LABOR'S OWN DAY.
How II Was Observed This Year in Many
os the Large Cities.

In the summer OF 1882, Matthew
Mcguire, Secretary Of the Central L a.
Dor Union, Of Paterson, n. j.. intro
duced motion at one of the meetings
of the union that the various bodies
represented there should hold a Joint
demonstration and picnic instead OF
the separate assembly picnics that had
heretofore been tn vogue. and sug-
gested that this combined labor outing
occur on the first Monday in Septem-
Der. The resolution met with favor,
and the first Monday in September OF
each year was set aside as labor hoi-
day" The second demonst ation-1SS3
was a grand success. Thirty thou
sand people were in line but the cele-
bration up to this time was confined to
New York City. IN the following year
the mo ement had extended to twenty
prominent cities of the United States,
and 1885 saw the observance of Labor
Day advance with still more rapid
strides until now it reaches all the
new centers of industrial development
in the South as well as the North and
every prominent city in the United
States has its Labor az.
This gear the day was generally OBJ
served. In Chicago labor marched
through the streets with its trousers
turned up, and with little rill5 of water
running down the back Of its neck.
Over 1.100 union workmen splashed
through the m ld to celebrate abor
Day, undeterred by the heaviest down.
pour in over two months In New York
labor made an imposing demonstra-
tion Not ia from 20,00 men, repre-
senting all the tr des unions, were in
line.
The holiday was celebrated through
out all New England. Business was
generally suspended. In all the cities
a wealth of entertainment was offered,
and all day the streets were alive with
bands of music and professions. In
Boston over 10000 wee in line. A
Toronto dispatch says that for the first
tine in the history Of the Dominion
Labor Day was celebrated by general
suspension of business in different
cities and town throughout Canada.
At Omaha $1,000 people participated
in the celebration. Tnirty thousand
representative of Nebraska labor
unions were in the procession.
There were >, 90 m in line in the
Labor Day para1e at Milwaukee. and
they marched through a drenching
rain torn. The celebration of the day
by the organized workingmen of In
dianapolis did not attract s. much at
tention as it had for aeveral years
past.
