TO BOOM THE LABEL
Naw York Trada Unionists Unit For
Good Purpose.
The formation of a Central Union
Label council, which has been in the
preliminary stages for several 'months,
has taken concrete form In Greater
New York, and a permanent organiza
tion has been effected. The pioneers
in the movement are composed of the
Allied Trintlng Trades council, the
Central Labor union of Brooklyn, the
Centra Federated union of Manhat
tan, the Bronx Labor council and the
Women's Trade Union league.
The objects of the council are to pro
mote a greater demand for products
bearing the union label and of labor
performed by union workers: to In
vestigate into, devise, recommend and
within, the limits of Its authority carry
Into effect methods for the advertise
ment of union label products; to edu
cate the members of trade unions,
their families and the general public
upon the economic, social and moral
uplift furthered by the trade union
movement; to further the general wel
fare of all affiliated organizations and
to aid in the work of organization
among all the toilers for the common
good; to promote the organization of
assembly district councils to work un
der the direction and supervision of
the Central Union Label council In
creating a demand for union label
products In their respective assembly
districts and to assist the parent body
In every manner possible In protecting
the Interests and furthering the wel
fare of organized labor.
The promoters of this new central
body say: The formation of the Cen
tral Union Label council marks the
starting point of the most pompreben
slve and businesslike plan to make ef
fective use of the purchasing power of
the money earned by organized labor
that progressive .trade unionists have
taken since the adoption of union la
bels. Three hundred thousand work
ers in Greater New York are now or
ganized in their producing capacity.
To organize them In their purchasing
capacity is both practicable and prac
tical. It "can be done, must be done, If
they are to hold what they have gain
ed by hard work and the sacrifice of
time and money. The development of
trade unionism has been jug-handled.
Most of our efforts have been directed
to the earning side. The spending side
has been neglected."

ROSES AMD THORNS.
An Old Eastern Legend and Ita ApplJ
cation to Human Life.
This world we're living' In
Is mighty hard to beat.
You get a thorn with every rose.
But ain't the roses sweet?
There is an eastern legend that when
the beneficent Creator prepared the
earth for man. causing It to bring
forth herbs and trees pleasant to the
eye and good for food, each bearing
Its seed within Itself for propagating
Its kind, the rosea had no thorns and
the lilies, violets and other blossoming
plants were free from thistles, bram
bles and noxious weeds..
But the sons and daughters of men
In their greedy eagerness to gather the
flowers, each one selfishly striving to
secure a larger share than his fellow,
seemed likely to despoil the earth of
Its beauty and leave not even enough
blossoms to perfect their seed and per
petuate their species. Bo the kindly
All Father provided the roses with
thorns for self protection and sent a
host of defenders of the more tender
blossoms by causing thistles and briers
to spring up around them like wardens
of a castle or the bodyguard of a
queen. And this Is the reason for the
thorns and briers nature's protection
against human greed.
The legend has a wider application.
The roses typify the pleasures of life
and the thorns Its pains. A life of
ease and pleasure was not only use
less, but satiating. . It would demoral
ize him who indulged in it. Satiety
despoils the rose of Its beauty and the
violet of its fragrance; hence kind na
ture makes true pleasure the reward
of virtuous effort and punishes over
indulgence with penalizing suffering,
to the end that greed may be restrain
ed and self control developed with its
attendant virtues of temperance, kind
liness, industry and thrift. John B.
Stoll in South Bend Times.

FOES TO SUCCESS.
Don't Be a Victim of Timidity, Shyness
or Self Consciousness.
Timidity, shyness and self conscious
ness belong to the same family. We
usually find all where we find any one,
and they are all enemies of peace of
mind, happiness and achievement No
one has ever done a great thing while
his mind was centered upon himself.
We must lose ourselves before we can
find ourselves. Self analysis is valu
able only to learn our strength; it is
fatal if it makes as dwell upon our
weaknesses.
Timid, shy people are morbidly self
conscious. They think too much about
themselves. Their thoughts are turn
ed inward; they are always analyzing,
dissecting themselves, wondering how
they appear and what people think of
them. If these people could only for
get themselves and think of others
they would be surprised to see what
freedom, ease and grace they would
gain, what success in life they would
achieve.
Thousands of young people are held
back from undertaking what they long
to do and are kept from trying to make
real their great life dreams because
they are afraid to Jostle with the
world. They shrink from exposing
their sore spots and sensitive points
which, smart from the lightest touch.
