STEAKS To TEXTILE WORKERS

Governor Garvin received a raking over
the Goals AT the hands OF Thomas Nc
/ Hugh. a Democratic assembly man from
I Pawtucket last night, before an opening
meeting Of the Central Falls branch OF
the United Textile workers Of America.
The meeting was held in Fales hall
| Central Falls and was attended by a
good gathering OF workers from various
labor organization OF Pawtucket
There were several speakers before Mr.
McHugh but his scoring OF the present
governor and his attitude toward organi-
zed labor was a sensational burst OF
oratory.
He urged the labor unions 10 go into
the field and get men % represent them
who came from their own ranks and Who
know the needs ana desires Of the WORK
ing men instead Of doctors and lawyers.
ITO keep partisan politics out OF the
union may be all right I'm .ts way, but
the paramount question now before the
labor organizations Is 10 have men nom
mated who win be alive 10 their inter
ests and welfare We have indorsed doc
tors and lawyers too long for these places
OF trust"
Garvin has time enough 70 write maga-
zine articles about bribery N this sta re.
but Is II not a fast that ms own norm-
nation as governor was secured in some
such way? An hour before the conven-
ton was ca lied 10 order there was n
sufficient number OF delegates To insure
the nomination OF Mr.. Fitzgerald OF Paw
tucket but he did not get the nomina-
tion. II III becomes DR. Garvin 10 speak
hrfhnrN uyh hat Wit N n
on the morning OF the Democratic state
convention"
NO LABoRING MEN.
I'VE are told that Gov. Garvin has
always been with the workingman. but
when he has chance 10 show thi. friend
ship II seems 10 me that he has not done
SO. or the a appoin tments made by him
ne failed 10 appoint a solitary laboring
man 10 any. For instance after solicit
Ing the sentiment OF the different labor
unions as regards a candidate for factory
Inspector, We saw him completely ignore
their wishes and desire and nominate
for the place a man because he happened
10 be a personal friend
Why the lahoring men of the state
should rally around the standard Of Gov
Garvin is beyond my understanding
Since 1856 there have been Just two labor
measures passed by the General Assem-
plS, one Dslng the cs-hour law and the
other the BARRIERS hill. so-ealled. both
OF which IT was my honor 70 present
The sooner the laboring masses take
q stand In politics and nominate men
who have their interests az heart. in
stead OF indorsing the nominees OF either
party, the better II will be for them
There Is absolutely no hope unless We
do adopt such course"
