An lnnocuous Trust.

From the Topeka Capitol
 The latest industrial combination is that of the toothpick trust There are six independent factories, and they have combined, their joint output being 100,000,000 toothpicks a day, or more than one toothpick to every man, woman and child in the country. This plainly proves that we are great toothpicking nation, our consumption of toothpicks being something marvel ous. The price has steadily declined until now 1000 toothpicks are sold at wholesale for cents. There is said to be too small profit at that price, and hence the combination. This IS one trust against which there will be no great outcry.

the label is quite on a par with the
bank wrecking Sunday school super

The Independents is not the official

as it views the matter, the label is
properly used only in those papers
and journals which Officially represent
some branch of organized labor. Use
of the label by any other paper is
more or less deception-and The indie

THE UNION LABEL

In a communication to The Indepen-
cent, 10 A. Parker, Louisville, KY,
says:
Have the union label on your
paper. Also keep out communlca-
tons carrying dirty reflections
against earnest workers for the
cause"
AS to the label: The Independent
recognizes the union, is a union shop
and entitled to use the label. Expert
tnce here demonstrates that this label
is used by the enemies of organized
labor to catch votes. Every jackleg
republican candidate who is out after
votes and cares not tinker's male
diction about the laborer, goes
promptly to union print shop and
gets some cards printed. Of course he
wants the label on, life-size. That
makes him a friend" of organized
labor! For a time The Independent
did use the label, believing it meant
something-but the misuse of it by
men who are absolutely hostile to the
interests Of any except the plutocrats
has led The Independent to discard 1t.
Use in the paper.
The independent doesn't need a tas
