In an age that quickly fcTgets.
Roxy has come to serve as a week
ly reminder Of sickness and suffer
ing among the men whom the
world cheered and applauded when
they were strong and well some
five years ago.
The Roxy that came on the air
last year broadcasting for the
''peepul" has, since his visit ia
Washington, changed his tactics
and now broadcasts direct to the
sick and wounded sefvie men in
the Government hospitals within

1t has made him a little mora

different to the appeal of humanity must realize more fully now than ever that ln expressing preference for the domestic political announcements of Senators La Toilette and Wheeler that the American Federation of Labor fol- lowed the only course by which 1t could remain true to the lofty ideals and hu- manitarian professions to which 1t has been dedicated
 Partisan political fanaticism may as cribe to labor motives of an unworthy nature. But all not blinded by partisan political prejudices will rightly under stand labor's attitude and procedure in this political campaign and will judge us accordingly.
 In urging the wage earners of Amer lca, its friends and sympathizers and all freedom loving people to support and vote for La Toilette, the American Fed eratlon of Labor is not directly or in directly, openly or covertly supporting or encouraging third political party. Labor's appeal in support of La Fol lette IS not based on party organizatio IS of any kind-its appeal is founded on the promptings of the human heart and the desire to cleanse all political parti .s ot the dollar machnations which have warped the very fibre upon which they were originally founded Labor's sup port of La Toilette is based on the fact that he has ever been willing to risk his political standing by advocating measures to make government more re- sponsive to the will and wishes of the people.

TYPO UNION TO
 INSIST DELEGATES
 HAVE FIVE LABELS
Convention Adopts New Rule Govern ing Right to Seat at
 Convention.


 At the recent convention of the ln- ternational Typographical Union held i'll Toronto, Canada, an amendment was offered to the laws of that organization which would provide that
 No. delegate shall be entitled to a seat i'll the convention whose wearing apparel does not bear at least eight union 1abels.'
 As is necessary under the rules this proposition was referred to the com mittee on laws which reported out a substitute reading as follows:
 No member of subordinate union shall be eligible. to election as dele gate whose wearing apparel does not bear at least five union labels.
 The substitute of the committee was adopted. In speaking upon this prop osition before< the convention Secre- tary-Treasurer Hays, who is president of the Union Label Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor, had the following to say:
 Il arise to support the report of the committee on laws. 1 am surprised that i'll a convention that has two propositions before it asking the ex- ecutive council to finance label cam paigns, there should be any word said against any proposition that looks for the furtherance of the use of the union label
 We expect to do considerable or ganization work in the near future. We must do considerable organization work i'll fact, and one of the best methods of organizing that we have, which is the closest to- us, and most effective, is to have business houses demand the use of the union label on their printing. We always demand that every labor organization use our union label on its printing. Ii, they did not use 1t we would certainly make an aw- full kick, even carrying it to the Amer ican Federation of Labor, to see that the label was used That being true, should we not support the other organ izations in the use of their labels?
 Tt has been said that you should not force members of an organization to do things of this kind. I say that the union label Is one of the best weap- ons that organized labor has to com pei employers to run union establish ments. If the members of labor or ganizations would not spend any of their union-earned money for any goods except those that bore the union label. we would have mighty little trouble in settling wage scales and getting union conditions.
 ri the members of labor organiza- tiOnS will not exert their minds enough to realize what is for their own bene- it, then we must go as far as we can to force them to do so for the benefit of organized labor generally Once more 1 say that 1 rise to support the report of the committee on laws"

 Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 20.-The Union Label Committee of the Amer ican Federation of Labor in charge of the campaign to push union label products, has discovered that statute enacted by the Indiana assembly in 1901 is a good weapon to fight prison made goods in this state.
 The law provides that all goods made in prisons must bear the label prison made" If offered for sale within the confines of the state. A further pro vision requires payment of a license fee of $500 by a merchant who sells prison-nade goods.
