In a campaign to get more hosiery manufacturers to put the union label on silk stockings, the American Federation of Hosiery Workers (C. I. O.) last week featured a full-page advertisement in the Knit Goods Weekly, showing Hollywood Star Jean Parker, sleek limbs sheathed in stockings stamped with the union label. The caption: Movie Stars Demand Hosiery Union Label. (Actresses June Lang, Arleen Whelan will decorate future ads in other trade journals.)

From A. F. H. W. offices in Philadelphia to the trade press also went free contributions of cartoons, jingles. Samples: 1) A studious-looking, bespectacled girl wearing a black brassiere, polka dot panties, ill-fitting stockings. The jingle:

A peculiar gal is Miss Susie Pftitt;

Her scab-made hose don't seem to fit.

2) A playboy in white tie and tails presenting his girl with two boxes of stockings and a fur coat. The jingle:

Before John gave her hose and sables

He insisted on seeing union labels.
