Another Labor TempIe.

The Labor temple in Bellingham,
Wash, is about ready for dedication.
The building will represent an invest
ment of about $4,000 and will be open
ed with only $4,000 of Indebtedness.
The remarkable feature of the under
taking is that on July l last year the
proposition Of building labor temple
was broached without cent on hand,
and the success of the workers in this
instance is inspiring them to greater
effort

One of the worst features of .
Indifference Of union men to ,
their duty to patronize the prod
uct of union labor when spend .
ing their own wages is the ex- !
ample and proof it affords to the .
merchant of the insincerity of :
the labor man. Why should any ,
merchant carry union made :
goods If he knows that rs per .
cent of the union members pay
no attention to the union label?
We mention this percentage by :
way Of Illustration, not meaning ,
to say that there are so few as ;
twenty-five union men in hun .
dred that buy union made goods. ;
II the figures were reversed,
however, and the merchant :
should realize that he must have
union made goods or lose sales :
to seventy-fve in a hundred
members OF organized labor he :
would respect that movement
and carry more union made :
goods because of that respect
