THE UNION L4RE1

The meeting held on Sunday afternoon
for the promotion of the union label bv
the representatives of the several trades
unions Of St Paul is in the interest of q
movement which should receive the high
est public encouragement. 1t has now
come TO be generally recognized that the
attachment of the union label to anv
given article of trade or commerce has a
Significance far greater than as the svm-
Dol Of a trades union. In this day when
20 many products are turned out in sweat
shops and under conditions affecting the
lives Of those who produce them which
are dangerous in themselves, the presence
OF union trade mark makes one thing
manifest. It is that in heconditlons and
circumstances attending the production
Of the article in question there has been
nothing which might in any way prove
deictcrious to the public health

government from the adoption Of such a
plan. Indeed public accountability Is
never complete without 1t. The incum-
bent Of given Office is liable at any
time to vacate his Office either through
death or adverse election results. His
books should in such an event be in such
condition that they could go on being
kept in exactly the same manner even If
every man connected with the particular
office should withdraw at the same time
as the head Of it.
To talk about the need of expert ac-
countants. as Mr.. McCardy did when he
declared his inability to comply with the
requirements of the charter, is simply to
declare that the work involved is not be-
ing done as it should be done. There
should be no need for expert accountants
in any public. office under any conditions
whatever, that is in the sense In which
expert accountants are popularity thought
of. as having an aptitude for undoing
complications in figures which are be-
yond understanding by the ordinary ac-
countant.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-01-08

such as to carry with 1t the conviction
to some considerable extent that it rep
resents what it is put on the market for.
A staple article of goods in the mar
ket always secures q fixed price,
The article which has a union label
attached to it may be staple; but If 1t is
not the fault lies with those under whose
sanction the label is applied.
The great drawback to all undertakings
of organized labor thus far has sprung
from the lack of business ability among
those who have had them in charge. 1t
is of course nto to be expected ordinarl-
" that men brought up to mechanical
callings shall develop the same measure
of business ability which may be looked
for from men engaged in mercantile pur-
suits But there is one instance of sound
business ability among men Of the
trades unions finding highest play, and
being attended by the natural results. 1t
is furnished by the Cigarmakers' union In
connection with what is known in trade
as the blue label The good which the
blue label has wrought both for producer
and consumer is not to be denied. Inc
articles to which it is affixed have
standing in the market which they could
not have secured without the application
Of a high order of ability. In the mani
festation of this ability the blue label
has been a factor of the utmost value 1t
stands the test of well known trade
mark, and those who buy are as assured
of receiving fair value for their money
as they are in the case of well estao-
lished trade mark.
The men of the st. Paul trades unions
will do well to continue their efforts
along the lines laid down in Sundays
meeting. They serve society as well as
themselves AS long as the ordinary
trade union label is made in reality to
stand for what it purports to represent
it will be sought by purchasers without
regard to the interests or the convictions
of those who are engaged in the trades
union movement. It will be a matter of
business pure and simple. The purchaser
rarely needs more than the assurance
that he is not buying pig in poke.
That assurance he has when a given
mark is attached to certain article that
he is familiar with and that his ex--
perence and the experience of the public
generally teach him is superior article
and is being sold at a figure which is
fairly representative of its commercial
worth.
If the labor movement is ever destined
to bring about peacably and without
wrong to other interests the conditions
which every friend of the masses is
anxious to see realized there is no
agency which has thus far been advanced
for the accomplishment of such ends
which promises anything like the success
which must attend upon the promotion
of the union label on principles which
present decent and upright treatment
of the mass of the consumers of COM
modities to which the label is affixed.

Happy New Century, and nodded to

The orchestra Immediately struck UP
"God Save the Queen" and Daniels and
his whole company sang the words Soon
the entire audience joined in, and upon
the completion of the song a big Eng

the words to the same old melody were
sung with a will Then the curtain
fell and everyone seemed to think that
a good thing had happened.

Farm Machinery Trust.

Mankato Daily Review
Another evidence of the great wave
of prosperity that is sweeping over
this country is the recent formation Of
a farm machinery trust, which includes
sixty different firms, manufacturers Of
plows and cultivating machines. The
trust is being formed by c. B. Flint
one of the most successful organizers
in the United States. and it is his plan
to have the deal closed by Jan. 15, so
that the trust can reap the benefits of
the spring trade The capital stock
of the concern is $4,000 900. AS soon
as all plans are perfected the price of
plows will be advanced 10 per cent
and the prices on other machinery to
correspond This will ye good news for
our farmer friends and prosperity spell
binders. The prices on everything used
by the farmer and laboring man are be-
ing continually advanced by these trust
combinations, but we fail to see where
it advances the prices of farm products
or the. laboring mans wages.
