NOT USED BY ALL CRAFTS. Character of Products Precludes the Adoption of a Distinctive Sign In Many Trades Arguments . Against the Use of a General Sign. There are three forms in which the trade union label, using the term in its widest sense, is used first, a mark at tached to a product; second, a shoJ card to distinguish a place of business, and, third, a button to distinguish a workman. The majority of trade un ions use the label only . as a mark placed on . an article, and ordinarily the term "union label" . indicates this form of label. .. : . In 1008 the membership of the trade unions using the labels attached to the product was 558,600, or approximately 27.0 per ceut of the entire membership of the American Federation of Labor. Those unions which use cards and buttons embraced approximately 309,-s" GOO, or 18.8 per cent of the number of workmen affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. There are still other trade unions which use the label of the American Federatiouofabor either because of the weakness of their organization or because their products are "subsidiary?: -to a com plete product. .Jft; iir r-:' ut h-.tU Some trade unions are precluded from the adoption of V label because of the nature ot'Zhe cum ft;.-!.

The policy of the"American Federation of Labor would thus be abandoned and the Industrial form of , organization would of necessity replace the existing form of trade ,'. affiliation.
