The best way 10 fight the "phlan-

planned by the anti-union Ward bread
interests is 10 demand the union label
on all bakery products, says The
Bakers journal, official organ Of the
Bakery and Confectionery Workers
International Union of America. Tie
Bakers Journal adds:
Demand the union label ON bread
and stand by those that stand by you!
The trust will try to crush all small
bakeries and then gouge the public
to the limit, not to mention the ultl-
mate fate of the bakery workers.
1.-THE great need at the present is
that larger percentage of union
members and friends shall apply UNI
ion label principles religiously in all
purchases, whether of goods on which
union labels can be procured or OF
gods made in non-label Industries.
Union members and sympathi2ers
would scorn to take an unfair job
where men and women are on legiti-
mate strike. They are equally recre-
ant to their duty if they pay their
money for non-union or unfair, trust
made bakery goods. When they pur-
chase union label products they are
sure to be on the right side"

What About Great Stores of Wealth,
Guided by the instructions of Dead
Men, Working to Shape Destinies

Great praise is being heaped by the
newspapers of America upon Sir
Henry Lunn, English multi7million-
aire, for his action in turning his
huge fortune into a Foundation for
world propaganda purposes, leaving
for his own use sufficient to bring him
henceforth no more than the income
of wage Garner.
The Lunn Foundation is to be used
to promote international peace and
for other humanitarian work.
The propaganda set in motion by
the Lunn millions will go throughout
the world, including the United States.
Whether it will be good and construc-
tive propaganda may seem different
to those of different viewpoints.
Whatever may be any individual
point of view about propaganda 10

was created, and thus more powerful

Perhaps the most famous Founda-
ton ever created in America was the
Rockefeller Foundation, endowed with
a sum far beyond the Imagination of
ordinary, average persons.
1t has been said that the Rockefeller
Foundation has done much good work,
and undoubtedly that is true. But on
the other hand, labor in New York for
years felt it necessary to conduct a
vigorous opposition to certain efforts
of that Foundation in the field of
education.
Increasing attention is being given
to the question of what to do about
