind Of justice that Gompers, Mitch
|ell and Morrison are demanding-de-
manded that these delegates be at
least given the floor to explain their
case. Their charters should not have
been revoked IN the first place. At
the very time that these charters
were being revoked in order to force
McNulty- collins electrical bodies up
on a majority of the industrial cen
tiers, the McNulty-Collins faction itself
was not entitled to recognition for
the reason that it was suspended by
reason of failure to pay dues to the
American Federation of Labor. Yet
the constitution that worked automat-
ically to revoke the charters of other
affiliated bodies didn't work at all in
the case of those trimmers, Messrs.
McNulty and Collins. If the time has
come in the American Federation OF
Labor when the constitution works
automatically in the interests OF the
executive council and fails to work
when working would be against the
interests of the executive council, 1t
would ne we'll for the rank and file to
be made acquainted with that fact.
And If fact it is. there must be a
speedp remedy. 1t lily becomes labor
leaders to plead the right of appeal
in their own case and deny it to the
rank and file

We did our level best to get the

THE NEBRASKA FEDERATION.

The Nebraska Federation of Labor
will meet in annual convention in
South Omaha on January 4. 1909.
This, will be the first meeting of the
Federation since it's permanent organ
ization, and there is every reason
should be represented. Recent de-
velopments point conclusively to the
fact that If free labor is to receive
the full measure of justice that is
its due, it must force that justice
from reluctant legislature. The la
Dor laws of Nebraska are primitive
and in poor keeping with the indus
trial progress of the state. The Ne
duty is to teach the politicians of
Nebraska that organized labor-the
labor not connected with farms-is
a force that must hereafter be reck-
oned with. While cheerfully admit
ting that the basis Of Nebraska's
wealth is agriculture, lot OF peo-
pie need to be taught the great truth
that the farmers of America can not
prosper unless the wage earning pop
ulation gets square deal.
The more men that are employed,
and the better the wages they re-
ceive, the more demand there is for
the products Of the farm. The farm
err of Nebraska needs to be taught
that his interests are closely en-
twined with the interests of the wage
earners in the mills. the factories
and the shops Of Nebraska.
The official call for the Federation
and will give each local union defin-
lite information as to the basis OF
representation The coming conven-
ton must frame up a plan of legis-
lative action. The old hit-and-miss
way of asking for legislation and
quietly taking the medicine doped out
to us will no longer suffice. II the
wage earners of Nebraska get justice
from the law making body they must
get it by show of voting force.
There must be well defined plan Of
political action, and the money must
be forthcoming to carry it out. There
must be method in our efforts here
after. The time for begging justice
is ended-the time for demanding JUS
tice is AT hand. For these, and for
many other reasons, the forthcoming
convention ought to be largely at
tended. and every unionist in the
state represented by live delegates
from his craft
The time for concerted action along
legislative lines has come.
