There are two issues here: alignment ad justification.
Alignment is about where the whole label will be put within the
space allocated to the widget by gtk's geometry management.
Justification is about where a line of the label stays
relatively to the other lines.

You need to align the label (it's a descendent of GtkMisc) with
gtk_misc_set_alignment(GTK_MISC(label), 0.0, 0.5);
gtk_label_set_justify() is most usefull with multi-line labels...
