LABOR DAY COMMITTEE
Held a Meeting and Outlined Plans for
the Big Celebration,
To Consist of a Parade and Picnic.
The Former Will be One Of the
Largest in the History Of the AS
sembly - An Attractive Pro-
gramme for the Picnic Various
Routine Matters.

From present indications the coming
Labor Day celebration under the aus
pieces Of the Ohio Valley Trades and La
Dor Assembly will be the most success
full in the history of that body. The
number of local unions affiliated with
the Assembly is large, and 1t is likely
that locals which are not affiliated will
turn out to swell the number Of men in
line. The parade will be a very impos-
ing show of the strength of organized
labor in this vicinity, and as the usual
attractive features have been provided
for the picnic, it will no doubt be a sue
cess with favorable weather.
The general committee in charge of
the arrangements for the celebration
held another meeting yesterday morn
ing, with good attendance, and trans
acted a large amount of business. The
committee will meet again next Sun
day. Yesterdays session lasted from
10 a. m. TO p. m.
The committee on privileges was au-
thorized to give the exclusive right TO
serve meals to the highest bidder.
The committee on music and dancing
VIII make several Improvements with
view 10 affording more light at the
platform. There will be a separate
platform for the colored people, as US
ual. The Regina brothers made a
proposition TO give an exhibition, but
it was not considered, as the amuse-
ment programme has already been out
lined. A communication from the hOd
carriers union was read, but a sub
committee was appointed to appear at
the meeting of that Union next Wednes-
day evening.
The committee decided to continue
the picnic until eleven o'clock. This
is an innovation, as heretofore the pic
mic closed soon after dark. There will
be dancing until that hour. The print
ing committee has posted advertising
matter in all the neghboring towns.
The transportation committee recon-
mended that the parade go over the new
steel bridge. Adopted. There were
several minor grievances, which will
be satisfactorily adjusted before the
next meeting of the committee.
President NJ. f. Tighe. who is Chief Mar
shall of the parade. announced the follow
ing appointments. which were confirmed:
Chief of staff. Richard Robertson; aides,
VIM. Winters. Jere Mead. W. !. Bodley,
Gabriel Jackson. VIM. Latousch and Fred
Williams The other appointments. d.
vision officers. will be announced at the
meeting next Sunday.
number of responses TO invitations 10
participate in the parade were read. all
giving favorable answers. It is likely
that the trades display will be larger than
usual. and one of the best features Of the
demonstration.

There is no use trying to disguise
the fact that Youngstown has q bang-up
ball team. They were too many for the
Toledos again yesterday. And it
wasn't the umpire's fault, either, as
many We're led to believe. Youngstown
played better ball than the home team.
That explains the story in a NUTSHELL

The East is making a strong BID for
the second season pennant, and will
PROBABLY win it. Toledo and Fort
wayne are the only dangerous antag-
onlstS IN The West, whi,e, while Youngs-
town, New Castle and Wheeling may be
fairly considered as in the race for the
Hag. The fight for first place promises
70 be very pretty within the next few
weeks, and the Interstate magnates
would do well to keep their eyes on
Wheeling.
