Victorian Boots, Buckingham & Hecht Steampunk Boots, Black Leather Womens Boots Size, White Labor League. 8 buttons on each boot, scalloped fringe
No manufacturer using this White Labor Stamp was permitted to employ Chinese in the making of Boots or Shoes in the wake of fighting against eastern imported products. These white labor unions were founded to further prevent the employment of chinese labor in the US from the 1850's through to the 1890's and bolster such acts as the anti coolie act 1862, naturalization act 1870 and the Chinese exclusion act of 1882.
