THE WEATHER PLEASANT

NEW YORK, September 2-The weather
Is perfect today and there is hardly any
labor organization in the city but what
had mapped out for Itself parade or an
oUtirg. This year the latter manner of
spending the holiday predominated. The
list of excursions to points outside the city
was long and well arranged.
For the first time in many years the Cen
trail labor Union did not parade through
the streets. Coney Island was deemed the
bel er place to spend the day. and as re-
suit the Sea Beach Palace there was
crowded with the men whose delegates
practically regulate the labor element Of
the city from Clarendon Hall on Sundays.
Offset this, however, there were
ranged the parade of the striking garment
workers and the demonstration at Union
Squs re of the Knights of Labor with which
organization the garment workers are af-
filiateG. In the garment workers New York
saw today practically the only body of men
on strike al the present time in the city,
and 1t was perhaps on account of the ap-
parent content among the other trades that
the Central Labor Union did not demon
strate its strength by parading in the
streets.
The New York letter carriers, headed by
Postmaster Dayton and his staff, marched
to the post office on their way to the Let
ter Carriers National Association conven-
tior in Philadelphia.
TGs anarchists went out to MantZeTs
Park, Staten Island, to see John Most and
Claus Zimmerman wave the red shirt and
talk of general destruction.
Big Parade mt Boston.
BOSTON, September 2.-Organized labor

day in the city of Boston with its usual pa

cool. and at an early hour marching bands.
escorting labor unions from various parts
Of the city, and crowds hurrying to the de-
Eets and wharves bound for the various
amusement resorts, filled the streets.
The spectacle of the day was the parade
of the labor organizations of the city and
vicinity, in which over 1900 men partici-
pated, Notwithstanding the fact that,
owing to the late severe business depres-
sion, number of the larger organiza tions,
which have been under considerable ex-
pense in providing for their idle members,
did not appear in the lines because of the
extra expense involved.
Tried to Drive Through the Parade.
PHILADELPHIA, September 2.-While
the Csat Pressers' Union was marching to
the Labor Lyceum Hall at 9Th and Brown
streets today to prepare for the labor
parade 1t came in contact with an express
man, who attempted to drive through the
ranks, and small riot ensued. The line
was passing up 9Th street by Commerce
at the time, and John Preole, aged twenty
two years, who drives a wagon for Scott's
express, tried to go through the line.
The coat pressers who are nearly all
Russian Jews, resented the attempt, and
one of them seized Preole's horse by the
head. Preole told him to let CO. and upon
his REFUSAL jumped down from his seat and
attacked the man.
This was the signal for a general fight,
and not only the coat pressers. but out
siders took hand. During the progress
of the fight Max Fox was struck on the
head with an iron bar, receiving frac-
tured skull. He was taken to hospital,
where his condition Is pronounced serious.
Two Celebrations at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-TWO separate and
distinct celebrations marked Labor day In
Chicago. The labor congress, socialistic
in it's tendencies, held mass meeting and
picnic, preceded by a parade, the principal
speakers being keir Hardie Frank Smith
and John Swinton.
The building trades council gave a coun-
ter attraction in the way of a parade, pic
ric and mass meeting of its own. No
attempt was made to carry the red flag in
the congress parade, Mayor Smith having
issued strict orders against such action.
Two Pnrades at Columbus.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 2.-There were
.wo Labor day parades here, the trades
assembly and anti-trades' assembly. The
split was due to the charge that some
of the uniforms worn were not sold by
union clerks,
the union clerks in the trades assembly
carried their objection to these uniforms,
and the persons wearing them formed an
other parade The respective bodies passed
and repassed on the streets, but all went
