THE UNION LABEL. 1
t
The union label signifies the 4
application in industrial life ot
those rules which every good
citizen applies in individual life
cleanliness, morality, honesty,
chivalry toward woman and
care for the young.
Stated in concrete terms, the
union label is powerful because
It accomplishes by peaceful
means, with absolute certainty
and at little cost, that which the
strike and boycott seek to ac
complish, always at great cost
and sacrifice and often without
apparent results.
The workers who strike In pro
test against their wrongs may
be defeated, but the public pro
test registered in the demand for
the union label is Invincible.
The union label is invulner
able to the injunction, the lock
out and the blacklist.
The union label supersedes the
boycott by concentrating the
"purchasing power" upon onion
products.
The union label is the means
of rescuing the child from the
workshop, factory and mill, the
woman from the sweatshop and -j.
tenement house and the mil-
lions of labor from the clutches
of greed, degradation and pov-
erty. i
MISTAKES OF UNIONS.
Furnish No Justification For a Fight
on Organized Labor.
The trade union that udmits to mem
bership all competent workmen, pro
viding all of them with equality of
existing opportunity. Is the true "open
shop." It is this characteristic which
distinguishes such an organization
from the capitalist trust, which has its
doors closed to all except the favored
few," writes W. Hudspeth in the Typo
graphical Journal. There Is no wrong
in an organization when all are helped
and none are hurt by it. but an or
ganization which seeks to control the
labor market and then will not give
some men a chance to sell their labor
by not letting them join the combina
tion is as un-American and undemo
cratic as the organization which seeks
to control the oil market or the meat
market, for Instance, by keeping out
a part of the business men. Revenge
or oppression has no legitimate place
in either organized labor or organized
capital.
The business men's "open shop" is
not necessary when unions are con
ducted along legal and just lines, and
there can be no argument to sustain
it
The mistakes of some unions and the
mistakes of some members of all
unions are no Justification for a fight
on all organized labor, just as the mis
takes of some employers are no justi
fication for a fight on all employers.
The business men's "open shop" will
neither settle nor help to settle the
labor question. It uot only tends to
divide wageworkers and increase agi
tation, but keeps wages down, to the
discouragement of all business. All
fair minded and fursighted employers
are helping the wageworkers to get
higher wages, up to the point where,
on the other band, wages are not so
high as to discourage business by caus
ing It to run at a loss, and there is no
present better way to do this than the
encouragement of well regulated and
businesslike unions.
Because a man does not want to join
a union is not a good excuse for the
business men's "open shop" or for the
employer who does not want to run a
union 8hop. Bojthofthese men are
much" In the same position as the
driver and the owner of the stage
coach were in when railroads were
evolved. They could have spent their
time talking about the tyranny of the
new condition that drove them out of
their particular ideas of business, but
it would not have paid rhera. They
did well to adjust themselves to progress.

EFFECT OF INJUNCTIONS.
No judge has the right to dic
tate to me from the bench. how
I shall think or feel or act.
There is no authority given him
either from heaven or earth to
prescribe for me how I shall,
work for my own good. Then if
he has no right to dictate to me
it follows that he has no right to
dictate to my brother. Then if
he has no right to dictate to two
he has no right to dictate to
twenty. If he has no right to
dictate to twenty he has no right
to dictate to 20,000. The injunc
tion means, in the last analysis,
that no man has a right, either
legal or human, that is not sub
ject to the commands of judges.
In the last three years these in
junctions from the bench against
organized labor have grown more
and more frequent. It Is coming
to the point when labor cannot
withdraw its labor power that
some judge does not strike at it
with an injunction. Now, what
is the cumulative effect of these
incessant injunctions? In effect
they mean that the manufac
turers may combine as much as
they please to sell their manufac
tures, but workingmen must not
combine to sell their la.bor pow

Mental Influence.
"How far is it to Gloompville?" we
ask of the native who is leaning over
the gate. ' - -
"Ten miles, straight ahead," he an
swers. "But we met a man a little way back,
and he said it was only two miles."
"Short, fat man, drivin' a fleabitten
sorrel hoss?"
"That's the man."
"Did ye meet him or pass him?"
"We passed him."
"Thought so. He's drivin' a balker I
traded him, an' he didn't want his hoss
to know how much furder it had to
go." Chicago Post.
