| Ii came before the Union Label League
last Friday evening that members of or
ganized labor were having trouble in Sc
curing the Underhill overall at the store
of the May company. The belief was
expressed tnat the May company was
not pushing the overall of the Bayly-
Underhil company. The United Labor
Bulletin has taken the pains to inquire
into the matter from Manager Meade of
the May company store. MIR. Meade says
that the May company purchases more
overalls of the Underhlll company than
any other store in Denver. He says
that it is the desire of his company TO
see the Underhin overall handled ex-
clusively. but on account of demand for
other garments it becomes necessary to
handle the garments demanded Mr..
Meade says that the store may run short
on sizes. on account of the way it is nee
essary to order and also on account of
the way the garments are manufactured.
This is responsible for the shortage at
/ times of certain sizes The May com
pany makes the Underhill overall it's
leader. They have the largest stock in
| Denver.
