UNION LABEL BECOMING
POPULAR IN DOMINION
Growing Tendency Of Canad-
ian Manufacturers to put
Label on Products.
Untiring Efforts of Loyal
Trades Unionists Credit
ed with the Result.

The Herald and Star of Montreal,
Canada, says:
The growing tendency on the part
Of manufacturers in various lines to
put the union label on union made
goods is helpful sign to those trades
unionists who have for years past, in
season and out Of season, urged men,
bers Of labor unions and their families
to demand the label on all purchases.
Sentiment Awakened.
For SOME years there seemed to be
disposition on the part of employers
to refuse the label on their goods, and
in many quarters this sentiment still
controls, but the ever-increasing de-
mand has forced many of them to FORE
go any scholastic scruples they may
have had, until at present union label
ed goods of all classes and descrip-
tons are offered to the public, freely
advertised as such, and meet a ready
sale, not only to members of trades
unions, their families and friends, but
the public has awakened to the fact
that, generally speaking, goods bear
ing the union label are superior to all
others.
Universal Benefit.
If the public has at last been aroused
to the superior quality Of label goods,
which are the product of union labor,
receiving fair living wages and enjoy
ing reasonably short workdays in
shops where the sanitary conditions
are clean and wholesome, it is a great
gain for the nation as we'll as for the
cause of unionism.
This education of the people has
that in many instances goods which
do not bear the label are manufactured
in sWeatshops, prisons and poorly-ven-
tilated, overcrowded, disease produce
ing tenements by the overworked,
poorly paid slaves Of grasping en-
ployers should welcome this sign Of
the times, which can be fostered and
strengthened by us until in time all
goods on the market which have any
claim to superiority will bear the mark
of that union which is engaged in its
manufacture.
To your efforts to create a demand
for the label this condition is due. but
the battle is not yet won. Keep de-
handing it on your purchase. AS the
demand increases so will the supply,
and the time will soon come when
goods which do not bear the union
label will be forced from the market by
the better made union label products.
The union farmers should learn a
lesson from the success of their fellow
unionists, and day and night, in sea-
son and out of sseason, advocate the
use Of the farmers union label by: all
dealers in farm products. In order to
make their own label popular they
should advocate the use of all union
labels and not buy goods that have
not the union label attached. The label
is the strongest card the unionist has
to play.

Half Holiday on Saturday.
Officers of the Structural Building
Trades Unions in Spokane have taken
up a movement y. originated by the
Bricklayers' Union for a half holiday
on Saturdays at the expense of the
lien. The bricklayers have asked the
international Executive Board to sane
ton the plan and If this is granted
other building unions in the city will
also ask for similar action, the plan
being to have the holiday season be-
gin early in July and continue
throughout the summer. This plan will
mean employment to 10 per cent more
men, the demand for which is already
far in excess of the supply because of
increased building operations in Spok-
Gne.

Officers of the Central Labor Union
in Spokane have sent communication
to the American Society Of Equity, an
organization of the farmers. and as
soon as the reply is received they will
give support to d branch to be estab-

been received from the society asking
for the support of the Central labor

ton and when this is received the GEN.

ABRAHAM LINcoLN's HONESTY.

00nT1t0N 1tINSS1N ''~'~.S' .
1.-The lawyer whose honesty is proved
has the confidence Of the judge and
jury" asserts Judge Brewer in the
"Atlantic Monthly" To illustrate his
meaning he tells this story of Abraham
Lincoln:
He was appointed to defend one
charged with murder. The crime was
a brutal one; the evidence entirely cir
cumstantial; the accused a stranger.
Feeling was high and against the
friendless defendant. On the trial Lin
coin drew from the witnesses full
statements Of what they saw and knew.
There was no effort to confuse; no at
tempt, to place before the jury the
facts other than they were. In the
argument, after calling attention ito
the fact that. there was no direct tes-
timony, Lincoln reviewed the >circum-
stances, and, after conceding that this
and that seemed to point to defen-
dant's guilt closed by saying that he
had reflected much on the case, and
while it seemed probable that defend
ant was guilty. he was not sure, and
looking the jury straight in the face,
said, Are your The defendant was
acquitted, and afterwards the real
criminal was detected and punished.
The simple, straightforward way Of
Lincoln, backed by the confidence Of
the jury, won. ..55

has not yet fully awakened to the fact
that saving the children today We save
the country in the future, and as we
love our country so should we protect
these children, in whose hands some
day will rest the precious stewardship
of the republic. The tate and the
municipality do not give sufficient ma
terial assistance to child saving. The
enactment of laws should be followed
by an adequate number Of factory in
spectors to enforce those laws. We
must have appropriation with legisla-
tion. The competitive life of politics
diverts the public moneys into other
channels, and merely a pittance is
tossed to factory inspection as SOD
to labor. This same competitive life Of
pol1t1c-the struggle for supremacy
between the great parties-makes the
tenure Of office for factory inspectors
uncertain, with the result that the
trained and faithful inspector at times
must retire as a martyr to party fealty
Or factional strife among the bosses.
In factory inspectors official life one
good term deserves another.

These men carry their worries home

Attlred for the opera, Morgan Ire
maine stepped into the elevator at the
twelfth floor of the Alameda, where he
had his apartments.
Good evening, Daniel O'ConnelI Mo-
loney," he said gravely to the knicker-
bockered and freckled elevator boy.
Daniel O'Connell grinned cheerfully
and whistled through a gap in his
front teeth by way of reply. They
were sworn friends, the two.
At the tenth floor the car stopped,
and the door slid back. Tremaine re
moved his hat tremendously. Mrs.
Alderton Ten Eyke, also theaterward
bound, large and determined in ap-
pearance, marched in. At sight of the
young attorney she shifted, a slight,
ladylike, well bred sniff, but neverthe-
less a sniff. Miss Marjorie Ten Eyke,
young and slender, dark eyed and low
able, followed her mother She did not
look at Tremaine, but the fafntest hint
Of added color appeared for moment
in her smooth cheeks. Arthur Ben
scooter, caressing fercely upturned
mustache, which emphasized his sparse
five feet five, brought up the rear.
Sixty-five inches are not impressive,
but hundred thousand dollars for
every inch Of it is rather a good aver
age, which the militant Mrs. Ten Eyke
fully appreciated.
So did Tremaine, with a hungry glance
at his lovely former fancee. When
one is a struggling lawyer, just be
ginning to see light ahead after two
years battle with callous New York,
one gives due consideration to a half
dozen millions, especially when the
other fellow has them.

lining perilous situations for the fair
Marjorie, with himself as the rescuing
hero, that he walked three squares be-
yOnd his theater
The next morning he oversight and
rushed to the elevator with an impor-
tant engagement almost due.
I'm hurry, d. orc. Moloney," he
admonished the youth at the controller.
"Pm SO late now l haven't time to
speak your full name"
Daniel O'Connell grinned and imitat-
ed steam calliope by whistling shrilly.
through the gap in his teeth. With
apparent carelessness he consulted the
indicator board. There was no one
waiting to descend. Stealthily he
fumbled with the levers-swish!
The car dropped fifty feet like dead
weight before Tremaine could move q
muscle. Gasping for BREATH of which
the swift descent deprived him, he
pictured an awful death when the car
should strike the bottom of the shaft.
But the mad rush was checked as sud-
denly as it had begun, and the elevator
finished It's journey to the ground floor
at a pace approved by all sensible and
well regulated lifts.
A glimpse of Daniel O'ConnelPs grin
ming face in the mirror made all clear.
"You young rascalr' calculated the
lawyer as he caught his breath. You
did that on purposer'
"Well," retorted the boy, skipping
nimbly out of reach, as he threw the
door open, you said youse was in
hurry
Ten minutes later the pedestrians on
Sixty fourth street were much edited
to see a good looking young man stop
suddenly, slap his thigh resoundingly
and laugh aloud. Thereat fat police
man hastily conned over in "A some

boy on the wing paused long enough to
shout "Bugsr' before he swooDed on

idea, paid not the slightest attention.

communicative. That evening Danie7
OConnel, in an endeavor to Guido
previous calliope performances, almost
blew tooth out. His small chest was
pulled like pouter pigeon as he laid q
crisp five dollar note in the lap of his
mother.
The wintry afternoon was closing as
Miss Ten Eyke, in a house gown which
to the masculine eye made her beauty
simply bewildering, called the elevator
to the fourteenth floor of the Alameda
She had spent the afternoon with
girl friend, and as the car stopped her
heart beat a little more rapidly over
certain possibility-that she might en-
counter Tremaine-for Miss Marjorie
was very much in love with the young
lawyer, despite their quarrel
She invariably explained to herself
at this annoying quickening of the
pulses that it was fear, not hope,
which made her feel so. Daniel O'Con-
nell approved of Miss Marjorie. She
had nice eyes and a friendly way of
looking at "a Teller" Sometimes they
talked-about elevators and books and
a guy not having any chance to go to
school and how it was a good thing to
study nights.
He was a stanch little partisan, too,
and talked of his friends of the other
sex, chief of whom was Mr.. Tremaine.
And, although when the conversation
turned on the lawyer it usually be-
came a mOnologue, Miss Marjorie was
a good listener Her eyes would grow
soft, and she would sigh a little One
day when Daniel O'Connen gleefully
told of a case which Tremaine had just
won she gave him a quarter.
Down said masculine voice, and
Miss Ten Eyke's fear-or hope-was
realized. The car stopped at the
twelfth floor for Mr.. Tremaine He
removed his hat with that air of i'm
personal courtesy which is so annoy
ing when a person is willing to accept
an overture of peace. Of course she
had returned his ring and sent back
his notes unopened and refused to
speak to him, but that was two whole
months ago. Why couldn't he have
been more persistent? Didn't he know
81 girl could change her mind? Oh,
dear! The tenth floor, and he wasn't
going to even look
Swish! The car seemed to drop from
beneath their feet. They were falling!
An agonized vision flashed into Mar
jorie's mind, a vision of herself lying
crushed and broken at the bottom of
the shaft With a cry which struck
remorse to the hearts of the plotters,
she turned to Tremaine, hands out
stretched
