The Wageworker is in receipt of
the following letter, to which the
close attention of it's readers is called
1t is written on the official letterhead
of the Omaha Union Label and
and Home Industry League" and tells
story that is interesting and profit
able:
Omaha, Neb., July 1S.-To the Edi-
tor of The Wageworker: Omaha
unions have adopted a plan which 1
would like to call especially to your
attention. plan to boost the sale
of the products of union men.
Now, the old way has been to boy
colt the unfair and say nothing about
the fair product in a practical way.
1t is a we'll known fact that union
men do not patronize the label goods.
There must be reason for this, and
from little Sherlock Holmes
work. we think we have found the
reason. From inquiries from union
men and women we find they will
not ask for the union label, and par
ticularly the women. A few enthu-
siasts will, of course, but the majority
do not and will not. If they did con-
ditions would be different.
We have organized a Union Label
and Home Industry League with five
delegates from each union. Some sew
enteen unions have been visited by
our organization committee SO far,
and practically all have sent dele
gates and are dead stuck" on the
proposition. Each union pays dues
of 81 per month to the League. We
have decided to use the Western La
borer and it has been made the Off
cial organ. We buy advertising space
to publish the directory in, and the
plan is to try to get all unions to sub
scribe in body for the Laborer.
The idea of this list is to make it
easy for union men and women to
buy union goods. II anyone has any
| compunctions about asking for the
label they can simply ask for the
brand without saying anything about
the label, but at the same time they
are using up the union goods that
are on sale. The merchants were Wis
tied and asked for their line of label
goods. When we got the list we
checked it up and then compiled the
list as published in the Laborer. We
will revise the list from week to week
and keep it up to date. If man
wants to buy union made shirt he
sees in that list that the Elgin shirt
is on sale at such and such places
He knows the shirt is on sale at Q
particular store and the price, so in

Charles w. Post has broken loose
again, and is using big space in the
daily newspapers to tell what brutes
union men are. 1t might be well to
remind the public again just what
kind of a man Charles w. Post is.
He is the millionaire manufacturer
OF imitation food who treated his wife
cruelty because he had been smitten
by the charms of young stenographer
in his office. So cruel did his treat
ment of his faithful wife become that
she had to secure a divorce. Before
the ink on the decree was dry Post
married his stenographer and hiked
off to Europe, leaving the wife who
had helped him make a fortune to
ponder on the frailty of men, and
watch another woman spend the mon
ey she had helped to earn.

that way it is made easy for him

In nutshell, our scheme is to
Make it easy to buy Union Made
Goods
We would like to see Lincoln, ST.

and boom our own goods, letting the

]. M. HOGAN.
The plan outlined above is a prac-
tical one, and The Wageworker is
happy to state that it has already been
taken up in Lincoln. The Womans
Union Label League is preparing
list of union made goods and the
names of merchants handling them
and in a short time the plan will be
in practical operation. Lincoln, how
ever, has not followed the Omaha plan
to the letter. The Woman's Union
Label League is an Independent Or
ganization, and up to date it has not
received proper support from the labor
uniops But SO far as the idea OF
unions subscribing in body to the
local labor paper is concerned, Lin
coin adopted that plan when The
Wageworker first started. Today
practically every union in the city
has subscribed for this paper. and
| those which have not are just now in
difficulties. This may be a coincid-
ence, but it is a fact.
Make it Easy to Buy Union Made
Goods" is a slogan that should arouse
great enthusiasm. That union men
and women will not ask for union
made goods is a fact that can not be
disputed If they would the fight
would be won in a walk. Any plan,
| therefore, that is calculated to boost
the label should be taken up by out
and-out unionists whose unionism is
something better THAI the mere mouth
and card variety.
The union men and women of Lin
| coin spend $1,OOO,O00 year, or more,
with Lincoln merchants. If that vast
| amount of patronage could be consoli-
dated for union made goods the local
merchants would remain awake at
night framing up schemes to get label
goods. AS it is they do not worry
| themselves at all, for the simple rea-
son that they can sell "scab" goods
! far easier and at a great profit. 1t
