We therefore desire to again call our own members' attention to the resolution passed at the Dallas Convention in 1921, i. e., that our membership be request. ed, whenever possible, to purchase or hang nothing but union-made wall paper and whenever possible to have same inserted in their contract, providing, however, it does not conflict with their best interests. The officers of the Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Paperhangers of America urges its members to make a more determined effort to aid these brothers. Bosses always pick out the most active leaders and center their forces on them to weaken a movement made against them. Should that not be your duty also? Let us see by action how much you are willing to do to help these sorely pressed brother unionists. CHAS. J. LAMMERT, G. S.-T. DUE BOOKS LOST.

This general movement occurred in 1921 when the employers representing the Imperial-Campbell and the StandardLiberty firms walked out of the Conference called to make an agreement, declaring their intentions of running “open shops." This policy they have pursued since that time, using all the tactics known to advo. cate this so-called one hundred per cent American Plan. Since then the real leader. FINANCIAL SECRETARIES.
