Mr.. NJ. +. Grogan read the following
paper. suggested by the coming cele-

The great effort made by leading la
Dor organizations throughout the Uni
ted States in the last decade OF years
was an influential and potent factor in
inducing Congress to enact law max
ing the first Monday of September of
each wear a national labor holiday. The
toiling millions of the country no doubt
appreciate the action of our national
legislators i'm giving them this day for
rest and recreation. and if true to the
Improvement of their condition Will
make it one of the most important and
imposing i'm the history of the country.

plished by labor during the year, in
having maintained living rates OF wa
yes. steady employment peace and

lions on the New Fair Grounds. II was
not considered prudent for the Assem-

patronage of the day. Monday, Sep

monopoly of the Fair Grounds. and no
labor union need apply Hence this
apoeal is intended TO induce all labor
