A PARADE AFTER ALL

There will be a parade in New Ulm
after all. The citizens of meadow
Valley have decided that Fourth of
July celebration in New Ulm without a
parade is not to be thot of and they will
arrange a parade Of their own, which
will start at the Public Landing promptly
at 900 o'clock in the morning, pass down
Front Street, thence back on Valley
to Third South, on this street up to
Broadway to Ninth North, to Minnesota
Street, thence down Minnesota street
to First South Street, down First South
Street to the Public Landing.
Immediately upon the arrival of the
parade at the picnic grounds there will
be Fourth of July address by w. H.
Dempsey, the well-known attorney Of
this city. Efforts are being made to
secure a German speaker also but it is
not certain at this time whether he can
be secured. In the afternoon there will
be addresses by Mayor Wd. Eibner and
Anton S. Dorm, candidate for Represent
alive. A large platform has been erect
ed and there will be dancing not only

manager is put in charge Of plant
his sole idea is to make showing and
he cares nothing for the workers or their
rights. Probably the people who own
the business know little or nothing of the
methods employed to secure the results
which the manager lays before them and
in tbs way oftentimes abuses are brot
alot. Mr.. Gordon also mentioned
organization of women, which topic was
taken up by the next speaker, Miss
Mary Corey, of Mankato.
Woman Speaker
Miss Corey is the Secretary OF the
Garment Makers Union and she ad-
dressed her remarks chiefly to women and
girls of New Ulm who are employed IN
various industries. She pleaded with
the women workers not to DO mems
work at a price less than the men could
get for doing the same thing. She told
them thew must consider that when they
begin to take the places Of the boys
who have gone to France they must
keep up the standard of wages so that
the BOYS when they come home must
not find that there have been traitors
here in Their places, cutting down the
standard of wages which men have
worked so long to raise to the present
point She also urged the women work
ers to cooperate with the men and en-
courage them and assist them IN forming
their unions.
Nation Backing Unions
The next speaker on the list was
Josh Brady who has been working with
Mr.. Spielmann in New Ulm. He, too,
mentioned the reputation New Ulm has
uniustIy been given and said that he
was convinced that the people here are
quite as loyal as those elsewhere and that
they are giving real service to the grand
est country under the sun. Mr.. Brady
talked of the ideals of the American
Federation of Labor, proclaiming them
as the highest and most noble. He
illustrated the power Of Labor and show
ed that if laboring men are unionized
they are the greatest force in the world
and nothing can withstand them. He
also showed that in the present CRISIS
of the country, the national government
is solidly behind the Federation work.

Makers Union from tie time that the
cigar makers took tier pay in board
and cigars to the present time When they
2e. real money for their work. he also
sketched the history of the Union Label
and showed how Samuel Gompers be-
came associated with the Federation
of which he is at present the head.
Not Trouble Makers
The last speaker E. H. Hall, President
of the Minnesota State Federation Of
Labor, talked on the attitude Of the
public toward unionization. He said
it is often felt that as soon as laboring
men become unionized that troubles
inevitably follow. He says it is not the
idea of the union to make trouble but
to keep the laboring men from being
imposed upon by their employers. He
said that if conditions for laboring men
are satisfactory in New Ulm the union
ization of labor need mean no trouble
whatever but if employers are taking
advantage Of their Individual workers
the union will make it posi- BILE for the
laboring men to secure decent COM
pensation for a fair days work.
