Perhaps you are talking about the variable.labels attribute returned
by read.spss in package foreign? If so, you should try the
attributes() or the attr() function:

?attributes
?attr

I'm not sure what you mean by the $variables.label property.
Are you just looking for the column names?
If your data frame is called "df", try
     names(df)
