The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1910-07-01

l know of but one industry that has
been crippled by the "dry'' policy
the cigarmaking industry. And yet
there is just as many opportunities to-
day for buying Lincoln made cigars
as there ever were. The trouble is, a
vast majority of the fellows who be-
wall the hard luck of the local cigar
makers are men who never think of
buying a Lincoln made cigar anyhow.
Others who are always shrieking,
"Stand up for Lincoln" do it be-
tween puffs on cigars made in eastern
tenements, and still others are men
who love to prate of their unionism
and habitually smoke "scab" cigars CT
cigarettes made from "Puke's Mix
ture' or "Bull Scraps" Let s be fair,
gentlemen. .. ....-

sition. Instead Of frowning upon tho

And what the Gazette says must

On the square, while on train the
other day | heard Lincoln man cuss-
ing the bankers of Lincoln because
none of them would loan him $3.50 to
make the first payment on a ST. 500
automobile. He said they were "cheap
skates; that they ''lacked enter
PRISE; that they were a "lot of
grafters; and he cussed them from
Dan to Beer-Sheba. All Of which con-
vinced me that when l get dollar or
two ahead I'm quite sure it will be
safe if deposited in any one of Lin
coins banking institutions.

The "Trade Extension Boosters"
have returned, claiming to have had
a pleasant and profitable trip. Perhaps.
But this l do know, that if the work
in men of this section Of the country
who buy goods of the retailers who
patronize the wholesalers on that ex-
cursion made an average Of 93 cents
a day-the amount paid by these
"boosters for their bandsmen-
there would be an almighty falling off
in the business done by the aforesaid
boosters and their retailing custom
ers. The men responsible for this lit
tie stunt ought to be ashamed of them
selves. They gave visible evidence of
contradicting what they preach, stulti-
fed themselves by going back on their
slogan, "Let us all boost together for
Lincoln and put themselves on rec
ord as favoring the importation of
cheap foreign labor. That is the plain
abe of the whole matter. In this
connection take pleasure in reproduc-
ing this extract from the Fairbury Ga
zette-and the city of Fairbury is one
of the best of the little cities" in

I am prouder than ever today of my
membership in the Fraternal Order Of
Eagles. After it has been roasted and
toasted to a frazzle as an "organiza-
ton Of booze fighters, "saloonkeep-
ers" and liquor touters" desire to
call attention to the fact that the
local aerie has notified the public that
it's buffet has been closed, and that it
will not even institute the locker sys-
tem Other organizations that have
consumed more booze than the Eagles
ever tried to consume, and which have
posed as being made of men Of better
clay, are putting in the locker system.
And now 1 am waiting for the roasters
and toasters to make proper acknowl-
edgment of the action of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles. And I expect to
keep right on waiting, too.
The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1910-07-01

1t is just bit natural, of course,
that a reference to the Eagles should
call to mind the Anti-Saloon League.
Have you noticed the recent fiare-up i'll
that organization? When men like
Senator Patrick, and Rev. Mr.. Batten,
and ex-State Superintendent McBrien:
and Lyslie l. Abbott pull out of an or
anization and give as a reason that
the MAJ, at the h. -.l,)! it fail d to keep
his promises, then there is ample room
for the suspicion that fighting the sa-
loon is somewhat secondary to the
main issue-the collection box. I'm
not interested in the Anti-Saloon
Leaue nor in the County Option
League, but in common with all other
men who want things done on the
square I'd like to have all the facts
presented to an anxious public.

Sheriff Hoagland, stand up! 1t is
openly charged that you appointed
deputy sheriffs on the recommends
tion Of Superintendent Alderman Of
the Havelock shops, and that while
these men are exercising the authority
of the county they are being paid by
the Burlington. Is it true? It is
charged that some of these deputies
are fighting, drunken, brawling pugs
who are continually seeking to nag
the striking boilermakers to the point
of fighting, so that they may be
Jugged for contempt. Is it so? And
it is charged that murder was COM
mitted in the stockade at Havelock
week or two ago. Is it so? And by
why right do you provide corpora
tion with deputy sheriffs to act as pri-
vate policemen and "persuading COM
mittees?" Stand up, Sheriff Hoagland!
You are going to be put on the rack.

STRIKE ENDED
Final Negotiations Concluded
Wednesday Night.
Final

The strike is ended. At a
late hour Wednesday night the
final negotiations between the
operators and mine workers were
concluded. Concessions were
made on both sides; but, it is
believed that the miners have
won a majority of the essentials
for which they were contending.
They have won betterments of
the working conditions in addi-
tion to an advance of 51a cents
per ton on mine run coal.
This ends the longest con-
troyerSy between these organiza-
tons ever known. The miners
pit work April l., and have
been idle ever since.
