UNION GARMENTS.
Plea for the Union Label on
Clothes,

Philadelphia. July TT is probably no
news t, labor unions that the garment
workers have Il national organization
called tll" United Garment Workers of
America. and that there ar" several
unions in the ir1y. Also. that the United
Garment Workers are maker, of ready
made clothing and that they have Il label.
But there are Il few facts concerning
these hundreds of workers of which we
believe the majority Of people are in
ignorance. Some Of these facts we wish
to present; first, a1 10 the condition; see
ond, as to a way of helping.
The conditions arc such, we believe,
AZ no other working people are subject II
to. In small, unv~n'l!lat"d. crowded, m
sanitary workshops. situated in crowded
dirty streets, sometimes over stables. the
stencil from which pcrmcatns the whole
building, these people work. 'ih"y are
bent over benches, pressing hnlrAs or
sewing tables. with eyes rivitol to the
work, strainng every nerve. for hours
varying from ten to sixteen or eighteen.
One man told us that it was usual
thing fol him to begin work at five in the
morning and work until twelve at ni-ht
when he had plenty to do. And all this
is for what Under the best of condi-
tons an average Weakly war. "r "":,; ;;;5 Is
$3.50 the past year for mon and $500 for
women.
The unions have undertaken to inspect
the shops and they assure the public that
the goods bearing their a!ahcl are made
in sanitary workshops, where the work
ing day is limited to ten hours, and with
a fair rate of wages as wages go. We have
found unions doing good work with respect
to these three things and they are con
tnually charging their field of work as
the men see the results, are encouraged
and join the union The vest makers
are well organized and the coat makers
down town branch is drawing ten or
twelve men weekly. blight wholesale
dealers III ready-made clothing in Phila-
delphia have adopted the label
What has Philadelphia done to increase
the demand for the label? SO far as we
are able to find out nothing. The eight
wholesale firms have adopted the label
solely through the pressure of customers
outside of Philadelphia. We have been
to several Of the large retail stores and
asked for goods bearing the latcl and
have been told, that thy have nothing Of
the sort and are almost never asked for
them. y, ~
Now we all know tha: the demand for
clothing by tho labor unions in this city
Is imRlcnse Why isn't the duAland made

THE TALE OF \ SHIRT.

\ prominent physician. who has an
office in 4 downtown Skyscraper.
bought early this spring supply o;
gorgeous ncgligee shirts one Of the
new garments which he had made at g
cost of $3.50 each was 50 peculiarly
atrocious that he wore il but once.
When he came down to breakfast one
morning with the awful red and
green plaid adornins his manly form
his wife at once gave notice that if he
went downtown with it on she would
Sue for divorce she also warned him
that y view of the shirt would certain
~ b" fatal to his more delicate pa
ticnts. Feeling chastened by this re-
bake. tho doctor took off the night
mare and went down to work in white
linen.
That evening another young dotto"
called 1t the physicians home. and
the subject OF the wonderful shirt wa
mentioned. Finally the garment itasll
was brought down and displayed, ani
the matter Was settled by the ac-
ceptance Of an offer Of % cents for tn
shirt made by The younger physician.
The new owner of the shirt put il on
one day and started to walk down
Clark street on his way to one of the
railroad stations. On the way the
shirt caused 1lnncst a riot among the
eTcitabie denizens Of the Levee. and
the doctor took it off that night for the
last time. A few days later by way
of joke. he sold the now famous gar
ment to young cousin for - cents.
The latter put on the shirt and went
to roof garden. where the piaids and
stripes attracted 50 much more atten-
ZION than the vaudeville performance
that he took his departure before the
