The wageworker. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1904-????, 1910-07-22

The ST. Joseph band, union organic
alton, would have pulled out of the
parade had that course been insisted
on, but it was not, but the St. Joseph
boys refused to enter the opera house
with the non union bunch. An effort
was made to pull off a theatrical stunt
when ex-Vice President Fairbanks
walked out on the stage of the Boyd
theatre. President Dobbs of the con,
vention had to give the signal three
or four times, and then the musicians
of the nonunion variety from Lincoln,
sitting in the body of the house, tried
to play America. Everybody arose
and tried to sing, but the vocal effort
was miserable failure on account of
the lack of harmony and time from the
wouldbe accompanies. Once more a
big bunch of men ostensibly boosting
Lincoln were headed by a band re-
cruited from the suburbs, the tall grass
and the hedges. 1t was, however, much
cheaper than a Lincoln band of union
men would have been.

Fined Member Pulls Out and Takes

Some "Yellows' With Him.
Eddie Walt, having violated the rules
of the Musicians Union, of which he
was member, was fined by the union.
Walt Immediately seeded from the
union and succeeded in carrying with
him four weakened members who
were scared lest they be unable to
hold job under any other orchestra
leader. Among these was one French.
French happened to be the Ad Club
member appointed to secure band
for the Ad Club excursion to Omaha
last Monday. While the trouble over
that Hebron band matter was up
French arose on the floor of the Must
Clans Union and told about the COM
members that it would be union job.
Then came the Walt secession, and

politicians asking them to boost for
Lincoln and Lincoln workers by hav-
ing the label on their printing It is
surprising to see men otherwise intelli-
gent opposing the label when it really
is money out Of their pockets. And it
is equally surprising to know that they
have the support of people who claim
to have religion.
The label committee called on the Y.
NJ. G. A. management and asked to
have the label on the printing. The
management still continues to have it's
work done at the New Century, one
of the struck shops.
l hear it directly charged that the
strike breaking pressmen in couple
of the shops are herded at a certain
hotel and kept literally supplied with
liquid refreshments. A pressman i'm
ported from Chicago, and who happen
ed to be union man under cover,
says that when they were hired in
Chicago by the committee Of unfair
employers from Lincoln, the employers
took them to the Saratoga hotel, gave
them theatre parties and supplied them
with plenty of frewater to drink on
the train between Chicago and Lincoln.
There were eight Of these strike break
ers in the party recruited by the Lin
coin employers.
The Journal management claims there
is no money in the state printing. But
haven It you heard of taking work on
the specifications at actual cost for
the purpose of getting whack at the
extras?' Haven't you heard some
thing of taking supreme court reports
at cost Or less and then getting $s5, 900
on very questionable proceedings in
connection with these same reports
We are in favor Of state printing
plant wherein the state may do it's
own printing. Under that arrangement
maybe there wouldn It be so many
blank pages in the reports printed at
SO much per page.

since the strike began. That means
good many dollars turned away from
that concern, and all because it is Off
cered in part by unfair employers.
Some men join church or lodge in
order to get business. What counts
most in helping ones fellows to earn
a decent livelihood. The strike break
ers are getting what the strikers have
fought for and paid for.
The ranks of the "inner circle' of

THE CHAMPION sPELuER.

Oklahoma people never miss an op-
portunlty to let their light shine. and
the meeting OF the National Educa-
tionai association was not allowed to
pass without the appearance OF a
champion to uphold the reputation OF
the southwestern state.
Down in Oklahoma the impression
prevailed that there was to be a spell
ing match some time during tho
meeting OF the educational associa-
ton and preparations were made TO
enter the champion speller Of the
state, Miss Bessie Oliver Of Meal
lister.
Bessie holds the Oklahoma cham
pionship by reason OF having defeat
ed her last rival on the 2O21st word.
which Is quite an achievement and
proves that the young lady Is In pos
session Of a most extensive vocabu-
larry.
In view OF her talents in the SPELL
ing line Bessie was sent to Boston.
her mother going along as guard. to
spell down all the bigwigs in the
teaching profession. The pair arrived
in the city of culture and beans only
to find that a spelling match was not
on tho program and that a def
from the Oklahoma champion would
not be considered
Naturally. II was a great disap-
pointment to Bessie and great chagrin
IS felt down in the Choctow and
Chickasaw country on account OF the
failure OF the association to inject a
little country life into the proceed
! ings
Bessie can claim the championship
Of the United States. II not by de-
fault, at least by reason OF the failure
OF the program committee to provide
for a contest IN her line.

UTAH PRODUCT COMMENDED.

The authorities OF British Columbia
are taking all possible precautions
against allowing their orchards 20 be-
come infected and a large amount OF
imported nursery plants have recent
ly been destroyed
The trees destroyed came from ia

from the United States. and consisted
Of some 10000 trees and plants in

cluded apple. pear. ounce, peach. ap-
ricot. crab. nectarine, small fruit, and
ornamental shrubs. The inspector
stated that there was enough infec-
ton destroyed in this lot to have in
fectcd the whole Of British Columbia.
Not only Is the imported nursery
stock inspected. but all the nurseries
throughout the province. No COM
pany OF individual is permitted to dis
tribute trees until they have passed
inspection by competent inspectors.
The same rule is followed regarding
the sale Of fruit. and there is not e

diseased Is condemned and cremated

which It was shipped. This rule is

icy OF the department is 20 maintain
absolutely clean orchards and clean,
wholesome fruit, with a maximum Of
profit 70 the grower.

coon WORK GOES on.

Three companies that had formed a
combination in violation OF the Sher-
man antitrust law were fined $1,000
each IN the federal court Saturday
after entering a plea OF guilty. These
concerns were given the minimum
penalty because their combination in
reality did not have any appreciable
effect IN the restraint OF trade.
These be evil times for combina-
lions Of all kinds. The department
OF justice has announced its intention
OF prosecuting all offenders, both
great and small and this latest case
proves that the attorney general
meant what he said
Some OF the larger corporations
may possibly escape until after the
supreme court passes upon the Stand
ard OIL and American Tobacco cases.
But their turn to face the music will
come IN due course OF time.

Why shouldn't these foreigners be
compelled to submit to a medical ex-
animation before being allowed to ex-
pose their wares for sale? There
have been innumerable complaints
that the wares Of some of these men
were unfit to be eaten Why not in
spect what they offer for sale7
The dairymen are put through a
course OF sprouts every once in a
while and are continually watched
TO protect the health and lives OF the
little ones whose chief article OF food
Is milk At the same time men SUI
fering with loathsome diseases are
peddling fruit and popcorn in the
streets.
This is a matter that should en-
gage the early attention OF the au-
thorities. Everything desirable can
be purchased at clean and wholesome
places and the pushcart business
should not be allowed unless the per-
sons in charge are clean and healthy
AL the articles they offer for sale
are what they purport TO be. The
case OF the leper now at large is a
sufficient warning.

In Germany, as well as IN some
other civilized countries. that could

physicians have increased out OF all

In the province OF Brandenburg.
for instance. the percentage increase
in population end physicians from
1883 to 1903 was as follows: Popula-
ton 55 per cent. doctors 3o2 per cent;
Posen, population II per cent doc
tors 106 per cent; Berlin, population
SO per cent. doctors 155 per cent The
following shows the number of the
population 20 each physician: Berlin.
T76; Posen, 3,246; West Prussia, B.
1O2: Reuss. 2.725.
In Saxony IN 1906 there were p
257 doctors as compared with e9s in
1888: there was one doctor 20 2,o16
inhabitants IN 1906, against one 70 B.
os1 IN 1883. The increase OF the
population was 47.se per cent, that
OF the doctors 1858 per cent
According to the figures there were
not enough doctors in Germany IN
1883 and in some cases the deficiency
has not been fully supplied. One
physician to s,725 inhabitants. as in
the case of Reuss, is not sufficient,
according to American standards. The

the loss Of all stock destroyed by
reason Of Infection II is 20 their in
terest to take particlar care to see
that any stock sold TO be used in
the province OF British Columbia Is
perfectly clean in every respect, and
shippers OF fruit should also be sure
that the fruit and packages are en-

It will be condemned and not allowed
to be used in the province.
Now that the state has a good rep

of its fruit and trees, efforts should
be redoubled to keep the pests out
