W0RKINGMEN'S DUTY.

Too many of tho members of
those labor organizations which
have no union label on their pro-
ducts do not seem to realize it's i'm
portance. Many do not seem to
realize the forward steps which the
labor movement is making in this
dir ection. An employer who an
tagonizes the principles of union
ism anywhere is declared unfair,
and is placed upon the unfair list.
Too many unions and union men
get the unfair list and the union
label mixed up. They seem to
think that ifa certain firm is not
on the unfair list, it is fair, for
getting entirely their duty to de-
mand the union. Our duties in
this respect are two -fold-positive
negative. The positive duty is to
look up, demand and purchase
only union label goods. The
negative duty is to avoid the goods
on the unfair list. The negative
duty is reasonably well carried
out, but the positive duty is sadly
negle cted, and the statement that
union men who neglect this duty,
of demanding the union label, an
tagonize union principles is by no
means fanciful. 1t is a solemn
fact. This must be clear to every
one when We reflect that working
men arc employers Of labor to the
extent of every dollar which they
spend. That being so, who ought
union men employ-organizcd or
unorganized labor1 Tho answer
is, of couse, organized labor. You
make no hesitation in so answer
ing. Indeed, you probably resent
the question. But if tho question
seems unfair, remember it is the
actions of union men that bring
these questions to the surface.
Remember, that in all the label
crafts, in clothing, in cigars, in
brooms, in boots and shoes and a
dozen other crafts you, as a union
man, are employing non union
labor every time you purchase
something without the union label.
When you realize that, then must
you admit that there is cause to
complain. You would not think
of hiring nOn-union carpenter if
you wanted something in his line
done. AS q good union man, YOU
would not think of hiring a non
union painter if you had a job Of
painting to do. Then, why should
you Internationally; but it is your
doing just the same-non-union
garment workers to make your
clothes, or non union shoe workers
to make your shoes And vet
every time you buy clothes O,
shoes or bread without the label,
you employ the non union man.
The labor argus. [volume] (Charleston, W. Va.) 1906-1915, 1907-01-24

The union label signifies that
human life is becoming more priced
in the production Of human com
modities than mere profit; it warns
you that by patronizing Il firm that
does not uphold il you assist in
building up the business Of a
tyrant who extracts a fortune from
The drudgcry and dcgradatio Of
his fellow men. Therefore, create
the demand. Ask for a union
label wherever you go. Demand
governs supply.

true in many instances, according
to its application.
The poor lman-the poverty
stricken man-may be said to
block the wheels of organization
progress. If this is accepted in
its real sense, then it follows that "a
very necessary proceeding to re-
move the trough lock" is to en-
gage in missionary work. Make
the poor man union man.
