You want to create a class in your layer and place it there.
http://mapserver.org/mapfile/class.html
Like this:
MAP
LAYER
CLASS
LABEL
END # end of label
END # end of class
END #end of layer
END #end of map

Mark,
You will want to add a LABEL block to your mapfile.
http://mapserver.org/mapfile/label.html
I would also comment out the maxscale until you get the labels working.

Hi all,
Ok so now I have a new problem with the labeling.
I would like to get my labels to start showing up at a scale of 1:1000000 but
nothing is working...
here is a snippet of my mapfile...
LAYER
NAME 'mjcities'
TYPE POINT
DUMP false
EXTENT -143.210462 39.001401 -50.461045 85.911094
DATA '../data/mjcities.shp'
METADATA
'ows_title' 'mjcities'
END
STATUS default
MAXSCALE 1000000
TRANSPARENCY 100
CLASSITEM 'NAME'
LABELITEM 'NAME'
PROJECTION
'proj=longlat'
'datum=WGS84'
'no_defs'
END
CLASS
NAME 'mjcities'
STYLE
SYMBOL "circle"
SIZE 15.0
OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
COLOR 182 109 194
END
Thanks,
Mark
