BUY UNION LABELED
BREAD EXCLUSIVELY

Who buys the bread in your home :?
Your wife, of course; at least she does
in most cases.
What kind of bread does she buy :?
Does she buy scab-made loaf or does
she spend your union wages to buy
bread made by union men? When
you go home tonight ask her about
it. Tell her that you expect the union
bakers to buy union beer, soft drinks,
malt syrup, yeast and flour and de-
mand the union label on these pro-
ducts and therefore you want your
union wages spent for union bread.
Don't let her feed you with scab
bread. Union made bread can be had,
and the label is either on the loaf or
on the paper wrapper.
Isn't it rather sickening to see a
union man yelling his head off about
this or that way to run union
sometimes acting as delegate to
union meeting, many times acting on
the shop committee, trying to main
tain union conditions and standards
for himself then walk home sat-
isfied with himself and sit down to q
table and eat scab bread and scat
cake bought and paid for" by his
union wages?
Insist that union bread be bought
in your home. That's the least yor
can do.-Brewery Workers Journal.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1927-09-02
WHAT UNIONS HAVE
DONE

The next time someone asks you
'"what you have unions for" don't
pity his ignorance, but take the unin-
formed gentleman in hand and en-
tighten his mind to the greatest force
for good that the worlds workers
have ever known.
Compare the long work day of 80
years ago to that of today. Explain
to him how that at the beginning Of
the union labor movement all of the
different mechanics of labor were
working from IL to 16 hours per day,
and that now the eight-hour day is a
fact and in all of the organized call
ings, and that many of them are dis
cussing the seven-hour day that they
may enjoy to greater degree the
good things of life.
If the unions successful efforts in
reducing the workday is not sufficient
excuse for our existence, show your
friend how the workers agitation Sc
cured our free school system and its
free school books. How we have rails
ed wages and established vast chain
of benefits. How we have forced en-
ployers to safeguard life and limb.
How shop conditions are bettered by
workers standing together and pro-
tecting from blacklisting the fellow
who has gone to the front.
Tell him that all of these gains
have been made in the last so years.
Before that time men were even de-
MED the right to organize. Existing
laws at that time declared that three
workers gathered together in one
group constituted conspiracy. But
despite obstacles men uited. They
formed debating societies and estab-
lished labor papers. Slowly but sure
| ly they one at time toppeld over the
old ideas maintained by lawmakers,
professors, economists and students.
Upward they have climbed out of

His Decision

the WEAKNESS caused by the
previous nights adventures. With
q change Of clothes, and his body
tingling In reaction tc the cold
water, he descended towards the
gTill-room. AS he walked down
the flight Of stairs he whistled,
cheerfully and untunefully, the
air OF a French cafe-chantant
song.
Arriving In the hall, he obeyed
an impulse. and went Immediately

HOW il she went over to the
IL other side?
Masterton shrugged his Shout
ders slightly. It was a matter Of
perfect indifference to him.
He did not know quite what to
make Of Sadie Hicks. Master.
ton was a judge of men, and q
good one. He was not quite
young enough to believe himself
a Judge of women.
Nineteen such eventful hours
Masterton had never known. Nc
Calls visit was the climax. Nc.
Call was unexpected. And he
had been anxious to get rid Of
Sadie and think 1t out.
For long time he sat look

Then he unlocked his desk, uns
locked also q metal inner drawer,
and taking out a long envelope
that contained some papers
studied them very carefully.
