Sir: March %, 1887
Good Friday 1887 has, by the
act of the most eowardly group OF
men ever elected to represent the
people of Nebraska, been turned
into Black Friday instead, by THEN
vote on the Child Labor Enabling
Resolution.
If you voted against this resolu-
ton you participated in the dirtiest
days work eve done in the Ne
braska State Legislature. That is
saying a good deal, but let it stand
Organized Labor of this nation,
along with other great groups of
which you are aware, made it per
fectly plain to you that we intend
that child slavery shall be out
lawed in America, and we intend
to cooperate with all of these
groups to make good purpose.
Couldn't you imagine the thou
sands upon thousands of wretched,
half starved children in the great
sweat shops of the east and south
appealing to you with tears in their
eyes, to participate in their liberia
ton from slavery?
Can't you now hear their cry of
despair since the word has been
flashed to the world that Nebraska
Nebraska with the most magni-
ficent capitol building in all the
land-Nebraska with the most un-
derstanding, most friendly and most
charitable people in all the world
Nebraska the state with the re-
putation of caring for and fighting
for the under-privileged-that Ne
baska has failed these little ones?
Are you proud to be part of that
group of men that gave these
little ones another kick down into
the utter depths of despair?
By your failure to request and
to see that your vote was properly
recorded, you have placed yourself
squarely on record to US as OPP
posed to this great humanitarian
measure and unless we receive
from you e your signature at
once a reply that you voted for
the amendment, and will use your
best efforts to call it up again and
pass it with a record vote, we shall
lever rest until we have de-
feated you for any public position
of trust to which you may in the
future aspire.
Organized Labor has long been
tolerant of the studied rebuffs that
have been administered to it this
session, but here and now we make
this simple statement, we shall join
with any and all liberal and en-
lightened groups in seeing that the
Child Labor Amendment is passed
by Nebraska, and we shall use
our money and influence through

religious and municipal leaders. We are proud to have as the chairman of our advisory board the lieutenant governor of our state, the Hon. Frank Hayes, who gives unstintingly of his valuable time and support, 50 that tho Sal- vation Army may profit thereby. And where could one find a more honorable, God-fearing, lovable vice-chairman than Dr. John N. Lewis; a more efficient, painstak- ing treasurer than Thomas F. Moore, or a better secretary than Miss Mary Franklin. They are the officers of the Salvation Army advisory board, and that is one of the reasons why the local Salva- ton Army faces the future 50 confidently.
 There Is still much work to be done in Waterbury. The local corps is extremely fortunate in having as its leaders two officers of wide and varied experience Adjutant and Mrs. Hugo Wiberg, both consecrated to the service of mankind, regardless of race, color or creed. To enable them to carry on their religious and social &C., tivities for the next year, requires the sum of 5000. The citizens of Waterbury have always assist ed the Salvation Army and we are confident that they will do so again this year.
 This is your opportunity to sub- stantially declare your faith in the local Salvation Army and it's pres- ent administration by contributing to the 1887 maintenance appeal. Checks may be made payable to Thomas F. Moore, treasurer Citi- zens and Manufacturers Bank. Again we urge you-"Support the program of the local Salvation
 Army and do it now"

 The 1897 Salvation Army main- tenance appeal is now well under way, and the various committees are hard at work in order to reach, as soon as possible, the financial goal of 5000.
 It is with a great deal of pleas ure that we note the enthusiasm displayed by the various divisions, coupled with the unselfishness and willingness shown by the indiytd- ual member to be of service to the Salvation Army.
 For many years I have lived close to the Army, studied their methods, joined in their simple worship, and worn their uniform. During the dreaded days of the World War, was attached to Sal- vation Army headquarters in Hol- land and saw and partook in its great work among the Belgian refugees and in the interned sol- diers' camps. It was the Salvation Army who brought cheer and smiles with its brass bands and its optimism: 1t was the Salva- ton Army, who brought hope and light in those dark days among refugees and ipterned soldiers aliIe-the same Army which marched with unfaltering steps through the recent unforgettable industrial depression.
