1t also says that the unorganized
workers, such as stenosraphers
oookkeepers, mercantile clerks.
cannot cope with the increase. ,,
ne organized workman is very
little affected, because of his union
keeping up the wages. Large EN-.
ployeis have voluntarily increased
organized labor's wages common,
surate with the increase cost of

latter is, therefore, a great sufferer.

Virtues of the Labor Press.

Here is one man at least who an.
preciates the efforts of the lab1,

that their author realizes fully the
tooilShneSS of unioniStS who VIII
patronize daily paper and throw
their own paper down:
Now here Is 4 rhyme for the labor press
That h'azeS the ,oilsouc way,
And shoulders the load DER the rocky roa,I
And gets more of knocks than pay,
For You grudgingiy give TO youi trucs,
friend,
Who bears the burnt of Your fight,
What You freely bestow on Your GcadIi-
est foe,
The organ of wealth and might.
You have dollars to help the plu,oerat's
And pennies to give to Your own.
And kiss of delight for the hand th.t
would sIuitc
While you hurl at Your friend a stone;
Vet the labor press in the battles van
Ever welcomes the ticrccSt fight,
With scornful smile for the iuocser,s
guile
And daun,less heart for the tight.
Yes. here is song for the labor press.
Whose heroes may never know
Their Ineed OF fame or the worlds
acclaim,
AS they battle our coming foe;
But whose hearts, as ever did heroes
hearts.

EXCUSE
Advanced by Union Men on Num-
erous Occasions for Not
SECURING THE UNION LABEL
On Purchases Made by Them and
Are not Positive in Their
Demand for It.

Bunny Knee an Irish gentleman,
went into 4 restaurant, and when
the waiter approached, said:
Have you any whaleG'
The waiter smilingly replied
that they were just out of whale.
''Ihcn have yez any sharkr'
Shark, too, was just out.
'Ihen bring me some corn bafe
am cabbage,' said Bunny.
.'lleaven knows I tried to get
fish,
Mr.. Union Man, is that the way
you ask for the label! Do you 90
into the clothing store and say:
81 want Il suit of clothes with
the label"
And then, when the clerk says,
eve haven't just what you want
with the label, but here is some
thing better and it don't cost quite
so much" do you say to yourself:
'!Well, I'll take it-heavens knows
| asked for labeled goods.n
There are IL lot of union men
who try to get the label just like
Bunny tried to get fish at the
restaurant. And then, with '.scab"
coats on their backs, ''scab' hats
OIL their heads, ''scab" shoes on
their feet and ''scab" tobacco in
their mouths, they pratc about
their unionism, and say: "Heaven
knows, l tried to get the label, but
I couldn't find anything with it to
suit me-"
Fellow unionists, they say that
hell is paved with good intentions.
If that is true, lot of tried to- get
thc-label unionists are hopping
along the pavement in "scab'
shoes and decorating the atmos-
phcre with ''scab" smoke and
'!scab' tobacco juice.
There is nothing just as good as
the labeled article.' If it hasn't
got the label, go somewhere else.
And if you can't it with the label,
do without it until you can get it.
Mr.. Merchant will soon get busy
in order to hold your trade. a
lot of merchants discourage the de-
mand for label goods by trying to
make You believe they cost a lot
more. 1t stands to reason that
union made goods cost more than
the sweat shop made goods, be
cause the union workmen get good
pay. Well, what of that! Don't
you get good pay because you are
a union man? Then why try to
prevent your fellow unionists from
getting good wages! The editor
OF this paper has as much right to
employ Il ':rat' printer, because
he can get him cheaper, as union
carpenter, or union machlnist, or
Il union printer, or any other union
man has to buy a ''scab' suit, or
..scab'' pair of shoes, because
they can get them for less money
than they would have to pay for
union made articles.
Don't ask for the label like
Bunny Knee asked for the fish.
