LAUNDRY WORKERS LABEL.

The above Is q fac-simile of the label
of the Laundry Workers. This label is
issued to laundries that employ mem
bers of Laundry Workers union No. %
and is stamped on the laundry slip ac-
companying the bundle.
The Women's Trade Union League is
planning a campaign in behalf of the
laundry workers at this time and 1t is de-
sired to acquaint union men and women
with the label of this organization. The
appearance of this label on your laundry
package assures you that you are pat
ronizing a laundry that. believes he CIV
ing the girls who work in the laundries
of the city square deal-eight hours
and a fair wage with sanitary condi-
tions.
There is no work which women do
that is more exacting than laundry work
and the employer who docs not concede
this fact is not worthy of the support
of union men and women or the public
in general. These girls are compelled
to work long hours and stand in damp,
ill-ventilated room and work for mere
pittance. No true union man or woman
who understands the true conditions
under which the laundry workers have
to make a living will hesitate about
sending their laundry to union laun-
dry. BY helping these girls to better
their condition you are helping your
own union. Many of the girls employed
in the laundries OF the city are heartily
in favor of the union but, like slaves, are
afraid to express their opinion openly.
because If they do SO the result will
be dismissal. The Women's Trade Union
League is going to take up the organiza-
ton of the laundry workers and push
it vigorously. 1t is therefore the duty
of every union in the city and every in
dividual union man and woman to boost
for the above label and help these work
ers secure some of the benefits which
you are now enjoying.

After contest of eight weeks by the
Detroit branch of the Granite Cutters
International association settlement
has been reached by which new agree
ment has been made increasing wages
from 1925 minimum for an eight-hour
day to a minimum OF $3.50 for the first
year and $500 minimum for the fol-
lowing three years to round out four

Cutters also secured a Saturday half
holiday as we'll as substantial and I'M
proved changes in sanitation and work
shop conditions. The employers made
some efforts to secure non-union men
but those they obtained who possessed
mechanical skill Joined the union when
they found there was suspension on,
and those who we're not skilled were OF
course no use to the employers. The
Granite Cutting employers In Detroit
and vicinity have now a much higher
respect for their employees and for union
men than ever before.

UNION TRADING COMPANY FoamEr
Its Object Is To Extend Sale OF Union
Made Goods.

Recently a company was FORMED In
New York City which should be of great
benefit to union men and their friends
This company is the Union Trading
company of IL West Twenty-third street.
jobbers and distributors of unionlabeled
products in the wearing apparel line.
The company is organized for the pur-
pose OF securing the trade OF merchants
desiring to handle union goods, and to
facilitate matters for the retail trade,
SO that merchants everywhere may be
able to lay in an entire stock of goods
for men and not be compelled to open
up accounts in ten or fifteen cities in
that many states.
But the Union Trading company does
not propose to stop there and wait until
the merchant is ready to order his
goods. 1t expects to scientifically de-
velop the trade of union workers for
union label products by Offering to sell
the best possible goods to be found in
the market and to sell these goods
through agent or direct to the consumer
where merchants are Indifferent or fail
to lay in sufficient quantity OF goods
to properly accommodate the trade.
No one familiar with conditions will
deny the fact that thousands OF dollars
in union label trade is lost because the
merchant is hostile.
The Union Trading company VIII aP
peal directly to thousands OF good,
earnest unionists, and they propose to
handle only the best products to be
found and cater to union men instead
of men carrying union cards who sneak
ingly and underhandedly prefer to pur-
chase scab, non-union or prison-made
goods. They plan to get the union
people and their friends to pay fair
price" and in return give them honest
value.
One of the first products they Sc
cured, and which they will push. is the
well-known Wright's Health under
wear, and are now negotiating with
some of the best manufacturers making
work shirts, dress shirts, collars and
cuffs, overalls and other garments bear
ing the label of the United Garment
Workers.

as this should appeal to every trade

The Bakers reported that the Old
Homestead bakery had been placed on

bakery was progressing satisfactorily.
They had been assured that the city

SPANISH WARSmIPS
All That Remains of Cervera's
Squadron Is Still Wis.,

1
Fourteen years ago in July the Span
ish Warships, commanded by Admiral
Cervera. pushed their iron noses out
of Santiago harbor and rushed off in
wild effort to escape the yankee
pigs" who, on sea and land, were
gradually Tightening the Gordon a.
round them.
Today the visitor to the little Gu
ban coast village of Juan Gonzales
may see all that remains of that war
fleet of naughty Dons. Two rusty
and battered masses of iron rise out
of the sea, not far from shore, one
mass representing all that is left of
Admiral Cervera's flagship viscaya
andthe other the:remains of the cruiser
Almirante Oquendo. The latter
reached much shallower water and
large part of her shows above the
sea.
The Viscaya, torn into pieces, bears
little resemblance to what was once
one of the finest vessels of the Span
ish navy. On several occasions the
project of raising the wrecks has been
suggested, but abandoned, as the
vessels are of no value except as scrap
iron. One of the Viscaya's turrets
still rises above the sea, and from it
a gun points menacingly upward to-
ward the sky. The portions above the
water of both ships are encrusted
with barnacles and rusted by the
weather.
The Almirante Oquendo was beach
ed near Jaun Gonzales, about seven
miles from Santiago, while the Wis
caya managed to get about twice as
far away before turning in toward
the shore. In consequence the two
hulks are about seven miles apart.
