are they making the foot-back trip

They rested here Sunday and re-

Welcome Women With Hearts Who
Feel for the Helpers.

During the recent strike of the
Shirtwaist Workers, the press carried
word to the effect that Miss Anna
Morgan, daughter of j. Pierpont Nor
gan. was and did give valuable aid,
both in monetary and moral way, to
those striving for better conditions.
Regrettable as it may appear, in one
or two of those papers which reach our
desk, it was said that she was the
pirate s daughter God bless her, for
being a daughter. By her acts she also
demonstrated that she had heart!
Yes, even if that heart had been
brought to maturity in an atmosphere
far removed from those whom she
sought to assist. Whatever we think
of Mr. Morgan. as man, we will give
due credit to the little daughter who
felt the appeal of humanity and had
a heart large enough to heed the call.
Would there were few more in all
the cities of this broad land like her.
If so, the lot of the woman toilers
would speedily improve.-Cincinnati

AUGUSTUS A. HYERS.

Ladies and gentlemen: [ have the
honor and the pleasure of introducing
to you Hon. Augustus A. Flyers, SER
geant-at arms of the Nebraska State
Federation Of Labor, union machinist
and postmaster of Havelock.
"Gus' Hyers was born in Nebraska
along with the grasshoppers Of 1874,
appearing first on farm near Weeping
Water. Later he took his parents to
Plattsmouth and attended the public
schools of that city. In 1885 he once
more took his parents by the hands
and led them to Yankee Hill precinct,
Lancaster county, and made his father
warden of the Nebraska State Prison.
He attended the public schools in Lin

OUR ADVERTISERS.

We bespeak for the advertisers in
the Wageworker the patronage of all
who are interested in the cause of or
ganization. The merchants who adver-
tisc in the Wageworker do so because
they want the patronage of union men
and women and are therefore extending
them an invitation. The merchant
who refuses ITO advertise in the Wage
worker can only put forth one raason-
he does not care for the patronage of
those whose interests The Wageworker
tries honestly to advance. He cannot re-
fuse on the grounds of rates or lack OF
readers before whom his advertising
might be laid.
The Wageworker advertisers are
inviting you to patronize them. just
as Won would scorn to attend a select
social function to which you We're not
invited. so should you scorn to patronize
a merchant who thought so little of
Your patronage that he did not ask
YOU for it.
This newspaper uses every effort to
protect its union readers against un-
fair goods. 1t has never knowingly ad-
vertiscd unfair products. 1t has re-
fused time and again, to carry adver-
vcrtisements of certain lines of goods,
knowing them to be unfair to organized
labor. although it could have "gotten
away with it, easy enough. A case
in point: During the recent strike of
the boot and shoe workers against the
w. l.. Douglas Shoe Co. that company
tried to secure a contract for space in
The Wageworker. The offer was turned
down cold, although many other labor
papers took advantage of technicality
and accepted the advertising. Another
case: BY misrepresentation - down
right lying, in fact n Chicago concern
secured a contract for space in The
Wageworker. Before the contract was
half expired it came to our knowledge
upon union men and women by foist
ing unfair goods upon them. The con
tract was Immediately cancelled, at
considerable financial loss to this paper.
At all time and under all circumstances
The Wageworker has tried to protect
the interests of union men and women.
and at the same time tried to boost for
the fair home merchant. And there are
many such in Lincoln. For an almost
complete list of these friendly business
concerns we commend to your careful
consideration the advertisers. not only
in this ISSUE but in the regular issues
of the Wageworker. We wish them all
well. May their business increase, and
may the ties of friendship grow strong

way may be fatal.
That "fellow servant S rufe' is one
Of the three granite milestones in
the road of social injustice, which
every American factory or foundry
worker must tread. The other two
are called "contributory negligence
and assumption of risk The up
shot of all three is that the law makes
the widow of the average victim of
our industry the present of a lawsuit,
when what she needs, and what justice
dictates she should have, is money to
bury him, money to keep herself and
children alive until she can get board
ers, or scrubwork or homework, or
until work can be found for the chill
dren.

little step in the right direction this

hazardous callings the old injustice
persists-N. Y. Evening Mail.

A ONCE STRONG UNION.
Only Lcbor Organization Ever Char
tered by Congress is Dead.

A once strong union. the Machinists
and Blacksmiths Union of North Am
erica. was founded in 1859, and was
Incorporated by congress in 1859: the
only union which, so far as | know,
ever received charter from the United
States government. This body was
composed of smiths and machine MAX
ers at first, but afterward, boilermakers
and patternmakers were added, and in
1877 it took the name of Mechanical
Engineers of the United States of
America. Its membership amounted to
$4,000 in 1872, but had fallen to 5000
in 1878; and if it still exists, it must
lead very quiet life.-Richard T.

THE WRONG OF THE WORKER.
Cruel Injustice Heaped on Him in Guise
of Law.

John Mitchell, a steel worker, in
charge Of one of the soaking pits
in the West Penn plant in the Pitts
burg district, called to fellow work
man last week to perform some regu-
lar task The news dispatch continues:
"The man pulled the wrong
lever, opening great door at
the feet of Mitchell, who fell
forward into the seething pit
and upon white steel ingot which
he had Just placed there. In two
minutes not trace of his body
remained.
Shocking but the most shocking
thing is vet to be told. That is that
it was fortunate that the body of this
steel worker was utterly consumed.
Had there been any funeral expenses
to pay, the family of that man under
the common law, and under the law
as it stands in most states-including
we believe. Pennsylvalia-would have
been compelled to defray the expenses
out of it's own pocket. Any aid it
would have received would have come
from the good will of the employer,
not of right.
The fact of the matter is that John
Mitchell had unwittingly committed
something like a crime. That crime
was in having a co-worker who made
mistake, who pulled the wrong lever.
You can read all about the mistake
in those volumes of English and Ameri-
can, particularly American, court re-
ports which treat Of the "fellow serv-
