Geological Survey, LIVE UP TO UNIONISM Was Plea of National Organ izer Reid Last Night ADDRESSED LARGE CROWD Declared That They Had Not Done Everything When They Had Simply Joined the .'' Union. Stuart Ttcid, national organizer for the American Federation of Labor, address ed a large audience at the City Park last evening. Mr. Reid is an eloquent and a forceful speaker and held the close attention of his bearers. The npeakcr said in part: "I under stand that Barre is an organized town but in the short time that 1 have been here I have noticed some faults. I don't know as these impress you as they have me. We may have an organized town but not have a union town. The conditions of labor here are as good if not 'better than anywhere else in the country. "We have men who are nuion men be cause it is convenient and we have men who are union men because they believe in unionism and for the sake of prin ciple. Tins trade union of today is first of all a straight business proposition and 'secondly it is built, on the principle and command of the Great Redeemer of mankind who lived more than two thou sand years ago. . . "!t is a. business proposition because the humblest laborer that works is a business man. Buying and selling makes a business mam You buy and you have something to aclt; it is the most im portant commodity on the market that this world knows of. It is the founda tion of all other comuuKlities. You sell your labor. : - ."But we sometimes do not progress as rapidly as we could wish. Wo are Mip posed to be a Democracy; but we are hardly that us long as "theie are cluss distinctions in this country. The trade union seeks to band men together; it is founded ou a business projsisif ion and on that command of The Carpenter of Nazareth when he said to His disciples, "Love one another as I ave loved you." The trade union seeks to carry out that command, ' "When yu go into a union store see that the union lalel is on every article that you buy. The majority of clothing in Barre does not bear the union label. I WHiit.to say to you union men who have secured thfr eight hour day and a better wage through unionism that you on your part have not done all that yon might do to make unionism here what it ought to lie. My union friends and you who are not friends of the union, f want to say to you that we ore here to slay and you can't shake us off. "The unions have said for years that you should not enter politics but the manifesto has gone forth from the head quarters of orjnmized labor in Washing ton, 'Go info politics and keep the men nt home who have for years legislated ntiainst you.' In a little while you men of Barre are going' to have a chance to send men to that beautiful state hotise of yours at Montpelier. The spirit of jealousy h prevented election of labor ing men; you must lay aside your petty selfishness, I say as the famous states man once said, 'Hang together or you will all hang separately.' Elect union men 4o go t. your halls of legislature to legislate for you." Organizer Reid SKnnt the greater part of the day yesterday being shown about town, seeing the granite imiuttry and being introduced to the principal lalxir leaders of Barre. Tonight he speaks in Montpelier and tomorrow night iuNoith-la-Id. Burlington is likely to be his next stop and that on Saturday, This trip throughout Vermont is to build up the labor union oause, and Mr Reid will spend ten days or two weeks before re turning to Maine, where he is actively engaged in the ballot Iwx light against Congressman Littlelield who is seeking re election, with the American Federa tion of Labor hanging to his haunches. Congressman Littlelield was one of the men .singled out by the Federation in particular as a target for their attack. TO PURIFY WATER. Burlington Committee Favors $75,000 Filtration Plant.
