A UNION LABEL PLEDGE.

carrying the following pledge, which will
be exacted from each of the league mem.

l (name) pledge myself while wearing
the emblem of the Label League:
First-To demand and accept no
goods, when making a purchase, but
those that bear the union label, as far
as possible.
Second-To at all times refuse to pat.
ronize any firm that is unfair to organ

The above action OF the Kansas City
Label League is all right as far as II
goes, but it don't go far enough. The
Denver Union Label League has a law
on its books that states a man must
show the union label on his clothing be
fore he is entitled to a seat in the
league. The Trades Assembly recently
adopted a similar law which is now in
working order and bringing the desired
results.

THE UNION LABEL.

The purchaser is the ultimate EN-.
ployer, for he must create the market
for the product of the worker Every
cent spent by a union man is therefore
spent in the employment of some kind
of labor. If non-union goods be pur-
chased, you employ non-union labor. Not
only that, but by this process the union
man retards the building up of force
in other crafts that will prove of i'm
mense benefit to him in the securing OF
his own demands. When all the money
earned by trade unionists is spent strict
ly for union-made products, think OF the
great force for good that will be hereby
exerted. With the consequent greatly
increased demand for such products, how
much easier it would be to secure fur
ther improved conditions in all crafts
in yours, too, brother unionist, II you
please; how securely each craft would
be entrenched in its position; how many
accessions would come to our ranks from
those thus compelled to recognize the
benefits OF the trade union; to what ex-
tent such a condition would tend to clar-
ify the labor question and bring labor
truly into its own-Ex.

The above article is reproduced for
this department because it has a direct
bearing on the subject-the union label.
1t shows to what length the prison con
tract system goes in competing with free
labor. In every state where this shame
full agreement is entered into with un'
scrupulous contractors free labor must
suffer as the convicts are paid mere
pittance for their labor and the contrac-
tor or manufacturer is therefore able to
undersell the manufacturer who employs
| union labor, or free labor. The only
guarantee the union man has that he is
not purchasing these convict-made goods

means however interruptions, but they
aim to give the laboring man a better
chance in life. They aim to serve tho
whole people, and they are, in fact, n
large proportion OF the people. To at
tempt to criticise them is to criticise the
people as whole. and. moreover, such
criticism usually emanates from the
moneyed or professional classes, whose
purposes and methods will not for one
instance stand comparison with the
ideals and efforts of organized labor.
