Call to Local Unions.
Waterille, June 10, 1916.
In accordance with the laws of Maine
governing corporations and the bylaws
| of the Farmers Union of Maine, you are
notified that the 4th annual meeting Of
the corporation will be held at Armory
1916. The meeting will be called to order
at 10 o'clock in the forenoon and remain
in session until the business Of the or
ganization is completed.
will be held at the above Armory and
the delegates are requested to be sure
to arrive in Waterville so as to be present
and take part in the various discussions.
We would like to impress upon you the
Importance of this evening meeting. If
you attend you will agree with me that
the information you will get will be Of
great value in your future operations
There will be speakers present from out
of the State and general discussion will
take place on various questions, but the
selling OF potatoes and apples through
the auction methods will be the speciai
We hope the delegates will improve this
opportunity TO place themselves in close
touch with the past. present and the fu-
ture of the movement. We shall expect
70 hear from all the delegates concerning
various matters and especially we hope
they will acquaint the management with
the conditions that obtain in the various
locals.
The organization has now reached large
proportions and should the Farmers
Union assume the burden Of meeting the
expenses of the delegates the burden
would be heavy, but on the other hand. il
each local pays the expense of its own
representatives the burden will be evenly
distributed and but little for each local.
For this reason I am instructed by the
Executive Board to notify the Unions
that they request that they assume the
travelling and other expense Of their rep
resentatives.
Send your business report and the name
OF your delegates to the Farmers Union
OF Maine, Waterville, Maine, and kindly
attend to this promptly.
Respectfully,
FARMERS UNION OF MAINE. 4
