TO-DAY BEGINS LABOR
FORWARD MOVEMENT
Central Trades and Labor CouDcf
Works for strengthening
OF Uniona
LABOR LEADERS COME HERE
President Gompers Requested to Sta
ton A. r. of l.. Representative ia
Richmond-May Hold Labor Ex-
hibit Later.

Today begins the Labor Forward
ed by the Richmond Central Trades
and Labor Council ana throughout
the month of May the Richmond
unionists will concentrate their eff
forts upon the strengthening of their
unions and the organizing of new
unions of the workers in the shops
offices and factories of Richmond will
be pushed throughout the period. 1t
was also planned to have great
labor exhibit and festival in the Graya
Armory, but the refusal of Major
Brisht to give permission and the
slowness of red tape officials prevent
ed. The plan was to have an exhibit
of the many union made products
from the factories and shops in Rich
mond which are operated under union
conditions and thus advertise home
industry and aid the manufacturers
and others who stand for union con-
dttions for their employees. 1t Is pos.
stble that this exhibit may be hell
in the fall.
All of the great international unions
have been requested to send organ
unionize some of the plants and fac
tories which are favorable and II IL
now known that quite few we'll
known labor men from all over the
nation will visit Richmond during
May and help their unions. Presi-
dent Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor has been requested
TO station a representative of the "A
F. of 1. here to take active charge
of the work, and this request will be
granted IL practicable.
Ggty Employees Enthusiastic.
One turn that the labor forward
movement has taken brought favor
able comment from many sources and
that Is the organization Of the muntci-
pal employees. These employees have
long been considered At the mercy
of the ring politicians OF the city and
the citizens are viewing with much
delight their proposition to organize
for mutual protection ana improve
ment Of their conditions. The men
themselves are enthusiastic and work
ing hard among their fellow en-
ployes
II number of the Richmond fac
tories which supply their goods to
the market throughout the nation
Will allow their employees TO unionize
the shops, the products of Richmond
will imm ediate1y be given preference
IN the two million homes of the trade
urionists Of America. Union-made to-
hacco and tobacco products from
Richmond are today being sold
throughout the nation to trade union
lists who will not buy non-union to-
bacco, and the success OF several local
tobacco firms can be traced TO this
large and favorable market which de-
mands union made goods,
this program, the labor for
ward movement will benefit both the
employees and the manufacturers OF
Richmond. as we'll az advertise Rich
mond and Richmond union-made
products all over the United States. II
ts expected that the Richmond union
lists Will receive quite a little support
from hitherto neutral or hostile
sources because OF their broad pro-
era m and work for the whole city.
