LAsoR's MEMORIAL DAY.
Sunday, May 8, Designated az Such by
American Federation

Sunday, May 8, Designated az such by
American Federation.
Sunday, May 8, will be Labor Me-
mortal Day." the second Sunday in
May of each year having been so des-
ignated by resolution adopted by
the American Federation of Labor.
The occasion should be duly observed
in Lincoln by the unionists of this
city and Havelock
The Wageworker suggests that the
Central Labor Union take the matter
in charge, appoint the proper commit
tees and proceed to make the day one
long to be remembered in this COM
munity.
The men who have fought in the
Army of Industry and Peace, and who
have laid down life's load, are entitled
to recognition at the hands OF their
surviving comrades. AS unionists we
ought to pay them tribute of loving
words and beautiful flowers. A me-
mortal sermon, special music and a
song service-that would be the
right thing to do on Sunday, May 9Th.

THE PLUMBERS.
Eager for Building Trades Council and
Pushing the Project

Eager for Building Trades Council and
Pushing the Project.
The Plumbers are almost unit in
favoring the organization OF Build
ing Trades Council, and they can not
grasp the reasons the Carpenters ad-
vance for blocking the plan. The
Plumbers are in good shape-better
than for several years past-and work
is coming along at very gratifying
rate.
Master plumbers of Omaha and
their journeymen are now about at the
point where they must come to close
quarters to make things right in that
trade for the present meeting.
At a recent meeting the master
plumbers decided that they will ask
for certain shop rules that have not
heretofore prevailed. They want the
journeymen to report at 7:45 at the
shops, preparatory to starting work
at 8. They also want the journeymen
to furnish their own furnaces and
wrenches up to certain size.
It seems the journeymen have
rule that no man can show up at the
shop sooner than 7:55, and they will
strenuously object to the abrogatioa
OF this rule. holding that Ave minutes
leeway is plenty in which to prepare
for the days work. They do not sup
ply their own furnaces or wrenches,
either, and do not want to.
While the proposed new shop rules
OF the master plumbers are not yet
formally presented to the journeymen,
their gist is pretty well known. The
innovations will be resisted, and de-
mand for a higher rate Of pay will be
made. The present rate is IS day,
and 1t Ia understood, without being
announced as q fact that the new de-
mand will be .os {s a day.
Both sides are keeping cool and
saying nothing, but the wires are all
laid for the negotiations that must
soon open.

TEMPLE DIRECTORS.
Short Meeting That Attends to Quite
a Bit Of Business.

The directors of the Labor Temple
Association met at the Temple Mon
da evening and attended to quite a
bit of important business. It was
decided to proceed at once with the
work of equipping library and read
ing room, and thirty feet of the front
Of the north room will 6e utilized. A
partition will be put in, after which
arches will be cut between the two
big rooms and the rear end of the
north room equipped with more bill
lard and pool tables. The three pool
tables and the lone billiard table are
now being kept hot all the time. and
Manager Rudy believes that four more
tables can be kept busy to great finan-
cial advantage. A committee Of which
Secretary Ihringer is chairman, will
hustle the wherewithal to equip the
library. The bricklayer director de-
clared that his local would cut a win
dow in the north wall without expense
to the association. A committee II
one was appointed to arrange for 3
theatrica benefit. SECRETARY Ihringer
agreed to hold on tosahe job il he
were allowed to employ little help
now and then. and this was agreed to
without division.

All Singing. "0ee, But This Is Lone

All Singing, "Gee, But This Is Lone
come TOWN."
Nothing doing" That's the COM
plant among the Bricklayers and Ma
sons these days. 1t has been long,
long time since work in the mason
line was as slack at this season OF
the year. A lot of contemplated work
has been called off awaiting some EVIL
dence that the drouth ~ill not con-
tinue until crop failure is practically
certain. Several big jobs are in sight
in the near future, but just now there
isn't enough work to notice.
But you can't discourage a brick
layer and mason. The men are all
looking cheerful and taking things as
they come, knowing that il things are
dull now there'll come a time when
they'll be rushing.

consequences of which have not as

Harden says, has no reason to fete
the captain of the Rough Riders as a

is he who humiliated Germany by

WHO THEY ARE.

1t seems that majority of the
switchmen who have been apprehend-
ed for stealing from the cars in the
Kansas City Southern yards obtained
their jobs few years ago by scab-
bing on members of the Switchmen's
Union. who were striking for more
wages. If what the papers say IN
regard to the amount of goods stolen
is true, it would have been far cheap
er to accede to the demands of the
union switchmen, fact which the
officials of the railway company no
doubt realize by this time.-Kansas
