How Metcalfe and Burkett Showed
Their Friendship for Unionism-

Three years ago the members of the
allied printing trades begged Senator
Elmer !. Burkett not to secure for
Ross L.. Hammond the lucrative posi-
ton of collector of internal revenue.
Burkett turned deaf ear to them.
He knew that Hammond was the bit
terest opponent the allied printing
trades had. He knew that Hammond
was haud-inglove with other employ
ing printers TO destroy the allied print
ing trades organizations. He knew all
these things, yet he persisted in giving
Hammond the appointment.

STREET RAILWAY MEN.
Feel the Screws Tighten a Little More
Every Day.

A few months ago the Traction Co.
managers held out as one reason why
they should not be asked to increase
the wages of some of their employees
the fact that the company furnished
free transportation to the employees
has withdrawn this free transporta
ton, but it has overlooked the little
matter Of increasing wages. All the
little cred tickets have been taken
up, and hereafter employees must be
in full uniform and on the way to

nickel. Members of their families are
no longer recipients of free transprota-

LABOR DAY COMMITTEE.
Getting Down to Business and Pushing

The Labor Day committee is getting
in it's work these days. F. A. Hates
of the carpenters is president, and T.
W. Parker of the cigarmakers is Sec
rotary treasurer. The general COM
general committee met last Sunday
afternoon and proceeded to appoint a
number of subcommittee as follows:
oncessions-Grimes, Vaughn.
Banners-Love, LEM.
Sports-Love, LEM, Maupin.
Publicity-Maupin, Yates, White.
Parade-Kelsey.
Hustling-Eissler, Holland, Grimes.
ALREADY the local unions are coming
across with the 10 cents per capita
asked for as a guarantee fund. The
concessions committee has had several
conferences with different parties, but
as yet is undecided where to recon-
mend the holding of the Labor Day
picnic and celebration The matter
will doubtless be definitely settled next
Sunday.
The committee on banners will make
an effort to have a number of splendid
mottos displayed in the parade Every
union man and woman is invited to sub
init suggestions for banners. The

could easily be made the greatest
feature of the parade.
On all sides is evidenced a DISPOSE

CHARLES o. WELDON.
A Senatorial Aspirant Who Stands with
the Progressive Element.

Charles o. Whedon, who is seeking
the republican nomination for the
United States senate, is too well known
as a lawyer to need any introduction
to the intelligent people of Nebraska.
He is admittedly one of the ablest
lawyers in the west. Politically he is
not so well known, but this is because
he has been too busy practicing law
to engage in politics as politician.
but not too busy to be close student
of political affairs He is what many
people call an "insurgent' republican
"a mild term under all the circum-
stances. While firm believer in the
principles of protection he does not
believe in a tariff so high that it robs
the people for the benefit Of a few
trust magnates. He contends that the
republican party-the rank and file
stands for a tariff revision downward,
and that the present tariff law is
not a fulfillment of the party's cam
paign pledges He stands for free
lumber, free agricultural implements,
free wire and several other things now
heavily protected, not in the interests
of the consumers but in the interests
of favored few producers. If sent
to the United States senate it is uni
versally believed that he will line up
with such men as LaFollette. Cum
Minis and Bristow, and not with the
Aldrich -Penrose-Lodg element. In
other words, he will stand for the in
terests of the common people. That a
man of his ability, thorough knowledge
Of the tariff, and courage to speak his
convictions, would WELD command
ing influence is beyond question. Mr.
Whedon is making a strenuous cam
paign, and has seen fit to take the
people wholly into his confidence
There is no one who can read who has
any excuse for not knowing where
Charles o. Whedon stands on all the
questions that are of most vital i'm
portance to the PEG pie. Nebraska
would be honored by having such 6
man representing it in the senate o1
