LABOR BAZAAR
 AT THE CARNIVAL.

A suggestion that has been made, if
 carried out, will be a most interesting feature of the carnival planned under the auspices of organized labor. It Is a Union Label Bazaar, the object of which will be to educate the public in the union label and it's many uses, and to bring to the attention of the public some of the lead ing brands of goods that bear the little emblem of fairness. The possibilities the suggestion opens up seems limitless, as there is probably not a greater factor in the commercial world today than the union label. Most trades unionists are familiar with most of the union labels and understand the underlying principles, but the general public are uninformed and grope considerable In the dark, and this, added to misleading statements made by interruptions dealers, leaves hazy and often disagreeable impression. It will be a great educational opportunity and of great interest to those who visit the carnival
 The committee on union labels of the Alabama State Federation of Labor sub mitted the following report that will be read with inte
 "We find in Selma many of the Trade Union labels on goods sold by the mer- chants. We also find considerable agita- tion has been done here with the above result
 "As to the state at large the label is being more generally demanded than ever before with very flattering results. A number of overall manufacturers have called upon the organizer to organize the employees, signing contracts in accord ance with the United Garment Workers law. In Birmingham there are more union made goods sold than non-union. Such as clothing, hats, shoes, bread, cigars. to- bacco, meats, beer and whisky. and in

COMMITTEE ON
 POLITICAL ACTION.
CONDUCTED BY 5. W. BRUMLGY

The committee on political action ap- pointed by the Birmingham Trades Coun- cil will meet this morning at 10 o'clock at Briclklayers Hall to consider plans for the campaign to be made. They will dis cuss the application of the platform of was adopted for their guidance to city county and state conditions. The follow ing resolution adopted by the State Fed eration of Labor will be brought to their attention and their support asked:
 Whereas, It Is one of the leading de- mands of organized labor that laws be enacted to prevent child labor In the fac tories, shops and mines below a proper age, which should not be less than 14 years, and as the needed legislation can not be secured only through the Legisla- ture, and that another Legislature is soon to be selected, therefore be 1t
 Resolved. That the Alabama State Fed eration of Labor endorses the enactment of a good and sufficient child labor law and compulsory education law, and to this end that we urge all organized la bor and friends of the toiling children who are growing up in slavery and ig- norance not to support any man for a member of the Legislature who will not pledge himself to support these measures first and last and all time while in this office.

He knows that, and is liable to m ake no such mistake. We have all been with him day and night and have noticed that if he has a great fault it is that of self-deprecation in his replies to the eulogistic speeches that are made about him. He calls his guests the Superior persons" who deserve the compliments. He disavows any prime or great respon- sibility for the growth of the cause. And he always chaffs and jokes about him. self. becoming grave only when speak ing of his brilliant companions and the great work they have in hand.

 Talcott Williams, in his stirring and eloquO ..t address of thanks to MT. Ogden just before the party broke up. said that our host had performed something like magic in causing our party to be joined dlil WelCOLitu ny pdI Ol SONeT- nors of southern states to say nothing of the many superintendents of public in struction, politicians and professors who had thrown themselves into our move ment. It required a high order of states manship to do this, and as Dr. Felix Adler said in one of his masterly speech es, 1t was a healthy and hopeful sign of strength in the republic when non-offi- cial persons like MT. Ogden took upon themselves extra-official duties and led the people in great movements for the betterment of the republic.
 Dr. Williams said that there are three millions of white Americans of the very best stock who cannot read or write, and he added that even while he was speak iZg some woman among them had re- turned from the valley of the shadow of death bearing in her arms a baby of the purest, oldest American stock that would be brought up with no school or teacher in its neighborhood In ignorance and neglect. To interest the North and South in remedying such evils was the task MT. Ogden had set for himself
 I move an amendment to Dr. Buttrick's resolution that we would rather be Rob- ert c. Ogden than anybody else. That is a futile declaration. I prefer the more practical advice of the Belle of New York" and move that we say of him what she said of herself: If we cannot all be like him let us be "as like him as We can.'

MEETING OF
 GEORGIA FEDERATION.

The fourth annual convention of the Georgia State Federation of Labor will meet in Savannah Wednesday, June IS, at 10 o'clock. The calls for the convention have been out some time and are signed by c. c. Hust on, secretary-treasurer, and William G. Gredig, president. In its decla- ration of principles the federation says:
 "d) To agitate such questions as may be for the benefit of the working classes and mankind generally. ih order to ob- tain legislative enactment of such meas ures as will be beneficial to us, and the repeal of oppressive and unjust laws. @ To use all honorable means to correct the abuses under which the wage-earners are now laboring, and to secure for them their just rights and privileges. (S) To aid in the organization and establishment of local trades and labor assemblies in every city and town in the state. (D To promote the cause and general welfare of all or ganiZed labor by a more syst ematic and universal use of the union label; and to give moral and financial support to such firms and factories as recognize the label and its merits"

fact almost everything manufactured with the label can be had Shop cards are found in barber shops, hotels and restaurants, stores, etc. All of which IS the result of the demand for said labels and cards
 For the benefit of some who are not fully advised, we desire to say that there are now fifty-seven registered union la bels in use on different products manu- factured and sold in the United States, and the demand for same by trade union ists has proven one of the strongest weapons ever adopted to further our cause.
 We respectfully recommend that the delegates to the convention report to their respective locals the importance Of calling for the label on purchases, so that we may further increase the supply and demand of union goods. We further recommend that all printed matter, news papers, etc., bear the label recognized by the International Typographical Union We wish to report that Federal Labor Union 969O has adopted a label for the cement workers. which is the first label of it's kind known to have been used in the United States

Lacking the wit or wisdom of experienced years, I dropped my eyes without further recognition than rapid paling and flushing of countenance, and he followed my lead began discussing the menu with his wife.
 "The dinner proceeded in such appall- ing silence, so far as 1 was concerned, as to fairly paralyze my husband, and explanations were in order as soon as we returned to our apartments. Then how he laughed and went in search of the rival couple, only to find they had left the hotel immediately after the meal, and we have never heard of either of them since"

A BAD HALF-HoUR.

 She is very pretty, and no one wonders that her husband is much in love with her unto this day. but she tells this story of a bad half hour on her wedding jour ney:

spread his fame-a shrewd advertisement "a costly ministratlon to his vanity? The reader replies that he does not know, but that he suspects the work of de- stroying illiteracy in the South could be accomplished without 1t. Certainly" says the reader, the general education board could hold a conference in a diff ferent Southern center every year with out all its Northern members going to it in a palace train of eight coaches, with a continuous service of meals and re- treatments and the comforts and con veniences with which only a king, who needs not to heed expense, surrounds himself and court"
 It is well to discuss this question open ly and plainly and to hear what some may say who are as skeptical as old Montaigne.
 I was a member of the Ogden party, but am free to tell the truth, as I did even about the Boer war, and I agree with the reader who says that this an- nual excursion is unnecessary. I agree to that statement, but I do not go any further and account for this perform ance of MT. Ogden's as in any way or degree a humoring of his self-esteem.
 I declare this kinglike yachting trip to have been wholly unnecessary and yet see in it nothing short of masterly states manship. The annual conference could have been held without 1t and we could help the South to help its illiterate if every man in the work went South in an ordinary passenger coach and sat up in his seat at night instead of going to bed Yet, on the other hand, if MT. Ogden gave to the cause quarter of a million of dollars a year and bankrupted him. self in three years, he could not do as much toward sending light into dark places as he does by spending ten thou sands of dollars a year on this excur- sion.
 Upon this excursion MT. Ogden invites all whom he wishes to interest in what is nearest to his heart. Thus he brings

ROBERT C, OGDEN,

Julian Ralph in the New York Mail and
 Express.
 I would rather be Robert c. Ogden than any other man on the footstool of God."
 So spoke the Rev. Wallace Buttrick D. D., of the general education board, at one of the meetings of the Ogden party ern states. That is unbridled language; the utterance of an enthusiast and sen- tim entalist rather than of a practical hard-headed man of the common temper. Yet the audience who heard this utter ance applauded 1t heartily. The audience was partly composed of warm-hearted Southern folks who had clear idea of the Ogden purpose but very shadowy mo- tions of how 1t was being carried out. It was also partly composed of sixty or seventy of us who knew MT. Ogden well, who lived and travelled with him and saw him all of every day. Yet we all applauded Dr. Buttricks red-hot boast as heartily as ' did the comparative strangers
 I cannot express in any better way the depth of the good impression which Mir. Ogden makes upon friends and strangers alike. Montaigne said he expected that even Plato was not wholly confident of his own purity. and perhaps MT. ogden hears some jarring sound of human mixture in his soul, but to us all he seemed a thoroughly good. unselfish, mo- ble nan. well fitted to head war against ignorance which may yet become the greatest force and produce the greatest revolution which America will have known.
 And now I want to ask the reader what Is this annual excursion which MT. Ogden leads into the South? Is if arranged to

That "Blood Wine" fully comes up to
the expectations of our people is evil
denced by the expression of satisfaction
from the many who have already given it
test. ''1f had to 90 without some of
the necessities of life, would have Blood
Wine in the house," said certain gen.
tleman living in the northern part of the
city. 1t wards off coughs, colds, indi-
gestion, bowel troubles and dozen and
one other diseases that are apt to attack
anyone. "A bottle of good medicine al
ways handy is the stitch in time that
saves suffering and misery; and this is
just the kind of medicine that will do
it, To begin away down at the roots of
any sickness, what is the first step to be
taken? Purify the blood,'' is the answer
from every physician. Regulate the
bowels and purify the blood. Microbes,
Bacteria, Baccilli and all kinds of germs
float through the system in the blood
SJust stopand reason it out; think of
your blood teeming with these myriads
of little demons, floating hither and
thither like wreckage on a great ocean,
to be cast up against the delicate organs
OF the system here they find lodging
places, stay, thrive and breed, perhaps in
the lungs, perhaps in The throat, kidneys,
heart or tender tissues of the body
anywhere. This is the beginning of
trouble. Cleanse your blood and you
purity the whole system.
With pure blood and a good circu-
lation no one ever contracted consump-
ton or other fatal disease. "Blood
Wine'' gives new life because it makes
new blood. 1t brings rest and quiet be-
cause it soothes the nerves; it creates
good appetite by toning up the digestive
organs; it regulates the system by pro-
ducing healthy, regular operations of
the bowels. 1t kills that tired feeling
and makes one feel like running, jump
ing and exercising; it gives elasticity to
the body by acting directly on the mus
cles and causing them to respond to the
minds dictates. One teaspoonful of
"Blood Wine'' makes the blood Jingle; it
is instantaneous in its action and leaves
no room for doubt. 1t contains no wine
or opiates.
BLOOD Wine'' costs fifty cents bottle,
but you can sample it free of charge at
