aREGI8TERND)

The above is a fac-simile of the Bak-
cry and Confectionery Workers union
label, which is pasted on the products of
members of the Bakery and Confection-
cry Workers union.
Just at this time 1t is very imperative
that union men and women and the gen
eral public become acquainted with the
above label. Bakers union No. 26 has
started an organization campaign in this
city and the success of this movement
depends to a great extent upon the sup
port given the Bakers by union men and
women. 1t is the duty of every union
man who is. married to acquaint his wife
with the Bakers label and what 1t stands
for as the woman of the house is the
one who spends the largest share of the
union mans wages and he should see to
1t that she does not employ non-upion
bakers, which she would do II she in
sists on purchasing non-union-made
bread. II is not an easy matter to edu-
cate the women to demand the label but
once this task has been accomplished
they will be found more loyal to the
label than a great number Of union men
who boast of their good unionism. AS
soon as the groceryman becomes con-
vinced that the wife will take no other
but union-made bread he will very quick
ly see to it that he has supply always
on uduu.
Bread is a necessity of life and is
found on the table of the rich and the
poor alike. But how many people ever
stop to think under what conditions the
bread they eat is made? Very few. In
deed. AS rule the general public gives
little concern as to the conditions under
which the bakery workers toll. They do
not realize that long hours and low
wages are not conducive to the health
of the baker nor to the sanitary condi-
tions that surround his environments.
This is one trade above all others where
sanitation should prevail as 1t affects
the whole people. But as stated before,
long hours and poor pay does not bring
about these conditions. 1t does not re-
quire a great stretch of the imagination
to convince the average person that
sickly and unclean workers over the
food we eat should not be allowed in
this day and age.
It is not generally known, but it is a

ATTENTION. UNION MgNll

The following communication sent ou'
by the Central Labor Union of Indian
apolis, Ind, is self-explanatory:
To Central Labor Unions Everywhere
Greeting:
We wish to call your attention to the
fact that the following concerns of this
city are unfair and are controlled by a
man who is one of the bitterest enemies
of organized labor in the country:
The Keyless Lock Co.-Makers oi
lockers, filing cabinets and similar
articles.
The International Machine Tool Co.
Special machinery and tools.
The Meridian Life Insurance Co.
Various forms of life insurance.
The Hoover-Watson Printing Co.
Commercial and catalog printers and
jobbers and manufacturers of post cards
Please bear these names in mind. Ac
quaint your fellow members with them
and give us your hearty cooperation in
fighting a man who has had trouble with
thirty local organizations in the past.
He has conceived the idea that he
can wipe organized labor out of exist
ence and it is clearly up to the great
body of it's membership to prove to him
in the most practical way that he is the
victim of a great delusion.

fact that all bakers before being al
lowed to join the union must stand a
physical examination and show doctors
certificate of health.
The union label stands for short hours,
fair wages and sanitary conditions. De-
mand the label on all the bread you pur-
chase and you are assured that it is
made in clean and sanitary shops by
healthy workmen who are not compelled
to live like slaves. And further, by as
sisting the bakers union in its fight for
better conditions you are making your
own conditions better and your union
stronger, just as the baker who buys
union-made clothes, smokes and chews
union-made tobacco, patroniZes union
restaurants and bars makes it easier for
his union to secure more pay and shorter
hours for its members.

CLUB STRIkE-OUT RECORD-
GUNNERS REPORT
GAME SCARCITY

Not for years has there been such a
scarcity of rabbits and birds al this
season according TO reports from
lower parts of the state. Heretofore
gunners who went out hunting the
first week averaged about four rab-
bits and double that quantity of birds
day but this season It is far below
normal and the average of one rab-
bit and two birds seems to be the
minimum.
Those most successful state that
most of the rabbits are concealed in
the fields among the high grass, in
fact those who prohibit cunning in
their woods have lately posted notices
In their fields as we'll The sportmen
through the country sections are
talking very seriously at present of
having a law introduced in the leg
islature that no game be killed for
at least one year and If ii can be
made two years It will prove more
satisfactory TO some They state that
there is not enough game this year
to make a cunning expedition en-
couraging and II the coming winter
proves severe there will be but very
few more birds and rabbits next
season. For these reasons they argue
that a years rest would certainly be
great benefit The shortage in game
is also attributed to the large number
OF worthless dogs that scour the
woods in the summer and kill the
young rabbits.
In recent Legislatures attempts
have been made to get laws through
providing for a closed season fol
game for a year o. two. but they hav,
failed because of objection Of som,
rural communities.

After seeing your article in Mon

would like to make a suggestion for
your consideration. You have stated
that there are men on the High School

teams here in the city that are worthy
of All-Delaware hOnors. In the first
place Delaware College is out of con-
sideration as the Olympia is not a
college team but an independent team.
The High School team is a scholastic
team and plays scholastic football. As
for the other two teams, the players
have not been up against men that
the Olympia boys have | am sure the
Olympia boys will play any independ-

its worth. I would like you and the
