We had two doctors but no relief

1.-THE UNION LABEL"
J: M. Carl, of Cedar Rapids, Makes

J. M. Carl, Of Cedar Rapids, Makes
Interesting and Convincing Address.
"The union label is the badge of the
square goods, of the square deal. 1t is
the guarantee of fair article, made
by men and women, Of a legal age and
under sanitary conditions.
when you buy union label clothing
you have a guarantee that the clothes
we're not made in sweat shop or as
in one instance, which is vouched for,
on the foot of a bed, in which lay a
patient suffering from tuberculosis.
Then you know that the basting
thread in the garment has not been
drawn by children as young as two
years old, as is the case in GER
tain sweat shops in New York
that have been investigated.
We have a child labor law
in Iowa but that does not affect this
condition. There is but the one rem
edy and that is the union label Man
ufacturers object to 1t because it adds
to the cost of the goods, not only in
that living wages must be paid for the
work, but also the space, light, heat,
rent and those things, which are not
necessary when the work is done in
the tenement houses or sweat shops
And in large city, those things are
expensive"

Brigham, of Les Moines, state labor
was 1.-THE Bureau of Labor Statistics"
Mr.. Brigham said in part:
"The bureau is an important factor
in the trades union movement. 1t
came into existence in 1884. If you
were familiar with the number of du-
ties assigned to the head of this de-
partment, and the amount of ground
he was expected to cover, and would
then compare it with what has been
accomplished you would see that only
beginning has been made.
Each year new duties have been
added to the work of the department.
Recently the enforcement of the child
labor law was assigned to our bureau.
This. will add materially to the amount
of work that is to be done, just how
much. we will not know until the law
becomes operative and experience
shows us.
"The department was brought into
existence by the weight of the influ-
ence' of organized labor. I think that
the old knights of Labor were respon-
sible for its first being instituted.
Since its organization, the Federation
of Labor has been interested in and

ance is that of securing data, by which
the laboring people may be reliably
informed as to existing conditions.
attend all Of these meetings to plead
the cause of the bureau and to impress
upon the delegates the necessity of re-
porting the information that we desire
Complaint has been made that
practically no attention is paid to non
union labor. The reason for this ap
parent lack Of attention is that there
is no reliable way Of obtaining accu
rate information. If you are not salts
fed with the work the department is
doing, the remedy is in your hands. Il
you consider that the appropriation we
have for this work is not large enough
make 1t known to your representatives
in the legislature, and If you think thai
the men who are in Office there are MOI
competent, you should inform the gov
ernor.
Mr.. Brigham then outlined and dis
cussed four bills introduced by the de
partment at the last session of the leg
islature, one of which, the child labor
bill, was passed.

EMPLOYER AND EMPLoYE.
Interesting Talk by Hon. s. II. Harper
Of OttumWa,

Hon. S. H. Harper was the next
speaker, his topic being Employer and
Employe, Their Relation to Each 9th
err" Mr.. Harper said in part: II have
always been in sympathy with the
working man and l believe in labor
unions The labor unions have accom-
plished great work in uplifting the
conditions of the working man. In do
ing this they have benefited the coun-
try. l cannot better illustrate the i'm
proyement in men brought about by
organization than by citing the case of
the gentleman who preceded me as
an example. A few years ago he was
a coal miner digging coal, and yet this
evening he was able to make an elo-
quent and inspiring address that
would have done, credit to the floor Of
the upper house of the state legislature
or the lower house of the national
congress. And this body of delegates
one might easily mistake for branch
of the state legislature.
But to talk about my subject. think
that an employer should know an en-
ploye by name, should know something
about his family, his characteristics,
good or bad He should be interested
in his employee, should be ready to ex-
tend him favors, should show him
courtesy and look out for his interests.
He should always be fair and square
with the employe.
"The employe should treat his EN-.
ployer with courtesy and respect, and
he should do full days work for full
days pay. He should look after the
interests of his employer, should no
tice things going to waste, or changes
needed in the machinery of factory or
office The employee has great op
portunities to suggest changes which
will save the employer money. This
he should never fail to do. These
qualifications represent the relation:
that to my mind should exist between
employer and employed.
I'm democratic America there car
be no such thing as continuous clas:
of working men. The employe of TO
day is the employer Of tomorrow. The
sons OF the employee are employers
The son does not in this country con
form to the trade or craft Of his fathe
necessarily. He has right to b.
i anything that he wants to be.

these sweat shops, the speaker contin-
ued, "The state Of New York has
some very good laws on this question,
but there is no way of enforcing them,
because the places of this kind can
not be found. They are in places
where it is almost if not quite impos.
sible to discover them. Therefore
there is only one method by which the
good people of this country can RENE
dy these conditions and that is by the
use of the union label. There Is no
other practical way, that know Of,
whereby one may distinguish sweat
shop goods from that made under san
itary conditions.

AN EMPLOYER OF UNION LABOR
Subject of Toast Responded to by A.
sN

Subject of Toast Responded to by A.
A. w. Lee was the next speaker and
responded to the toast, can Employer
of Union Labor. He said:
"It is my pleasure to state to this
representative, body of union laboring
men that I have been an employer of
union labor for nearly twenty-five
years, and that I hope to continue to
employ union labor as long as / am
engaged in active business.
"Why?
Briefly and primarily, because in
the business in which am engaged,
union labor is the best labor from a
technical standpoint, and l want the
best labor I can buy for the money
which l expend.
Secondly, union labor in my line of
business is the best paid and is for
that reason as rule steady, reliable,
and of good character.
Thirdly, union labor, acting under
rules and laws which are applied gen
orally and impartially to those in the
same line of business, including my
competitors, relieves me from many
details of administration which other.
wise would require much attention
and care.
"Fourthly, In quarter Of century
of active business life, have had nc
serious controversy with union labor
nor have l found it difficult to AMIGA
bly, and satisfactorily adjust and set
tie any question that has come up be
tween myself as employer, and the
unions, or the members Of the unions
as employees.
"And generally, because l believe
the labor union has in the past i'm
mensely advanced and furthered the
welfare of the laboring man and can
in the future, If it's efforts are prop
erly directed, accomplish great good
not only for the individual, but for the
general public as well.

recognize that there are dangerous

LABOR AND THE CHURCH.
Rev. John HASTE Speaks of Relations
of These Forces.

Rev. John HASTE Speaks of Relations
of These Forces.
The last toast of the evening was
given by Rev. John HASTE, pastor of
the Finley Avenue Baptist church Mr..
Hastie said in part: when the church
of Christ was first organized and sent
forth on its mission among the chill
dren of men, 1t received a very cold
reception at their hands This was
chiefly because the precepts laid down
to be practiced were so different from
what thyy had been accustomed to.
"Tneir motto had been an eye for an
eye, a tooth for a tooth, and the funda-
mental teachings of the new church,
Love your enemies, bless them that
curse you,' was beyond their under
standing.
Having installed these truths into
the hearts of his followers, Christ sent
them forth to proclaim these teachings
to the world that by their influence
and example the world might be made
better and brighter That men coming
to realize the great value of such
teachings, would put them into prac-
tice in their daily dealings with each
other.
How slow have men and women
been to perceive the great benefits
which are contained in the teachings
of the Christian church.
"It is true that they have been &C
cepted as the highest and best stand
ard of life, but with most people they
are like their best suit of clothes, kept
for Sunday use only.

robe; into the heart and not into the
clothes
"The great problem of capital and
labor, which has confronted the human
race in all generations seems to be
nearer solution now than ever be-
fore. The gulf that seemed to be so
wide, that no invention of the human
mind might bridge it, has at last been
measured by. the golden rule and even
now gigantic pillars are being built on
both sides, upon which the great struc.
ture is to be laid: Over this bridge
the future generations shall walk
hand in hand.
1--WE live in the dawn of a new day
a day when capital aud labor can sit
down in conference together as breth
rem with common cause at heart. A
day when the federation Of labor is
looked up to because of it's high aims
"a day when the square deal,' sc
much talked about, will become fact
in our dealings with one another. And
then may the measure, by which the
value of ones capital or ones labor
to his brother is to be measured, be
the golden rule, laid down by the car
penter Of Nazareth and handed dowr
all these. centuries by his church"

diplomatic way. I believe in, arbitra.

which might prove feasible suggest
the following: Let there be two
boards Of arbitration, one district
board and the other the supreme or
state board. Both Of these boards to
be composed of impartial men.

board be not satisfactory to both par.

board, but the decision Of this board
should be final. The time will come
when there will be no more strikes
and everything will be settled by arbi-

It gratifles me to be present at this
occasion this evening. have been
inspired by this banquet and by this
most excellent music. But / would
wish to be divinely inspired to tell you
the story of labor, and of the State
Federation which stands for the bene-
At and progress of the laboring man.
t'In the first place and above all else
the State Federation stands for high
er order Of citizenship. 1t strives to
surround the workers Of the state with
those conditions that will make for a
better and higher development Of those
facilities which stand for good citizen

Justice, equality and right are the
basic principles upon which the FEEDER

"The Iowa State Federation has
been perhaps greatly misunderstood.
This federation was formed for pur.

different craft organizations. A larg.

1t was also found of great value in Sc

workers.

fourteen years ago in the city Of Des

this organization. You have all of you
benefited in some way by its accom-
