A man to succeed must do some one thing
well. The man who 'gets on" can do his
work as we'll as any other man. The man
who wants anything that he can get finds
it impossible to get anything. Men must
fit themselves by knowledge and the op-
portunity to get this would come because
of better chances in life brought by or
ganized labor.
Speaking of wages, Mr.. Lacy said: "The
women in the homes are the poorest paid
of ALL they get their victuals and clothes
and work sixteen or eighteen hours a
day, but never strike"
Position said the speaker, "does not
come from the money you have, the
clothes you wear, or the name that is
given you. 1t comes because of your own
work and your own life. 1t is integrity
and character that you must build on
Mr.. Lacy congratulated the labor or
ganizations represented before him. and
said the Brotherhood would be in the
allied unions, but for certain laws in
their charter.
Speaking of himself, the speaker said
that he was a machinist and that he was
proud of it, that no man had ever heard
him deny it, and that he was the same
ben" now that he was, State Treasurer
as he had been before.
II believe in strikes" said he, they are
the last resort, and when it is necessary
believe a strike should come, just as
legal killing should come when it is
necessary.
In closing Mr.. Lacy spoke of the ne
cessity of labor and capital working in
harmony. Capital wants to get as much
labor as it can for its money, and labor
wants to get as much money as it can for
it's work" was his happy way of putting
the situation. Between these two he
wished there was happy medium where
both would receive one hundred cents on
each dollar of cash or labor invested.
THE BARBECUE FEAST.
After the happy close of Mr.. Lacy's
speech, Mr.. Faison made the announce
ment of the further programme. He said
for all had been provided and that fol-
lowing this would be ball game to which
everybody was invited.
