LABOR NOTES.

By Editor

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York Sun says: "Lately a benevolent lady visited the home of one of the mechanics on strike in the building trade. She found evidences of a destitution which touched her deeply. So poor was the family that the children were out of school because of inability of the father to provide them with winter garments. Seeing some new shoes on the floor, the kind-hearted visitor expressed her pleasure that some one had remembered the family's necessities. 'Those shoes,' explained the mother, 'we shan't take them. The walking delegate has found that they haven't the union label.' This she said not in resentment against the ruling, but in a tone which showed that she fully justified the exclusion, and the father was of the same mind."
