You aren't the only one.  This is one of the major advantages
AppleWorks Classic has over AppleWorks GS.  I'm hoping that Quality
Computers will add multiple column label support to AWGS when they
release a new version.

I haven't used AWGS enough to know how the Mail Merge facility works.

You might be able to do something using the Page Layout module.  

Another possibility would be to print the labels in vertical strips.
Do about a third of them using the left column, then change your
margins and go back to the first page to print the next third (onto
the middle column), then repeat for the right column.

Ugly, but it saves you wasting two thirds of your labels.
