It is 10 the laboring men that we must look for the peace, happiness and material prosperity of this great country.

We have been very fortunate indeed in the good feeling that has prevailed between laborer and employer in this community.

It is with pride and satisfaction that we point to the speedy and amicable adjustment of what few slight differences we have had in the past. "One of the first questions asked when any one comes here to look for a location for a factory is, 1: the attitude of labor? Is it And fortunately we have been able to point with pride to the friendly feeling that has always existed between employers and employees; and this has done as much to aid 11S in locating factories and building up the industries of this section as any other one thing.

She lies between two states, the Mother of Presidents and the hot bed of Secession; and from her geographical position, combined with her varying altitudes, posseases a greater variety of soll, surface and vegetation than any equal extent of contiguous territory in the world. "Basking in the sunshine of the temperate zone, her head pillowed In the land of the sky, her feet resting on the ocean, her snowy bosom rising to the clouds, she rests serene in the majesty of her might.

She guards vast treasures of gold and silver, emeralds and opals adorn her brow, while the hem of her royal robe, dipped in the Atlantic, is embroidered with pearls and the riches of the ocean."

Samuel A. Elliott is here from Me- "I am glad that a day has been set apart where laboring men of all professions can meet and discuss matters affecting their welfare, and tending to better their condition, for upon the betterment of their tion depends the continued growth of this already great and growing community; to meet with you and to welcome you here, and to assure you of our earnest desire to cooperate with you in the development and upbuilding of this vicinity, upon the prosperity of which the happiness of 80 many depends."

He thought it fitting that labor should be memorialized the country over by observance of the nationalholiday. M. G. Webb, of Baltimore. a member of the executive committee of the National Window Glass Workers, was the last speaker.

Mr. Webb's time was limited and he did not go exhaustively into his subject of organized labor. He pointed out organized labor's achievements and the advantages of unionism. He stated that the unorganized man was a stumbling block to the one who was. He conceded that many, perhaps, received better wages unorganized than the organized get, but he showed how if all were organized they.

would all get more wages. He declared that labor demanded its share of what it produced. Mr. Webb emphasized the importance and effectiveness of organized labor by referring to an announcement on one of the floats to the effect that a wage advance of forty-five per cent had been granted within the year. Without organization this, said.

would not have been granted. Mr. Webb paid, tribute to the ladies and emphasized the fact that they are becoming much interested in the labor cause. His speech like the others provoked hearty applause. Grateful for Aid.
