To-day the working people of st. Paul
celebrate labor day for the first time in
the history of Minnesota. The street
parade will be a leading feature. All
unions are to be in line at the place as
signed at 1890. The three divisions
march at D. m. sharp. The order and
line of march has beer already pub
Iished. but in order that there may be
no confusion, the Trade and Labor as
sembly holds special meeting at Labor
headquarters this forenoon at IL o'clock.
The marshal of each union should also
be present.
Printed slips containing the order of
march will be furnished each marshal.
James Coughlin. Thomas Fitzgerald and
NJ. J. DAILY are the marShalS. All unOr-
ganiZed men who desire to join the
parade will be given suitable places by
reporting at headquarters. Any organ
Zation, not included in the printed list,
will be given place on application at
HEADQUARTERS. BanhOlZer'S park has
been put in good order for the days
amusement. The following is an official
list of sports:
Tug of war between members of the police
md fire departments; foot race, 100 yards,
Ill; egg race, potato race, pipe race, sack
Eheelbarrow race. foot race, 100 yards, for
boys; tug of war between employees OF the
Manitoba ard Omaha shops. Valuable prizes
have been donated for the winners III all
aces or contests.
The celebration will be closed at an
sarly hour III the evening, and the COM
mittee have made every arrangement to
secure good order and a pleasant time
for the members of organized labor and
their friends.
The Trade and Labor Assembly have
a neat badge, with gold embossed letters
and fringe, on purple satin back
ground. The inscription is so wOrded
that the badge can be kept for future
use, and will form pretty souvenir of
this occasion.
The silk banner which is to be award
ed to the organization making the best
and most attractive display is in the
hands of Gen. T. w. Seeley and Capt.
Ed S. Bean, who are outside of organi-
ZatiOn, and are sure to be impartial and
competent judges. Numbers, decOra-
ton, personal appearance and general
ettractiveneSs are points which will de-
termine which organization shall own
the banner.
The members of the typographical
union will present a unique appearance
with their linen busters, canes, new
badges and pearl cOlored hats. The
reason why the average typo didn't seta
clean proof during the last few dayS,,is
that his mind was more occupied with
visions of the parade and his union car
rying away that silk banner afterward.
The committee on parade have sew
eral large flags at headquarters, which
can be obtained by those organizations
not already provided with banner.
The railroad employees from the
Omaha and Manitoba shops promise 10
be Oh hand several hundred strong.
II the picnic to-day is a success, as
there is every reason to suppose that it
will be. st. Paul workingmen may hope
TO be sufficiently organized next year to
celebrate Labor day itself, that is Mon
day-inStead OF being obliged to devote
their one day of rest in the week to this
object. In Eastern cities Labor day has
Geen generally observed for several
years, and it is only a question of time
or rather organization, when Western
cities Will follow this example.
