DEMANDING THE LABEL.
A number OF union men were talking
the other day about going into the vari-
Gus stores and asking for union-made
goods. They wanted to buy suit OF
clothes each, and 10 be consistent union
men, they asked for a union clerk to wait
upon them and nothing but unionmade
clothing would satisfy them. While dis
cussing the trouble they had In getting
what they wanted. one man said: Are
we consistent In our demands In all
things. and do We as a rule patronize
those that do have the label? Now. we
are 10000 strong in this city. Think what
n boon we could give tho only paper In
town which carries the label II everyone
OF the 200o0 should make UP their mind
90 become subscribers. Don't you think
they would give us a larger paper? We
know that now they are giving US the
best labor news We ever had, and most
of the boys are taking the paper. But
don't you think that In order 10 be con-
sistent everyone OF the D.OW should
buy The News-Democrat? There fs not
a union man In the city who cannot afford
10 spend one cent a day for a paper. and
the labor news alone in the paper Is
worth many times that. We ought TO
show the public and the publishers of
the paper that unionism means something
to us, that we are not striving to get all
we can al the expense OF others. and CIV
ing nothing In return. We want 20 be
consistent. We want to demand the Ia
bel on everything we buy. We want the
label also on what we read, and for that
reason all union men should ask for The
News Democrat when buying their even-
ing paper"
