CLERKS AND THE LABEL.
Where Retail Clerks Union Are Strong
est Stores Are Well Stocked With
Union Made Goods.

1.-The Retail Clerks international
Protective Association claims as an
organization that it is Of the greatest
help to organized labor in general, and
is entitled to the full support of all
trade unionists, and the, best and the
most practi cable way in extending that
support is by compelling the clerk to
always show his card when a - pur-
chase Is being made.

caused this? e..
! The Retail Clerks Union have ed
Rucated organized labor and their fam
lilies, when making a purchase, to call
for "a union clerk with his paid-up
working card. When the wife, daugh-
ter or sister OF a union man asks for
a union clerk they know she wants
union made goods If possible Inc
coniJequence is there springs a:up a
demand for union made goods. <lt all
members Of organized labor and their
families when making purchase,
would do this it would drive a good
manv of the non-union mills out OF
business, and there would be plenty of
work for union men at union wages.
"As good many union people get the
idea that because an article IS union
made it must be higher. This is
wrong impression. Sometimes an ar
ticle union made costs the firm a few
cents more, but it is retailed at the
same price as non-union goods.
"worth for worth, they are just as
cheap. Shoddy goods are dear at any
price. Always seek for union clerks
with paid-up working cards and goods
bearing the union label."-Retail Clerks

everywhere In principle, but seldom
needed in practice.
The judge has only applied common
sense in Interpretation OF the law. Per-
haps few judges take the trouble to do
it.. But it is worth while.
The boy against whom the evidence
seemed conclusive, but in his extremi-
ty thought first of his mothers sorrow,
has good stuff in him. In sending him
back home with that mother the Judge
sent him to the best reformatory in the
world.
Such a boy may yield to temptations.
Bad companionship may lead him into
trouble. He may commit crimes and
the evidence against him be conclusive
But so long as the love of mother re-
mains his strongest emotional force
there can be little pollution in his heart
and must be much hope for his COM
plete redemption. ~

WHAT LABOR RECEIVES.

Prof. Robert F.. Ely, the secretary of
the League Of Political Education, has
been making some scientific examina-
tions into the earnings of workers,
an presents some conclusions, which
a'e necessarily much condensed. It
+ proper to note that Mr.. Ely's figures
are drawn from the federal census:
The wage earners of the United
States number fifteen million men,
women, boys and girls of ten years
or over. Their average individual
earnings are $400 a year, but on an
average two persons are dependent
upon each wage Garner for support,
which means that three people must
live on that average monthly wage
of s33.33 Investigation has shown
that about a quarter Of working
mans wages goes for rent and about
half in food and fuel.
Thus the average workingman, with
his family Of two, will have left each
month after paying for the roof over
his head and the food needful to sus-
tain life about $3.50 month for cloth
ing, medicine, recreation and bank
account against rainy day or the
time when we shall become superan-
nuated. Professor Ely very naturally
says in the face of these figures that
the terms of our economic problem
can not be solved by thrift alone.'
And indeed the poorest encourage
ment to thrift is the knowledge that
}the utmost pinching economy fol
t1ears the savings of family will be
Una deuuate to meet the needs of six
months of idleness or two months OF
,cdstly sickness.-Ex. = 49,

Tobacco Trust. Judging from the
signs Of the times, the trust will use
all its power with the next congress
to reduce the duty on imported cigars:
and by this method destroy the indus
try in this country and also the Cigar,
makers union.
Under this great gigantic trust sys-
tenn In the City of New York alone
the trust employs more than 5000 per-
sons. Twenty per cent Of this strug-
Cling mass is not over sixteen years
old, and the other eighty per cent con-
sists Of children ranging from eight
years up. No one can describe the
dreadful and shameful conditions un-
der which these children work. One
has to go through the tenement dis
trict of New York to see thousands Of
poor people unable to better their con-
dltion, who are compelled to work for
any wage the American Tobacco Trust
may be pleased to offer. At first
thought one would establish work.
shops where poor people might be en-
ployed but it is ashamed to let the
world know of the conditions under
which the cigars are made. These

fined to the cigarmaking industry. Sta
'tistics show that fully thirty per cent
of these tenement house workers die
from lung disease or go insane before
they reach the age Of 21 years.
ALI kinds of remedies are offered
to break up this mighty combination
of capital which is enslaving the ris-
ing generation, but from the viewpoint
of a trades unionists, there is inde-
pendence to feel that they could stand
alone in the field of honest compe-
titiOn.

The: International Cigarmakers' I'm

American Tobacco Trust3to control the
trades Of the country sand to DESTROY
the union: This trust mas been in ex-

only recently that: it has gone into the
cigar business. and it's first move was
to buy up all the rawsleaf in the Uni
ted States and Cuba. Here they found
opposition in*the independent leaf
dealers who own large tobacco PLAN
tations in Cuba. Ohio, Connecticut,
Florida and Pennsylvania. This prop
erty was not for sale at any price, and
after spending millions the trust was
forced to give the matter up. It's next
step was to get control of the cigar
factories In this the trust has sue
ceeded to some extent, especially in the
south. We will. take the city Of Ha-
vana for example. There never was
more contented class of trades un-
ionists in the world than%th cigarma-
kers Of that city. They received the
highest wages possible for their labor
and came to- work and quit when they
pleased. In fact, it was more like cne
great family, with the proprietors as
the fathers of the m dustry.
But what IA change there has been
since the. american Tobacco trust got
control Of the industry. Most of the
large cigar rnanufa cturers became in
volved in the Cuban revolution and
were forced to sell to. these robbers
at their own price. Where there was

That's about what the Swift agents

cessities and comforts, so that they
might become great capitalists.
A hundred thousand dollars invested

barrels enough money to keep body and
soul together, and the children were de-

One hundred thousand dollars repre-
sent a world Of self denial, scraping
and saving for poorly-paid clerks and

the corner.
But it's the price paid for a brief
period of >self-adulatiopp = and capitalistic
imitation.

a plutocratic mind, who strenuously
upholds his masters system, must have
the experience and gets it with a ven-

or not, it is certain that fishing has

men who are always moving, always
striving to better their business, and in
so doing benefit their patrons. No bus.
mess firm is more wide-a. wake than
Chftons, the big dry goods firm. They
hustle for patronage; they undoubtedly
enjoy an enormous trade. and they know
how to please their patrons and retain
their trade.
The Cliftons announce in this issue
their Great Loom End Sale" which
begins Saturday, April 4th, and contin-
ues until Saturday night April 18th.
We don't profess to be dry goods men,
but we know a good thing when We see
it, and there is no doubt that in this big
sale are offered great bargains, unheard
OF bargains. Everybody knows that the
Cliitons are reliable and stand by all
they say, and it is safe to predict that
the big store will be the busiest place in
town during the next two weeks.
