THE UNION LABEL.

Your attention, Mister Union Man, don't
you know the reason why
You do not get the Union Label on every
article you buy?
Because you do not ask for it, as every
Union man should do.
So now, Mister Union Man, l will ex-
plain to you.
Don't you know the Union Label is the
symbol of your trade?
And the articles that have it on, you
know are union-made;
lit stands for higher wages, and shorter
hours, too.
So now, Brother Unionist, demand them,
it's your duty to.
The Hat you wear upon your head, the
Shoes upon your feet,
Also the Shirt upon your back, the Col
lars and Necktie SO neat,
And even the Collar and Cuff Buttons,
should have the label on;
You'll have to show the Union Label of
the Garment Workers strong.
Demand the Buttons, Blue and Green,
of the Bartenders' and Walters
trade,
And see that the BARRIERS Label is in
the shop where you get shaved;
The Bakers Label should be upon the
bread you eat;
See that the Clerks are Union Clerks,
and the place you buy your meat.
iCigarmakers and Tobacco Workers have
Blue Label that is quite strong,
On Cigars, Tobacco and Cigarettes-you
should push it along.
Also the Printer has Union Label that
looks very nice;
Demand it on your printing. there's no
difference in the price.
There's the Plumber, Painter, Timer
don't forget these three;
Carpenters, Lathers, Plasterers' and
Bricklayers' Union Card should
And don't forget the Steamfitters, Hod
Carriers, Building Laborers, too,
For to forget their Union Card, 1t GER
tainly wouldn't do.
See that the Blacksmith and Teamster
are also union men,
Be sure and patronize these boys, when
you have work now and then;
And for to be a union man, unionism
teaches to
Always do unto others as you wish them
to do to you.
So now decide hereafter, are you not a
union man;
And buy only Union Label goods, and do
everything you can
To advocate the Label, as your principle
teaches to.
So now, Brother Unionists, wishing sue
cess to you.

A Labor day orator could make a tell
ing address by pointing to the downfall
OF the Indians OF North America. There
never was a time when the lesson which
the Indians teach was more necessary
than it is today. Four hundred years
ago there was not white man living il.
America. The Indians We're the owners
and masters OF the whole continent. To-
day all who remain of the great tribes
are penned up in narrow strips of land
in the western states, without power, in
fiuence, or the right of self-government.
The Indians had America and lost it,
Why? Because they were not intelligent
enough to organize a national fedora
ton. There were. millions of Indians.
They were good lighters. No white race
possessed more courage. United. they
could have defeated any fleet that
Europe could have sent across the
ocean. But they could not agree among
themselves. 1t has been estimated that
the Indians spoke over $500 different
languages and five times as many dia-
lects. This plainly proves that the motto
of the Indians was Every tribe for it
self"
If the Indians had acted together they
might have held the country at least for
several hundred years longer. and then
kept a large part Of the West for their
own use, just as the Mexicans today
have their own land. But they were bao
unionists. II the A1gonquins went on
strike against the whites, the Objibways
became "scabs" and Joined the whites.
When the Iroquois got wiser and formed
a confederacy, the smaller tribes refused
to join 1t and did their best to break 1t
lup. because they were jealous of its
strength.

TRIBUTE TO PRINTERS.
High Need of Praise Bestowed on Typos
by Noted Newspaper.


or all skilled craftsmen the present
day printers are unquestionably at the
head in individual intelligence and in
collective conservatism and fairness in
their dealings with their employers.
Their standard of unionism Is probably
higher than that OF any other labor Or
ganization, and for that reason there is
less friction between employe and en-
ployer than is the case probably with
any other branch Of organized labor. In
dividual instances of unfairness are uni
formly condemned by the national and
international authorities, and the word"
typographical union comes about as near
being as good as its bond" as that OF
any in the whole realm of organized
labor.
The printer of today follows trade
that is not very far from a profession.
1t would be reflection upon his intelli-
gence IL he did not avail himself Of the
educational opportunities that are inher-
ent and inescapable in the course OF his
duties. The trade itself has progressed
at very rapid rate, and the mechanical
status Of the newspaper Of today is as
far superior to that Of the paper OF
twenty-five years ago as is the linotype
compositor OF today superior to the wan
dering print" of the good old days. The
peripatetic Character" who has fur
nished uncounted columns Of myth and
fable, anecdote and yarn has, for the
most part, passed away, and the modern
printer is not the more or less merry
roysterer who was wont to drift In on
the brakebeam and drift out In the Side
door Pullman" The modern printer is
sober. industrious and gentlemanly. In
this world his is the Immortality that
belongs to those who live in fellow men
enlightened and made better for their
living. and as for the next world his
