letter:
Holyoke, Mass, May II, 1920.
Mr.. A. w. Stanley, Labor Temple,
Everett Wash.
Dear Sir and Bro:
We wish to call to your attention,
and the attention of all affiliated
unions, that it is now possible to OBJ
tain many different grades of bond
ledger, mimeograph, writing and
book papers, in each sheet Of which
the union watermark Of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Papermaktrs
is shown.
There is no longer any sort of rea-
sonable excuse for buying, using, or
having printing done on unwater-
marked or non-union papers. 1t is
possible to get the widest range Of
grades in various lines for the first
time. We are enclosing samples of
our biggest selling bonds. The IS"
Bond is carried in stock by practical
ly all of the dealers named on the
back of the folder.
Will you please urge your dele
gates to bring the matter up at
their meetings, and see that here
after only union watermarked paper
is used by them.
We ask that the central body also
pass a motion declaring for the con-
sistent use of union watermarked pa
per for all their work. Further, we
would ask that, either through COM
mittee or letter, your organization
authorize call to be made upon
local politicians and others friendly
to labor, to use union watermarked
papers hereafter.
We have made it easy for your
Pl lhCS4 w SCI paper D
Accept no excuse for not using them.
Some cities have had ordinances
introduced into the city government
calling for the use of union water
marked paper for all printed matter,
blank books, etc, etc. Will your or
ganization cooperate by having this
done in your city?
AS this concern is run by union
men, who have been for years active
workers in the cause of trade union
ism-and still are-they feel they
have righ to expect that real ac-
tion will be forthcoming upon the
reading of this letter. May we hear
from you as to what action is taken :?
If there is anything we can do to
help, let US know.
Fraternally yours,
ALDEN PAPER co.
