H When purchasing goods even .. from merchants who you know .. carry union label goods, always ask for union label goqds and be l sure that you get them to protect yourself against purchasing non- union goods that they may also have in stock. Another good reason for always demanding union label goods, even though you know the goods the mer- chant , will sell you do bear the '. '. union label, is that you will let I him know that you will always I', be on guard to promote the sale I '. of union made goods and that v you never forget it. It impress- . ! es the dealer with your earnest- . . ness, and numerous instances of this character will cause him to " enlarge his stock of union goods; H therefore always demand the H union label every time. I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-t-I-I-I-I-I- I- Z-I- I 'li DEGRADATION OF GIRLS. Shocking Conditions That Prevail In New York Factories. "I was searched at the Greene street door by a man every night." This was one of the shocking statements in the testimony of Yetta Lubitz, one of the Triangle company's factory girls,made at the hearing of the New York coro ner's jury in the fire case. Shocking, indeed, in even one instance, this fact of a young girl being subjected to search by a watchman, the degrada tion of the thing becomes the more striking when one reflects upon it as but one circumstance among many which in some backward countries have been long customary in factories. Totreata woman, no matter what her statiorTIn Tiie,with consideration, lo assist her in preserving her modesty and self respect, to defend her against rough treatment, to share the senti ments of solicitude of her male rela tives toward her these are principles which have been instilled in our Amer ican men as part of the universal everyday religion of our country. To treat a working woman like a serf, to pay no deference to her because of her sex, to look upon her as a mere piece of machinery, to permit low men to be familiar with her these are customs prevailing in those countries of Europe which border on the half civilized. "What is this country coming to?" This is one of the outbursts to which we are growing accustomed as' from time to time the daily press reveals the fact that some practice or crime or doctrine or social view which here tofore has usually been associated with the degraded nations Is now accepted as a matter of course by some element in our conglomerate American popula tion. What American father would permit his daughter to work in a factory where she ' was searched by a man every night as she passed out on her way home? What trade union would tolerate such a proceeding? American Federationist, A Menace to Labor. "Socialists need to keep their eyes on the present wave of vocational training for greater efficiency that is sweeping the country," declared Pro fessor Ellen Hayes of Wellesley col lege at a -recent Socialist meeting in Boston. "This vocational training," she explained, "under the present sys tem is really a menace, for the labor ing class receives a training for pro ductive efficiency which most greatly benefits the capitalists and is deprived of the opportunity to rise above the ranks of its fathers." John Mitchell May Lecture. It is reported that John Mitchell, late chairman of the trades agreement de partment of the National Civic federa tion, will adopt the lecture platform. Two of his lectures are said to be on "The Philosophy, Purposes and Ideals of the Trade Union Movement" and "Industrial Accidents and Compensa tion to Worklngmen For Losses Caused by Them." Trade Union Notes. Brooklyn's clothing industry employs 25,000 persons. Cleveland granite cutters have put a new agreement into effect without any trouble. Ohio's legislature rejected the bill for a state wide twelve hour day for city firemen. ; The employment of women at night in industrial establishments is prohib ited in Sweden. The St. Louis Teachers' Benevolent Annuity association has issued a re port showing assets of $129,900. Union labor of Cleveland will aid state officials in their campaign to com pel manufacturers to report all acci dents to workmen to the state factory inspector. The gain in the American Federation of Labor, according to Secretary Frank Morrison, since the convention last November has been 156,898 members of trade unions. Chicago Billposters' union has pur chased two plats of eighty-four graves and has erected a monument at a cost of $1,000 for a burial ground for mem bers of the organization who hare no . relatives in the city. v The five daily, newspapers of New Haven, Conn., have signed agreements with Typographical union No. 4", op erative from May 1, 1911, until May 1, 1916. The uew wage scale provides for an ultimate increase of $2 per week for all employees. ,t ! ! " t COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. ' l There is only one worse thing ,J than war measures in settling It industrial disputes. It is to set- ' tie in the wrong way issues over i ' human rights. The one per- ' manent issue at stake in the , Chicago garment workers' strike ! l is the right to bargain collective- J jj !! ly for the rate of wages, the !! J conditions of work and the re- j , dress of grievances. The em- V, J ployers have and exercise this . . right. Their claim to It is un- V, disputed by their employees or by any one else. The wagework- ers demand the same right in . I dealing with their organized and i . collectively powerful-employers. j They justify this demand by J the plea that they have no other J way to exercise their right to . ' "the freedom of contract," for J singly and alone the individual employee is not and cannot be free to contract on equal terms o J I with the collective, personal and J J financial resources of strong J firms and great corporations. ' ' Combination is not more essen- 4. tial to business economy, safety , and success than collective bar- ', I gaining Is an economic necessity J ', to labor. Graham Taylor. j CHURCH AND LABOR. The Union Movement Mainly Unselfish, Says Bishop Greer. ' Bishop David H. Greer of the Episco pal diocese of New York city was the principal speaker at a recent dinner of the Church Association For the Ad vancement of the Interests of Labor. The church, he said, must recognize that the labor movement, despite its extravagances, irregularities and the things in it which are reprehensible, is not wholly or chiefly actuated by greed, selfishness, covetousness or ma terial ambition, but that there is a soul in it and a spirit of earnestness. It stands today for what Is perhaps the greatest spiritual earnestness of the age. The men who are in It are not in it for themselves or for what they can get out of it or in it altogether from a spirit of selfishness and desire for self improvement, but in a spirit of sacri fice and for human betterment. There fore our part is not merely to stand aside and find fault, but to recognize the spirit of earnestness in the move ment and to co-operate with it and try to lead it from whatever is defective, earthly and imperfect to a still higher plane and greater attainment in the in terests not of a part but of all our common humanity. British Labor Exchanges. The first year of the government la bor exchanges in Great Britain has closed with the system announced as successful. "About 450,000 vacancies were reported by employees to the ex changes, and 370,000 of them were filled. In order to enable workmen without money to reach distant places where they were in demand , the gov ernment exchanges provided transpor tation, the cost of which has been re paid out of the workingmen's wages. Perhaps the most surprising develop ment has been the fact that more skill ed than unskilled workmen have found employment through the exchanges.
