An integrated assembly of apparatus for feeding labels to a container labeling machine includes a variable speed label-transfer roller which rotates at a slow speed when picking up a label and a higher speed when transferring the label to a label turret, and a label magazine which is advanced in a tangential path toward the transfer roller and retracted clear of the path by a guide which is yieldably connected to the label magazine and rotated by a crank. When a container is not present in the feed path to the label turret, the movement of the label magazine toward the transfer roller is prevented by a blocking arm which is actuated by a rotary solenoid. The yieldable connection between the guide and the label magazine affords relative movement between the guide and the label magazine when the magazine is blocked and the guide continues to rotate.
