THE FAVOR OF THE ELE-
MENTS.
UNION PICNIC AT WHITE BEAR,
Following the Parade, Gives Pleas
ure to the Recreating Masses
Of Organized Labor.

May day, with all it's treats of pleas
ant weather. could never have given
labor fairer holiday than did yester-
day, the first Monday in September
The air was clear and bracing, cool,
and yet warmer than for two or three
days previous, making 1t almost an
ideal day for picnic at rural retreat
amid the changing leaves of autumn.
1t was also pleasant for that other
prominent feature of the Labor day
| celebration, the parade. Organized
labor turned out In good force, and
the crowds that lined the course of the
procession witnessed a quiet and digni-
fed gathering of organized laboring
men. No emblems of anarchy were
Haunted; no political capital permitted
iE the banners that waved above the
heads of the marchers
The parade was headed by platoon
OF police, followed by Chief Marshal r.
F. Thomas and his aids, C. H. Bonn
and Ed. Conner; fifty members of the
fire department in uniform followed.
The second division was marshaled
by Louis Nash, of the retail clerks
union, and the members of the Trades
and Labor assembly headed it, wear
ing badges, and marshaled by F. e.
Hoffman The West Side Turnverein
| was followed by speakers and visitors
in carriages. The hack and cab driv-
ers, with their horses appropriately
decorated and their carriages contain
ing the members of the bindery girls
union, made good showing. One man
had the startling banner, "Patronize
the Curbstone Merchants" on his
horses. The boilermakers, with c. J.
Allen as marshall the carpenters, with
j. L. Hughes as marshal; the horse
shoers with O. Oleson as marshall the
theatrical stage employees, the painters
and the walters concluded this division.
The third division was headed by
Frank Pampusch, of the pressfeeders,
| as marshal, and a band and the press
feeders, with E. Furnee as marshal,
came first. The Webb presshe1peFs,
marshaled by George You'd, made a
good showing, as did the stereotypers,
with e. A. Oakley as marshal, and the
pressmen. The German printers were
marshaled by John Klaus; the book
binders large turnout by T. F. Kee-
gan; the typographical union by F. T.
Keegan, with two hundred men in line
The fourth division, with F. j. Boyle
as marshal, included the bakers, who
made perhaps the best showing of any
organization each man having a white
shirt and cap and dark trousers.
The bricklayers, marshaled by Oscar
Berger, made a good showing, as did
the cigarmakers, headed by J. Scharf-
billig. The iron moulders, with G. W.
Pippy as marshal; the plumbers, with
{. f. Doyle as marshal, and the tin
sheet iron and cornice workers con-
cluded the division
A band led the brewery workers at
the head Of the fifth and last division,
marshaled by Charles Krucky. The
coopers were marshaled by C. Fisher,
the shoemakers by E. Seymour, the
BARRIERS by Charles Plonske, while the
retail clerks made a good showing
without having marshal. Prof.
Smith, in his Highland costume, and
with a bagpipe, attracted a great deal
of attention, he leading the harness
makers, this union being marsha1ed by
G. N. Giles.

bration last night requested the
G i o b to make public their express
sion of thanks to Chief Goss for his
