GUESS AGAIN, BROTHER.
Iowa Contemporary Misses the Marx
in Referring to Lincoln.

Lincoln printers last week signed
IN agreement for an increase in
wages. With this agreement they
have again united friendship of en-
ployer and employe, something that
has been lacking in Lincoln for 10
these many years.-Council Bluffs
Ua.) Times.
Our esteemed and youthful contem-
porary has another guess coming.
Somebody has given it bum steer"
1t has been a decade and more since
anything but the friendliest feeling
existed between the employing
printers and the jurneymen printers
in Lincoln. The mere fact that en-
ployers and employees can not imme-
diately agree upon a scale is no sign
Of a lack of friendship. But what
about the conditions in Lincoln for
10 these many years."
Lincoln Typographical Union No.
2G9 was one OF the first of the west
ern unions to secure the eight-hour
effect on January 1, 1906, and on
February II, 1866, the Lincoln union
vas working under it. 1t would have
worked under it sooner had it not
been for the fact that it's nine-hour
contract, made three years before, did
not expire until February II. 1906.
The agreement that went into ef-
feet on February II, 1906, was not
reached in one session. It took
weeks, but at every session only the
utmost friendship between employer
and employe was manifested. For
upward Of ten years the union
printers Of Lincoln and the employers
of union printers have been enjoying
! harmonious relations. Ninety-five per
cent of the printers working in Lin
coin are union men-yes, more than
that. The union is using every ef-
| fort to promote the welfare of the
| fair employers, and the fair en-
ployers are ready any time to ac-
knowledge the fact. We are at loss
to understand how our Council Bluffs
| contemporary managed to get its
facts on so crooked. Come down to
Lincoln and see a good town where
printing conditions are away above
the average. The Wageworker rather

THE CARPENTERS.
Another Open Meeting Next Monday,
With Senator King on Deck.

Carpenters Local No. 1855 is get
ting into the game with both feet.
Next Monday evening it will have
another open meeting, to which all
union and non-union carpenters are
invited. The speaker of the evening
will be Senator King of Polk county.
The Wageworker takes pleasure in
fcommending Senator King to the
esstpenters. lie will make them an
address that will be full of interest
and full of valuable information. He
is interested in the welfare of the
man who tolls for wages, and he is
opposed to the present-day trend of
legislation. His position was we'll
illustrated by the address he made
recently before the Commercial Club,
a synopsis of which was published
in The Wageworker last week. The
meeting should be we'll attended next
Monday night, and the union car
penters of the city should do every
thing in their power to secure the
attendance OF as many non-union car
penters as possible.
Surface Indications point to a good
season. Residence building will con-
tinue to boom, and there are plans
on the table for numerous large blocks
in the wholesale districts.
A letter from Shelby informs the
la Dor bureau that three or four car
penters are wanted up there.
Local No. 1855 has not grown dis
couraged over the progress of the
educational secretary idea. The
membership IS going to keep ham
mering away on it until it is an as
sured fact.

Unions and union men should take

During the last year the central
body was instrumental in organizing
two new unions, and has under way

more. But it can not push the work
of organization as it should be pushed
unless every union is regularly repre-
sented by a full quota Of delegates.

LOOKS LIKE A DEAD ONE.

Charter Submission Probably Dead,
But the Charter is in Danger.
Thursday afternoon the Lincoln
charter was up in the house. The de-
hate was fierce, the Lancaster county
delegation standing soIidIy for adop-
tion without referring it to the people
The committee recommended submis-
sion, but the amendment was lost by
q vote of 40 to 80.
To be effective the charter must
bear an emergency clause, and bill
with the emergency clause must have
sixty-seven votes to pass. AS The
Waeeworker goes to press the indi-
cations are that the bill cannot muster
the constitutional two-thrds to pass
it with the emergency clause.
The Wagewoi ker has demanded SUBJ
mission. 1t was promised last fall
when the people were asked to take
test vote on the commission plan.
Then submission was refused.
If the charter fails it will be the
fault of those who attempted to trick
the people.

JUDGE WRIGHT DIsTANcED.
New Jersey Court Hands Down Deci-
sion That Breaks All Records.

sion That Breaks All Records.
The supreme court of New jersey
has decided that the Machinists' Dis
trict Council shall pay $3,S47 to the
Speedometer company for putting
that company to the expense of hir-
ing detectives and strikebreakers
during a strike of the machinists
against this Unfair firm. Well, if this
is not the most ridiculous use of the
law we have ever heard of. The
court reasoned that the strikers had
put the company to this expense of
hiring guards and strikebreakers
and consequently should reimburse
the company-paying the company
money to break their own strike for
better conditions. 1t surely seems
that the courts of the country have
been taken possession of by the en-
ployers' associations and that by
awards of money damages against
them and sending their leaders to jail
they nope to give labor organizations
their death blow.
The government and courts repre-
sent the propertied class, and it is
but logical thar they should render
such decisions against labor unions.
1t is the lack of recognition of this
fact that keeps the workingmen di-
vided and impotent on the political
field. However, these unjust and
destructive decisions will serve to
educate labor as it has not been pos
sible to educate by other methods and
there will come an awakening which
will solidify the workers at the ballot
box and give them possession of the
COVE rnment and courts. Machinists

A Little Ray of Sunshine
Pierces the Gloomy Clouds

1t is always best never to holler
until you get out of the woods.
But the victory-for victory it
surely is-from Washington, D. c.,
in the contemp. proceedings against
President Gompers, Vice-President
Mitchell, and Secretary Morrison
would justify any one in ho1lering
through megaphone, that unionists
from end to end of this broad land
may hear the g1addening news.
Newspaper readers will remember
that the injunction in the Bucks
Stove and Range Company case was
originally issued by, Justice Gould.
1t was for an alleged violation of this
injunction that Judge D. Thew Wright
sentenced Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell
aud Morrison to varying terms in Jail.
Last week the appellate court, in
three practically separate opinions,
decided:
That the Federationist, the A. F. of
l.. official magazine, may tell its
Stove and Range Company.
That Justice Gou1d's decision was
| in error in enjoining labor organiza
tions from publishing or otherwise
circulating, whether in writing or
orally, any statement or notice of any
, kind or character whatsoever, calling
attention to the complainants custo-
mers or of dealers or tradesmen or
the public to any boycott against the
complainant
! Justice Orsde!l, one of the concur
ring judges, said: "The sustaining of
such decree (referring to Justice
Goulds decree) by a court of equity
would violate the constitutional rights
of the citizen
| Chief Justice Shepard, of this decid-
| ing court, said: ''The only remedy
for libelous or otherwise malicious,
wrongful and injurious publications is
| by civil action for damages and GRIM
to restrain the publication
| AS to these words of Chief Justice
Shepard, President Gompers said:
''The opinion Of Chief Justice Shep-
ard is exactly that for which the
Federation has been all along con-
| tending, so far as it refers to the
freedom of the press. The right to
freely express opinions is constitu-
tional guaranty. There is nothing
libelous in anything the Federationist
has published in connection with this
whole case.'
Of course, this adjudication does
not touch Judge Wright's decision;
but it is the judgment of eminent
lawyers throughout the country that
Judge Wrights course has been sub
stantially and virtually reversed.
This means that the shadow of the
prison no longer falls on the noble,
courageous and brilliant chiefs of the
American Federation of Labor.
