The latest move on the part of the
retail clerks in the way of inducing
all non-union clerks to become mem
bers is the issue of the union house
card which is leased to merchants on
the same plan as the butchers shop
card. 1t will greatly aid the men,
beers of organized labor who make it a
point to trade with union clerks, as
the card is a guarantee that all CLERKS
in store are members in good stand
ing. 1t will also relieve the union
men of what they might consider a
hardship asking the clerk for the
membership card.
The Trades and Labor assembly will
be asked to help the clerks establish
the house card in every store in the
city whereclerks are employed.

in the men quitting work. AS usual
the question Of wages was at the bot
tom Of the trouble. The men de-
nlanded $500 per day and the COM
pany only wanted to pay $1.75. AS
there is so much idle talk about big
wages the men evidently believe that
they should be at least decently paid
for work where skill and experience
