Just twenty-six more days until La
Dor day. There is still time to work up
enthusiasm. 1t depends upon the labor
organizations to make it a success or
a failure. The majority have voted to
parade. If your union is among the
minority, get the members to reconsid-
er their action, get into line and help
boom the laboringmen's Fourth CT
July.
Unusual activity among the members
of the agitation and label committees
1 is noticed at Assembly halls. For the
past two weeks from two to four of
the members have been present nightly
at the meetings of the different unions,
and in forceful language they have
urged upon those in attendance the ne
cessity, from a union standpoint, of
purchasing, where possible, only goods
bearing the label Of the various organi-
cations. 1t was shown that the boot
and shoe workers, carriage and wagon
workers, bakers, cigarmakers, broom
makers, garment workers, tobacco
workers, taiiors, tackmakers, iron mold
ers, printers and numerous other or
CARNATIONS were manufacturing goods
| having the union label stamped or at
tached thereto, and if the cause of
unioniSm is to triumph it was the
sworn duty of each and every member
of organized labor to purchase goods
! bearing the label of fellow craftsmen
of whatever trade or profession. The
agitation will be kept up until every
known member Of organized labor in
this city becomes converted to the
ideas advanced and the principles
enunciated in the constitution and fun
damental bylaws of nearly every
union organization, and especially of
the American Federation of Labor,
with which organized labor is affiliat-
ed. II this matter is agitated in the
chapels, at the bench or where two or
more union men are wont to congre-
gate. the union label will be found in
every factory and business house in
the United States before the year 1900
arrives.

day.
At the meeting of Typographical
| Union No. 80 last Sunday. a resolution
to the effect that it is desirable, ow-
ing to the increased use of machinery
and the crowding out of employment
! of the printers of the country, that
papers be established by the L T. u.
! in cities where strikes occur and also
| to give steady work to members Of the
craft who are unable to secure sits on
regular established dailies, was carried
unanimously. The intent of the reso-
luton is that the papers be run per-
manently, owned by the International
union, and run for the benefit of the
| craft at large The delegates were in
| structed to bring the resolution before
the convention of the L r. u. at Col
orado Springs, and to ask that body
to instruct their delegates to the A.
| F. Of L. to request that an assessment
of 10 cents per capita be levied on all
affiliated members for the purpose of
establishing labor papers IN localities
where the cause of unionism may be
advanced thereby.
