The following interview with Mrs

more about the objects Of the union meet

Mrs. Jack Wright of Montgomery
Grand Sentinel of the Grand international
Auxiliary to the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, addressed an enthusiastic
audience composed of the representatives
of all the railroad people in Pensacola
Monday morning at $3.50 o'clock In Odd
Fellows Hall, on the subject of the great
union meeting of all the railroad organi-
cations in the South, to be held In Mont
gomery in April or June. 1903, Mrs
Wright Is a womanly and a very attrac-
tive speaker. That her heart and mind
are intelligently engaged in her work. is
evident. Her ability as an organizer and
executive. is proved by her official posi-.
ton in one of the most powerful Of wo.
mems organizations. During q pleasant
interview with her at the. home of Mrs
George Hoffman, the writer learned much
of the devoted efforts of the wives and
daughters of the railroad men to uShold
their efforts to attain the highest and
best in life and in their organizations
Mrs. Wright said:
IF every member Of our Council will
show the enthusiasm and the interest
that was shown this morning by the men,
bers in Pensacola, we cannot fail in this
undertaking. The members Of our Coun-
Gil feel that we cannot estimate the good
that will accrue to the railroad people of
the South through this meeting.
There has never been such meeting
in this section of the country and 1t will
be unique and unparalleled. in it's way
I'm her address Mrs. Wright among
other things said, in substance that while
the railroad people, as individuals, stand
high and are admittedly At to grace any
assembly, as a class they have never been
able to take their rightful position, which
81 eat meetings like the one contemplated
in Montgomery, will aid them to do.
This meeting will also be means of
bringing about a more fraternal feeling
among the men whose lives are spent
together and among their wives. Repre-
sentatives from all over the United States
will be in attendance and it Is desired
ito show our brothers from the East and
North and West. that we, too, are about
as well organized as they are and that
our sympathies are Just as deeply engag-
ed ard, that it Is only in the matter of
numbers in which they surpass us-not
in enthusiasm
Another strong point she made in IA
vor of the great union meeting 10 the
opportunity it will afford the railroad
people, so many of whom, men and wo-
men, rarely have an opportunity Of meet
ing the grand officers of the several or
ganiza tons in which they are interested.

THE railroad people of this section are
very much enthused and are looking for
ward with great pride and satisfaction,
as this meeting Is as important to the
railroad people as a convention.
There was an impromptu reception to
Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Levy, at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. George Hoffman last
night, previous to the departure of those
ladies'. and the visitors left with good
idea of the enthusiastic hospitality that
awaits the delegates to the big union
