STRENGTH IN THE LABEL.
Advice of American shoe Workers to
British Brethren.
A recent report of the National Union
of Boot and Shoe Operatives OF Great
Britain contains some very interesting
correspondence between the executive
of the union and the directors of the
Cooperative Wholesale Society relative
to the proposed adoption of union label
on boots and shoes.
While we would not presume to offer
our English brothers any advice. 1t is
our belief that the adoption of the union
label in England generally would add
much to the strength of the movement
over there.
AS we understand the matter a far
larger percentage of workers are organ
lied in England than in America, and we
believe they are more loyal and stead
fast to their union principles.
For these reasons we believe that If
cd
would receive a greater degree of sup
port from its members, and, the mem
bership being more numerous in pro-
portion to the population, the CONNER
cial disadvantage to any firm not using
ii would be much greater than here, and
erful there than here.
We freely acknowledge we have
learned much from orr English brothers,
and we remember with gratitude their
financial assistance 10 us at a critical
time in our history as union.
The union label has made us strong
where we were once weak and we be
leve will make our English brothers
stronger even though they are now
strong.-Shoe Workers Journal.
