A PARDoNABLE ERROR.
Peoples Store Thought It Was Getting
the PRINTING Label

Peoples Store Thought It Was Getting
the Printing Label.
Last week Gold & Co., proprietors
of the Peoples Store, got out big
bill advertising special sale. The
bill did not bear the allied printing
trades label, and as result trades
unionists got busy with the "red stick
ers'' and Gold & Co. received a large
number of the bills back with the I'VE
don't patronize' stamp.
In justice to Gold & Co. it is hereby
stated that when the copy for the bills
was taken to the print shop that par
ticular shop die have the allied trades
label. This was one reason why Gold
& Co. patroniz &c that particular shop.
The firm always insists upon the
label, and naturally supposed that 1t
would be on tha bill as heretofore AS
soon as the crsor was discovered Gold
& Co. recalled as many Of the bills as
possible and ordered new supply
Il called for the label on the job,
and supposed that it would be put on
as it always had been in that shop.
You may say for me that if know it
none of Gold & Co.'s work goes to nom
union houses said Mr.. Gold.

Washington, July 22.-The executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor today made good it's declaration
of several months ago to enter the
field of politics in the interest of the
trades union movement and to urge
all friends of organized labor to elect
to political office men known to be
favorable to labor's cause. At the
headquarters of the federation the
council today issued it's Campaign pro-
gram" addressed to all organized Ia
Dor and friends in the United States"
1t sets, out that the trades union
movement has kept and proposes to
keep pace with the rapid change in in
dustrial affairs, and that the working
people cannot hope to maintain their
rights or a progressive position in the
varying phases of modern society un-
less they organize and exercise all
those functions, which, as workmen
and citizens, it is their privilege and
their duty to exercise.
1t is declared that labor makes no
demand on government and society
which is not equally accorded to all
the people of this country, and that it
can and will be satisfied with nothing
less.
The proposed campaign is based
upon the allegation that little attention
has been paid to the enactment of laws
prepared by organized labor and pre-
sented to congress, for the relief OF
these wrongs and the attainment OF

tions, recognizing that eternal vigil
lance is the price of industrial as well
as political liberty.
'The working people cannot hope to
maintain their rights or a progressive
position in the varying phases of mod
ern society unless they organize and
exercise all those functions which, as
workmen and citizens, it is their privi-
lege and their duty to exercise.
Labor makes no demand upon gov
ernment or society which is not
equally accorded to all the people of
our country. 1t can and will be salts
fed with nothing else.
Congress No Friend of Labor.
Several presidents of the United
States have in their messages to con-
gress, urged the passage of equitable
legislation in behalf of the working
people, but congress has been entirely
preoccupied looking after the interests
of vast corporations and predatory
wealth.
"Congressmen and senators in their
frenzied rush after the almighty dollar
have been Indifferent or hostile to the
rights of man. They have had no time
and as little inclination to support the
reasonable labor measures, the enact
ment of which we have urged, and
which contained beneficent features
for all our people without an obnox-
ious provision to anyone.

common people are justly entitled and
which are essentially necessary for
their welfare.
The council issues a word of caution
that the movement must not degen-
crate into a scramble for Office, but it
should be determined effort, free alb

1t is expressly stated that where a
congressman or state legislator has
proved himself a true friend to the
rights of labor he should be supported
and no candidate nominated against
him.

gram:

eral organizer of the Boot and Shoe
Workers Union. was in Lincoln the
first of the week, putting Lincoln
unionists next to all the facts connect
ed with the strike in the Kirkendall
shoe factory in Omaha It was merely
a case of where the management of the
Kirkendall factory sought to use the
union to boost that particular factory
at the expense of other union factories.
Also, it was revealed that the manage
ment was using one member Of the
union illegitimately.
The workmen in the Kirkendall shop
led by a traitorous fellow named Nc
Gill, seeded from the union when
they found they could not control it.
Kirkendall told them to organize
union of their own and he would help
them. Kirkendall then sent back his
union stamp. Now the Boot and Shoe
Workers are after Mr.. Kirkendall. Mr..
Lovely is in Lincoln to see if he can
not exert some pressure that will in
duce Mr. Kirkendall to make peace
with the union. And we rather think
that Mr.. Lovely administered a con-
siderable squeeze" during the last
