The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1909-01-23
Old Graft Made New.

A new scheme is being worked on
the public in the eastern part of the
state. Two men come to town and
dress themselves up as farmers, Sc
cure an old scrubby team and a
broken-down wagon. The next day
they ship in lot of packing house
cured meat and after rubbing it over
with wood ashes go about selling it
to the people as extra fine country
cured hams. They make a nice talk
and ask three cents extra per pound
because of the extra labor of coun-
try-curing their meat. They sold
nearly two hundred so-called sugar
cured hams in Nebraska City at an
advance of three cents over the retail
market. The strangest part of the
swindle was that many of the So
called hams turned out to be Shout
ders, which the packing companies
trim up to resemble hams. These two
men have been working in all of the
towns in that part Of the state. and
it is said they worked Omaha and
Lincoln.

A Well Known Minnesota Member

w. E. McEwan, editor of the Du-
luth Labor World, is a member of the
Plumbers Union and has been one
of the most active workers in the
cause in the country. He served as
secretary of the Minnesota State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor for several years,
and would have been serving yet had
he not insisted on having the honor
passed around. Later he was appoint
ed state oil inspector by Governor
Johnson and served in that capacity
with credit. Now he has been ap-
pointed commissioner of labor by Gov
ernor johnson, and no one who knows
him has the remotest doubt about his
making a splendid record for him
self and the cause of organized labor
in that official position.
1t has been determined to promote
the work OF organization in New
England, and with that end in view
E. w. Leonard, international organ
izer has opened headquarters in Bos-
ton.

LAsoR's PATRIOTIC DUTY.

Must Furnish Convicted Leaders
With the Sinews Of War.
The report comes from Washington
that Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell and
Morrison have no money with which
to continue the appeal from the out
rageous prison sentences imposed up
on these splendid labor leaders by
Justice Wright, and that unless funds
are forthcoming the appeal cannot go
on.
Mr.. Gompers, with that thoughtful
ness which has so characterized his
career as a labor leader, says that the
unions should not be levied upon for
funds because Of the condition of de-
preston and idIeness prevailing every
where.
But let there be no concern over
the question of funds in this case. All
Mr.. Gompers and his accused COL
leagues have to do is to say they will
accept voluntary contributions from
Labor and Labor's friends, and finan-
ciai assistance will pour in upon them
from every city and town and hamlet
in the nation.
Nothing could be more disastrous to
the country than an abandonment Of
the appeal from Judge Wright's mon.
strous judgment.
Labor owes it as a patriotic duty to
the nation to press this suit to the end
and re-estabIish for all time to come
the right Of free speech and free
press in these United States.
The Republic has wired Mr.. Com
pers that if funds are needed, this pa
| per will contribute $50 and undertake
to raise more.-BuffaIo Republic.

CHEAP LABOR A BLIGHT.

It Means Cheap Manhood, Cheap Wo-
manhood, Cheap Citizenship.
The worst blight that threatens the
United States is not the blight of the
trusts or of public corruptions or of
private wrong-doing. 1t is the blight
OF cheap labor. Cheap labor means
above everything else cheap man.
hood and cheap womanhood. 1t is
for this that the enemies of the unions
are fighting tooth and nail-fghting
for the cheap and nasty things of
life And all this, we are assured, is
designed for the gain of the beloved
consumer. The trick lies in making
people believe that with cheap labor
everything else will be cheap, not in
quality but in price. Wages are actr;-
ally lower today in America even than
in China, when compared with the
price the consumer pays. 1t is not
necessary for James ]. Hill or any.
