WHAT THE LABEL STANDS FOR.

The union label stands for home in
dustry, the protection of the interests
of labor, the protection of just and hon.
orable employers from competition by
cheap labor rivals, fair wages for the
toiler and better trade conditions gen.
orally for both employer and employe.
1t guarantees the worker a better living,
shorter hours, better conditions and
more money for the necessaries of life
the true foundations of general last
ing prosperity. 1t is the trademark of
Industrial prosperity and the symbol of
living wages and humane conditions. Its
presence is the death certificate of slav-
cry and starvation, and it should be
sought and encouraged in every possible
way If the organized toilers themselves
do not support and uplift it, who in the
name of heaven can be looked to to sup
port and uplift it?
1t is the sacred duty of every union
man, woman and sympathizer of either
sex to buy nothing but what bears that
sterling mark OF honest workmanship
and living wages. 1t is the only protec-
ton of the toiler and the foundation of
the entire category of benefits he is de-
irving from being in the union ranks.
Don't forget this when you are again
buying, no matter what.-Ex.

CONGRESSIONAL LABOR ITEMS.

Washington-The Department of La

which passed the house July II. were
ordered favorably reported to the senate
by the committee on education and Ia
bor, on July %. 1912.
The eight-hour provision for postof-
flee clerks and letter carriers. which was
included in the postoffice appropriation
bill, has been favorably reported by the
senate committee. The eighthour regu-
lation will become effective March a..
1913. The senate committee struck out
of the house bill the provision giving
postal employees the right to combine in
labor organizations, and denied the right
to petition congress for redress of their
grievances. An effort will be made on
the floor of the senate to restore these
provisions covering the rights of petit
ton, association, etc.
The locomotive boiler inspection ap-
preparation has been increased by the

The above is fac-simile of the Bak-
cry and Confectionery Workers union
label, which is pasted on the products of
members of the Bakery and Connection
cry Workers union.
Just at this time it 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 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
it that she does not employ nonunion
bakers, which she would do If she in
sists on purchasing non-union-made
bread. 1t 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 a supply always
on hand.
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 it affects
the whole people. But as stated before,
long hours and poor pay does not bring
about these conditions. 1t does not re-
quire 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.
1t is not generally known, but it is
fact that all bakers before being al
lowed to join the union must stand
physical examination and show a 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 it's members.
