\ number of discussions and sug-
gestions we're made under Good and
Welfare, and a favorable report
made as TO the possible contempla-
ton Of a labor temple.
"Under Cover"
Two of the largest job printing es.
Establishments in 81. Louis are now
operating under union conditions
but Of course "under cover in the
eyes of the open shoppers and the
public. Both shops were closed shops
before May /, 1871, and no doubt
knew what TO expect Of the "Ameri-
can" plan before they decided TO
change. One Is never too old to
learn.
What is true of the st. Louis shops
is gradually coming TO light locally
/ One proprietor Is quoted as saying
recently. Il wish now had not
agreed to abide by the plan out
lined by Master Printers of the Twin
Cities last May am losing money
every day
Perhaps this man is losing money
we know Of hundreds of dollars
worth of printing taken to shops that
have use for the label. One would
besurprised TO know the amount of
printing in round figures placed in
fair shops this winter We know of
one theatre program, with two 9th
ers promised; candidate printing, di-
rectories, automobile monthly, NUM-
Der Of commercial jobs, and last but
not least, vast quantities of state
work.
As further proof that union shops
are advancing, there are today posi-
tons open for three floor men and
one book binder in the Twin Cities,
and if business continues to grow
more help must be placed in these
shops.
But still we have the same num-
her Of open shops now as we had
last May, but it is hoped agreements
can be made with all of them soon TO
place the label in every shop.
Watch Your Step
Recently one of the candidates for
sheriff was told by nm open shopper
Of Champaign that he could pat the
union label on his work. However,
we have not been able to find said
label on printing turned out by this
shop, and know positively of one open
shopper who has misrepresented the
case. No doubt they would like TO
have the label in this shop, as well
as others, but when the time comes
and they show their willingness, the
Typographical Union will announce
where the emblem of fairness can be
secured. Until this announcement Is
properly made-"wateh your step"
