The Success of the Affair Is AS

Lodges of the City.

After a few short weeks of prep
aration during which much enthus-
iasm was aroused, the Marion Mason
ic club was last night organized with a
charter list of about 200 members,
at meeting held at the temple and
attended by a. large number Of Ma
sons.
The club idea was but recently taxi
en- up by the Masons. A charter list
was started and the mempers of the
various Masonic bodies were easily
enthused. l.. ID. Hamilton was chos-
en- temporary chairman of the meet
ing and John Il. Waddell was made
secretary. DR. Hamilton was one
of the leading workers in making the
club possibility.
John E. Waddell, 3. p. Sweeney

rectors of the club. The directors
will meet later to choose their Of
flcers.
1t was decided that the club will
holds it's annual meeting the Sec
ond Monday in January, and the
board of directors will hold a meet
ing each month. A committee of
three members will be appointed by
the directors to decide on all appli-
cations for membership and q second
committee to be appointed will have
charge of the social events. Only
members of the various Masonic
bodies here are eligible to member
ship.
It was decided to furnish three
rooms at the temple for the club
A card room, billiard room and read
ing room will be nt;eG up at once
and within few weeks the club will
be formally opened. This work is
in charge of the club directors-
Club quarters will be opened each
dav from nine in the morning until
1880 p. m. No games of any kind
will be permitted on Sundays and
members are not permitted to play
for stakes of aly kind ut any time.
A cigar case will be Installed for
the convenience of members.
1t is the purpose of the club to
promote friendlier feeling and good
fellowship among members of the fra
ternity. 1t Is certain that the club
will be successful from its inception

The PARK COMMISSIONERS.

materialize, but that fact does not
prevent the committee and the rank

vicinity from feeling grateful to the
park commissioners for their evil

when the matter of park concerts was
under discussion, the park commits
sioners held special meeting on Fri
day of last week and decided to have
one of the public concerts at Capital
Beach on Labor Day as recognition
of the support given by the unionists.
Ex-Mayor Brown interested himself
in the matter and had the other com
missioners meet him. The decision
was unanimous and hearty. The park
commission as now constituted is able
to transact business rapidly and well,
and when the people of Lincoln get
ready to spend money for parks as
they should, the commission is made
up of the right men to make a park
system what it should be.

MSS McpowsLL's VISIT.

The trades unionists of Lincoln
have every reason to believe that
the three public addresses given by
Miss Mcdowell in Lincoln will be
productive of great good to the indus
trial cause, BY occupying the pulpits
of the First Baptist and St Paul's
churches she reached = large number
OF people who could not be reached in
any ether way. and she delivered
message to them that must have
reached their hearts The Wagework-
er>has often charged that the church
was not reaching the working masses
as il might, and should, but We have
also explained that this was not so
much the fanlt of the church as it was
the fault OF the men and women who
are the recognized leaders in the labor
movement We believe that If the
facts are laid before the great
churches of this country that the
members thereof Will come forward to
help in the great uplift planned by the
leaders of organized labor. Especial
ly is this true OF a commonwealth
like Nebraska, where We have neither
the extreme rich nor the extreme poor.
Nebraska is not fronted with the great
dustrial centers like Chicago and Pitts
burg. therefore a majority of her peo
pie are ignorant OF conditions. But
let them once be made acquainted
with those conditions and they viii
help to provide the remedy.
We believe that Miss Mcdowell
reached a large number of peopl,
heretofore unreached by the trade:
unionists and that the message she
delivered will bear abundant fruit il
the days to come.
The Wageworker believes it voice
the unanimous sentiments OF the La
Dor Day committee when it extend
to Rev. DR.. Batten OF the First Bar
list church, and Rev. DIR. Roach o
ST. Paul's NJ. E. church when it eN
tends hearty thanks to them for thei
interest and for their kindness in Civ
ing over their pulpits TO this splendi,
advocate of justice for the helples
toilers of the country Miss Mcdowell
is engaged in a practical Christian
work and we rejoice TO know that thi
fact is recognized by such eloquen
and earnest men as DR.. Batten an
DR.. Roach.

FIGURES OF UNEMPLOYMENT.
A SideIight on Our Present Period Of
Boosted Prosperity.

According to the last report of the
New York State Commissioner of
Labor the percentage of unemploy-
ment among the organized workers
at the end of March, 1909, was 21.1,
as compared with 35.7 on the same
date in 1908.
We wonder how many of those who
read this statement in the paper real
lied its awful significance. In March
this year more than one-fifth of the
organized workers were out of work,
and in March last year more than
one-third of the organized workers
were out of work. One out of every
five men, one out of every three men
out of work, looking for work, not
knowing how long he will be out of
work, not knowing what the end of
it all will be, whether in fact this is
not the end so far as he individually
in concerned,
And if this was the state of unem-
ployment among the organized work
ers, how much more widespread must
| it have been among the unorganized
ones!
Unemployment is not an excep-
tional phenomenon. 1t is a perman-
ent condition. A chronic disease
under which the working class per-
manently suffers A disease unknown
in former ages. A peculiar and spe-
cific product of the capitalist system.
For according to the same report
the percentage of unemployment
among the organized workers in New
York state was Isl in 1905, SO in
1906, 1911 in 1907, etc. Even in the
prosperous years one out of every
seven, one out of every ten, and one
out of every five workers was out OF
employment.
| And. again, if this was the case
with the organized workers. how
much worse must it have been witt
the unorganized ones!-New Yorl

ITS CHARTER TAKEN UP.
Iowa State Federation Disciplined in

The Electrical Workers fight is
growing acute, and the American
Federation of Labor is proceeding
rapidly in its work of disciplining the
central bodies and state declarations
that have failed or refused to unseat
the delegates from the Electrical
Workers locals that pay allegiance
to the Reid faction" Last week
the charter of the Iowa State Fedora
ton of Labor was taken up by Secre-
tary Morrison because that organiza-
ton refused to unseat the so-called
seeding delegates. Several centra.
bodies in Iowa and Nebraska have
been ordered to throw out the REID
delegates" on pain of having their
charters revoked, Lincoln among the
number.
Eighty per cent of the Electrical
Workers are opposed to the faction
recognized by the American Fedora
| ton of Labor, and half of the re
| naming 20 per cent are sympathi
zers. A lot of the organizers of the
A. F. of L. seem to be spending mos
of their time fighting the Reid faction
instead of organizing new locals
The McNulty faction, backed by the
A. F. of L., is in bad way. Its
membership is scattered, it is pay
ing no death benefits, and it is seem
ingly content with getting what money
it can and letting the a. F. of L
