VOTE FOR C. L. DAUGHERTY
FOR LABOR COMMISSIONER. HE
IS A MEMBER OF TYPOGRAPHICAL
UNION NO. 283, OKLAHOMA CITY,
OKLA. MR. DAUGHERTY IS A UN-
ION MAN—A MAN WHOSE UNION-
ISM, HONOR, ABILITY AND INTEG-
RITY DURING HIS FIFTEEN YEARS
MEMBERSHIP IN THE TYPOGRA-
PHICAL UNION IS ABSOLUTELY
UNQUESTIONABLE.
What are you doing to help other la
bor organizations outside of your own
craft? I don't mean in a financial
way. The union that waits until
some of its brothers and sisters In oth
er crafts are In trouble and then do
nates money to them Is all right In a
certain way; but how much good
could you be doing If you gave these
other union men and women your
work to do. I would be of far more
benefit to the movement to keep these
men employed than to take care of
them when they are In trouble with
their employers.
If very union man and woman In
Oklahoma City would Insist on having
the union label on every article they
buy they would be giving employment
to union people. Every time you buy
an article without the label you give
employment to some non-union per-
son.
Now, In the clothing line, there are
no goods made by union people un-
less the union label Is on every article
produced. Some merchants and sales-
men will tell you this suit, pants, shirt
- r overhall is made by union labor,
->ut the manufacturer does not use the
label. That merchant or salesman is
not telling the truth. There are no
union factorlse which make the
above goods that do not put the union
label on all products. The United
Garment Workers of America have
no open shops. All shops are either
closed to union men or closed to non-
union men. Now which do you to
employ? If you are a good union
man and want to give your union earn-
ed money to union people Insist upon
the label being stitched In every piece
of clothing you buy. Don't take any
one's word for it. When they say "It's
union made," you say. "Show me the
ulon label."
Carpenter and Joiners of America,
IxKal Union No. 139 8, met on Monday
night and held and interesting meeting j
at Labor Hall. The largest delegat-
ion having been out for some time
past at the regular meeting of 13 S.
The strength of 139S Is gaining and
every man is at work.

Oklahoma County Union No. 69
endorses the Oklahoma State Labor
News as their official paper and re-
commend that each member subscribe
for same.
The- editor of the I^abor News was
present at the recess and presented
each member with a badge of Local
69, of F. E. and C. N. of A.
Two labels were on the badges,
printed in a very neat and artistic man
ner. A rising vote of thanks was ex-
tended Mrs. Krogh for her thoughtful-
ness of presenting the members with
badges, at the County Local Meeting.
Isn't it strange that Governor
Folk could not find a union crafts-
man capable and competent to fill the
position of Labor Commissioner or
Factory Inspector? And yet he
claims to be the friend of the 100,000
organized workmen in the state of
Missouri!

YOUNG WOMEN.
Not by might nor by power but
iny spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts" is
the motto of our Association.
Our Assdtlation has certainly been
directed'~bip the Spirit, having been
blesald In CTCry way. The first com-
mute*- meeting to consider organizing,
was Lid sflireh 11th; the organiza-
tion Was completed April 7th. Miss
Mary Patchin came to us to direct our
work and won many friends not only
for herself, but for the Y. W. Miss El-
la True came later to the work, and
now from her home, send loving mes-
sages to the girls, as do the girls to
her.
We have 718 paid up membership,
ar.d the. hearty co-operation of the
good people of.the town has been hear-
tily appreciated. The lunch room aver
afcfe Is 85, but last week the average
was 100.
. The girls appreciate the frequent
visits of the board members, coming
as thev do from their busy homes. j
Miss, Mildred Mitchell will come to
us in September 1st, as our permanent
Secretary, after attending the city con-
ference at Lake Geneya. Wis. Miss
Mitchell's home , is In Wisconsin, but
she comes to us .from the Kansas City
Association-where she has been one of
the Bible secretaries for the past two
years. The aboard feels they have
made a wise selection, they having
acted on the suggestion of Miss Patch-
In and other Y. W. C. A., Workers.
Mrse. Thoburn being unable to at-
tend the afternoon meeting Sunday
and g|ve us a talk on "The South Sea
Islands, which she was to have given,
a prayer meeting was held. Manly pre
siding. Miss Phillips rendering a solo.
Miss Church will talk to us next
Sunday afternoon, please remember
the hour, 8 p. m.
A bright spot In last week was the
giving out of bottonhole bouquets of
sweet peas by Mrs. Brommell, who has
charge of the flower department of the
W. C. T. U. The flowers and the kind
thought were futly appreciated by the
girls*
•The needs of the Association are
gnawing fast; we hope the time is
near when we may be able to keep
the roopis open all night, and have a
traveler aid to meet all trains. Only
last Saturday night, the need was felt;
a lady came In on the evening train.,
and was obliged to wait in the station
until 3 o,'clock In tht> morning We
cared for her as long as we could, but
was sorry to leave her In the station
at such a lata hour.
