follows:
Washington, D. c., July 80, 1920
Mr.. o. F. Wefferling, Labor Temple,
Everett, Wash.
Dear Mr.. Wefferling: 1t should be
the aim and ambition of every trades
unionist to make the demonstration
on Monday, September 9th, in his
city the most harmonious and sue
cessful ever held This can be ac-
complished by hearty cooperation
with the committee having the af-
fair in charge.
There should be no jealousy nor
evidence of Stacking" displayed by
any one. Non-unionists should not
be permitted to secure financial or
other advantage through thoughtless
or ill-advised action on the part of
any of its members.
Through solidarity and unity in
our ranks, our success and progress
have been attained and through
unity only can success and prog
ress be maintained. AS we march
behind and are inspired by the har-
mony produced by union musicians,
we should not disturb that harmony
by being clothed in non-union apparel
of any kind.
From hat to shoes, all wearing
apparel should bear the union label.
All banners, badges, etc, should
bear the union label. In doing this
we best emphasize our loyalty to
the cause we all hold SO dear.
No better time to start "boost-
ing" campaign for spending money
earned under union conditions only
for the products of unian labor
could be selected than Labor Day.
The Secretary of the Union Label
League in your city will be glad to
aid you in securing union labeled
goods for Labor Day or any other
occasion. If there is no Label
League in your city, the Union Label
Trades Department of the American
Federation of Labor will be pleased
to furnish this information.
With best wishes, l am,
Fraternally yours,
JOHN j. MANNING,
Secretary Treasurer,
Union Label Trades Department.
