Union Label
 Products Foe of
 Anti-Union Shop

The California state federation of la bor issues list of 20 employers who re- fuse to operate their plants for wages, hours and working rules regarded as fair by organized labor.
 The state federation policy Is that the purchasing power of trade union workers is one of the most efficient fac tors to maintain union shop conditions where established by maintaining a steady demand for commodities manu- factured under union wages, hours and working rules.
 It is also one of the most effective persuasive elements organized labor has to induce anti-union manufacturers to permit the organization of their workers n a trade union basis. .,
 The anti-union employer only exists as an economic factor because there are workers so lax i'll their duty to labor and humanity as to buy commodities produced under the tyranny of anti union shop dictatorships.
 A lessened demand for anti-union products will mighty soon bring anti union employers to a sense of their du- ty as American citizens.
 Trade union workers and their fami- lies can live well by consuming and us- ing nothing but union trade made pro- ducts.

 The dockers' walkout was followed by the grain men and other quay workers, who refused to load and un- load ships, The carters joined the protest.
 Tn Cork, simultaneously with the attack on the port workers, the mas ter carriers, master builders, and wholesale and retain merchants made drastic wage cuts, hitting the clerks vith reductions running from 40 per cent for unskilled to 25 per cent for skilled workers.
 Eleven thousand workers walked out on August 20, the day the wage cut became effective, closing down I5z concerns. The employers ca1cu- lated the union funds would be speed lily exhausted and that surrender Wculd follow starvation. The employ- of resistance.

THE PALACE.

Singers Midgets the worlds greatest array of miniature entertain CTS, concerning whose remarkable achievements paeans of praise have been sung in this country and Eu- rope, are announced as the attrac- ton extraordinary at the Palace Theatre next week This means that traction and the highest salaried head liner in all vaudeville will lead two big bills at the Palace.
 In the coming of Singers Midgets loca ltheatre goers are offered the op- portunlty of viewing what IS by all odds the most unique production, not only of vaudeville but in the entire field of stage amusement The act is the wonder of the theatrical world and all indications point that 1t will hold it's leadership for years to come.
 This wonder. act is presented by s diminutive men and women, whose height ranges from R8 to 3o inches and whose weights ruin from e8 to Go pounds The tiny stars are in turn assisted by herd of baby elephants, 90 tiny horses, 30 highly trained hunt ing dogs, several performing monkeys, birds and performing pig.
 Practically every line of amusement known to the stage is included in the program presented by these versatile people. There are circus stunts, musi- cal comedy, lively, tuneful and clev- erly done, vaudeville, the drama, grand opera6 riding from the smooth est and classiest of bareback eques- trianism to the daring wild west stunts, there are gymnasts and ath- 1etic midgets, there are male soft shoe dancers and female ballet girls whose toes twinkle in perfect rhythm to the music of the worlds tiniest jazz band The truth is when theatre goer views a performance of the Singer Midgets he sees everything the stage has to offer and sees 1t done with e1everness and finish that are aston ishing.
 Ned Wayburn, foremost director of musical spectacles, staged the produc- tion, while Joseph Urban, first of scenic artists, designed and executed the elaborate settings.

fit had taken some of it's white stock and written invita- tions to the striking unions, stating that the company would deal fairly with the representa- tives of the unions-then it might have avoided some of it's troubles.
 If the stockholders had paid as much in increased wages as they now will pay in lawyers fees-the company would prob ably have escaped a receiver ship.
 If the American Writing Pape rCompany did not know these things, it has learned, perhaps, by now, that 1t pays to play squarely with organized labor.
