transportation, was generally suspended,
but the streets were thronged early in the
day with people going their various ways.

dent of the building trades council. The

shaled by President Thomas Murphy, and

Hurley.

labor organizations and other societies
left the city for the various picnic
grounds, where athletic sports and other
tions continued the celebration Of labor
day with banquets, dances and other en-
tertainments.
The subway which opened the first of

to thousands, and all during the day the
management of the railroad had immense
crowds of passengers to handle.
A feature of today's events also was the
innovation introduced by several clergy
men in opening their churches and
preaching sermons appropriate to the day.
