A. F. OF L. THE BRIDGE
UNION LABEL-KEYSTONE
I'm. Ornburn, Secretary-Treasurer
Union Label Trades Department
American Federation of Labor

The A. f. Of l.. forms the bridge
to permanent prosperity and the
Union Label is the keystone IN the
arch OF that great structure. !.
Why can | make this bold and
general claim: | shall try to briefly
state my reasons for believing Their
is sufficient foundation to proudly
boast about it.
For nearly seventy years the
American Federation OF Labor
through organization and collective
barpajning-has increased the wages
al all American workers. The hourly
wage OF skilled union workers Is
greater now than the daily pay be-
fore the turn OF the twentieth cen
fury. arr
For example. at the time the All
was founded, in 1881, unskille'
workers were paid an average 9.
fifteen cents and carpenters onl.
thirty cents an hour. The increas'
in wages obtained by labor UNION
created more purchasing powe
which is the only bridge to pros
neritv. There is another necessar
factor. however, required to stabiliz
good economic conditions. 1t is thu
union men and women spend the
union-earned money Tor Union Lab
goods and services. Unless they d
we cannot maintain the good TINT
that we are now enjoying. !,
$ Thus. the Union Label becomes II
; keystone OF the arch in the gre
= bridge which is so vital and III
; portant to the entire structure
+ our American labor standards
! we'll as Americas permanent st
biIity and lasting prosperity.

IT SHOULD POSE
NO BIG PROBLEM

The current minimum wage OF W
cents an hour fits into todays eco
nomic pattern in about the same way
that a iringed-top survey would 1T
into the traffic pattern on a high
speed highway.
1t seems to us that the job OF es-
tablishing a realistic minimum
should be tackled promptly by Con-
press and disposed of in short order.
The CLIO recommends 81 an hour
on the simple theory that anybody
earning less can't make ends meet.

Modern Kitchens Prove Time, Step

surely must have been watching
his wife prepare a meal in an old

Biggest handicap in most old
kitchens is steps: steps to get
things from the refrigerator
(often in another room); steps to
put them back again; more steps
back and forth, to the range, to
the sink, to the table, pantry and
cupboards, miles of steps.
Each well-planned kitchen has
three working centers: refriger-
