After routine business was transact ed President Johnson introduced Stewart Reed. organizer for the Inter- natlonal Machinists union. Mr. Reed took for his subject, Organization. During his address, which lasted an hour, he held the attention of his au- dlence by his forceful oratory. His pathos and pleadings, and incidents cited as things really exist in this country today, as well as humorous sayings, won much applause. He showed the difference between _thq union man and the member he char- acterized, the former as having red blood in’ his veins, while the latter was_sluggish. Mr. Reed believes he has accom- plished more good in the feld of unionism than he ever could have done in the pulpit where oftimes the idle rich who drink the life’s blood of innocent children in the shape of pro- fits have said, “We pay you to preach for us and not for conditions you see around you.” It was the most elo- quent lecture the members had ever heard since the formation of the un- ion.
