There is mighty little heard con-
cerning the strike of the Leatherwork-
ers on Horse Goods. The committee
in charge of the interests of the
strikers are not giving out any infor-
nation to the general public, but is
handling the affair seemingly to the
satisfaction of the rank and file. Be
fore the strike local manufacturer
declared that there was no money in
the manufacturing branch Of the bust
ness, and that in case of a strike he
would simply discontinue manufacture
ing. The sincerity of this statement is
evidenced by the fact that the manu-
facturer has tried without success to
secure non-union men, and has de
clared that when his factory opens
again unionists will have no recogni-
ton whatever. In the meanwhile he
is no longer talking about discontinue
ing the manufacturing branch, that
bluff having been called.

BRUTAL AND lNHuMAN.
How Corporation Judges Play Into the

In decision full of the rankest bru-

of humanity and justice the supreme
court of Ohio held within the last
few days that if a railway employe is
compelled to work seventeen hours,
then falls asleep and isl killed while
in the discharge of his duties the rail-
road is not responsible. This is a
sample of how the doctrine of Con
tributory negligence" is used as a de
fense for the continued murder of
workmen and emphasizes the necessi-
ty for legislation that will forever cut
it out in liability cases. The Ohio
State Federation of Labor is striving
to get law passed which will ac-
complish the much-desired result, and
organized workers have made magnifi-
cent responses to the call for financial
and moral support in the work. The

THE STEREOTYPERS

The Lincoln local is not making
whole lot of noise, for the very simple
reason that it isn't very big one.
But at that it claims to have the
largest membership of any craft in the
city, proportionate to the number of
men working at the craft. A whole
lot of locals will have to "go some"
to have as near a 100 per cent union
as the Stereotypers and Electrotypers.
When the international convention
meets in Omaha next June the Lincoln
local will be represented. It will be
the first time in the locals history
that it has been so represented.
Ned Daugherty of the Star stereo
typing room, was in Omaha last week
looking around.
The Omaha local is 1ayin' awake o
nights framing up ways and means
for entertaining the international con
vention. They do say Jim White hasn'1

weeks. The Omaha locals membership

lacks in numbers it is more than max
ing up in activity. And in it's conven-
ton work the Omaha boys have the
backing of live auxiliary and that
helps lot. What's the matter with
an auxiliary in Lincoln? And what's
the matter with bringing the conven-
ton down to Lincoln one day? The
Allied Printing Trades of the city
would doubtless get behind the scheme
and make it a go.
Omaha, June 1918! Don't forget
the dates.
The scribe who records Omaha
notes for the Western Laborer has
this to say in last weeks issue: Zone
of Lincoln's stereotypers came into
town last Saturday, but after seeing
the way the stereotypers in this city
have to work to get out the papers, he
decided that there was too much work
for him and went his way without
even letting us find out his name.
We wonder who it was.

GRAFTON of Labor, and many years Sec
retary of the International Union of

Sunday, April 10, and will speak at
the Auditorium at 8 o'clock in the
evening. Mr.. Lemons address will
be preceded by a band concert fur
nished by Musical Union band
John B. Lennon will speak against
the licensing of the saloon. He does
not come under the auspices of any
trades union, but many trades union
lists joined in inviting him to come to
Lincoln and speak in favor of the anti
saloon policy. He will not pretend
to speak for organized labor, but will
speak as union man who has car
ried union card for upwards of thir-
ty-five years, and will endeavor to
show why organized labor should be
against the legalized liquor traffic as
represented by the American saloon.
The 5000 men who heard Mr.. Len
mons temperance address at Toronto
during the convention Of the A. F. of
L. will never forget it..
Mr.. Lennon is forceful speaker,
thoroughly in earnest, and his words
come quick and sharp-straight from
the shoulder. You may not agree
with his position, but you will be inn
pressed with his earnestness and his
honesty of purpose.
Unless otherwise announced in the
daily newspapers Sunday nights meet
ing will be for men only. In addition
