earliest date the bill could be con-
sidered under the petition. There was
considerable doubt, however, even
among the bills supporters, that the
rules committee would yield.
The committee voted eight to six
last week to pigeon-hole the bill.
Behind the sentiment fcc hasten
ing consideration of the bill was the
possibility of prolonged Senate debate
against the measure. Most House
members, anxious to get home and at
work on political fence-mending for
the Forthcoming elections campaigns,
fear southern senators will use every
possible parliamentary strategy to
delay the wage-hour measure il it is
approved by the House, and thereby
delay adjournment.

UNION LABEL EXHIBIT
In Cincinnati, May l6 to p
In Music Hall

The first national exhibition Of
union-made, Made in America prod
ucts and union-manned services which
is scheduled to take place at Cincin-
natl, May 16 to u, inclusive, is at
tracing tremendous national atten-
tion, both in the circles of the labor
and the manufacturing worlds, ac-
cording to reports.
|. NJ Ornburn, secretary treasurer
Of the union label trades department
of the A. f. of t., and who is director
general of the coming A. F. Of L. UNI
ion label and industrial exhibition,
stated a few days ago that he is de
lighted with the tremendous enthu-
siasm being accorded from all sides.
IN the plans for the exhibition
Stated Mr. Ornburn Labor itself
is naturally enthusiastic about the
show, which for the first time, ma
tionally speaking, will physically dis
play to the great union purchasing
market, the products that are made
BY union labor, SO that this purchasing
market may identify and give prefer
ence to the union-made articles and
union-manned services.
Moreover" said Director Olnbun,
the manufacturers have recognized
instantly what this definite identif-
cation Of theil products and services
by the tremendous purchasing mar
ket may mean in changing the re
cessionn into a buying upward. This,
because there are twenty live million
consumers in the families of our type
of union members, who are but wait
ing to identify the brand names OF
things union"
''The almost instantaneous regis
tration of eligible manufacturers and
industrialists for space at the eXhibi-
tion clea"lv indicates that those un-
ionized manufacturers and Industrial
lists are quick to recognize the sound
ness Of merchandising their wares tc
the purchase purse" of more than
six billion union-earned dollars annu-
ally spent by the twenty-five million
consumers in the families of A f. Of
1. and A. f. Of L. types of union
members"
