Parade.

The meeting OF the Labor dav com.
mittees last night at Killers hall was
more largely attended than any of the
| previous ones. and the reports that were
brought in from The different committees
having the celebration in charge we're
gratifying in the extreme. The ground

thing conducted so that all cab enjoy a
pleasant day. The grounds are roomy.
and include base ball diamond where g
good game will take place. They can
be reached either from Fifth or Seventh
| avenues. and are of easy access.
The parade will undoubtedly be the
largest and most elaborate ever given
| in Rock Island. Business houses
and factories all over the three cities have
gotten up floats and some have two or
three which will swell the parade. At
least 5000 union men from the three
cities will be in line, and as invitations

cites Of the different towns to take part
it is hoped that many of these will re-
| spond. A request has also been made
| to the owoers of factories, etc, to suspend
| work for the day in accordance with the
| mayors proclamation, and it is believed
that it will generally be done. The com>
mittee is desirCus CT having everything
| in the parade move as smoothly as posi-
BILE, and for this reason it is desira BILE that
| those having floats, and also all organic
atoms will be on hand as promptly as
psssible. as the parade will be of such
proportions that it will not be easily
handled.
Lsbor's holiday has had several aus
picious celebrations in this vicinity, but
it is purposed To make this the grandess
| of them all, and in order to do this it will
be necessary for every one TO cooperate,
to the end that everything will run
smoothly. The more that turn out the
greater the day. and men of every calling
should turn out and SHOW their apprecia-
| ton of the day that has been set aside
for labor's enjoyment.
