A communication was received
from the United Garment Workers

Alshuler Manufacturing Company
had been placed on the fair list
The letter follows:
New York, Aug. 0, 1921.
Mr.. o. F. Wefferling,
Labor Temple,
Everett, Wash.
Dear Mr.. Wefferling:
We are very much pleased to in
form members of Organized Labor,
that the strike of our members in
Racine, Wisconsin, against the AL
shuler Manufacturing Company,
has been settled.
The management of this firm
declared for a non-union shop and
their employees Immediately went
on strike and continued out for
period of four months. The strike
was finally settled with the firm
signing new agreement with the
local union affiliated with the
United Garment Workers of Amer
lea. All the non-union employees
discharged and our members were
taken back in body.
We are pleased to say that the
factory is now operating under un-
ion conditions, and all our members
are employed. All the firms gar
ments are made under union con-
ditions and bear the label of the
United Garment Workers of Amer
lea.
The Charles Alshuler Manufac-
turing Company makes one of the
best union label shirts in the mar
llet, and will continue to manufac-
ture this high grade shirt bearing
our label
We, therefore, trust that &lem-
bers of Organized Labor will ask
for the Alshuler shirt, and inform
their dealers and friends that the
Charles Alshuler Manufacturing
Company is again fair to Organ
lied Labor.
With best wishes, | remain
Fraternally yours,
B. A. LARGER,
General Secretary,
United Garment Workers of
America.
Stay Away from Great Falls
The Building Trades Council of
| oil / L,
following announcement:
Great Falls, Mont,
July 20, 1921.
To all Locals and Central Bodies:
STAY AWAY FROM GREAT
FALLS, MONTANA. The Associ-
ated Industries and the Employers
Associations are endeavoring to es-
tablish the american" plan in this
city. AS a result, the Building
Trades crafts and others are locked
out.
The policy of these infamous as
sociations is to lay off the laborers
until they are in a state of star
vatlon, so as to compel them to
scab on their craftsmen.
The city employees were on a
strike for over seven weeks, and
went back to work at the request
of an arbitration board who later
gave them a deal from the bottom
of the deck, or a dollar a day re-
duction.
The Building Trades have been
locked out since the first of July
and there is no work in progress,
and if the trouble was settled there
still would be no work except some
minor repairing.
Beware of advertisements in the
papers, asking for farm labor, for
they only camouflage a call for
scabs. Beware also of the living
costs, published as low in this city.
Great Falls is the center of the
high living costs in the Northwest
ern States.
Brothers, stay away from this
war zone, for your own good and
our welfare. REMEMBER, the
name is GREAT FALLS, MONT.
(Signed) w. H. BLAKE,
Secretary.
