Whereas, By legislative enactment the
first Monday of September of each year
has been set aside as Labor day.
Now, therefore, I, John w. Leedy, gov
ernor of the state of Kansas do hereby
recommend- that Monday. September 9Th,
1898, be made a public holiday. and to this
end that all business, both public and pri-
vate, be suspended as far as practicable,
that the day be devoted to the considera-
ton Of the many pressing and perple1ing
problems connected with the forwarding
of the interests of toilers. Let the en-
ployer and the employed meet on the COM
mon plane of humanity and mutual inter-
est and discuss the means of advancing
the welfare of all, free and untrammeled
discussion being the greatest safeguard
which can be thrown about our liberties.
We can then return to our homes and Gus
tomary avocatiOns and mediate on the
many new ideas that will necessarily be
suggested to US and determine what shall
be done to advance labor to the position of
dignity it is destined to occupy in this
great republic.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set
my. hand and caused to be affixed the
seal of the state of Kansas.
