Union members were encouraged to raise money for strike and pension funds.

	In 1910 the paper petitioned to be appointed the official paper of the city for a term. (2) Its success in 1914 together with the [[DUBUQUE NATIONAL DEMOKRAT]] resulted in the papers realizing that they would receive only $12.50 per month for printing which was considered "more of a donation than pay for services actually rendered." (3)		In 1910 the paper petitioned to be appointed the official paper of the city for a term. (2) It had previously received appointments for other city printing. Its success in 1914 together with the [[DUBUQUE NATIONAL DEMOKRAT]] resulted in the papers realizing that they would receive only $12.50 per month for printing which was considered "more of a donation than pay for services actually rendered." (3)

	This did not mean the paper went without criticism. In 1907 Rev. Cady of First Congregational Church (later [[FIRST CONGREGATIONAL UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST]]) spoke to the [[DUBUQUE TRADES AND LABOR CONGRESS]] concerning a letter than had been published in the newspaper. Rev. Cady claimed that he had been entirely misunderstood when by saying labor men should avoid saloons that he had been calling them drunkards. He further condemned the claim that he had obtained a man being fired. He charged he had never tried to do such a thing and that no employer would have agreed to such an act. Rev. Cady stated that he would not use union shops for printing. He claimed unions had made the charge that churches were "The Club of Capitalists." Cady asserted that churches had to be in a position of showing no favoritism. By showing a union label on its printing, a church was picking sides and not treating everyone equally.

	The change from a local identity prior to 1909 to a growing sense of national and international focus erased the personal element of local unions. ''The Labor Leader'' began publishing household hints, news briefs and poetry. (5)		The tension between church and labor continued. In November, 1919 J. M. Conley, editor of The Labor Leader," was scheduled to speak to the Dubuque Ministerial Association in January, 1920 on the topic, "How the Church Can Gain and Hold the Labor Classes." (5)
