a Plea to the workingmen Of Barre By
Barre Man,

Io those Of you who are members Of
trades unions, and who pride yourselves
on for your unionisln these few words are
penned.
You have lately given hi example of
what can be done by collective action,
to wit.-the recent street railway dis
pute And in carrying out the aims Of
organized labor to its logical conclusion
insofar as 1t relates to the industrial
side Of this question you nave as the
old song says, ''got q long way to go.H
Let me point out what may be ex-
pected from man who claims the title
of union man. To appear at the month
" meeting of his union, take the obliga-
|tion, pay his dues every
month, and never attend another meet
ing, (until d lockout Is in the windy does
not constitute q union man. To enter
|Hhe stores of our merchants and pur-
chase commodities that do not bear the
union label does not constitute union
man. No, my friends, these men are
merely members Of the nnion," and are
generally more interested in base ball
and foot ball than they are In their own
interests.
Az NtNttti tlic LAbtt VI q NtA&0t1 iAlon va
are expected to be d good standing, good
attending, member of your organization.
You should Be prepared to accept chal-
lenge at all times as to whether you
wear tmion.inade clothes, shoes, hats,
caps, etc. II married, you are expected
To engraft those principles upon the
thinking powers" Of your better half.
Il you happen to be the officer Of a union
and are aware OF the fact that there is
sach thing as union label, and you
wilfuliy neglect to purchase union-made
goods, yon are q traitor to the labor
movement, and stand IN the same cata-
CORY as the employer who hires scabs.
These are harsh words, my brother work
men, but nevertheless true, as you will
readily admit when it Is pointed out to
you, that, IL union man does not pro-
duce the necessities Of your life, such as
food, clothing, etc, they must be pro-
duced by the non-unionist or scab. You
see as you move along that from time
to time, though noininally a workman,
you become an employer of labor, and
when you reckon on some 100000 or
ganized woTkmen in this country you
realize what a mighty force Il, or should
be, working for the abolition Of your
penal sweat hell, and child labor sys-
tenn.
