The first party, which was COM

left Athabasca Landing early in 1908,
bound for Chesterfield Inlet on the
annual patrol trip. Incidentally his
party was to nunt for traces Of a geo.

who has been missing for two years.

command Of Sergeant Donaldson, and
comprising Corporal Reeves, as inter-

Churchill for Fullerton the most north

men, with the intention of meeting

Working Under a Charter Granted
By the international Union
of w. w. & M. L.

A local union Of vigilant, patient,
active and perserverlng union men,
true types Of the great army Of Amer
lean craftsmen, constitute the member
L. I. U. of Duluth.
Heretofore the workers in this line
of endeavor toiled hard with little
recognition; but now the craft is be-
ginning to take honorable place not
only in the ranks of organized labor
but also in the worlds eye.
AS the foundation is to the security
and stability of the superstructure, so
is the work Of tine men Of this craft,
to the permanency, comeliness and
durability of the inside finish and dec
orations of the places where we dwell.
Trade unionism has contributed
much towards. according to the men
of this craft the recognition and COM
pensation their merit and work so long
deserved, but which was so dilatory
in coming. The members of this or
ganization flot only in Duluth, but
throughout the nation are helping
nightly in molding our country near
er and nearer to. the ideals of justice
and brotherhood.
Brother Albert Meldayhl the very
prompt and efficient secretary Of this
local, tritely expresses the idea in
these words: 1.-THE future is in the
hands of the trusted workers VINO put
mind into muscle and heart into handi-
work." Quoting from Carlyle, he said:
"All true work is sacred; in all true
work, there is something Of divine
ness. Labor wide as the earth, mas it's
summit in heaven"

these men of labor, the more he real

WOMAN's LOCAL LABEL
LEAGUE NUMBER 230
Cooperation of Union Men Urged
in Promoting the Cause Of
the Union Label.

Editor Labor World.
On behalf Of the Woman's Union
Label League I wish to say a few
words. The league should be the back
bone of organized labor, and the fate
Of the league rests with the central
body whether it passes down and out.
Why not boost the league, and the
league will boost the label? The OBJ
ject Of the league is to promote the
welfare Of the wage-earner, to dis
countenance the sweat shop produc-
ton by aiding and encouraging the
sale Of union made goods; to gain the
universal eignt-hour work day; to get
equal pay for equal work regardless
of sex; to abolish child labor (better
say child murder):
At the present time there are en-
ployed over 100000 children between
the ages of 10 and Is years in mines,
mills and factories where they are
stunted bodily and mentally. These
children are our future citizens. Now
it is up to organized labor to abolish
that crime.
The women spend 80 per cent Of the
union wages. How many men are
| there who tell their wives to buy only
union-made products, ask for a union
clerk and ask to see their card, tner
buy goods with the label, as we know
where and how these goods are made
a sthat label is shield to protect
union mans product of his labor. W.
want no sweatsnop or prison made
products. :-t
I would urge the union men to ge
their wives and daughters interested
in the work, to become members of thu

tween capital and organized labor, on
