The Emblems of Labor.
Fellow Trade Unionists, my report is
necessarily long, because so many sub
jects have required mention in it, and
I regret that I have been compelled to
cannot close without again calling at
tention to the labels of the various
unions, the working shop and store
cards, and the monthly service buttons
of some OF the crafts, which stand for
ization. Volumes have been spoken and
written in their favor and fortunes
have been spent In promoting their In
duence and usefulness everywhere. Yet
the great rank and file Of the labor
movement seems to realize their value
but vaguely and feeb1y. If the men and
women Of union labor would but see
them in their full force and use their:
emblems, Che struggle OF organized Ia
Dor In the Industrial field would be
nearly If not entirely over. ~'~,
The union label and other enblen1s
of our movement are but the. peace--
full tokens which represent the basis of
our hopes for continued advancement
and success. Union labor's broad edu
cational endeavors; the spirit OF moral
ter sanitary conditions for>the shop, the
factory, the mill and the mine; It's
work In behalf of PRESERVE "a. = .,Es'E
Of the workers. for the shorter work
day, the restriction of child labor ara
ards Of living for the sons and daugh-
ters of toil--these are. all embodied In
the suggestions made by the emblems
of labor. #.s>&'.. - ,, y -
