LABELS ORIGIN.
Union Emblem an American Pro
duct Dating Back to 1874.

The union label or union stamp is
strictly American in its origin. It was
born in the city of San Francisco, Cal,
in the year 1874, and to the cigar
makers belongs the credit for first hav-
ing used the label successfully.
During sand lot agitation for Chi
nese exclusion in San Francisco, a
manufacturer of cigars attempted to
employ Chinese~1abor The trades I'M
ionists waged a determined and intel
hgent resistance, and assured of public
patronage the question arose as to how
the consumer might discriminate be-
tween the union made cigar and the
rat shop" filthy made collie product.
At first a white label was used, placed
upon all boxes of cigars made by white
men, signifying that those boxes of
cigars bearing the white label were made
by white men as against the yellow of
the Orient
In the following year, during strike
of cigarmakers in St. Louis, label
was printed in red ink, and at their
next convention, held in Chicago in the
year 1880, the reds and whites became
embroiled in a controversy as to wheth-
er they should adopt the white label or
the red label as their universal label,
when, as the story goes, one of their
ready witted delegates arose and shout
ed: "Mr. Chairman, what's the use of
squabb1ing over the color of the label?
Let's take the other color of the flag
and adopt a blue label" And that's
the way the blue label of the cigar
makers was given birth.
Other organizations, noticing the sue
cess of the cigarmakers, set about adopt
ing a label of their craft, and in the
year 1885 the hatters' label appeared,
the following year the garment work
ers', in 1881 the horseshoers', shoe
makers, and iron molders' label ap-
peared, and so on down the line until
now practically every organization
working as a manufacturing craft has
adopted label of its craft.
Don't be just card man; be real
union man by demanding the union
label on goods that you purchase; de-
mand the union label, the union card
and the union button wherever it can
be produced,

AND THE GOVERNMENT?
No Action Against Restriction Of
Production on Big Scale.

Mr.. Wood president of the Ameri-
can Wooden Company, closed up his
mills. They were his mills, so no one
had the right to complain. Forty
thousand lost their jobs, 100000 souls
were threatened with starvation.
The workers are people of all ma
tons: Italians, French-Canadians,
Lithuanians, Poles, Syrians and Franco
Be1gians. Of course, patriotic Ameri-
cans call them ALIENS" but they are
just the right people to produce $43,
100000 profits for the American Wool
en- Company in three years.
1t is tough enough that 100000 people
had to look somewhere else for work
and bread But what about the gov
eminent?
The government told us that pro
duction" was the need of the hour.
Production and more productioni And
Mr. Wood shut down his mills.
Was it because there was an over
production of clothing? If that were
the case, clothes ought to have been
cheap instead of being out of reach Of
the working class. Was it because there
was no wool? The storehouses are
piled high with wool
Then what was the reason?
Mr. Wood said he was not satisfied
with the profits. So he cut down his
expenses and boosted prices.
And the government?
If the workers "conspire" to keep
wages up by striking, they go to jail.
If they unite to better their condition,
the Lever act knocks them on the head.
But wool and the government? That's
different.

Reasons for the
Housing Shortage

The housing situation throughout the
country is serious. For some reason
there is lack of activity in building
Various explanations are being offered,
but here are a few facts which may
shed light on the situation:
A committee of the New York 1egis-
lature has been investigating the So
called building combine" and accord
ing to the chairman, Senator Charles c.
Lockwood, enough evidence has been
secured to show that the combine is not
myth, but powerful organization
which dominates building operations in
Greater New York and other congested
districts.
Building material dealers and man.

ing materials" says the senator. MANY

river are manufacturing 20 per cent.
profits are as great, if not greater, than
ever before.
There has been practically no in
crease in the wages Of brickyard en-
p1oyes, but the price of brick has scared
from S. to $50.
That is an interesting fact for Sen

telling us every day that what is needed
is more production" by labor.
Conditions in the brick industry are
not exceptional, Senator Lockwood
assures us.
Manufacturers and dealers, he asserts,
have divided up the country, very much
as Caesar divided Gau1 and they have
fixed prices for each zone.
"It doesn't make any difference how
much you buy" says Senator Lock-
wood, you nuts pay the same price
and you must pay not only the manu-
facturers' profit but the dealers profit
If GU buy direct from the manufactures
he will collect the dealers share and
turn it over to him"
Senator Lockwood suggests a Fed
eral investigation, but what is needed
is action. If organized labor were to
attempt such a ho1d-up how long would
it take Attorney General Palmer to
assemble a Federal grand jury and be-
gin proceedings?
In view of the fact that organized
employers are the guilty parties, what
will he do?-Labor

A New York reporter in writing his
account of the convention of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers Associa-
ton, bewails the fact that his way the
only cotton shirt among the hundreds
present. We can sympathize with the
poor scribe, but wasn't he also the only
one present minus union card? In
union there is strength to wear silk
shirts.
At the recent convention in Cleve-
land, Ohio, of the International Broth
erhood of Teamstess, it was voted to
appropriate fund of 100000 to fight
the open shop. That looks like business
and a fight to the finish in prospect.
Perhaps the teamsters have an inspi-
ration that the open shop movement
is a more serious proposition than some
of the high brow unions" will admit
and apparently are unconcerned about
I see by the papers that about ali the
master minds" of the country are
crooks. There are master minds of
bond swindles, master minds in the
baseball frame-ups and master minds in
coal deals, food speculations and what
not. And, alas and a1ack, there seem
to. be no master minds to outwit the
profteerers and the general run of
thieves in high places.
New Haven papers are giving reports
of socialist meetings front page space.
Pretty soon they'll admit editoria1ly
that there's something to the creed be-
sides dividing up all the property in the
land among the greedy workingmen.
If you pay over S. for hat you will
have to also pay war tax. Sounds
funny but it's SO, and the longer you
live the more you'll find out about the
taxation business. Then, if you live
long enough, you'll realize that about
all your living for is to work and pay
taxes. Strange as it may seem, many
people are heavy tax payers and never
realize it, and it's because they pay in
drib1ets and fail to realize the grand
total.
New Haven 1and1ady of a rooming
house raised the rent of rooms last
week dollar each. Her excuse was
that her landlord had raised the house
rent because he had been assessed for
higher taxes. Sift it all back and you
see whereby the roomers are paying
the taxes in toto. Simple enough, yet
the boobs who pay the freight think
that the only tax they pay is the poll
tax. Jones of Binghampton advertised
broadcast that, "Jones-he pays the
freight" and gdt rich selling scales

scales paid the freight.

GOOD ENOUGH!

The Department of Commerce at
Washington has placed on exhibition
paper clothing and other paper articles
made in Austria. One paper working
mans suit is quoted at IS cents in
Uncle Sans currency, while another
sells for IS cents. And then there is
another one for regular sports that is
made of 40 per cent. paper and retails
at SOS in regular money. The gar
ments are said to be washable. When
these are introduced there will be no
excuse for the demand of the working
man for higher wages. With adulter-
ated foods and paper clothing what
more can a workingman ask!

FACTS ABOUT THE PHILIPPINET

English is taught exclusively in the
Philippine public schools. Two mill
lion natives now speak English fluent
ly, and there are 100000 English
speaking children in the public schools.
1t is destined to be the national Ian
guage.
The Connecticut labor press. (New Haven, Conn.) 191?-1921, 1920-10-16

Seventy per cent Of the Inhabitants
of the Philippines over ten years Of
age, according to census just COM
pleted, are Lterate. This is a higher
percentage of literacy than that of any
South American country, higher than
that of Spain and higher than that Of
any of the new republics Of Europe
whose independence is being guaran-
teed by the Allies.
The Connecticut labor press. (New Haven, Conn.) 191?-1921, 1920-10-16

The Filipino people are unanimous
in their desire for independence.
Whenever they are called upon to de-
posit their ballots they have always
ratified this aspira ton. At every ses-
sion before adjournment their repre-
sentatives in the Legislature reiterate
their faith in the principles of liberty
and the independence of the Filipino
people.
The Connecticut labor press. (New Haven, Conn.) 191?-1921, 1920-10-16

The Filipinos declare they have no
grudge or grievance against the Amer
lean people. Their appeal is accom-
panied by message of friendship and
gratitude for all that America has done
for them. They point out that Uncle
Sam gave independence to Cuba, and
they hope that they, too, will receive
that boon without which, they declare,
no civilized and patriotic people can
enjoy the maximum Of happiness and

of the workingman who once donned a
plug hat 1t was in a small town and
nobody had ever been seen there sport

day the worker who, by the way, was
printer, got lit up with the idea that
nobody had better right to wear silk

a plug hat and marched proudly down
the main street. The people gazed on
the printer with popping eyes and the
more shocked called him brazen
wretch and others, more charitably in
clined, said he must be crazy. But no
body attempted bodily harm to the
printer until he entered the print shop
where he worked. There the printers
rose en- masse, and with a consuming
wrath they scalped him of his head piece
and smashed it as fiat as pancake.
