THE UNION LABEL.

The union label Is topic Of vita
interest to organized labor.
At nearly every union meeting q
communication is read bearing on the
subject, or a speaker discusses the
question on the floor.
It would be very difficult to find any
member Of organized labor who does
not see the value of the union label
or who does not advocate its use.
All union men know that the union
label is more than evidence that the
articles built or made are manufac-
tured under working conditions that
are considerably better than exist in
non-union establishments.
! They know that the union label Is
not placed on goods or articles which
have been produced by child slaves
or underpaid women.
They know that it means that the
articles bearing the union label were
made by an organization Of either
men or women who not only demand
some measure Of justice but have
found for more wages, shorter hours
and recognition Of every member OF
their organization.
The union label Is = sign OF the re-
volt OF wage sarners against the mas

WHY THIS INCONSISTENCY

There are some strange enlgmas In
the labor movement, some. things
which absolutely defy analysis, sweep
logic OF the boards and furnish NO
harbor for reason. There are men in
the trade-union ranks whose faith in
the cause is so deep and absolutely
unselfish that hey will give not only
their hard-earned money, but Of their
hearts blood. too, in order that the
principle may grow and prosper, yet
who seldom demand the union label
on things they buy. Such men seem
to be possessed Of feeling of timidity
IN making such demands, and are un-
able to offer any reason for SO doing.
Men will endure all sorts of hard
ships for the cause of unionism dur
ing strike periods and in times Of
peace; they win condemn In most
vigorous fashion the man who takes
the place of striker and the man
who fails to join the union Of his
craft, while at the same time they
ara themselves. clothed In garments
which are the product Of non-union
and, In many instances, convict labor
OF course, it Is useless to attempt to
understand or describe the condition
Of mind which permits such conduct.
It is beyond us.
There are thousands Of workers
idle today who could easily be put to
work By the simple demand for the
union label By those who. In other

I ters of bread, the prodt-takers, who
pay wages to the workers by the
hour. day or week, and who take and
own what the workers make or pro
duce.
The union label is an evidence of
the agelong class struggle.
1t shows that those who made the
articles know that they are only serv-
ants and de not own what they make
or produce.
But 1t shows that they have fought
the masters, the bosses.
The bosses and their assistants, the
retail merchants, who enable them to
get rid Of their surplus products, alike
respect the union label. as nearly all
the very poor and small shop keepers
try to secure goods for sale which
bear the union label.
The store keepers strive to get the
trade Of the working class.
A man in business must receive
profits or go to work for some one
as q wage slave in order to get
enough wages to buy food. clothing
and shelter.

CLARENCE BREWER, OF NEW YORK, APPEALS TO DEPART.

Claims That Recent Antitrust Rul-

 Washing on, Dec. 12-Following the decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that the Hartman merger must be dissolved, final ef- fort VII be made, to bring about a similar dissolution of the New York Central-Nickel Plste-Lake Shore combination under the Sherman anti trust law.
 z Clarence H. Brenner, of New York, has appealed to the Department of Justice to bring action against the New York Central milar to that which resulted in the dissolution of the Hartman merger.
 Benner asserts that he went before the Department last summer with his case and was .old that he would have to wait until the decision in the Har- raman case before he could get any action. :
 y"If the, Hartman merger is dis solved he Says he was told, i've will bring prosecution against the New York Central, as the one laws& cer- tainlyf covers both cases" v !. At the Departments. of.

SPECIAL TRAIN
 IS NOW ASSURED Pine Bluff Football Fans Numbering Over 100 Will
 Accompany Team.
VAN BUREN TEAM FAST
Fan Who Witnessed Game Witt, Tex arkana Recently Says Pine Ruff
 Lads Must Fight Hard.

The required 75 tickets were pur- chased yesterday by football fans to obtain a special train to go to Con- way Saturday and the Pine Bluff dele gaton will number over 100 when it unloads at Conway to witness the last battle of the season for the secondary football championship of the state.
 About 40 high school students will make the trip and encourage the pig skin eladiators with their yells, and the rest of the party will be made up of business men and their wives.
 The team worked light yesterday afternoon and Coach Bassett will permit his men to lay off today to rest up after their extended training per- iod Every member of the squad is in good shape and they are expected to go into the game Saturday with the same rush and vigor that has characterized their playing this sea- son.
 Some real dope was obtained on the Van Buren aggregation yesterday by fan who witnessed the TeXarkana- Van Buren game last Saturday. Ac- cording to this fan the Crawford county lads are fast and well trained and are in the game constantly. One trick they work is to start play the moment the referees whistle sounds and unless their opponents line up quickly after down the Van Buren lads, by this method, rush the ball to- ward the enemy's goal. They start fast, too, says the fan who saw the game, and give fine interference on an end run. M
 However, added the fan, they weigh much less than our men and when lined up agianst the Pine Bluff team I am not of the opinion that they can go too fast for Bassett's backfield. while I'm sure that their defense will not be able to break our interference. One thing sure, they are bunch of scrappers and the game will not be a one-sided affair that the Pine Bluffians have been used to. Though I feel sure that Bassett's men will win and bring the championship home to use, they have got to gc into the game right from the start and keep hammering."

INVALID TREATY
 CRuX OF DISPUTE
ENGLAND LOST RIGHT IN CANAL CASE AT PARTICIPATION OF
 CLAYTON.BULWER TREAT4
Also Relieved of Cost of Fort.fica- tiOns and Maintenance of Troops
 In the Canal Zone.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The Interna- onal News Service correspondent learned today that direct and con- elusive reply will be made by Sec re.ary Knox to the contention of Sir Edward Grey, British minister of foreign affairs, that Great Brita n had received something in exchange for her surrender of the Clayton Bulwer Treaty. This contention is looked upon by the administrat on as the crux of the Panama Canal dis pute.
 MT. Knox will inform Great Brit ain first that Great Britain under the Clayton-Bulwer Trea.y had both rights and duties with reference to any isthmian canal route. Second, that Great Britain surrendered her rights when she agreed 10 the abro- gation of the treaty and transferred her duty as builder of the canal to the United States. Third, that Great Brita n, has already been relieved of liability of $13.OOO,OO0 appropriated for notifications and of $. .0OO, ,O00 an- nually for support of those fCrtifica- tions to protect it effectively from forign aggression.
 It was estimated by General Wood today that the total appropriation by reason of Qualifications are about $13,OOO. Another expert placed the cost of maintaining from 10000 to 15,OOO troops perpetually on the zone at $S,000000.

Servia has been \ the position of the alleged viola or If Austri n honor and therefore has been on the defensive. Ii is believed l in well infomed quarters that Austria nav rave submitted to Servia her demands for restitution, and, i ndlnG them unreasonable Servia has thrown down the gauntlet to her powerful adversary.
 Great excitement prevails in Vienna where the war with Seryia is now regarded as a certainty.
 The first fighting officially repoTt- ed from the Balkans since the gnlne of the pro ocol for an ,armistice, took a)ece today before the besisged town of lJanina. The reports of the eutccme ,are conflicting. Athens re ports that a ba-eslion 0" "Garbaldians occup ed the village of Drisco, near
 Janina, after several hours of fighting in which many Turks were killed OT wounded. Turkish advices say that . the Turks completely annihilated the Greeks, compelling the Greek forces
 to abandon the ege of Janina and
 retreat toward the Adriatic.
 Rumors of every description are in circulation here reg riding the probable division of the European Turkey by the peace plen po,entiaries who are to begin their negotiations at St. James Palace on Monday. A strong feeling prevails among the dip icmatists tha peace will be eventual FE E secured before the delegates leave London. But in some quarters, par ticularly among fnanciers, there are many pessimists to be found. The hessimist insists that Bulgaria VIII demand Adrianople, that Servia W Il demand Durazzo, and that the Mon stenegrins will refuse to give up Scu' tsri and that Greece will hold off fol Janina. Of course, if the Balkan al lies make these demands nd refuse to scale them dawn to meet the Turk Blsh proposals. the peace conference W Il have been in vain.

STOCK EXCHANGE
 SECRETS BARED Syndicating to Inflate CT De. crease Values Regarded
 Legitimate.
T STURGIS IS CHILLED
House Committee OhtAins Remarkable Revelation of Methods Used in
 New York ",Ieney Narket.o

Washington, Dec. 12-From Frank K. Sturgis, chairman of the law com mittee of the New York Stock E,X- change, these remarkable admissions were elicited by Samuel Untermeyer at the Currency and Banking Commit tee investigation of financial condi- lions today.
 That manipulations of stock ly syndicates and pools for the purpose of initiating or depressing prices is re- garded as perfectly legitimate by the Exchange if the market triggers are always careful to pay the commission of the Exchange.
 2.-That brokers deliberately hypo- thecate the stocks of their customers as security for their own (the broker s loans) irrespective of the amount that has been paid on such stock and that as a result of this practice in every one of a dozen failures in the past few years the customers had lost their stock.
 3.-That the New York Stock EX- change sells it's ticker service to the Wesern Union, but will not permit the Western Union to resell to any customer that it does not approve. This seems to be a plain violation of the Sherman antitrust law.
 4.-That the commission, appointed by Governor Hughes to investigate the Stock Exchange, made secret report available to none but the Stock Exchange members.
 5.-That when Stock Exchange house fails, having converted the se- curities of its. customers, the entire value of the members seats must first be used to pay in full it's debts to members of the Stock Exchange be- fore the defrauded customer can get any back on account of his converted stock.
 6.-That the membership of the ltX- change is the same today as it was in 1869 when the Exchange did one-1ll- tieth of the business it does now
 From other witnesses, lncludlns money brokers, it was learned that the New York Stock Exchange is the only money market in the country. fJ. C' Eriesel of Eriesel and Rogers, money brokers. admitted that the limitation of the rate for lending money in Ne" York would stop the drain rom the Western banks of money needed to move the crop and greatly faclll- tate business ill sections ol thc coul'- try outside New York.
 The feud between the Stock Elk change and the Consolidated Exchange was gone into at some length. Mr. Sturgis pressed for an answer by Mr. Untermeyer, admitted that if the con solidated Exchange raised it's commls- sion from one-half to the full rate charged by the New York Stock Ex. :, change it would be healing palm as far as the feud was concerned.
 Just after the hearing adjourned MT. Untermeyer denied emphatlcally that he had been trading In stocAs' as had been charged in New York. MT stureis. who was on the stand all the afternoon, made an unwilling but a fruitful witness.
