4 SERMON on THE UNION LABEL

: A Baltimore clergyman in a recent SER
mon Endorsed the union label in the fol-
lowing eloquent words:
What can be more sacred, more holy
or more deserving of the reverance of
men or the angels than the union label,
which signifies that human life has
been more highly valued in the produc-
ton of human commodities than the
mere profits sought for by greed?'
1.-THE label is an emblem of justice,
of fraternity, of humanity. When you
find a label on a garment or box of
cigars, or a loaf Of bread, or a piece
Of printing, you can be sure that neith-
er was made in a sweat shop, that no
little child's fingers were compelled to
sew, or sort tobacco in the hours of
night intended for childish sleep. When
you see this label on any commodity,
you can buy it with clear conscience,
knowing that in doing so you are not
becoming partner to an institution that
degrades humanity to private profit.
You can sleep soundly, also, and not be
worried with thoughts Of typhus fever,
smallpox or leprosy, which are so often
scattered broadcast from Chinese
opium joints, penitentiary convicts'
cells and tenement sweat shops, where
the most degraded specimens of HUI
manity put their life's blood into mar
ketable goods, from which the poor un-
suspecting public suffers all manner Of
foul and lOthsome diseases.
1.-THE union label is a religious en-
blem. 1t is a religious act to buy goods
to which this label is attached-an act
blessed on earth and honored in heaven
while it is sin to buy, a cigar, a piece
of clothing, a pair Of shoes, or loaf of
bread, without this label, for then you
do not know but what you are building
up the business of some heartless ty-
rant, who is extracting fortune from
the drudgery and degradation of his
fellows, at the risk of public health.
God bless the label! And I hope
that all of you, as you leave this house
tonight, will carry indelibly impressed
upon your minds the picture of the un-
ion label, surrounded by angels, and
that you will always know that the
favorite banner in heaven presents
justice to labor, fresh air and sunshine,
and healthful condition to those who
toll, and the truth that human life is
Of gold.''

reason and for no reason. If two can
quit, twenty can, and so can two thous-
and. No one, engaged in business can
claim a right to customers. They be-
long to the firm only during their own
good pleasure. Were this not so, every
business man could claim for all the
time those who once patronized him.
To withhold patronage is therefore
right, and to tell why it is withheld is
also a right. From this it is perfectly
logical de duction that we can say on
what condition we will resume, and we
can MAKE, that condition what we will.
Trade unions and other users of the
boycott need never speak of it in an
apologetic tone, for none of the means
they USE is as clearly defensible as this
one.
The ethical side being established, we
can now consider it's practical applica-
ton. Here it's peculiar advantage is
seen, when compared with other weap-
ons. 1t is self acting and can bring
about certain results. When the result
are attained, it Immediately ceases.
The boycott should never be hastily
or tn oughtlessly used. It's effectiveness
depends largely on the care with which
it is brought into play. If used I'M
wisely, it is boomerang that will in
j'ure the boycotter more than the boy
ottee; in fact, it may rebound to the
positive advantage of the latter. It
therefore, carries within itself the pen
9lty for it's unwise use. This will tend
O make those using it very careful and
discourage all attempts to use it for
amy but the best of reasons. Its effec-
tiveness, however, when it is used will
make all antisocial people sufficiently
afraid of it so that it will have to be
brought into play less and less often.
There are many evils today which
Legislation has tried to reach again and
again, but in vain, and which a good
boycott effectively pushed, would have
put an end to.
The prejudice against the boycott has
been kept alive by capitalistic writer's,
because they know full we'll what dis
,astrous results it could be used against
them. Hardly thing said or done by
labor people seems in such bad odor,
yet the method is so valuable, so fruit
full of results, so easily and cheaply put
into operation. It is labors greatest

TO RETAIL CLERKS.

The meeting Of the Trades Assembly
last Monday evening ought to be pro-
ductive Of good results. The Assembly
did right in refusing to condemn any
firm in particular for keeping open on
Christmas forenoon. The resolutions
that were adopted state plainly the
Trades Assembly's attitude on the mat
ter 1t does not blame the stores so
much as the people who patronize them
on such days. 1t calls upon the clerks
to organize into trades unions and
when they are sufficiently strong they
VIII be in position to demand special
compensation for extra labor The
Wage-earner of most organized trades
secure either time and one-half or
double pay for working over time, Sun
days or holidays. The result of this
is that there is very little overtime
put in, except in cases Of necessity. The
clerks of the city ought to now know
who their friends are.
Through the efforts of the Trades
Assembly almost every store in the CITY
has been induced to close on such hoi-
days as Labor Day, Fourth of july and
Christmas.
A few years ago, by systematic
campaign, the trades unions of Duluth
secured the early closing of the stores,
SO that the employees might have a
few hours for recreation after each
days work.
Have not these efforts of organized
labor proven who are the friends of
those who work behind the counter ?
What then is the duty of every clerk
in the city? They can not rely on or
gained labor to always fight their bat
ties. They must do something for
themselves. The old saying "he who
would be free must strike the blow, .
is applicable to the clerks WeEwould
advise all of the clerks of the city to
put in their application for member
ship at the next regular meeting of
the Retail Clerks union.
There Is where you belong, unless you
are too proud to mingle with other
working people. The Trades Assembly
offers you homage and promises you
perfection. ,@s ,... ..z,

When a minister of the gospel de-
tends his creed and urges for his par
ticular denomina ton, every one &C.
knowledges that he does that which he
should. When a lawyer defends his
client, he is forgiven if he does make it
warm for his opponent. But the bust
ness agent Of the labor union who
holds relatively the same position to
the union that the minister does to his
church, and the lawyer to his client
has no right to step on the corns of the
opponent Of the union, and if he does
it is looked upon as personal matter
and never forgiven. ...

from demanding and insisting upon
the demand for union-made goods.
3. 1t is scientific. Supply is based
upon demand, and every consumer who
Is made convert to union labelism
becomes the most potent kind Of an
argument with employers of labor to
run union shop.
8. 1t is fraternal. How can a man
who processes the fraternal doctrine Of
unlon1sm, consistently punch his BROTH

cessful business firms of today are
those who advertise most extensively.

teach 1000 men to demand union pro-
ducts than to pay strike benefits to ten
men,.
3. It works injustice to no one. 1t is
in every way equitable that fair pro-
ducts should be used by fair men.
4. It is peaceful and Within the law.
