Secretary John F. Krieger has received
a communication from G. w. Perkins.
president of the International Cigarmak-

to the fact that the following persons
have been held to the grand jury under

cigar labels: J. c. Fleichman, Factory
2SG6, Litiz; F. Frankhauser, Factory ILL.,
Terre Hill; John Burkholder, Martindale,

Reading. The communication adds that
there is growing demand for the blue
union label all over the country.

room of that paper to d union compost
tor. Organized labor in that city has
recognized this act In it's behalf by in
creasing it's circulation to a point never
attained when 1t was a member Of the
combination. Union men all over Min

BRAVE UNION MEN IN WAR.
'The war with Spain was one greatly to
be deplored, but 1t demonstrated one fact:
that no Drawer men ever fought for their
country than those from the ranks Of or
ganized labor; men who gave up the
dearest ties of earth that the Stars and
Stripes might prevail. On the field Of
battle at Santiago, at San Juan, and on
the seas they were the bravest Of the
brave, always at the front, never In the
rear. The sinking of the Merrimac by
the intrepid Hobson and his little band
Of volunteers was a feat of daring unpar-
alleled in the annals of warfare but Il
should not be forgotten that among those
who followed him to almost certain death
one was a member of the International
Machinists' union.
LABOR DAY.
The near approach of labor's annual
holiday should awaken in the breast of
every true union man sentiments of pa
triotism and loyalty to his organization.
The observance of 1t should be unani-
nous. There should be no loiterers by
the wayside, no sight seers among our
number. The trade unionist who is
above marching with his fellow workmen
on Labor day deserves the severest CEN
sure, and his refusal to do so without
reasonable excuse should be looked upon
as an act of hostility by all who have
faith and hope in better time coming
for honest toll 1t is the Labor day par
-ade which demonstrates our enthusiasm
or our apathy, our strength or our weak
ness. 1t is an advertisement to our or
ganizations, and should be the means, If
prompt action is taken by organizers of
