Night.

The opera house was filed to its ca
pacity last evening, when an entertain.
ment was given under the auspices Of
the Central Labor union Of Barre and

unions. or. al they are called, medical
associations; but they are organized for
the very purpose that labor Is organ

The speaker went on to show then
how each individual is under a trades
