for dir in /media/removable/*
do
    mount /dev/disk/by-label/"$dir" /media/removable/"$dir"
done

Note the lack of $ in the first line.  That's a fatal bug.

The quotes around "$dir" in the third line should be used, but if you
forget them, it'll *probably* still work in most cases, because your
directory names probably don't contain spaces or glob characters.
Until that day in the distant future when all of a sudden, they do,
and everything falls down.
