things TO eat during the day and cigars

Two Large Additions to

Yesterday afternoon the employees of the
Atlas engine works gathered in the new
warehouse at the works and listened to
short talk by Hugh II. Hanna, president
of the concern. The men gathered shortly
after the l o'clock whistle blew, at the
signal given by the bugle corps which
belongs to the Atlas Works Republican
Club. Mr.. Hanna talked to the men about
matter which he believed concerned them
directly
lie said in part: II shall vote the straight
Republican ticket tomorrow 1 shall do
so because the people are now prosper
Gus and well employed. / shall vote that
way because / believe this prosperity is
based on the gold standard law and be-
cause the Republican party is pledged to
its maintenance, and because If this law
is maintained, l believe there will be a
number of years of prosperity and of ac-
tive employment of the people. / shall
oppose Bryan and his associate candidates
because Bryan openly declares he will over
throw the gold standard law, and there
fore, in my opinion. his election would
destroy confidence, ruin trade for several
years and throw the people out of work.
In conclusion 4 make the statement that
III the election results favOrably in the inter-
tStS VI SOuiu HNNty laws the AlldS euSltlt
works will proceed Immediately to erect
new boiler shop 1900 feet long and a
new foundry 300 feet long These addi-
tional buildings would afford employment
TO a great many more men.
IF Bryan and his associate candidates
are elected this company will not have
the courage TO invest any more capital
in buildings. L feel il TO be my plain
duty to you to candidly tell you how /
shall vote and my reasons for doing so.
for | know the result of this election will
be of the utmost Importance to the BUSH
ness L conduct and to every man in its
service. | do not ask you to tell me how
YOU will vote, | simply want to tell you
what L shall do myself"
Mr.. Hanna remarks were received with
enthusiasm by the men and at the con-
clusion of his talk there was earnest APP
plause. All appeared to feel that the re-
marks were made in the interests of both
employer and employe, and the frank and
manly way in which Mr.. Hanna submitted
Lis views was admired by the men. All
seemed to be much pleased over the Incl
cent.

sixth precinct of the Seventh ward, from
