~ Powderly, the wiscst leader
4 y organized labor has ever
had, the origin of Labor
Day dates back to 1852, ana had It's
beginning with the Central Labor
union Of New York L. j. Mcclure
then general secretary and treasurer
of the Carpenters union. and several
allies discussed the question of having
"A Labor Day parade on the first
Monday in September. At that time
al who belonged to the Central La
bor union were members of the
knights Of Labor. As the general as
sembly of the Knights of Labor met
in New York IN September, it was
determined to hold the labor parade
while it was i'm session. That process
sion one of the largest ever held in
New York. was reviewed by the dele
gates and officers of the general as
semhly of the Knights of Labor from
the reviewing stand at Union Square
Mr.. Powderly adds:
While the parade was passing
Md, say to the worthy general Fore
man of the Knights of Labor This Is
Labor Day in earnest. Uncle Dick
Some further complimentary remarks
We're made about the success of the
parade, Nand the general assembly was
instructed to thank the Central Labor
union for the courtesy of permitting
it's members to witness such a glorious
| demonstration. Various parties claim
credit for Labor Days origin, but
the honor should rest equally between
Il. J. Mcclure ana Robert Price. They
| were influential in securing the in
| PRODUCTION of IA hill in the New York
! legislature making Septombcrs first
| Monday a legal holiday. The bill was
introduced early in January. 1883, but
| was not passed for several months.
| In the meantime the state of Oregon
| passed bill which was similarly
| phrased. ON January Q, 1883, Labor
Day became a legal holiday in Oregon.
New York followed in the summer of
| 1883, From time To time other states
|
| all the states have so shaped their
laws that holiday on Labor Day is
uniform. II was the work of organ
lied labor, the trades unions and the
knights of Labor which secured the
passage of Labor Day law in the
various states"
The best results from Labor Day
are obtained where free discussion
mingles with diversion and entertain
mcnt; and especially where those who
are selected to address the gather
ings of working people recognize their
functions as educators and talk con,
servatively, intelligently and witt
practical common sense. Gradually
this kind of oratory is coming into the
place once held by the vaporngs OF
| demagogues.

NN about the technical points
in the controversy which
has embroiled Thomas
! w. Lawson. the owner of the yacht
| Independence, and the New York Yacht
club, II seems to us that on general
! principles Mr.. Lawson Is correct in as
scrting that the trial races to decide
! what American yacht should have the
! honor of defending the cup in the in
| ternatioual races ought to be open to
! all cumcrs. The New York Yacht club
! is only one among many associations in
| this country devoted to the encourage
ment of yachting. when England
| challenges, the United States should
| be represented by its best boat. That
may be the Columbia. the Constitution,
| the Independence or some other yacht
not yet known to fame No one can
| say positively in advance of trial
| which boat Is the best. But the New
| York Yacht club would not permit Mr..
| I.awsun's boat to enter the cumpeti-
! tion unless he should first give control
| of it to that club or a member thereof.
| In other words. the New York Yacht
| club was willing that Mr. Lawson
should spend his good money in con-
! struCting, equipping and manning
| yacht of the finest type, but was un-
| willing that he should have any say
regarding its management while II was
| COntCsting for the honor OF delendlhs
| the cup To use his words

Commenting on a recent editorial in
the San Francisco Chronicle dealing with
the mineral resources of Siberia and the
latest mining regulations issued by the
Russian government, Chester w. Pur-
ington, an American mining engineer
who has located and patented more than
1000 acres of collaborating placer land in
Siberia, says the difficulties which con-
front mining lOcators there are more
apparent than real. The Russian gov
eminent is, in fact. putting no Ubstaclest
in the way of foreigners locating min
ing land anywhere within IT'S domains.
1t is true that the time consumed ne
tween the driving Of location stakes in
the ground desired and the completion
of the government patent is rarely less
than two years and that the formallties
to be complied with are numerous. But
all the delays and formalities are de-
signed for the perfect protection OF tine
pre- emptor. When the government sur
veys and stamped plans of the conces-
sion are finally ISSUED all danger of liti-
cation to the cOncessionaire is absolute
ly precluded. He has perfect title TO
the groung, which cannot he disturbed.
and all his rights therein are secure.
Over 1900 placer locations were made
in the Ural districts during 1898 under
these regulations. Each claim comprises
200 acres or more. During the past two
seasons a much greater number of quartz
and placer locations have also been made
in Central and Eastern Siberia by for
eioners.
The Russian mining law was originally
formulated in accordance with the slow
methods of Siberian operators. but when
ever a regulation proves irksome the
government removes 1T as soon as posi-
bile. It's policy is really to facilitate and
not delay occupation Of the goldbe airing
territory.
In the light Of the big crop of litiga-
ton which has grown out Of our own
mineral hand laws in the location of
mining claims in the Cape Nome district.
it would undoubtedly have been more
profitable to all concerned if some of the
foanalities required by the Russian min
ing regulations had been engrafted on
our own system of pre-empting. Titles
there would have been at least more Sc
| cure than they seem to Zoe now.
