addressed in their homes by members
of the c. A. 1. l.. and the condition
Of those who made their highpriced
garments explained at length The re-
suit was that energetic steps were
taken by the society leaders to aid
their less fortunate sisters by requir-
ing the presence Of the union label on
all goods manufactured for them. The
idea took hold. A lady organizer is
kept in the field by the Episcopal
Church. Every attempt is made to
smooth over labor difficulties and ad-
wise for the general good. The trade
union has proved a valuable ally for
the protection of the women who work
1t is antagouistic to the influences that
mar human life in our large cities
And the society women are not paying
more for their garments. If some
other panacea will do for these work
ers what the union label has, let US
hear of it.
A subject of controversy is the or
ganizipg OF unskiIled occupations.
Many men admit that skilled labor has
always had the union in some form and
are not adverse to the idea, but objec-
ton is raised to those without trades
combining. When pressed for reasons
the replies verge on the vague. Grant
ing that the sudden injection of this
class OF labor into industrial disputes
is not unattended by problems, owing
TO lack OF experience and new-fOund
power, yet the teamster has exactly the
same right TO organize as the master
drayman. In this city we find his
hours, wages and general conditions
greatly improved. The same could be
said of other lines of business. The
employer has his union The employe
has his
One Of the most important agencies
In making the trade union a civilizing
factor is the union label. 1t is becom
ing the custom to hire purchasable men
TO combat its influence, to circulate
printed matter describing IL as a
badge of servitude," and TO generally
predict desolation should its power in
crease. The superiority Of non-union
over union ethics is not apparent to
those who have worked under both sys-
TENS as wage earners. The union label
first stood for American labor in
America, as opposed to Asiatic. 1t still
does. It shows that the producer par
ticipated in the work Of preparing the
finished article under conditions that
were sanitary and fair and that he
was paid living wage for his labor.
What reasonable objection can there
be TO the use OF a label standing for
such a type OF citizenship Surely any
arbitrary action on the part of some
good ground for destroying the potency
OF an emblem that has the support OF
reform agencies. We are criticized be-

of justice is toward a higher plane.
The man who slugs is less an enemy
Of the republic than the man who
places iron in a life preserver, for his
enmity to the true conception of union
ism is both crude and repulsive. One

the country states that all the crimes

The majority of men are honest A
larger conception of the varied inter-
ests making uD the whole of the ever
present industrial controversy is need

principles. Certainly no policy of ex
termination under the guise of Ameri-
canism will have lasting effect The
unions may be weakened, but they will
certainly gain strength afterward. for

The trade union has an educative in

were elevated in every way by the
revelation of their miserable condition
before organizing. The opportunities
for public speaking are many. A man

we will admit that the union label

the case. The label is the silent fac
tor in settling industrial troubles.

manufactured under known condi-
ttons IN preference to those produced
under circumstances unknown The
selfish man argues that so long as
the article is satisfactory no ef-
fort should be made to penetrate into

unto others as we would be done by
all good doctrines and true, but
equally as applicable to Mondays pur-
chase as II IS to Sundays prayer. The
union label is like all other human
devised methods-not perfect-but il
needs to be superseded By a better
plan before the thinking citizen
would care to see it abandoned.
The trade union enables the fair en-
ployer-who. ike the fair unionist, pre-
dominates-to estimate his labor on
living basis. This system is a good
deal preferable to figuring on what his
unfair competitor can procure his
cheapest help for. Not only that, but

The trade union Is not hawless by

THREE HOUSES
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Two houses were burned to the
ground and third practically ruined
by fire on South street, below Wood
land avenue at 10 O'Clock Friday morn
ing. The fire started in the house
owned by John Clark the one nearest
town. Mrs. Clark says she was sweep
ing the front piazza when her atten-
tion was drawn by smoke and she
found the floor hot. The whole house
was in blaze before anything could
be saved.
The flames then communicated to
Kate Cleary's house occupied by Jas.
Pendergast. A few things were saved
before this house was burned.
The last house to catch was owned
by Michael Holly and occupied by John
O'Brien. The arrival of part of the
fire department. saved this house from
complete destruction. The loss will
aggregate about $700.
The houses and contents were gener-
ally insured.
Chief Fox sent the chemical engine,
truck, and Washington hose carriage
to the scene, but the fire burned so
fiercely that by the time they arrived
the buildings were devoured. They
were outside the corporation limits.

Nearly every wife feels that her
husband works too hard, and
worries because he will not take
the rest she knows he needs. She

is at night and how his sleep fails

business is killing him-but she
also knows that he will stick to
his work just as long as he is
able to stand.

ton, if she could only get him
away from business for a few
