THERE IS no NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
Net Even the Labor Day Act Creates One,
Say the Lawyers.
There would seem 10 be 10 such thing
i'll this country as q national holiday.
Lawyers assert that even Labor day,
which was set apal-: by act of congress
in 1894 in such manner as to lead the
confiding layman to suppose it at least
to be national holiday, is not such
outside Of the District Of Columbia un-
less by state enactment The creation
and regulation of holidays have been
left entirely to the legislatures of the
individual states
The act of congress concerning Labor
day was approved June 20, 1894. 1t pro-
vides "that the first Monday of Septem-
Der in each year, being the day cele-
brated and known as Labor day, is
hereby made legal holiday, to all in
tents and purposes, in the same manner
as Christmas, Jan. l, Feb. %, May 80
aud July 4 are now made by law public
holidays.
Clearly the proper construction Of
this statute can be arrived at only by
reference to the provisions bearing upon
the other holidays named The act max
ing holidays of Jan. l., July 4, Christ
mas and "any day appointed or recon-
mended by the president of the United
States as day of public fast or thanks.
giving" was passed in June, 1870, and
was restricted in its effect to the Dis
trict OF Columbia These days are holi-
days III the various states only as they
are made so by the various state legis-
latures.
The act of Jan. 81, 1879, makes Feb.
22 legal holiday, and the act of Aug.
81, 1888, does the same for May 80,
and both are restricted in their applioa-
ton to the District of Columbia. The
act referring to Labor day says nothing
about the District of Columbia, but il
does say that the first Monday Of Sep.
TENDER shall be legal holiday. ito all
intents and purposes, in the same man.
ner as Christmas, Jan. 1, Feb. %, May
30 and July are now made by Law
public holidays"
The intents and purposes for which
and the manner in which those days are
made holidays are expressly limited t.
the District of Columbia, and so, b,
necessary inference, is the act referring
to Labor day. h til
The misleading language of the Labo
day act has led TO "a prevalent statemen
