Place of location.

PENSION NOTE
Will H. Hays is championing an old-age pension for teachers. This will be cheering news to all the veteran cameramen in Hollywood, whose real job is to teach the new sound directors what it's all about. — The Film Daily.

CONDENSED LABOR
Capital is condensed labor. It is nothing until la-bor takes hold of it. The living laborer sets free the condensed labor and makes it assume some form of utility or beauty. Capital and labor are one, and they will draw nearer to each other as the world advances in intellect and goodness.— David Swing.
THE A. F. L.— WHAT IS IT?
The American Federation of Labor is not a "union" in the accepted sense — it is a federation of unions.
It has no power other than that given to it by affiliated national and international unions. These affiliates retain control of their internal affairs. They are the sole judge of their wage scale, working conditions, etc. Each has undisputed power to adjust industrial disputes in their respective jurisdictions, and they are protected from invasion by rival organizations.
The national and international unions are the base of the American Federation of Labor.
State and city central bodies, composed of representatives of local affiliates of national and international unions, are also affiliated with the A. F. of L., as are local unions in trades and callings where no national union exists.
The A. F. of L. binds this family of trade unions into a voluntary federation.
It maintains inter-communication between affiliates, and is in constant correspondence with a corps of organizers throughout the country.
The American Federation of Labor guards the worker's interests in the national Congress. It indorses and protests in the name of labor. It has secured relief from burdensome laws and governmental bureaucracy.
Annually it assembles the wage earners in convention to exchange ideas and methods, to promote mutual interests, to develop greater solidarity, to proclaim the workers' burdens, aims and hopes.
The trade unions reflect, in organized form, the best thought, activity and hopes of the wage workers.
The trade union is a factor in all social movements. It raises living standards and checks wage reductions. It promotes fraternity and fosters temperance and liberality.
In short the American Federation of Labor unites all classes of workers under one head, through their several organizations, to extend education and establish democracy in industry.

I. A. MAN SCORES
Brother E. A. Harrell, Secretary of Local No. 226, Waco, Texas, has been elected to the office of Assistant Reading Clerk of the House of Representatives of the State of Texas by a total of 103 votes against his opponent's 34. Another instance of a member of the Alliance attaining political importance.
Look for This Label
Label of the Journeymen TailorV Union of Amertc*
On your tailored suits and overcoats. It means that your clothing will be made in welllighted, clean workshops by expert tailors who are assured of the eight-hour day and decent wages.
The Union Label is not only a sign of wholesome, cleanly standards of manufacture, but it is a symbol of Americanism, as the Union Label appears only on American made products.
DEMAND THE UNION LABEL
The fortune of the trade unionist is in his own hands. The collective body of American workers can accomplish any end by mass effort. The great cause can be served most immediately by persistent buying of Union Label Products.
PORTAL TO SUCCESS
The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.— Lloyd Jones.
THE SHARP STICK
A special dispatch from Washington recently said: Secretary of Labor James J. Davis today read the riot act to a $200,000,000 industry, employing 35,000 men and women — the paper box board industry.
He severely critized failure of the industry to live up to the so-called "Washington agreement," under which plants were to be operated at reduced hours, five days a week, with a clean-up on the sixth day and plants closed on Sunday. It is charged that one-half of the industry has gone back to operating eleven to thirteen hours per day, six days a week, with the clean-up, an essential part of the manufacturing process, taking place on Sunday, making a seven-day week.
Asserting that thirteen hours a day toil was "fearful," Davis said:
"It may be necessary to lay the whole box board industry before the Federal Trade Commission for a discussion that will reach every avenue of the market and the public."
