"Do unto others as you wonld that
others should do unto yon."
Beinjr in a religious frame of mind to
diy I hike the above s my test for
t bis day's sermon. .
We have several tlionsui 1 members
engaged in business for tlrm- lvfs: tlwy
are operating co-opr;itive e-tllisri-tnnts

are not working in such a phic, will

Because I am not eniraed in that kind
of business tnvadf and :in not interest
ed. But yon are iriterevte 1; you are a
man or wnurn and you woild lik;? to
have other folk- buy articles which you
manufacture, w.)uld y ur not? Oh, of

further than that and ask for them;
create' a demand for them; enoonr jgJ
thoe who US3 the label to Hi-ike the
best article on the market - j
I heard it said not Iontf asro that a cer
tain article bearing" the Knighis ot Li
bor JaSel was not a first-class artie'e.
Of coarre it wjtild not be bought ou
that account, bofc-v-ou will buy as poor
au article from so ue one else md 1 never
grumble.
Until the laboring poplo le ru t
appreciate their own work it will not c
po slide to make a nrst-elass :;r wA-.
It cm not be done on thestirt. If you
are working" at a bn.-inss that makes
use of the Kniglits of L-ibor labc!, buy
goods which bear that ma;k in prefer
ence to others. If'you are not working
-where the trade mark or lit ci is nsed,
do as you Would be don'? by and seek
;ior the label when making your pur
- cruses. Look ir the label, ask for
it encourage those who use it. and re
,mind your neighbors to ask ir it.
A word or two to t'uose who use the
label. Why not make out a brief
sketch of your label and the establish
ment using it and send it on to tbe
Journal for publication, so that all our
members will know what you are do
ing? Or how would it do to have the
names of each firm manufacturing
Knights of Labor goods sent in aul
printed in a supplement for the Jonrn l
and have it posted up on the Wills ot
your assemblies? Do that and you wil I
engage in real sensible boycott, for yon
will be purchasing the articles manu
factured by your friends. Dotrt strike
and stop the manufactnre of goods, but
create a demand for more by purchas
ing goods which show the Knights of
Labor label or the label ot some other
organization. Ask the editor of the
labor p iper nearest to you to give your
label a puff. He will do it eheerfu'ly.
Do everything possible to boom the la
bel. Label this on your memory.
