GREAT UNION.
Nearly Two Hundred Saw Mill Men
Join the UniOn-MayorI Vasaly
Helped in the Work, Is a Union
Printer-Good Officers Were
Elected-Many New Unions Are
Promised There.

The meeting of the working men
held at Maurin hall Sunday evening
was largely attended by representa-
tive laboring men of the city. The
hall was seated to it's utmost capacity
and those who were unable to get into
the hall filled the outside hallway.
The meeting was held for the pur-
pose of paving the way for the organ
ization of labor unions in the citl. The
meeting Sunday night was an .unquali-
fled success in that respect, all present
being enthusiastic for the organization
of labor. A number of employers were
also present and agreed with the speak
ers that organized labor would benefit
both the employer and employe in the
city.
All but one of the speakers adver-
tised appeared at the meeting, Mr.. Nc
Even, secretary of the state Fedora
ton failed to catch the train Sunday
and could not arrive in time for the
meeting. He arrived in the city at
midnight Sunday, however, and will
address the meeting at the court house
this evening.
Mayor Vasaly presided over the
meeting as chairman and in a few
preliminary remarks welcomed the
gathering as mayor of the city. Mr..
Vasaly sai1 he would promote the well
fare of the workers, because he him
self is union man and knows the
benefits Of organization, also because
the state Federation meets in the city
next June and the more unions to
properly care for and welcome them,
the better.
Mayor Vasaly introduced President
Neary of the State Federation, who
said:
II am indeed glad to see such a
large audience this evening, certainly
representative of labor and prepared
to fairly consider problems Of the day.
The labor problem is the greatest Of
ALL There are combinat tions in every
industry in the land, employers bind
ing themselves together everywhere,
only the worker hangs back. Individ-
ually he is not strong, united he is a
power. No antagonism is intended to-
ward any industry or corporation IN
this city. Only the workers Of the city,
the producers of the wealth are asked
to unite in the furtherance of their in
terests. We have no desire to revo-
lutionize the city; no wish, far from 1t,
to promote a strike, as strikes are alb
solutely the last resort. Organized la
Dor does not believe in them. It pre-
fers always conciliatory, fair methods.
You all are familiar with the power of
organization. The. State Federation.
now has $4,000 members 1t is a bond
of union between all its members and
