MAGHINISTS' SPRING CAMPAIGN OPENS' | Organizer Talks to Small Crowd on Benefits of Unionism Less than fifty at the persons were in at- of Machinists’ Owing to labor troubles | in Boston, Vice-president Frank M. Jennings, who was scheduled to ad- dress the meeting, w unable to ap- | pear, and instead Morris of \Worcester, an organizer for the In- ternational Machinists union, filled the role of speaker. John I. Quinn presided at the meeting, In his opening remarks Mr. Quinn told of the succ that the local union has attained in the few months of its existence, picturing the fine quarters which are open to the mem- Lers at all times, and urged that all men employed at machine trades join the union and assist in the fight Yor the eight hour day Predicts Fight This Spring. Organizer Morris said that the international Machinists union of the United States commenced a campaign of education in the eight hiour day and hoped to enroll all men immediately in the fight to be waged this spring for the demands of a shorter day. In ‘speaking of the question of preparedness, he said the rachinists should take advantage of | the opportunity that is open to them at present, and not pay so much at- tention to the sort of preparedness that is preached by the “loud mouthed politiciar Workmen in this coun- try, the speaker said, are confronted with one of the strongest combines, the National Metal association, they have ever faced. Ashamed He Was an American, “Flunkets” or “lackeys” in the role of foremen in factories, are constant- ly working up a state of nationality strife, by approaching different nationalties and telling them that they are superior to the other fellow skill as workmen, he said.

The speaker said that at conditions are better than ever fore for securing shorter hours on wecount of the demand for munitions nd machinery to manufacture the me. He said the sweep which started in Bridgeport had practically taken in most of the New England tates. He spoke of a system of in- dividual method of paying workmen in the Brown & Sharpe company wherby men did not get the same wages for similar kind of work, and told another what he received, nple cause for immediate The recent eight hour wave, however, has been instru- mental in wiping out this method from the concern, he claimed. In Pittsburg and surrounding towns, Morris said, there is an un- derstanding between the manufact- urers that after a man has reached the age of 45 years he is let go, for the company figures that if he has worked as hard as he is supposed to @do under their system he has reached the limit usefullness, and if his hair has not turned gray it is an evidence, the factory owners, feel that he has hirked his duties, and he is let go, 1st the same, * Morris said that he inew of many cases where workmen have dyed their hair so as to try and retain their method of livelihood. Are Working Men Afraid?. Chairman Quinn said he was sorry that so few put in an appearance to hear the speaker. He intimated that workmen were afraid to take a chance to attend a labor meeting, fearing the wrath of the local manu- facturers. The union has planned a number of similar meetings and at the next March 8, Daniel Donovan, ! one of the ablest labor organizers in the country will address the men. | The benefits derived from the union, Mr. Quinn said, should .appeal to every man who is eligible.
