market for union label goods is empha-
sized by Mr. Ornburn as an essential
part of the movement to mobilize all
trade unionists and their friends to
purchase the products made by manu-
facturers who have agreements with
genuine labor unions.
Following is the text of Mr.. Orn-
burns Labor Day Message:
The Union Label Trades Depart
ment has made greater progress in the
past year than in any other year since
this important department of the
American Federation of Labor was es-
tablished in 1909. This unusual sue
cess has been accomplished through
the loyal support Of the members of
Labor Unions and their families.
We are grateful also for the intelli
gent cooperation we have received
from all the officials of National and
international Labor Unions, State Fed
erations of Labor, Central Labor
Unions, Local Unions, Union Label
Leagues, Women's Auxiliaries and
numerous Union Label Committees.
We appreciate this volunteer effort
and sincerely believe that it will be re-
fected into the pay envelope Of every
American worker by obtaining for him
. higher wages, shorter hours and bet
ter working conditions.
l desire to take this opportunity to
thank publicly those unionized indus
trialists who so heartily cooperated in
making our first great Exhibition a
success.
Women's Influence for Union
Standards
In expressing our appreciation for
this unparalleled achievement in the
history Of any label movement | thank
the representatives of the most unified
purchasing market in the world-the
American Federation of Women's Aux
iliaries of Labor-for their coopera-
ton.
:. At last the women members of La
Dor Unionists' families play vital
part in obtaining higher wages, short
er hours, and better working condi-
tions for American Labor. The wives,
mothers, sisters, daughters, and friends
of organized workers have, in collec-
tive buying, a weapon which is as eff
tfective as the collective bargaining of
Labor Unions. Individually, each
woman can do her part by spending
Union-earned money only for Union
Label goods and services. But, col
lettively, the economic effect and
psychological influence will be more
powerfully felt if these women join
their new organization-the American
Federation of Women's AuXiliaries Of
Labor.
Success of Union Label and Industrial
Exhibition
Greatest Of all the results of the A.
F. of l.. Union Label and Industrial
Exhibition was the psychological effect
upon the twenty-five million Union
Label-conscious consumers throughout
the United States, with an annual pur-
chasing power of over six billion
Union-earned and American dollars.
The A. f. of l.. Union Label and
Industrial Exhibition having proved
such a success, the Union Label Trades
Department is planning to make it al
~annual event. This aggressive pro
gram has been launched to deliver the
:. valuable Union Market to the manu-
facturers of Union-made goods and tc
other business institutions whose ser
vices are unioniZed.
Buy Union Made Goods for Prosperity y
We are convinced beyond question
that permanent prosperity cannot re
turn until the American purchasing
market is raised and strengthened by
. the purchasing Of Unionmade goods
and Union services. TO achieve its
purpose, the Union Label Trades De.
. partment is not only pubiciZing Union
Labels, Shop Cards and Buttons, but
is endeavorng to familiarize the Unior
Label-conscious market with lists OF
Unionized manufacturers and with the
brand and trade names used by firms
recognizing the principles Of collective
- bargaining with Labor Unions.
The A. f. Of l.. Union Label ano
Industrial Exhibition is just one Of the
=, activities to increase the demand foi
Union goods and Union services
:. We emphasize the Exhibition, because
lit was in connection with it that the
first Union Label Catalogue Directory
n,was published
-" Achievements of Union Label Weeks
Among the various other activities
carried on by the Union Label Trades
Department are Union Label Weeks ir
various cities throughout America
Several Governors and Mayors have
issued proclamations declaring that q
six day period be set aside for the sole
purpose of promoting Union Labe
products and Union services. In con
nection with the Union Label Week
the Central Labor Unions, in cooper
alton with Union Label Leagues ano
Women's AuXiIiares, arrange for large
parades, radio, talks, streamers OF
automobiles, newspaper and window
display advertising Of Union Labe
merchandise, and demonstrations OF
Union services. Great interest is showl
in these events and the results are
proven by the many requests that oul
. Department receives for Union Labe
literature.
