A SUCCESSFUL
GET-TO-GETHER


Union men and women and their
friends Wednesday evening.
At about $3.50 p. IN. President
Moncur called the meeting to order
and without any long-winded pre-
liminaries plunged into the program.
He announced that the first thing
on the program would be the rails
ing of the new flag over the Labor
! Temple. The audience gathered in
the street in front of the Temple,
listened to a short speech by Sec
rotary Charles Perry Taylor of the
Federation of Labor and then Flag
Sergeant j. c. North hauled the
flag to the topmost top of the
pole.
When the audience were again
comfortably seated a vocal selec-
ton by a trio was rendered which
called for a hearty encore. The
names of the trio were Everett
Johnson, Tom Holstrom and Gus
tav Dalstead, the first two machin-
list helpers and the last, Bro. Dali
sted, meat cutter at the Independ-
ent Table Supply.
President Moncur then called on
Bro. Tom Altman, who in turn in
troduced Mr.. VIM. Howarth. That
gentleman in a short address ex-
planned to the audience the objects
of the Y. M. C. A. war drive to
start next Sunday and feelingly and
delecately asked the workers for a
share of Everett's contribution. Mr..
Howarth said that third of one
days average pay would be enough
for workingman to contribute and
estimated that third at $1.25. Mr..
Howarth's appeal to the workers
was well received
Following Mr.. Howarth's remarks
Bro. Dalstead favored the audience
with baritone solo, accompanied
by Mrs. M. Fort jackson. They
were literally encored.
The president then introduced Bro
Charles Perry Taylor, Secretary of
the Washington State Federation of
Labor, who delivered an address full
of valuable information, sound advice
and spiced with sparks of humor.
He told of the phenomenal growth
of the American Federation and
the State Federation and empha-
sized Labor's determination to
emerge from the war more firmly
established in its rights and per-
manently entrenched against the
powers of greed and oppression.
Bros. Johnson Holstrom and
Dalstead again entertained with an
other song.
Then there was sprung upon the
audience as neat an athletic per-
Torrance as was ever witnessed in
Everett. The Hubert twins (about
s years old) entertained the au-
dience with four-round boxing con-
test. Tom Altman referred 1t
took only a casual observer to notice
that the ladies were as deeply in
terested in this fistic encounter as
were the members of the sterner
sex.
This was followd by a fine ext
bition of buck and wing dancing
as any one would wish to see. The
name of the gentleman performing
was not given.
This ended the first part of the
entertainment and the audience adj
journed to the upper hall and par
took of dainty and bountiful lunch
served by the Label Leaguers and
their male help
After lunch the remainder of the
evening was given over to dancing
