Bridgeport Stepping Into Line—Competition Must Go.
The opening of our Labor Lyceum was a glorious affair. No standing room, and as intelligent and good-natured a crowd as ever filled a public hall. Robert Pyne delivered the inaugural address and did honor to himself and the occasion. The gist of all the speeches was: "The workers must emancipate themselves, and not look to those who are interested in the existing anarchy for assistance. Organize for universal co-operation. Competition must go."
May our temple of labor soon be followed by others all over the land. The workers have their destiny in their own hands if they but act with intelligent unity.
Bridgeport does not propose to be any longer behind in the labor movement.
Our motto is, "Love, Light and Liberty."
