LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
State of Minnesota, Executive Department
whereas, by a legislative enactment Of this
| state, the first Monday Of September in each
year mas been set apart as Labor day, to be
observed as a general holiday;
OF the state Of Minnesota, do hereby recon-
mend and request that on Monday, Sept. 6,

IN manner BETTING the purpose to which
II is dedicated. In the past four years of
push business stagnation, the people of this land
nave realized by bitter experience how the
interests Of all inseparably connected
with the interests of labor. Labor has griev-
ously suffered from lack of employment and
|
the absence of prosperity. We are now SEEM
lngly entering upon an era of more suspicious
times. But at the threshold of prosperity we
can well affords to pause and by our Labor
day celebrations call, attention to the fact
that no prosperity can be lasting which is
not shared by the millions Of wage-earners
as well as by the small number Of million
aires. 1t is especially fitting and proper then
that all men-employers and employees
should lay aside their usual avocations for
the day and gather together in public
sembl1es and in all practical and fitting ways
seek to make the era upon which we are
entering one that shall record marked ele-
walton and improvement in the condition of
the Wage-earners in our midst.
