repaired to the Krisch residence, in

PATRIOTIC LABORERS
UNITE AND CELEBRATE AT
SAN PEDRO SPRINGS.
Mayor Paschai Delivers the Ad-
dress of Welcome-The Parade
The Park Filled With Representa-
tives of all Trades.

AS early as Z o'clock this morn
ing the streets Of San Antonio were
filled with spectators to witness
the parade, this being Labor day,
legal holiday. Several business
houses were closed and laborers
granted a vacation, in order that
they may pertake in the festivi-
ties of one of the greatest days of
the year. They are thoroughly en-
jOying themselves, and the day
will long be remembered by MEM
bers of the labor organizations of
the Alamo City.
At 8 o'clock the parade formed
on Milan square. Fifteen minutes
later it was seen going east on Com
merce to Military plaza, around it
to Main plaza, east again on
Commerce to Alamo, over Alamo
plaza to Houston street, down
Houston to Soledad, where those
on foot boarded street cars and
were conveyed to the grounds.
The parade was headed by the
mounted police officers, and was as
follows:
Twenty-third Infantry band.
United States Cavalry, ninety
two men.
Two hacks, occupied by Hon.
George Paschal, Aldermen Elmen-
dorf, Joe Beckmann, Menger,
Hoefling, Mackey and Limburger,
the rest of the city council being
absent.
Following the aldermen came
Fire Chief Duerler and Assistant
Fire Chief Collins, followed by the
entire city fire department. This
was an attractive portion Of the
parade as the boys were wearing
their new costumes.
Ten little boys with baseball bats,
beautiful costumed in red and
white suits, headed with a banner
"Hard to Beat" was the next in
line, and the "kids" received many
compliments from spectators all
along the line.
The eX-Fireman's band, or" HOef-
lings' band" as some of the city Of
ficials term it, followed next.
The San Antonio branch of the
National Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers was well represented.
Carpenters Union No. 3I6, head
ed by a large wagon hauled by
four mules, and occupied by as
many saw and Ratchet men, made
neat appearance.
The San Antonio Painters and
Decorators Union was out in full
blast, costumed in pure white.
The Gem theatre band played
"The last rose of summer" and
was the mast" in line.
At San Pedro Springs, the crowd
was large, though not as many
were in attendance as at last
years celebration. The trees and
stands were nicely decorated and
numerous lunch and game stands
were on the grounds for the amuse-
ment and comfort of those spend
ing the day there.
1t was announced that Hon.
George Paschal would deliver the
address of welcome at 10 o'clock,
but the arrangement committees re-
considered the matter and invited
his honor to return at 2:30 o'clock,
which he did, and delivered his
speech, which lasted about 10
minutes, and caused many compli-
mentary utterances, and loud
applause.
This afternoon will be spent by
the loyal labor admirers in feast
ing ETC., and at night grand ball
will be given concluding the cele-
orator of Labor day in San AntO-
Mo for the year 1898.
