The strike of the Hattcrs has caused a
larger demand for their union label than
was ever known before. Union men are
doing their share in helping their strik-
ing brothers by insisting the union
label in all hats purchased. There are
over thirty-fve union label hat factories
IN the country, and they increasing
their output to supply the big demand
that has been created by the strike. It
is expected that the business of the struck
factories will be turned to the union fac
tories, thereby giving employment to
many strikers. Central labor bodies and
local unions throughout the country are
using their influence retail stores and
Jobblng houses to have them order union
label hats only.
