WORLD OF THE WAGE-WORKER- ‘What Has Been Accomplished in It the Past Week. COMING OF WINTRY DAYS, What Eff.ct the Cold Weather Will Have Upon the Mcn Who Have Passed the Year on Public lmprovements. Another Month, ‘fhere are mow about fifteen hundred laborers employed by the city. It is believed that there will be plenty for them to do for the next thirty days. Fully five hundred teams are being used and will ve kept steadily employed until stopped by Jack Frost. * “There is $25,000 worth of work yet to De finished this year,” said City Engineer Tillson, “and I am satisfied the Rreater portion of i would be completed inside of the next thirty days. After the frost settles in the ground there will be no work done except possibly to lay & little stone where the concrete is aiready placed und to lay brick. During the last week the workmen 10s% only one day; that was Friday, when we had the heavy snow storm."” Allrged Laboring Men. ““Alleged laboring men,” said a hard worker to-day, “bave orzanized themselves mnto different associations. I don't blame them for that. 1 like to see organization and believe it tobe a good thing, but when fol- lows get together and organizo for money, it hurts the genuine organizations and makes a farce of the true, blue blood. Itis true that such associations and organizations 8pring up just before every election, but the organizers get all the money and no person in particular the benefits, cting Arthur. The delegates who attended the conven- tion of the brotherbood of engineers at Den- ver will return home to-day, Itwasa long and lively session. From Omaha there were three delegates, and each of the geatlemen worked hard and coutinu- ous for Vroman, After Arthur was selected chief last Mon- duy the aunouncement wus received with tho greatest satisfaction, althongh Arthur 18 not the most popular man who could be named, In speaking of the battle before Arthur was nominated, the Denver News has this to say of the situation: “Several ot Mr. Vro- man's henchmen were scen reading the an- nouncement that pictured the Vedder boom iarger than that of their favor ite. Widowed adjectives orphaned nouns, steeped in profanity, toated through the Markham lobby, from the excited lips of the Vroman enthusiasts, When sufliciently calmed the stalwart Johun- son, manuger of the Vroman wing, rubbed the creasus from his shirt front and said thav the Vromen men would, if necessary, die in tho last diteh with their colors Hying and band playing, He claimed that victory was in sight, aud predicted Vroman's election by @ majority of fourteen votes. One volo ma- jority is sufficient to eles Mr. Vedder was the secona choice of the Vroman constituency, Mr. Vedder is a sala- ried chairman of the Gould system griev- ance commitiee ana_a man of sound judg- mont. Asido from his personal popularity his claims are greatly promoted by tue fuct that the office of grand chief has baen heid by on eastorn man for over twenty years. Cloveland's selection 15 a foregone conblu- sion, s it is the most accessitle railway cen- ter to grievance embassadors ou their way east Lo see bieads of the railway world, who reside mostly east of the Mississippi river. It is also central for the southern and other nnm.lixer;b rho dulmhw coufer with the chief. Geography has successfully ocked out the chances of Omaka aud Den- ver, while the Tilinois conspiracy law has put Chicago’s chances in sweet repose.” “There is no chance for us fellows to .7 said a member of the brotherhood. *Of course I don’t want to be quoted, but us western fellows wanted Vroman, Arthur is all right on sowe things, but we are not sat- isfled with the way he has carried out a ma- jority of his instructions. **Of course,” said the gentleman, “we do not want to be vlaced on record as saying anything against the conduct of the conven- tion, but you will find a whole lot of western fellows who are opnosed 1o Arthur.” A reparter for Tur BEg has carefvlly can- vassed the situation and finds that near’ of the western delegates are sorry Vroman was not elected. that A Labor Candidate. John IL. Ames, the labor candidate for su- vrewe judge of Nebrasa, was born i Wind- bam county, Vt., February 20, 1847, being the youngest of u family of three boys. His parents removed to Chautauqua county, N. Y., when he was seven years of age, where he was reared on a farm, being employed with the duties of farm life until he was seventeen years of nge. “He attended the common schools,” says the Nebraska Laborer, *and at seventcen entered Fredonia academy, K'redonia, N. Y., where he received an_academical education. After graduating from this school be con- fined his attention to the study of law. Ho enrolled himsell as a student with the m of Shannon & Scott, at Forestville, Y.. consisting of Daniel’ Shuanon, now surrogate of that county, and Captain Na- than S. Scott, for the pust twenty yearsa resident of this city. Ho was admitted to the bar at Buffalo, N. Y., in May. 1868, and iuwnediately opeued a law oftico at Dunkirk, in that state. In politics Mr. Ames was a republican, until the presigential campaign of 1584, Mr. Ames has been county attorney, and was & member of & commission appointed in 1877, to revise the statutes of Nebraska,” Cught to Barmonize. ‘“The signs of the times,” says B, O. Lit tietield, “are hopeful for the ultimate triumph of the principles contended for by the great labor organizations, All that has prevented its accomplishment years ago is the fatal tendency of labor organizations to quarrel among themselves, thereby dividing their strength and causing them to fall an easy prey to their oppressors, The recent conference between the ‘Knirhts of Lator and the American Federation of Labor, the two leading organizations of the United States, was a step in the right direction, and the harmony and mutual concessions, whi characterized the mee uuger well for the future success of the movement so de- voutly hoped for by all friends of labor. It is 10 be hoped that the next conference of these two great wings of the labor party will witzess the consummation of the movement for the uuification of these organizations whoso aiws and objects are in most resvects identical. The Plasterers. *“The plasterers of Omaha,” said a well- &nown contractor, “are altogether too inde- vendent. They do good worlk, get good pay, and the journeymen who really want to work are never out of employwment in the season when they are supposed to wo “Hut the boys are brone to kick on small mauters,” coutinued - the contractor, *and for that reasou cousiderable work is re- tarded,” A union plasterer was seen by a reporter after the above interview, The laborer said: “We have bad Little or no strife with our bo: s this scason. Nothing unreason- able hus boen asked, and evory demand has been acceded to, barring a few imstunces, where the work was only checked for a duy.” Destroying Sectionslism. “The Farmers' and Laborers' organization union,” suys the Toiler, “are domng more o unite the north aud south aud remove sec- tional prejudice than uny other ageucy in ex- istance. We hope yet to see the day when there will be no north, uo south, no east, no west 10 our grand union of sta The in terest of farmers from Maive to California are, or should be oue and the same, and, our noble order as a great fraternal brother- hood united by this tie of common interest would be able to demand and get protection from the aggressions and_robbery of organ- ized money sharks; divided, our chances of success are not so certain.” Organizing Oarriagemakers, The carriagemakers of Omaha will soon organize a union. Mr. G. A. Gooser, a cigar- maker who lives at 103 South Thi teenth strect, has tendercd his ser- vices to assist in the organation, apd is now laying s plans to make the union a success. There are about oue hundred carriage makers v this city; and although they are all competent and thorough workmen, there has never yut been an effort made to organize a union. Tt is ex- pected that at a meeting to be held this week there will be at least fifty carriage makers present. A notice of the place of meeting will be published in Tre BE. Whose Turn Next? The political labor clement has split. A weels ago several representatives of various trades unions got together and endorsed a ket headed by Boyd. Two mights later another crowd of allezed laborers got to- gether and_endorsed a ticket headed by Co- burn. Such has been too daily campaiga in s0 faras the office of sheriff goes. Non-Residents, Laboring men who have teams and who live 1n Omaha are making streneous objec- tions to people who live outside of the et and in Jowa doing day labor here and carry- ing their earmings to another town. This matter will cd both by the board of public works and by the city council. Labor Notes, A great deal of extra labor was given to the men who take care of the horse and motor cars this week on account of the snow storm, and some of the employes were cou- pelled to work eighteen hours a day, but they were allowed extra pay for over time. All the work on the new county hospital has been completed. Snow-shovelers are now earning $2 por day. The lads who turn the electrie cranks on the front end of the motor cars are asking for shelier. The Knights of Labor of Lincoln are rais- ing funds to open areading room for the benefit of members ard their friends. Funds have been liberally subscribed, —— Hallowe'sn Again. The Misses Grace Blanchard and Matie Botawell gave a Hallowe'en party 10 about forty of their young frienas Thursday even- ing, at the residence of J. B. Blanchard, coruer of Woolworth avenue and Twenty- sixth street. The front of the house was illuminated with juck o'lanterns, made of Jarge pumpking, Each guest was furpishea with a badge composed of & pumvkin seed, upon which a number wus painted taste- fuily and tied with & bow of »ribbon. ‘Inese numbers were called in couplets, and the young ladies and gevtlemen marched to ibe diniog room, where they supplicd themselves with the good things of life at 11 p. .

Gougar upon the editor of Tue Bee merits the contempt of all right-minded christian people. Her brazon and entirely wmasculine demeanor, from veginuing to end, is that of an adventuress ‘seeking notoriety, and is no more worthy of notice than any other weak minded fanutic verging migh onto insanity, unless it be in pity. What of her home, with the wife and mother, if such she unfortunately is (un- forwunate for the husband and children), I say, what of her home with the wile and mother storming over this country in a man- ner that, were she a man, she would not only be ousted by the people cvorywhere, but would be branded as a common coward and falsitier, lam in favor of prohibition as against Iigh license; I also believe that pronibition prohibits, and even though it did not pro- babit, if it is wrong to sell liquor it is de cidedly wrong to receive pay for a license tosellit. Butthis is a free country, in- havited by millions of liberty-loving people, every one of whom is entitled 10 Lis or her opinion, Mrs. Gougar's actions are more in keeping with the slums of the world, the wmost vile, if you please, who carry out their ends with violence and bard words, than with the udvocate of a christian asscciation, in trying to convince the people of their errors by heaping upon them such episties and jail-bird language and incitations Lo uels of violence and comimon briwls. Mrs. Gougar will ruin the lemperanoc cause in Nebraska, and if the W, C. I\ U. have an ©ye to their interests, they will throw her out of the Union without ceremony. Her attacks upon Mr. Rosewatler and our own own fair state are simply preposterous, and pollute the very air we breathe, ana while it 10 uupleasant for our peopio 10 sit quietly aud lot such howlings go by unnoticed, even from the commonest sort of hnmanity, vet it . is better, perhaps, to let the poor bubbling fanatic go on unnoticed, as all this wasie of printers’ ink serves ounly to satisfy herine satiablo desiro for vulgar notoriet 1 have only one more statement to make, and 1 doing s0 1 echo the sentiments of hundreds of temperance people in this state and elsewhere—that uniess the W.
