BOOSTING UNION LABEL
C|GARETS AND TOBACCO

w. J. Weir, agent for the United
States Tobacco company, manufacture
ers Of union label cigarettes and
smoking tobacco, was visitor in Du-
luth this week drumming up trade.
He was a caller at the office Of The
Labor World. Mr.. Weir is interest
ing union men in tobaccos bearing
the union label. He declares that but
few firms are now using the label and
he. is tremendously interested in hav-
ing his firm continue as a manufac-
turer Of union label tobaccos.
The call. for union label tobaccos
in Duluth is. considered poor. If the
attention of union men is called to the
matter Mr.. Weir believes that sales
here will be greatly stimulated. His
idle Hours cigarettes are strictly
union made. The "Epicure" smoking
tobacco ranks among the leading
brands in the country. Union men,
remember these union made goods:
idle Hours" cigarettes and "Epicure"
smoking tobacco.

URGES CONGRESS

Secretary Of Labor. ". B. VIII
son Writes on Benefits from
U. S. Employment Service.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson has appealed to
congress to create a permanent pub
lie employment service.
There was an appropriation of
$272,000 in the deficiency bill to con-
tinue the United States employment
service, but this was stricken out by
a parliamentary move by Congress-
man Blanton of Texas and now the
service must curtail its activities and
possibly be forced to disband temper
arily.
In his letter Secretary Wilson
says that the placing of workers
should not be left solely. to private
fee-charging agencies. =
"Inasmuch as the interests of the
private fee-charging agencies are
fostered by constant shifting Of work
ers from one employment to another"
he says, they are under constant
temptation to which, unfortunately,
they sometime yield, to encourage
restlessness among laborers and thus
to increase the evils and economic loss
which inhere in a large labor turn

BUILDERS plan
TO ERECT HOMES
Builders Exchange and Archt
teCts' Association viii Pool
Effort and Reduce Cost,

To meet the house shortage in Du-
luth the local Builders Exchange and
the Duluth Architects association
have taken the initiative and are
working on a plan to build the nec-
essary homes. A plan is being devised
which it is claimed will save prospec-
tive builders considerable money F..
w. Armstrong. secretary of the Build
ers' Exchange writes to The Labor
World Of the plan as follows:
Each Of the architects will submit
three or more sketches for houses to
be built from $4,000 to $4,000, and
all our material firms and contractors,
more than hundred in all, will fig
ure these plans, and the quantity will
enable us t obuild cheaper. We will
take the lowest material sub-contract
and work up to the lowest general
contractors figure. which price we
will show on the plan so that the pros
pect1ve builder will know exactly. what
the house will cost. before work is
started. There is only one restriction.
and that is that all material and work
entering into the houses must be from
Duluth, and know you can apprec-
late the advantage it would be to have
the material constructed and handled
by our own Duluth men. The archi-
tect will be Duluth architect instead
of using stock plans from the outside
as many builders are now doing, and
the contractor will also be a. Duluth
contractor.
"While the expense. may be heavy,
the Exchange feels they are roing con-
siderable good for the community in
every respect in the operation Of this
plan, and we will feel compensated by
having the work done by Duluth peo-
pie all around instead of going OF of
town, as some of it does at present"
The plan should give workingmen
an opportunity to. build modern and
enjoyable home at a reasonable price,
considering present costs

LABOR PROTESTS
TO SCHOOL BOARD
Objects to Giving One Firm Mo-
nopoly to Furnish Paint
For School Buildings.

At a meeting of the board of edu-
cation held last Friday evening a let
ter was read from the Duluth Paint
ers' union protesting against the use
of any certain brand of paint on
school buildings and notifying the
board that members of the union
would refuse to handle paint furnished
by or through the Marshall-Wells
company which is unfair to organized
labor:
The letter provoked considerable
discussion and Director Firovid, who
is member of the Journeyman
BARRIERS union, introduced a resolu-
ton supporting the contention of the
Painters union. The resolution was
seconded by Director Coole. The mat
ter went over to give the other men,
bers of the board time to investigate.
BY some hook or crook painting
school board STIMULATING that only
"Hockaday' paint shall be used by
contractors on school work. It is said
that such specification is contrary to
law. Marshall-Wells are the agents
here for the Hockaday paint. Men,
bers Of the board declared that the
specifications provided that the paint
used should be "Hockadays or paint
equally as good
Examination Of the specifications
for the old Washington school building
revealed the fact that the words cor
paint equally as good were omitted.
It may be that the board will now,
order the specifications changed to
comply with the law. Business Agent
Filing Munkeby of the Painters
union attended the meeting and
participated in the discussion.
