labor union, it is very difficult for the
union to be successful, and sometimes
unions have failed to exist because of the
strength of opposition, particularly in
isolated communities. The way to make
union sentiment strong in community
Is for the different organized trades to
support each other to the very limit of
their ability, both industrially and in a
commercial way when bestowing their
patronage. In this way each union body
and the individual members thereof, is
inspired with confidence that the other
unions and members in his community
are standing shoulder to shoulder with
them, and will therefore WELD its own
support in the highest degree. This is
the type of confidence and cooperation
that ought to exist between the local
unions of different trades in any commu-
nifty and which would go far towards
making the trade union movement 100
per cent. strong and efficient in the ma
ton and in the world.
Notwithstanding these conclusive rea-
sons why every union man should sup
port the union barber shop as well as
all other union labels, there are still
many non-union barber shops in the city.
There are few unions in the city that
have the courage of their convictions
and place fine on any of the members
of their local who are reported having
patronized non-union places or pur-
chased non-union-made goods and the
pity of 1t all is that there are not more
unions that have the courage to do like
wise. 1t would then be unnecessary to
flood the country with communications
calling attention to unfair firms.

THE BARRIERS UNION SHOP CARD.

The different methods of using the
union label are well illustrated by the
above fac-simile of the BARRIERS Union
Shop Card. for while 1t is not practical
to put the union label on every shave
or hair cut, it is practical to put the
union label on the barber shop itself.
thus signifying that the shop is a union
shop and that every man who works in
1t carries union card.
1t should be the desire of every men,
ber of organized labor, when patronizing
a barber shop to know that the man who
is shaving him or cutting his hair or
trimming his whiskers is a fellow union
ist with him and that they are both
engaged in the common cause of better
ing the conditions of the workers and
mankind in general. This is what the
BARRIERS Union Shop Card represents.
1t is not easy to understand how a
union man who prides himself upon his
unionism and processes to despise the
non-union workmen or "scabs," so-called
can patroniZe a non-union barber shop,
restaurant, bar or cafe, or purchase non
union-made hats, shoes, collars. ties, un-
derwear, stockings, coat, vest, pants,
shirts, suspenders or other products OF
union labor.
Still there are many union men who
are thoughtless in their every day life.
rectly concerning their wages, but they
are Indifferent in matters more directly
concerning the wages of fellow workers
in other trades, failing to realize that
the weaknesses of other trades comes
home to roost in the trade of any partic-
ular worker, so that II a barber wears nom
union-made goods, 1t necessarily follows
that more union men will be patronizing
non-union barber shops. not 80 much be-
cause they would be recreant to their
trust or duty as because IL BARRIERS and
others insist on wearing non-union-made
goods such policy both supports and
filled with non-union workmen, who
patronize non-union establishments and
goods of all kinds.
Similarly, If union men patroniZe nom
union barber shops they are withholding
their support, as purchasers, from union
men, and giving 1t to. non-union men,
and by SO doing they are limiting the
sale of union-made products. not only in
their own vicinity but to the extent that
their lack of patronage of union barber
shops tends to weaken the International
Barbers' Union In all It's activities in all
sections of the country, to that extent
barber shops at home interferes with the
sale of union-made goods abroad. They
have not only weakened themselves at
home and the Barbers' Union abroad, but
as the BARRIERS Union is part OF the
labor movement, they have also injured
the labor movement as whole.
The success Of any labor organization
locally must depend to considerable
extent upon the sentiment of the commu-
nifty; as, for example, II the sentiment of
the community is generally hostile to

of Minneapolis, Mimi, pleaded guilty to

stubbornly contested before jury. the
