GIVES MUCH PRAISE B.T. Bryan~ of Boston Speaks Before Rotary Club B. T. Bryan of the Boston office of the Andrews, Swift and company delivered an interesting address be- fore the New Britain Rotary club this noon. In his tall, M.r Bryan dealt with a great deal on the mud slinging which has been going on relative to the packers' trust. He clalms that it is not ‘an act of jus- tice and feels that the people do not understand the situation. In speaking ef the personnel of the Swift company, Mr, Bryan said that the spirit shown by the employes seemed to him to be the finest thing ‘he knew of, and claimed it was next to patriotism. What makes it much greater, he added, is the fact that the company did nothing to encourage :t but the men work for the people by whom they are /employed. The firm, according to Mr. Bryan, takes great care of its employes, along the insurance and pension lines. The latter plan, it was stated, is the most liberal of any company in ex- istence. The company also encourages the purchasd of stock in the flrm. Mr. Bryan also stated that the men connected with the Swift firm resent the attacks which) have been made on the .company inasmuch as they are thoroughly acquainted with work- ings of thé company and believe that such mud slinging is a menace to any| kind of a business. To Aid Children’s Home Previous to the address by Mr. Bryan a motion was made that the Rotary club get back of a movément to aid Rev. J. E. Klingberg raise $15,000 for the completion of the new Children’s Home. Th3 president wasg also authorized to appoint a com- mittee to consider ways and means for aiding the moyement. Leon A. Sprague, president of the club, an- nounced that the next meeting of the club would be held on Wednesday evening, October 26th at the Shuttle Meadow club and will be a Iladies’ night.
