erning class in America today-a class
IS cruel and as ruthless as ever de-
spoiled an ancient empire.
We must either accept the colrt's
dictum, and acknowledge we have no
right to withdraw our patronage from

complaint, because it hurts business.
Or we must boldly announce to the
world that when workers are wronoed
we will rush to their aid, regardless
OF dollars and gold.
Only one of these principles can
prevail.

GOOD FOR TOLEDO!
Unionists Have Driven the Buck Prod
uct From the Market.

uct From the Market
There is not a Buck stove sold in
the Toledo market.
For over two years Mr.. VanCleave's
product has been missing from this
city as a result cf the publicity given
the non-union tactics of the ST. Louis
,nan.
Toledo can boast of a first-class
union made stove, manufactured by
tine Toledo Stove & Range company
It's manager, B. G. Taylor, is an ex-
union molder, and takes pride in his
union shop, and the absence of trouble.
During. the Pope strike, MI Taylor
was the only business man in this
city who came out boldly for the
workers and against the policy of the
Metal Trades and the Citizens Alli-
aDce, and this at time when public
sentiment was almost unanimous
against the unionists because of the
labor crushers' systematic campaign
of Misrepresentation.
Workers are buying the Toledo
stove, and have succeeded in driving
the "scab" Bucks out of this market.

OUR LOVING FRIENDS.
Ross Hammond, "Scab" Employer,
Pays Respects to Maupin.

Ross l.. Hammond, who once
thought he would like to be United
States senator, and wound UP by
crawling on his hands and knees all
;he way from Fremont to Washing
ton to get an appointive job, does not
like The Wageworker OR it's editor.
This is because The Wageworker
unctured some of the Hammond pre-
lenses during the fight the Typography
ical Union made against the notori-
ously labor-hating Fremont Tribune,
of which Ross l.. Hammond is editor.
Concerning the appointment of The
Wageworker's editor to the position
of deputy commissioner of labor Ham,
mond has the following to say through
the columns of the Fremont Tribune: j:
"Wiii m. Maupin has been appointed
labor commissioner-Iabor commits
sioner, mind you. It's superb ap-
pointment and he needs the money.
Il doesn't mean he'll have to work.
not on your life; only that he'll

great things as head of the labor
bureau. A broad conception Of the in.
dustriaI magnitude and possibilities

with great undertakings in this state !;
a transcendant genius for minute and
painstaking detail-if he possessed
any one of these in the slightest de-
gree it would seriously disfigure him
Wait for the Maupin bulls and bulie
tins. They will be what the people
have sought and mourned because
, they found 'em not"
Some of these days, perhaps, The
Wageworkers editor may have a
brother who will develop financial
genius and enable the editor to accu
mulate enough money to pose and
strut. Ii that time ever comes then
The Wageworker's editor may hope
to get into the Ross Hammond class
| If he is ever SO foolish. In the
meanwhile, with those who know Ross
every knock for him is a boost fol
the knockee. Hence we take great
pleasure in printing his comment.

at the trade for a number of years.
He has been a court reporter for sew
eral years, ana prior to that was the
poprietor of newspaper at Alma.
Secretary of the Senate Smith is an
other printer, although he has never
carried card. He learned the trade
IN country shop and for years has
peen running country newspaper. the

Assistant Secretary of the Senate
Davis is another country newspaper

and Second Assistant Secretary Wax

mas served his time at the case. 7.
&. p. iIIildebrand, clerk of the senate
committee of the whole, is an ex-
newspaper man, and in the old days
could print with the best of them.
Over in the house Speaker Charley
Pool is country newspaper man who
knows the printers trade from the
ground up, having worked at it for a
quarter of century. The secretary

who are printers, among them SEN
alto John M. Tanner of South Omaha,
who is an ex-member of the union.
The newly appointed deputy commits
sioner of labor is a printer by trade,
and has carried card more than two
decades.
The printermen and newspapermen
have little reason to complain of the
recognition accorded them of late.

Benjamin c. Adams has been made

is graduate Of the Nebraska State
University and an electrical engineer

been in the employ of the company for
the past two years, and is in every
way qualified for his new position.
The best that The Wageworker can
wish Mr.. Adams is that he will be as
successful as the man whom he sue

Why, that's an easy one! A "ranaka-

"mulligan" than "mulligan" is like
