ING.
The call has been issued for another
opening meeting for the machinists of the
city TO be held Friday evening OF this
week Business Agent Churchill has is
sued the call as follows:
To the Unorganized Machinists OF Provi-
dence:
Greeting-Are you OF the opinion that
you are now enjoying all the luxuries OF
this world that you are entitled To en-
JOY? DO you think that your wife and
family are not entitled TO have some of
the enjoyment of this life? Why do not
you waken TO the responsibilities placed
on your shoulders and try some way 10
assist yourself and not be a drone on
the Labor market any longer? Remem-
ber that anything worth having Is worth
working for. And success Is sure TO be
his that works untirelingly for some OBJ
Ject. The organized machinists OF Provi-
dence are at this time working night and
day for your benefit and are you not will
Ing TO help yourself just a little. So az 10
help carry the load thet we are carrying
for you. Why do you go TO your shop so
early every day because you like TO get
away from your home and family for 10
short hours TO forget that you have n
work TO perform on this earth for man
kind. Did you ever stop 10 think that
every mortal on this globe has some work
20 perform for the betterment OF man
kind7
Some are put here to make laws for
men and women OF different callings
OF which they know nothing about
Such as our congresmen and senator's
and others to make all the machinery
that Is to be used. Others TO arrange
the hours and wages OF the machinlsts
Does IL ever strike you as you read
your daily paper how much interest
the politician shows for your welfare
and concern just at present, and how
they change right after you have
votedY That alone had ought TO be
enough 10 show you where you ought TO
be. And what they think OF you I'm your
unorganized state
Are you so strong and magnificent that
you do not need any help or protection
When all the large trusts and monopolies
have to have the strong arm of protection
by law TO hold them up2 Don't you think
that poor machinist with only his la
Dor to sell needs little bit OF protection
as well as these large trusts OF organized
wealth. What do you think Mr. Machin-
ist is II not pretty near time you woke
up?
Look over the dark page OF our history
that took place In Colorado during the
miners strike tn that state and -sEp If
you can see anything beautiful about
such actions. We are all liable TO have
our chance I'm life stormy way. And the
best way I'm my opinion Is to prepare
while We have the opportunity The edi-
torials In the daily papers call TO our at
tention the rough shod extravaganza OF
our legislative members travelling 20 all
parts of the country on political errands
10 assist I'm the election OF trusts and rail-
road interested politicians DO you ever
notice In any OF our daily papers OF any
OF these politicians trying to do anything
0at will better the conditions of the
working man outside OF telling us either
10 vote for high or low tariff? DO YOU
ever hear OF them expOunding the s.
hour work day?
DO you notice how the moneyed in
terest OF this country are echoing the
election OF Congressman Littlefeld OF the
second Maine district from one end OF
the country 10 the other Can YOU expect
ever TO receive any good from such men
as these. How carefully they prepare the
different avenues 10 perpetuate and 10
make impossible the Improvement of
your present conditions
My machinist friends. do you not
hihhh ~ ~ nleh time that YOU came 10
your full sense OF your duty as a work
ingman and became affiliated with the or
ganization that is trying TO oblterate
these conditions

your cooperation In this great work and
Join with us and on the next Labor day

and family man. BE sure and come TO
the machinists' open meeting Sept n
