a MISLEADING STATEMENT.
Castle Roper>Matth Building Not a
Union Structure.

During the primary campaign
Jack" Matthews. the republican nom,
inee for coroner. advertised his can
Gidacy in The Wageworksr. and
among other things upon which he
based his claim for the support of
union men was the statement that
as a member of the firm of Castle,
Roper & Matthews he had caused to
be inserted in the building contract
of that firm a clause specifying that
all work should be done by union men.
Evidence is at hand tending to
prove that il such clause was in
serted in the contract it was ignored
by the contractor. and the matter
given no attention by either Mr. Nat
thews or any other member OF the
firm. The contractor has not had a
union carpenter in his employ for sew
eral years The painting was done
bp firm that is opposed to the
Painters Union The brick work was
simple reason that there are no non
union bricklayers in Lincoln But it
is asserted. and with seemingly good
reason, that a majority of the men
employed in the erection and finish
ing OF the Castle, Roper & Matthews
building on NJ street. between Thir-
tsenth and Fourteenth. were nom
union men, and that Mr. Matthews,
if he did insist upon a union clause
was almighty careless in not seeing
TO it that the contract was carried
out. Be that as it may, the nom
union workmen had the preference
The Wageworker regrets that it
was the medium through which any
misstatement of facts was given to
the union voters of Lancaster county.
1t had every reason to believe that
Mr. Matthews stated the facts He
either wrote the advertisement him
self or gave it his %. K" before ii
was inserted, and if any deceit was
| practiced The Wageworker insists
that it was not the party guilty
| thereof.

This Company

To place its stock in the hands of implement
dealers and agricultural people, and to restrict
the sale to not more than FIVE shares to any
one person. We have adopted this policy be-
lieving that the advertising benefits will more
than repay the company for the extra work
involved in placing the stock.
There are now nearly four hundred stock
holders in this company, representing nearly
every section of the entire Northwest. This
will be the last sale of stock offered by the
company, as sufficient funds for all equipment
and operating expenses will be realized from
this sale This will be the last chance to get
stock at one hundred dollars per share.
