± IF WORKERS WOULD DEMAND LABEL, WOULDN’T NEED LAWS • At the recent convention of the International Typographical Union; held in Toronto, Canada, an amendment was offered to thej laws 6f that organisation which' wduld provide that: '-"•“No delegate shall be entitled; to~a seat in the convention whoge wearing {apparelbfar iat; i Leafit eight ilab&Wr* <*/rO -?4 As/is -necessary;rundear t^sule^p this proposition was referred to the Committee on Laws which re r y ported out a substitute reading as follows: “No member of a subordinate union shall be eligible to election as* delegate whose wearing ap parel does not heih* at least five union labels." The substitute of the commit tee was adopted. In speaking upon this proposition before the con vention Secretary-Treasurer Hays, who is president of the Union Label Trades Department of the American Federation ' of .Labor, ’ ' had the following to say: “I arise to support the report; of the committee on laws. I am ! surprised that in a convention that j has two propositions before it, asking the executive council to finance label campaigns, there | should be any word said against - any proposition that looks for the furtherance^ Of the use of the union label. “We expect to do considerable organization work in the near fu ture. We must do considerable organization work in fact, and one of the best methods ol organ iza^Ithgt .jW/xhuyerdfe*t>iWhicrl>h^ th# fujose^fcjt#, ?»s^#n§l,;«ic^i tifrlk i§n hIWUW^f bouses, demand the use of the union label oh their printing. We always de mand that every labor organiza tion use our union label on its printing. : If they did not use it we would certainly make an awful kick*, even carrying it to the AmericanjFederation of Labor, to see that the label was used. That being true, should be not support the other organizations in the use of their labels? : - ' It has been said that you should not force members of an organi zation to der things of this kind. I say that the union label is one of the best weapons that organ ized labor has to compel ; em ployers to run union establish ents. If the members of, labor organizations would not spend any of their union-earned money for any goods except those that bore Lhe union label, we would have nighty little trouble in settling wage scales and getting ujnion conditions. “If the members of labor or ganizations .will not exert their rr^nds enough to. realize what is for their own'benefit, then we must go as faa-as we can. to force them to do so for the benefit of organized labor generally.

Back of the actual build ing of this new store lay 24 years of service during which time a patronage from all classes had made possible the building of our new home. . We take a justifiable pride in the fact that the New Ivey’s was built largely by Union Labor. Here, throngs of all classes rub elbows in our spacious aisles, find ing their wants supplied at prices that fi; all pccketboOks from millionaire to taxi-driver. J. B.
