The great meeting is over. The mem
bers elected representatives to go TO this
meeting and delegated TO them the power
20 act. They went, acted &c they thought
best, and it is plainly the deity Of said
members to indor5e this action. Renem-
Der that tiesc delegates we're selected
on account of their ability 10 represent
your interests, srd believe that they did
] exactly what they thought was for the
I best. Should complaint he made at this
| action, It only lends to nullify the effecA
of the worl: already done and discredits
your common sense in selecting the men
TO represent you.
Now that officers have been elected
and Installed for the year, do NO. sit
DOWN quietly oad depend upon them to
DO al tha work. Ia this great campaign
tire IS q duty for each and every ore
10 perform. Makes no difference how IN
= rrv1sr 70 NJ
ycU lave your part to Go just as we'll
as he fellows who arc considered 20 be
'wey up. In a movement of such gi-
gsntic proportion, the selected leaders de-
serve ard last have the support and
cooperation Of every person interested
in the work.
Do you know Of SOME ore In your
immediate neighborhood xh0 should be-
long - the Union, and if be did belong
would make sn active and valuable MEM
her: Juet few worls from you might
iniuce h;m Il COM in. Speak the.
word before lie r-cnth i out. If every
paying member would brig in Just ono
new member dnrirs re first thrco
months OF the yeer, April ; would SEE
the nun,ber increos7,l from $4,000 to
5n,oC0. The result is well v9-;h 20
liort ar1 4 Is lit'a 70 as': each .4e,1.-
Der at Pieaent to try 10 bring IN one
new one.
Whoever ra5e Il possible for the la
dies 20 Join in this great work certainly
deserves the plaudts of al. Their srlcH-
did influence was felt in the meeting
just psscl A number were present and
took part IN the proceedings. One Was
elected .secretary-treasurer. anl another
delegate TO the National Union. Ser
that eligible ladies are induced to join
each local and give the movement their
influence. Il is needed.
Hold your right hand high up and
take pladge right now tat you will
do Just double the work for the Union
in 1910 that you d:d in 1909. Come to
the convention next year, and see what
the result has been. You win not only
feel better yourself, but others viii BE-
Influenced By your enthusiasm. Action
IF this character is highly contagious.
While the Union in Mississippi Is only
credited ct present with $4,000 paying
members, it should be remembered that
ladies arc net charged dues. Their work
il often Of more benefit than that of the
paying members.
Something has been said about tho
"big men" at the convention. This il
4 mistake In this great organization
enc member is just as Big as the other.
Every tub stands on its own bottom.
A few minutes of work during enc
year by each member of the organiza.
tion ct present viii insure ia trebling in
numbers and results.
The Union Al acgtc could be made
even better than Il IS, If members wosla
contrib9te shoiS articles on Iva sab
jects to Its columns.
Do your part in sprcaing the good
news of unionism from the Atlantic 10
The Pacific and from the Gulf to the
Great Lakes.
