Some claim the town should not aid any private or- gan: but this argument would lead to withdrawing aid from such a ization, worthy institution as St..Joseph’s hos- pital, logically, and it is safe to say that if the town receives a benefit from the appropriation it can pay out the amount. WOULD ORGANIZE LABOR Speakers at Sunday Afternoon’s Meet- ing Urge Local Workers to Union- ize. The second in a series of meetings to be held during the winter in the interests of organized labor took place at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon in Cen- tral Labor Union hall and was pre- sided over by A. A. Burton of the A. F. of L. of Willimantic. Sol Solthei- mer of Hartferd and Miss Mary Scully of New York were the main speakers. The purpose of the meetings as ex- plained by those in charge, was to or- ganize labor throughout Willimantic, wherever there is now no organization, with especial reference to the Ameri- can Thread company, not, however, for the purpose of striking or trouble of that nature, but for the inuterests of all concerned. In fact, it was in- timated at the meeting that the use of thie union label by the company would be a financial benefit to them in their business, and that this was re- alized by those in charge of the plant. Mr. Soltheimer dwelt, &s did Miss Scully in her talk, on the advantages to be gained by organization of labor- ers in all fields. In a later talk, in response to a question, the former told of the work to secure workmen's compensation done by the A. F. of L., and the labor organizations in the state, and said the cigarmakers were already talking of a five-hour day, five days the week and five dollars a | day. Miss Scully proved to be a forceful, nteresting talker, and told of the work of organization in ‘Bridgeport re- cently, when the corset workers or- ganized, with splendid results, pre- dicting the same success for organized labor in this city if the workers woulq only realize the power of united ef- fort. Other meetings will be held, it was said, and a determined effort made to enlist every worker in the city in the Phone 285-3 Main and Union Streets, WINDHAM GARAGE.

It is considered that residents of the ncrtherly section of Putnam will be the greatest beneficiaries from an association in Putnam and that that part of the city will grow most rap- idly from the use of the association's funds. The object of Sunday even- ing’s meeting was to make all of this clear and to interest the workers in that section in becoming either in- vestors in or borrowers of the organ- ization. There was evidence of great interest In a1l that was sald.
