are sorry to say that the demand for
Zimmerman egen shoes is no larg-
er, and therefore, we, the employees
of the factory, who are all members
of the Shoe Workers Union, are still
working short time.
To those few of your members who
have bought other makes of Union
Label Shoes we have no complaint
to make, but we positively know that
So per cent of the work shoes sold
by merchants are either non-union
or prison-made, and this is very I'M
fair to all union makers. The
Zimmerman-Degen shoes cost no
more than non-union or prison-made
shoes, and we therefore ask you to
buy them in preference to all others.
By doing this you will be fair to
yourself and other union members,
and also help unionism in general
by insisting on the label.
If union men all over the country
would always insist on label goods,
wonderful amount of strength and
power would be added to unionism,
so much in fact that the American
Federation of Labor could command
at all times from financial or poll
teal sources everything that labor
is justly entitled to; whereas union
men by meekly accepting non-union
goods destroy the very prestige and
power that they must have to secure
their just dues.
Yours truly,
SHOP COMMITTEE OF THE ZIM-
MERMAN-DEGEN SHOE co.
BY O. H. Price, Rec. Sec.
The Legislative Committee report
ed the following resolutions, which
were approved and ordered printed:
Whereas, Mrs. Rena Mooney of
San Francisco, has been declared
mot guilty" of being an active par
ticipant in the Preparedness Day
bomb explosion, by jury of twelve
selected by the court, twelve repre-
of labor organizations and
a women's committee from the wom-
ems clubs of the Bay District of
California, and
Whereas, Charles Fickert, district
attorney for the county and city Of
San Francisco, has brutally announc-
ed that he will try Rena Mooney
again and that he will hang her, and
Whereas, we have good grounds
to suspect that the said attorney has
got to make good to the Chamber Of
Commerce of San Francisco, in order
to get the political plums that have
been offered him for the conviction
of the labor men and women who
have been involved, by means of a
frame up" in the San Francisco
bomb explosion, and
Whereas, Tom Mooney, Warren X.
Billings, Israel Weinberg and Rena
Mooney still lie in Jail while the
gang of witnesses who perjured
themselves in trying to swear away
the lives of these men and women
are at liberty, and
Whereas, organized labor, all over
the country, has dug deep into its
treasures to defend the accused,
and
Whereas, it would appear that the
prosecutors and the men "higher up
are not only trying to hang or i'm
prison these men and women for life
but are determined to deplete the
treasures of labor organizations by
a series of Framed up" prosecutions;
therefore be it
Resolved, that the Everett Trades
Council demands that the authorities
take immediate steps to have all
charges against these men and WON.
en- dropped, and Mrs. Mooney, Tom
Mooney, Israel Weinberg and War.

Resolved, that copy of this res
olution be sent to President Wilson
Congressman Hadley, Governor Stew
