many unions OF this city, this plan of
action for their adoption. The unions
will then be put up against it" good and
hard. and they cannot consistently turn
the proposition down, to do so would in
vite criticism Should this plan be ac-
cepted by the unions and faithfully car
ried out, the sale of union-made goods
would be doubled and the merchants
would fall over themselves to carry full
lines of union-made articles.
l am painfully aware that there is
some truth in the statements made that
the label is being used to sell shoddy
and inferior goods at an advanced price"
but this could soon be remedied if the
demand for label goods was made strong
enough to invite competition among the
merchants for the union trade. The
trouble in this line now existing is that
there is not demand enough for these
goods to induce the merchants to COM
pete for the trade. They, no doubt.
think that anything is good enough for
label crank. and apparently are acting
accordingly.

that further efforts be made to secure
an amalgamatiou and. failing in that,
the Executive Council be authorized to
issue a charter covering both organiza.

taken at once but will no doubt be al.

Prior to the Toronto convention of the
American Federation of Labor many
were the predictions made by political
enthusiasts that the Federation was
about to be torn to pieces as a result of
enforcing the constitution relative to af-
filiates of central and state bodies. Char
tered central and state bodies are pro
hibited from admitting TO or retaining in
their councils local organizations not af-
filiated with the national OF international
unions of their craft. also secedius and
dual unions.
Many central and state bodies through
out the country were ordered by the Ex-
ecuuve Council OF the A. F. of l.. to sus-
pend seceding electrical workers and
other dual unions. In some instances,
notably the Cleveland. O.. central body,
as well as the state organization, refused
to comply with the constitution OF the
A. F of L. and their charters were re
voked. and in the two cases noted, new
charters were issued to the loyal trade
unionists. who desired to maintain the
integrity of the movement.
United labor bulletin., 1909-11-26

The socialists in great measure were
exceedingly active in their defiance of
the Federation law. and made an earn
est effort to crystallize sentiment against
the enforcement of the same. admitting
that the officials of the Federation had
no alternative other than to enforce the
constitutional provision.
When this matter came upon the floor
of the convention. however, the much
touted opposition failed to materialize.
and the convention by practically
unanimous vote sustained the action of
tho Executive Council in revoiSing the
charters of recalcitrant city central and
state bodies. This action by the conven.
tion establishes the permanency OF the
law referred to, and no doubt It will be

The Meetings of the Label League.

The meetings of the Label League are
not nearly as well attended as they
should be. and considering the vast i'm
portance of the union people patronizing
label goods and places exclusively there
should be more interest displayed in this
phase of the trades union movement.
When the League was first organized
crowded meetings were the rule. and
much help was rendered those unions
who have labels or shop cards 1t is true
that the subject of patronizing the label
has been talked and written of so often
to be said on the subject. but it does
seem that with the years of experience
of the loyal boosters that some new
ideas on the practical enforcement OF
label patronage could be advanced.
The very best idea in this line that oc.
ours to my mind is that of examining
the clothing of members when attending
their respective unions. The plan. | am
told is in force in certain localities Of
examining different article OF clothing
of every member ON each meeting night
For instance. one night IL may be hats.
the next shoes. the next coats and so on.
This is practical work and brings practi-
cal results because a member having
once been called down before his fellow
members will forever remember the les
son. and he can be relied upon to think
twice before purchasing another scab
article when union one can be obtained
should like to see the League take
this matter up and recommend to the

Who Is To Blame ?

Four hundred women have lost their
fatherless as the result of the murder of
the miners at the st. Paul mine at
Cherry. Illinois, and who is to blame for
this wholesale murder? 1t is presumed
that the company-owned coroner will
summons a company-owned coroner's
jury and find that 1T was an unavoid
able accident. or following the prece-
dent set by some Colorado Fuel and Iron
company juries in the southern Colo
rado coal fields, it may perpetrate a
CHASTITY joke by saying that the men
committed suicide" What a hollow
mockery these coroner's juries are any
way.
The fact is that the company that op-
crates the St Paul mine at Cherry. H.,
is alone responsible for the murder of
their men. The fire that caused the
catastrophe was started in the stables
where the mules were kept 1t was
caused by torches being used to light
these stables, because the company
thought more of saving few dollars
expense to have the electric lights put
into proper condition than it did of the
mems lives. And so it goes in all these
coal mine disasters, the companies Grim
inal negligence and carelessness of hu-
man life is responsible for ninety-nine
out of every one hundred of them. A
piece of timber is worth more to them
than a human life; and why should it not
be so. they have spent their money lib
orally to debauch the election officials
and terrorize the voters so that their
tools shall be returned TO office. with the
sole object Of protecting the company
any time it murders its employees. And
we still are inflicted with some fool
union men who want to keep the unions
out of politics. Politics is the keynote
of the whole proposition. If the compa.
nies knew that a set of public officials
were in power who would hold them re-
men by noncompliance with the laws
made to protect them. every mine would
be equipped with all the proper safe
guards of human life and limb. hundreds
of lives would be saved annually and
thousands of children would not be left
fatherless to struggle for existence in a
heartless world and perhaps TO fall into
the clutches of some white SLAYER
We want little of the Mexican law
which holds the officials for murder in
these cases. The officials guilty of Grim
inal negligence should be sent to Jail
with life sentence, and We would soon
have a cessation of these accidents" in
the coal mines and on the railroads also.

At the meeting of the League last
Friday night, there was quite an interest
ing session. The main subject was the
of the League did not see fit to publish
everything submitted to them by the
water committee, and. of course, the
same created long discussion in which
most of the delegates took part. The
business committee stated that they were
willing at all times to publish any and
all articles pertaining to advance the in
terests of organized labor, but did not
think that the water question should
take up all of our paper. and that they
would publish all things pertaining to the
initiative and referendum and recall. as,
in their judgment. that was the most i'm
portant law for us to have.
At this time on of our delegates called
our attention TO the fact that the Trades
and Labor Assembly was giving their an
nual ball and he thought that we had bet
ter get through with our water and do
other business Upon motion the report
of the business committee was adopted
and they We're instructed to publish such
part of the water question as they think
of most interest to the unions.
The Musicians ask all of the unions
to see that none of their members play
for any entertainment or accept jobs for
furnishing music unless they belong to
their union.
The business committee reported the
paper getting along in fine shape. They
are doing all in their power TO have all
the unions in our city subscribe. and
expect. with the assistance of all the
boosters of unions. to have a paper sec
ond to none. They stated that they knew
1t was impossible to suit al, of our
union men. but feel sure that the ma
jority of the people were satisfied.
Later several good suggestions along
the line of Good and welfare OF the
League" and communication from
Spokane. Washington regarding their
new Label League asking for prices for
our blue buttons. was referred to the Sec
rotary to answer. Then the meeting ad-
journed and all of the delegates went to
the Trades Assembly ball.

spreekIes. Graft erober.

Two weeks ago attention was called
in these columns to the part that multi
millionaire Spreckles was playing in the
graft probe at San Francisco. The opin-
ion was then expressed that it was IA
case of one corporation interest bucking
another with the labor men as the
buffer
The newspapers the past week have
been fun of the stories OF the robbery of
the United States government by the
sugar trust. from which II appears that
these steals have been going on for the
last 20 years and that the government
has been detrauded out of thirty millions
of dollars of duty on imported sugar
The sugar trust has confessed to steal.
ing two millions of dollars from the gov
ernment and have paid over the money.
From the report of Special Acting
United States District Attorney stimson
the following is clipped: "rhe Ameri-
can Sugar company has crushed its RI
walls by sheer weight of money; that II
corrupted government oficials. brbed
leading employees and inspectors OF the
opposition to learn as to the details OF
their companies, and finally. that IL. by
means OF secret understanding with
the SPRECKLES interests in California
apportioned the sugar trade OF the coun-
try SO that independent trade has been
wiped out with two exceptions"
This is the same spreckies who has
been backing Heney In the graft probes.
Comment Is quite unnecessary.

viii all have to be done on the eight
hour basis, as it will be municipal work
and come under the municipal eight
hour law; but aside from this. the sub
ject of taxation for this work is perhaps
not generally understood by numbers of
the union people.
The fact is that the East Denver Park
District. in which this Improvement is
located. is composed of the wealthiest
property owners in Denver. This district
has an assessed valuation of 65000,000
been levied upon it; all its improvements
having been paid for by the city at large
or provided for by the national Con-
sress: while the other three districts of
the city. in which the great mass of the
laboriug people reside, has an assessed
valuation of but sS2.OOO.OO. and these
three districts have been called upon to
pay 100000 in taxes for their improve
ments.
