IWA PRESIDENT, A. F. Hartung is seen here receiving from Amalgamated
“Union Maid”, Shirley Friars, the first !WA Union Label, introduced for
first time di the 1953 IWA International Convention, Vancouver.

PATRONIZE UNION MADE GOODS

IWA members will note with gratification the fact that
the campaign conducted by the Vancouver Labor Council

k Union Label Committee is steadily gaining ground. This

is highlighted by the readiness with which leading mer-
chants have recently cooperated in displaying union-made
goods as pictured on these pages, featuring prominently
the label of the Union concerned.

For this success the members of the Committee who
have worked diligently toward this end, deserve the con-
gratulations of all trade unionists. Their success means
that men and women associated with the trade unions have
stimulated an expanding public demand for goods manu-
factured under trade union standards.

The situation revealed by the committee challenges all
trade unionists to so direct their purchasing power that
the output of production unfairly exploiting labor may be
shunned by the buying public.

When every trade union member, and every member

« of his family, insist upon the union label on commodities
in general use, they will soon reap rich dividends as a result
of their improved bargaining position when seeking better

Wages and working conditions.

Widespread use of union-made goods spells greater job
E for trade union members, and is a powerful lever

the le to gain for the workers their fair share of

wealth ited by their labor.
