THE UNION LABEL.
What 1t Is, and Some of the Things

What 1t Is, and Some of the Thing.
1t Stands For,
1t is business-like. The most success
full business firms of today are those
who advertise most extensively.
1t is economical. It is cheaper to
teach LOCO men to demand union pro-
ducts than it is to pay strike benefits
to ten men.
1t works injustice to no one It is in
every sense equitable that fair pro-
ducts should be used by fair men.
1t is peaceful and within the law. No
injunction can prevent unionists from
demanding and insisting upon the de-
mand union-made goods.
1t Is scientific. Supply is based up
on demand, and every consumer who
Is made convert to union labelism be-
comes the most potent kind of an ar
gument with employers of labor to run
a union shop.
It is fraternal. How can a man who
processes the fraternal doctrine of I'M
1on1sm consistently punch his brother
In the eye by buying non-union goods ?
Demand the label.

lockout agreement on the part Of a
number of manufacturers, it would
have been logical and proper for them
to point to labor's assertion of the right
to strike in concert and to use a line of
argument similar to that quoted above.
But the cases under their considera-
ton involved blacklisting, not the lock-
ing out of men. It Is a fallacy to COM
pare b1acklisting to a strike, yet the
judges deliberately substituted the fall
lacy and avoided any reference to the
boycott.
The newspapers, in approving the
Baker-Waterman opinions, prated
about the right to strike. They careful
~ refrained from any expression hint
ing that the decisions logically involved
the definite recognition Of the right to
boycott. Can there be any doubt, from
the standpoint of the Chicago decisions,
as to the legitimacy of the boycott?
Consider the sylogism upon which they
rest:
1. A man may refuse employment
to another, even If his intent in doing
so be malicious.
2. What men may do individually
they may do in concert and as a COM
bination.
3. Hence employers may agree to
keep certain men out of work and
wages; that is, maintain blacklist.
Now apply this reasoning to boycott
ing:
l. A man may refuse to patronize or
buy goods from another.
2. Men may do in concert what they
do severally-they may agree to carry
OUT as a purpose, what each Of them
may carry out individually. -.-.- l r.- =
3. Hence workmen Cor other citfzens)
may organize boycott against any
manufacturer or merchant, or against
any number Of manufacturers and mer-
chants, who may have incurred their
displeasure.
Is there anything wrong with this
syllogism? Does not the conclusion
follow from the premises as unaviod-
ably as the Baker-Waterman conclu-
sion follows from their premises? All
the sophists and scribes of plutocracy
may be challenged to discover flaw in
it. They will fail after any amount Of
wriggling, shutting and pettifogging
Meantime the lesson of the decisions
to ORGANIZED labor is two fold. The
right to boycott certain products and
certain establishments must be reso-
lutely defended and vigorously asserted.
The employers will not only continue
to use blacklisting, but are likely to
secure further approval thereof by the
courts.
Organized and federated labor must
not place too much reliance on courts
and legislatures, but rather seek
strength in union and solidarity. It
must make opposition to it's reasonable
demands economically impossible. It
must teach employers that peace with
honor" above all, is expedient and pro-
fitable in their relations with their
workmen.-Victor Yarros

dependent and separate blacklists. AS
already pointed out. no, argument ac-
cOmpanied this announcement.
Judge Waterman, however, in a case
exactly like that decided by his col
league, rendered an opinion only two
or three weeks later in which the same
legal conclusion was reached and in a
measure defended. This second opin-
ion, and reason upon which it is based,
is worthy Of consideration.
1T Is now the undisputed right of
every man." says Judge Waterman, "to
determine upon what terms he will
work, and no inquiry can be made into
the motives which induce him to refuse
over, the fact that the refusal to work
Is in pursuance Of combination does
not alter his rights in the case"
This is true, and 1t makes a good be-
ginning. His honor goes on to say that
employers have rights similar to those
Of the workingmen; that they are not
obliged to employ anyone who is OBJ
noxious to them, and that it is not I'M
lawful for them to act in concert for the
HOS~ ~
number Of persons from their work.
shops.
The existence Of an intent to injure,
even of a malicious intent, is immater-
ial, for the law regards acts, not mo-
tives, and ii an act be legitimate, it is
not regarded illegitimate by a malic-
ious or morally wrong intent.
Judge Waterman adds to this by way
Of amplifcation: 1.-THE consequences Of
a refusal to employ any man may be
deleterious and pitiful; so the conse-
quences of refusing to work for anoth-
or may be disastrous and ruinous, but
the fact that one refuses to employ an
other because he wishes to see him
come to want, or that man refuses to
work for another because he wishes to
see his business broken up and him
thrown into bankruptcy, does not give
a cause of action"
There is something strange, anomal-
Gus, suspicious in these Bakery
man opinions. They are characterized
by an omission that they can not be re.
garded as accidental. They justify
blacklisting, but contain not a syllable
in favor of the correlative right of la
Dor to use the boycott. While the boy
colt is by no means the direct anti
thesis of the blacklist it comes nearer
afrording a parallel than any other
practice.
The Chicago judges err seriously in
assuming that the strike is the counter
part Of the blacklist. It is nothing Of
the kind. The real counterpart Of the
strike is the lockout, and vice versa.
Just as workmen, from whatever mo-
tive, refuse to continue In a mans en-
ploy, so may an employer lock out his
workmen for any reason or from any
motive. He may close his shop or fill
it with new men. Or he has legal
grievance against him If he does either.
If the Chicago judges had been called
upon to rule as to the lawfulness Of a.

HELD TO RIDlCUlE
THE RECENT DECISIONS on BLACK
LISTING DISCUSSED.
Judicial Sophistry or WOrse-Judge
ion-It Contained but Two Asser-
lions and q COnclusion-So Import
ant Question is a Record Break
er For Its Brevity.

Two decisions recently rendered in
the Superior Court of Chicago on
''blackhst" cases have attracted nation
as the writer knows, the first member
of any American bench to uphold the
legality Of the operation known as
blacklsting.
Considering the Importance, not TO
say gravity, of the issue in the case be-
fore him, it might seem that it was his
duty to bestow anxious care upon the
principles involved and to fortify his
ruling by an elaborate, searching and
exhaustive opinion. But, as a matter
of fact, the opinion was record-break-
ing IN its brevity. It, did not exceed
thirty newspaper lines, and contained
tions and conclusion.
The case was that of a girl who had
been employed in a Chicago packing
house. earning from $12 to SIG a week.
She had been guilty of participating in
strike and had been discharged.
Her skill and proficiency wauld easily
have enabled her to find work in an
other packing house, but the various
firms in this trade have agreed to main
tain a blacklist and to refuse employ
ment to anyone who had in any way
whatever made himself or herself OBJ
jectionable to any one of the combined
blacklisters.
The effect of this arrangement was
that the plaintiff could not obtain a
place in any Chicago packing house
and was obliged to accept job at 81
or SO a week at new trade.
On her behalf it was contened that
the blacklist agreement was an unlaw-
full conspiracy to injure; that there was
malicious intent to inflict injury by
means of the agreement and that it
actually did result in great and lasting
injury to the plaintiff, by taking from
her the means of livelihood.
But Judge Baker sustained the de-
PENDANTS demurrer to the complaint
and held that the girls rights had not
been infringed upon, and that the pack
ing firm had not exceeded it's legal
rights in blacklisting her and In induc-
ing other firms to treat her in the same
manner.
What one firm had the right to do all
firms might lawfully do, hence, conclud-
ed Judge Baker, the concerted blacklist
was as legal as would be several in
