TO hearing the address OF President Stokes
In opening his address he said: mot only
are the members of the order more united
in sentiment, but the leaven has permeated
the entire civil and political lump. The
average small merchant and small business
man in every line has been reduced into a
mere collecting agent for the big combines,
taking bis chance for getting a preoarious
living for himself and family by handling
goods for the soulless aggregation Of greed"
