TWO VALIANT WOMEN.
Give Lincoln Unionists Pointers on
Playing the Union Game.

For several days this week Lincoln
has been honored by the presence of
two young women from st. Louis who
came here in the interests of the
locked-out garment workers of that
city.
Miss Fannie Sellin, president of the
st. Louis local, and Miss Kate Hurley,
are the two young women mentioned,
and they came here to put spoke
or two in the wheels of the Marx
Haas Co. which locked out the union
garment workers eight months ago.
AS result of their visit there is not
a store in Lincoln handling the output
of that "scab" concern. The young
women went about the work in a
businesslike way and they made a
splendid impression everywhere they
visited. They addressed several local
meetings at the Labor Temple and
told an interesting story of the great
fight that the garment workers have
been waging in st. Louis. One of che
most interesting incidents related
was that concerning the political fight
the garment workers put up against
a "scab" who had the temerity to
run for alderman. This fellow was
once a member of the union, but de-
serted to return to the struck factory
at a high wage Later he became a
candidate for the CITY council On the
morning of election day Misses Sellin
and Hurley went into the "scab's"
ward with banners and literature, and
they spent the day working against
