Importance to Labor of the Trade
Union Label.
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

are (IV thaF the distinctiveness of the
label of each trade would be lost and.
since the needs of each craft are dif
ferent, the principles upon which any
demand for the label in a particular
trade might be created would thus be
destroyed and (2) that the American
Federation of Labor under such a sys
tem would of necessity . control the
label and the propaganda for it. 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. Molders'
