MANY HANDSOME FLOATS.
Labor's Struggles and Triumphs Illus

LabOr's Struggles and Triumphs Illus
trated in an Unique Manner.
feature Of the parade this year, which
excellcd all other parades on Labor Day,
were the floats and emblematic pieces
Great ingenuity was displayed in their de-
sign, and many OF them were most original
and unique, aptly illustrating the calling
OF the organization to which they belongd
The most effective of the floats attracted
general attention and eliNted frequent
applause along the line.
The float provided by Typographical
Union No. 101 was a reproduction of the
form of construction and order OF archi-
lecture OF the home for disabled printers,
founded by the late George w. Childs and
located at Colorado Springs, Colo. The
idea Of building such a home for aged and
decrepit members of the craft was con-
ceived at the Buffalo, n. Y, convention
of the International Typographical Union,
held in 1887.
The painters had a handsome float
showing scaffolding, ladders, hooks and
ropes of their outfit, with a man aboard
ready to begin his days work. The
wagon, which was gaily bedeCked with
flowers and flags, was drawn by fine
team of grays owned by James G. Bowl
ing.
Another fine display was made by the
Progressive Street Railway Union. Their
float consisted of street car mounted on
a wagon. 1t bore an inscription reading
''In Use 80 Years Ago" and another terse
and sugg es tive: Ninth Street Up to
Date"
John C. Skillman served as driver for the
outfit, and Conductors A T Stewart and
Richard Rose were in charge of the car
On top of the car was an electric street
railway in active operation, the design
of A. T. Stewart. The mascot, yclept
Snowfall" was on the dimnutive pat
tern, dressed in the regulation uniform
of a street car man
The street car decorations were fur
nished by Needfeldt & Johns.
The Stonecutters had two floats, each
bearing unfinished work The banners
had these words in view: "Scabs Can
not Be Depended Upon Either in Peace
or War" and I'VE Are the Pioneers of the
Eight-hour Movement in America" One
or the wagons was drawn by eight horses,
the other by two
The Book binders repeated their display
OF last year. 1t was huge book, hand
somely bound, and drawn by Eddie Schnet-
der's ponies. Eddie also occupied the
drivers seat, and had with him Willie
Rockwell.
A feature in the Third Division Chapel
ranks was genuine printers devil. He
was attired in red, had the orthodox
hoofs and tail. and measured probably
three feet in height. The name of this
limp" was given as John McElroy This
division was led by st. Johns Drum Corps
The public schools were appropriately
represented by handsome model of a
school room got up by District Assembly,

with huge national banners inside and out,

of others. Their banner read: 1--WE are
your friends" Good bread: good wages"
The wagon carried at the rear three flour
barrels, and on top was a loaf of bread
extending across the whole width OF the
vehicle On the side was shea of wheat.
The Steamfitters had a float showing
various devices for steam-heating and en-
gines, together with steam whistle, which.
at intervals mingled it's clear note with
the general hubbub.
The electrical workers had a dynamo
on wheels, and number of them carried
small batteries operating electric bells,
which they kept ringing merrily.
The paperhangers were represented by a
big wagon with an outfit for work Uponit
were B. C. Hutcheson, AL. Hamilton and
Jerry DOGGY, with rolls of paper in their
hands and pairs of shears stuck in the
scabbards of their white overalls
Also, there was huge silvered horseshoe
in the horseshoers' line. 1t was not sill
vered as a challenge to believers in gold but
as variety.
At the head OF the bricklayers was the
wreath of palm leaves and roses which
James Grace, who carried it yesterday ",
placed on the brow Of the Statue of Liberty

that was q national holiday by act of
