The UNION LABEL
A Factor In. Collective Bar
gaining

One of the big things developed by
the war as a stabilizer of industrial
conditions was the need of more ex-
tended adoption Of the principle of
collective bargaining.
The War Labor Board which was
created by proclamation of the Presi
dent, for the purpose of adjusting dis
putes in war industries, declared as
its first principle the right of workers
to organize in trade unions and to
bargain collectively through chosen
representatives is recognized and af-
firmed. This right shall not be de-
MED, abridged, or interfered with by
the employers in any manner whatso-
ever"
The use of union label, shop card
or working button to designate the
product of trade unionists or their
employment in an establishment is
predicated upon trade agreement,
carrying with it the collective bargain
ing principle, with all that this i'm
plies.
When an appeal is made to give
preference to the purchaser of com
modities bearing the union label or a
button worn to distinguish member
ship in a trade union, it is request
to recognize a fundamental principle
of the trade union movement, the
trade agreement.
Under the trade agreement the
workers have a full and equal oppor-
tunity to regulate their hours of labor
and wage scale, as except this. meas
ure of justice is accorded them, there
can be no union label, shop card or
button agreement with any employer.
Justice and equity are therefore
guaranteed to those who use their
purchasing power in favor of the
trade agreement, as exemplifed by
the Union Label, shop card or working
button, as we'll as high class workman
ship and humane treatment, and in
addition to this is the satisfaction of
knowing that a consistent demand for

Burleson Scored
Boston Newspaper Pays Re
spects To Postal Chief.

Boston, Responsibility for the
strike of telephone girls and electri-
cal workers that tied up business in
this section of the country is laid at
the door of Postmaster General Bur-
leson by the Boston Evening Record.
In an editorial entitled "The Casual
Mr.. Burleson." that paper says:
What Mr.. Burleson appears inca
pable of understanding is that there is
deep-seated and ineradicable hos
tility towards his method of exerting
government control over the telephone
system. What he fails to compre-
hend is that in it's present status this
strike is not simply a strike for high
er wages, but is a protest against his
inefficient and exasperating method
of treating such questions.
''The attitude of the telephone oper-
ators is that they have been handed
promises and have encountered vexa-
tions and delays for three months,
and that they are not interested in
any promises of continuance of pre-
cisely those conditions against which
they have made their stand. Presum-
ably if Mr.. Burleson should tell the
operators that their schedules for
higher wages would be Immediately
accepted, they would return to the
switchboards. Mr.. Burleson offers
nothing of the kind The striking op-
orators are quite logical in assuming,
then, that his promise of further con-
sideration implies no such granting of
their demands, but on the contrary,
may lead to a modification or COM
plete denial of them.
"Mr. Burleson throughout the situa-
tion-which began to develop three
months ago-has shown an amazing
lack of understanding and an exas-
perating inability to grasp the fact
that by dawdling and shifting, the
convenience and saftey of this city,
and other cities, was being imperilled.
His course throughout has been fu-
tile and it has produced disaster. His
latest action is consistently blunder-

hour plant, will put Hamilton on the
map as the most thorough eight-hour
town in the country. This will mean
much to Hamilton, for with ideal
working conditions the highest class
ed, best skilled and most desirable
workmen in the country will be drawn
here.
Much credit is due the Hooven,
Owens Rentschler company and the
Hamilton Foundry company for the
initiative taken in this movement. But
while we are at it let's give credit
to whom credit is really due. To
Gordon S. Rentschler is really due the
credit for the establishment of the
eight-hour day and the two big plants
of which he is the real head. Mr..
Rentschler has dreams of making this,
his home town where he was born,
reared and educated, the best work
ingman's town in the country. The
eight-hour system adopted in the two
big plants of which he is the real
head, is but the first step taken to
bring about the conditions of which
he dreams. In his interview with
The Press representative the other
day he expressed many ideas and
thoughts which he has in mind (Which
he modestly requested be not pub
lished) and which if carried out, will
go far toward the betterment of the
workingman's conditions in Hamilton.
Let US hope that all these thoughts
and ideas will soon be realized.
With two such men as Gordon S.
Rentschler and Henry Ford, whose
thoughts seem to be for the better
ment of mankind, at the head of two
plants in which it is expected to en-
ploy thousands of men, Hamilton
workers are to be congratulated on
the outlook for the future so far as
shop conditions are concerned.

GOMPERs IMPROVING

1t is very gratifying to the public
at large to know that the injuries re-
ceived by Samuel Gompers in an ac-
cident two weeks ago are not as seri-
Gus as at first feared they would
prove to be. The news first flashed out
was very disquieting to his many
friends everywhere and especially to
organized labor which realizes his
worth to its cause.
Because of his age it was at first
feared that his injuries whold prove
fatal and it was realized that his death
at this time would be a severe blow to
labor, in fact it would be public
calamity. 1t is a pleasure at this
writing to state that Mr. Gompers is
on fair way to recovery and an
early return to his official duties,
looking to labor's interests.

THE UNION LABEL AND REAL
COOPER ALTON.

COOPERATION.
The emulation of the splendid spirit
of cooperation which was displayed on
all sides in carrying on industrial and
other activities to beat the Hun in
the Great World War, should convey
lasting lesson to all trade unionists
The trade-union movement is in its
very essence, comprehensive plan of
cooperation, radiating as it does from
local unions through central trades
councils, State Federations of Labor
and international Unions into the
American Federation of Labor.
One of the great departments of the
American Federation of Labor is that
which has for its object the education
of the workers to the great factor they
should be to correct many existing in
dustrial evils and injustices through
concentration of their purchasing
power, the Union Label Trades De-
partment.
OF what avail is it to denounce un-
fair employers by resolutions, which
so often fail of their object for no
other reason than our refusal to with
hold our patronage from them. The
very firms and corporations we seek
to have treat their employees fairly by
exposing unfairness on the one hand
we make arrogant by purchasing their
output with money earned under union
conditions, on the other hand.
This is not cooperation, but it is in
consistency almost criminal, and until
we all come right down to "brass
tacks" and become union members in
| fact as well as in name by cooperating
with our fellows in every other trade,
through the discriminating power of
purchase, we are not going to make
any noticeable nor permanent prog
ress.
Demand the union label, shop card
and working button at all times, for
no trade unionist has any more moral
right to purchase non-union and sweat
shop goods than he has to take the
place of fellow-worker on strike for
better conditions.
Be real union man and genuine CO.
operator by always demanding the
union label, shop card and working
button.
