I think you can have multiline text in Label when you insert the charater '\n'.
Try
Label(text = 'something')

for horizontal labels and 
Label(text = string.join('something', '\n'))

for vertical labels.

You can also play with "justify" to have the letters properly placed, like in
Label(text = string.join('something', '\n'), justify = CENTER)
