 From now until after the produc- I ton of "The Professors Courtship'' at Polls theater on the evenings of April 21 and p, there will be great activity among the unionists in disposing of tickets for the same.

 Union men should see that the union label Is on all goods purchased, else they are not consistent Look at your hat, coat, shoes, cigars. newspa- pers, etc. and see if all are the pro- ducts of union labor.

Your own organization can succeed only by the assistance of other labor bodies and this is secured by extending your aid to them.
