the union label movement grows and
develops, the admontion to purchase only
union labeled goods will have a more
comprehensive and permanent response
than any other form Of appeal.
The boycott and unfair lists-are in
dividual in character-the union label
admonition is comprehensive in its ap-
plication. Where the former weapons
are spasmodic in nature, subject to i'll
feeling and strife and friction, the latter
is permanent in character, minus the
element of friction and strife and i'll
feeling engendered in the application of
the former weapons. 1t is not claimed
that the union should or will substitute
the union label for the boycott and un-
fair list. Indeed a substitution would
prove undesirable, even though it were
possible. But it is claimed that with the
union label SO used as to combine these
weapons, specific and permanent results
will follow continually both in a specific
and comprehensive form.
The union label unquestionably excels
in that it aspires to unity and fedora
tion, stimulates education. emphasizes
skill and superior workmanship, pro-
notes trade and defies INSCRIPTIONS
competition, teaches the primal obliga-
tions OF labor to a great common cause,
while steadily winning its way into the
hearts OF the masses in that it symbol
izes human justice and human freedom.

Mother Jones Heals
Breach of Miners

At Thursday afternoons session OF the
United Mine Workers convention in In
dianapolis Mother" Jones stampeded the
delegates when she made an address in
which her unpublished oratory brought the
I.5OO miners to their feet in fury Of
enthusiasm, and which forced Duncan
Mcdonald, chief opponent of the present
administration, to shake hands with
President John p. White. The demon
stration ended the bitterest struggle
which had threatened the miners organ
ization in years, says United Press
dispatch.
The fight followed accusations that the
international officers had been extrava-
CANT and lavish in spending the funds
OF the organization. Mcdonald of Hi
nois had been especially bitter in the at
tacks on President Wlnve.
The convention then called for Adolph
Germer, whose resolution had caused the
trouble, to meet White on the platform
and when Mother" Jones joined in the
call Germer clasped hands with White.
'Mother" Jones then called for vote
on Germer's resolution demanding COM
mittee of three to probe the expenditures
of the administration. There was tre'
mendous volume of voices to sanction
the action of the committee in killing
Germer's resolution. Thus ended the
most serious rupture of the meeting.

ORDINANCE TO PUNISH BooTLEGs.

Commissioner Of Safety Nisbet is con-
sidering the submission of an ordinance
to city council that will enable the city
to prosecute in police court "bootleg-
gers" and other violators of the prohibit
tion law. At present the only ordinance
covering the matter is one prohibiting
the sale of liquor without license. As
there are no licenses this cannot be used
The proposed ordinance would deal with
persons disposing of liquor. The mini
mum fine would be 800, and it is
planned to have the fines go to the po-
lice pension fund.
