LATIMER, ELECTRICAL WORKRS’ INT. BROTHERHOOD PRESIDENT,, WRITES LOCALS CROSLEY PRODUCTS FAIR To All Affiliates of the American Federation of Labor. Greetings: The Crosley Corporation is one out standing manufacturer in the radio and relrigeration industry that oper ates under a closed shop contract with our brotherhood. Our wage scale is among the highest in the industry and working conditions are excellent. The Crosley Corporation has been very cooperative by participating in Union Label exhibits and advertising the Union Label extensively. All our radios and refrigerators bear the “Mark of Distinction,’’ the I.B.E.W. Union Label. We feel that great ma terial benefit will inure to labor gen erally if we are successful in making this appeal to labor for support, so that the label will be a definite selling point to the extent that our competi tors will ask the right to use the Un ion Label. We respectfully request your local to actively support us in helping to spread the gospel of “buy Products with the Union Label.” We believe that each and every member of your local wil lbe willing to ask his fam ily and friends to look at a Crosley when thinking of a refrigerator or radio, knowing that when they buy a Crosley they are buying a quality product that proudly bears the Union Label. This letter has the wholehearted approval of the Cincinnati Central Labor Council., Jack Hurst, its pres ident and Regional Director of the American Federation of Labor, espe cially appeals to you as he aided our organization with our first contract and feels that the Crosley products should be in every American Federa tion of Labor home in appreciation of their cooperation. Will you do this local ana the entire Brotherhood a favor by calling this message to the attention of wour members and post ing in on your bulletin board? Fraternally yours, Local Bl-061, I.B.E.W., HAROLD R. LATIMER, President.

Florida Senate Kills Townsend Old-Age Pension TALLAHASSEE, Fla., May 17.— The Florida Senate last night over whelmingly defeated a state $100-a month Townsend old age pension plan. The vote on the bill was 28 to 8. The bill would have levied a 2 per cent transaction tax on every type of business to pal as nearly $200 a month to all persons over 60 years of age as the the tax would produce. It was debated for more than three hours before a chamber packed with elderly persons. Senator S. L. Holland, of Bartow, said four senators had word from Dr. Francis E. Townsend, creator of the nation-wide Townsend plan, that he opposed the bill. “Utterly opposed to any scheme for pension for aged by single state,” the telegram from Townsend read. “These efforts inevitably doomed to failure. Pensions to be effective and ade quate to restore prosperity must be national in scope.” IF YOTR SUBSCRIPTION IS IN ARREARS SEND IN A CHECK AT FARRIS BROS —Shop Here—It Pays! JUST RECEIVED!

FARRIS BROS. 117-119 SOUTH COLLEGE ST. Printers Urged To Use Watermarked Union Products The International Brotherhood of Paper Makers, this week, announced that Union Label watermarked pap ers of various kinds and grades can now be obtained at the same prices that are chained for equivalent kinds and grades in the non-union field. Through cooperation with the Ma jestic Paper Corporation of New York, a wide and extensive variety of papers, all Union-made and Union Label watermarked, have been plac ed on the market to meet the compe tition of non-union papers- Now papers of every quality will be de livred without delay at the current market prices. ■ For many years the Paper Makers’ Union has made every effort to in duce the mills that manufacture un ion paper to carry the Union Label watermark in order to meet the de mand of Labor Union organizations and publications. In this effort the Union was partially successful, but the lack of interest in Union Label paper on acount of its limited de mand made the manufacturing and merchandising unattractive. Often the difficulty of obtaining Union-made paper on immediate de | mand lost sales for the product be cause the printer did not have the stock on hand. wssssnwsssswwswwvww Subscribe for The Journal Southern Textile Federation Now Permanent Under United Tex.
