I think it's to decrease the suction of the vacuum.  If you were trying to clean something delicate that full suction would pull, you can open that tube for less pull.  I've maybe used it once, but I don't remember why--lampshades?  delicate fabric?

Can someone tell me why the metal 'suction tube' on a canister vacuum 
has that little thing that slides to open a hole in the tube?
