row, and every true union man and
woman should observe it as q holiday,

they, above FALL others, have earned
the right tolccelebrate it. Christmas
and the Fourth of July have always
been observed throughout the entire
country by az general closing down OF
all industries-commerc and manu-
featuring. The Christian people were
responsible for the observane Ut
Christmas, and the patriotic, liberty
loving citizens for the celebration OF
the Fourth. Congress made Labor
day a legal holiday at the request OF
the laboring classes and, in justice to
those for whom such a law was Ell
acted. there should be no hesitation
on the part of the business men about
closing when asked to do so. In Kan
sas City business houses to the num-
Der of seventy five have given their
pledge that they will close their stores
for the entire day, and in nearly every
CITY where there are labor organlza-
tions a general suspension of business
will take place.
