is an address delivered by Mr. A. B. Freeman,
Manager Of the Hat Finishers' Union, on the occa-
sion of their first Anniversary celebration, but at
that time omitted from our report on account Of
scarcity of room.
GENTLEMEN The task which has been assigned
me this evening pleasing one, as 1t affords me an
opportupy of laying before our friends the causes
which led TO our organization In the fall OF $780,
when our trade was enjoying fair degree OF pros
perliy. an individual of more shrudeness then prn-

the bitter Indignation of the ;ourneymen the re-
suit was that many were deprived OF then employ
ment and consequently of their support.
The clouds gathered thick and fast, threatening
dreadful sto!rl-when suddenly light broke iorth,
revealing the clear sunshine Of UnlOn-soon the

Finishers Union was added TO the business esiao-
