THE EMBLEM
OF JUSTICE
Rev. Walter Vrooman Praises the
Sacredness of the Union Label
Represents all that is Noble
in Labor.

BY far the strongest endorsement
of the union label which we have
seen Tor many day, comes
strangely enough, from the pulpit.
1t forms part Of Il sermon recently
delivered by Rev. Walter Nrooman
the great Baltimore divine, in
which the revcrned gentleman
said:
''What can be more sacred.
more holy or more deserving Of the
reverence of men or angels than
the union label, which signifies
that human life has been more
highly valued in the production Of
commodities than the mere profits
sought for by greed. The label is
an emblem Of justice, Of fraternity
of humanity. When you find a
labcl in Il garment or on a box of
cigars or Il loaf of bread. you can
he sure that neither was made in a
sweat shop. That no childrcn's
fingers were compelled to SOW or
sort tobacco in the hours of the
| night intended for hcalthful child
iSh sleep. When you see this

knowing that in doing SO you are
not becoming Il partner to any in
stitution that dogladcS humanity
for private profit. You can sleep
sound also and not be worried
with thoughts Of typhuS fever,
smallpox and leproSy, which are
often scattered broadcast form
Chinese opium joints, pcnitentiary
cOnvictS' cells and tenement sweat
shops. where the most degraded
specimens Of humanity put their
lifc'S blood into marketable goods
that the poor. unsuspecting public
suffers all manner Of foul and
loathSomc disease.
''Ihc union label is Il religious
emblem. 1t is a religious act to
buy goods to which this label is
attached. an act blessed on earth
and honorcd in heaven while it is
Il sin to buy Il cigar, a piece of
clothing. 4 pair Of shoes or loaf
of bread without this label. for
then You do not know but what
you are building upthc business of
some heartleSS tyrant who is eX-
tracing fortune from the
drudgcry and degradation of his
fellows at the risk Of the public
health. God bless the label, And
! hope that all of you. as you leave
this house to night, Will carry in
delibly impressed upon your minds
the pictures of the union label,
surrounded by angels. and that
you will always know that the
favorite banner in heaven is that
banner which represents Justice to
labor, fresh air and sunshine and
healthful conditions for those who
toll. and the truth that human life
is of greater moment than the gain
