IN the unfortunate Armenians. We

Union Men Give an
Hours Wage to Help
Pay Hatters' Fine

More than 1000 members Of Omaha
trade unions contributed an hours wage
toward payment of the SSO0,OOO fine Of the
Danbury Comm Hatters' union, in cele-
bration of the slxty-sixth birthday of
Samuel Gompers. president OF the Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor, according to es-
Inmates made by local labor leaders.
Most of the Omaha union men who are
employed are believed to have contrib
uted. but no estimate of the amount given
can be made until reports are made by
the local unions to the central organiza-
ton, according to T. w. Mccullough, del
egate Of the International Typographical
union to the American Federation OF
Labor.
The painters and stereotypers and cleo
trotypers, No. "A, made their contributions
a week ago. They were sent to Secretary
Morrison of the American Federation of
Labor and Martin Lawlor secretary of
the United Hatters Of North America.
Local unionists took the occasion much
as a matter OF course. Contributions were
entirely voluntary. In many shops the
names OF those who had given their por-
tions were posted.
The money will go to pay the fine and
court costs imposed against the Hatters'
union of Danbury. Conn, in the famous
case brought under the Sherman anti
trust law by Loewe & Co.

Here is a Chance to
Help Anticipating
Campaign in Omaha

Mrs H. c. Sumney. who Is backing a
campaign for the observance of the anti

cost of printing cards and billboard post
ers will be about $50, and she makes a
public appeal for contributions toward
this fund. Working with Mrs. Sumney
is Mrs. K. r. J. Edholnl. representing
the Nebraska Society for the study and
Prevention of tuberculosis.
b. A. Wilcox of the Omaha National
bank has agreed to serve as treasurer
and will receive and account for all
contributions sent. Those interested may
send their money by mail or call on
MIR. Wilcox.
This is the peoples fight and we are
confident that the money will be well
spent" said Mrs. Sumney.
Next week 800 placards will be distri-
buted among various centers of indus
try. the text of these notices calling at
tention to the evils of splitting in public
places II has been conceded that legis-
lation against splitting has not been very
effective. The present campaign will be
one of agitation and education.
Policemen are to be instructed to in
form offenders regarding the ordinance
When the hand cards shall have been
printed supplies will be given 20 the
policemen for use when necessary.
