DEMAND THE UNION LABEL.

Why should all men support union
labor and the union label? For thou
sands of years, in one form or another,
there has been fought the unequal con-
test Of the workers for an increas ed
proportion of the wealth they produced.
Today all over the world organized la
Dor is making the same fight. The un-
ion label is simply the guarantee that
the goods you buy have been produced
by union men. And that means that
the workers have more decent condi-
tons. 1t means a shorter Workday.
1T means better wages. 1t means that
you are not buying the products of the
sweatshops or child labor. The trade
union movement is one of the chief
emancipating factors in the labor move
ment of the world. Demanding union
made goods means that we are aid
ing the working class-our classic re-
ceive a larger proportion of the wealth
they alone create. Demanding the un-
ion label creates no antagonism or i'll
will, and if the union men everywhere
would be true to themselves by de-
manding the union label, thereby Great
ing demand for union-made goods.
the merchants and retail dealers will do
the rest.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1901-03-09

the anthem of trade unionism IS being
echoed by the chorus of voices such as
the world has never before witnessed.
We do not desire to be regarded as a
pessimist, but wish to sound a warning
note. Their is gathering a lowering
cloud on the industrial horizon which
while small as yet, is perceptible to. the
economic student, who is now thought
fully contemplating it's threatening,
ominus growth and bordering over it's
developments and influence among
those who toll. There is every indica-
ton of an approaching depression-not
a panic, but sluggish, congested mar
ket. It is some distance ahead of us
yet, but is coming. Will the organized
workers prepare themselves to with
stand the scourge or will they this time
as in the past, succumb to the influ-
ence of their environment and go down
before the onrush of a falling market?
1t can be prevented-Will it? If the
proper course is pursued by leaders and
the needed support given by those in
the rank and file there is no reason
why a labor organization should dis
intergrate because of falling market.

LABOR AND THE MARKET.

The life of the labor movement, like
that of men and nations, has been one
of variableness-success and failure,
victory and defeat have alternated with
a degree of regularity only interrupted
be. exceptional industrial periods, ex-
IRENE in their character. Organization
has flourished time after time; has
bloomed as the rose, SO to speak, only
to wither and decay when the biting
frosts of industrial depression have
smitten the source of revenue and
dampened the ardor of the workers.
A scrutiniZing retrospective glance
reveals the fact that labor unions have
invariably prospered during the periods
of a rising market, and as certainly de-
clined with the fall thereof. Time and
again have they grown powerful in
strength only to retrograde back to a
state of almost helpless dependence.
Repeatedly have the myriad workers,
fired with enthusiasm inspired by lead
ers, hocked together in innumera BILE
numbers under various state and ma
tional unions in the years gone by; the
chorus of their voices sounding forth
in unison their wishes and demands
proclaiming justice and greater equal
ity-has resounded over hill and dale
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the lakes to the gulf, like the
mighty symphony Of nature. This uni
Versal, harmonious, concerted effort
has moved to action legislature, con-
crosses, men and kings and the COM
mercial world has been made to listen
to the voice Of labor's hosts at inter-
walls during various periods of indus
trial activity in the days of other years
But when the animated hum Of indus
try has abated and the whistles of fac
tory, mill and mine grow irregular, dis
cordant notes Immediately become au-
dible in the universal anthem of work.
ers and with a rapidity, sometimes in
excess of what witnessed during the
constructive period, the song of organ
ization has grown weaker, and still
weaker, until no longer attracted the
attention of the capitalize mariner as
he sailed upon the high seas of COM
mercialism.
Comparatively speaking, organized
labor is at present enjoying an era of
song service. The recent past has per-
haps witnessed the greatest activity
among trades unions in the history OF
the world. In this instance, as in all
others, a rising market has been the
chief incentive to organize and the
greatest agency in promoting organiza-
ton. Unions have sprung up AZ if by
magic throughout the United States,
Canada, England and other foreign
countries within the past three years
and at present are flourishing like the
proverbial green bay tree. Established
unions have witnessed phenomenal
growth during this period, so that now

LABOR PAPERS.

Running a labor paper is thankless
task at best. The Indifference Of many
makes it hard to get paying support
even in cities where unionism is we'll
advanced, but this difficulty can be
overcome by active effort. Some men
do not realize the great help a labor
paper is to the movement even though
it is small in size. In a great majority
Of cases the man who conducts the pa
per is an enthusiast in the cause, and
though they all make mistakes the in
tention is to do the cause of labor the
most good possible. When the indif-
ferent realize the necessity and import
ance of having a paper that will, when
| trouble arises, present the laborers'
side in fair and honest way, they
give their support to the local paper,
| even though not at all times agreeing
with it's management or what it says,
but the "Wreckers' are of an entirely
different stamp. Just as soon as the
labor editor disagrees with them in the
smallest particular they do all they can
to injure him and take support from
his paper.
1t is time that labor paper publishers
insisted upon having justice done them
by the union members. The paper that
is run in the interest of the labor move
ment is entitled to the support Of all
union men, even though it does not al
all times please each individual mem.
| Der.
Were it not for the labor press the
labor movement would not be what il
is today, and any man who tries to in
jure a labor paper is a traitor to the
cause. If you don't agree with the

LABOR MOVEMENT.

In general way, the history of the
so-called labor movement can be said
to have been made in the century just
closed, although previous to that the
need of organization and concerted eff
fort had been felt by the toilers of the
earth in the struggles for sustenance.
But the time had not arrived for per-
feet or effective union, and the little
that was accomplished to bring about
better conditions was done by occas-
ional uprisings of men driven desperate
by hardships. The first attempt Of the
laboring classes to assert what they
