Waterbury Democrat., 1902-08-30

bury has ever seen. The factories.
stores, banking houses, the - ~
L. offices in the City hall build
ing and the several law firms will sus-
pend business, outside operations will
be abandoned for the time being, no
local paper will be published, so that
for the first time the people of this
town will enjoy what might rightfully
be termed a real holiday, with a good
deal of pomp thrown in in the matter
of very extensive and artistic decora-
tons. This general suspension Of BUSH
ness and the vast amount of money
expended in costuming the city, con-
veys some idea of the influence labor
Yields in public affairs and cannot help
set many thinking of the marked
change of the position of the labOrer
of to-day in relation to his employer
compared with what it was within a
comparatively recent period. The I'M
Outstanding between capital and labor
has been broadened and strengthened,
so that at the present time the same
doubt does not exist in the minds Of
! employers regarding the end in view
of those who 1abor8as there did when
unions made their initial bow in the
factories and stores. and bosses shook
their heads and wondered what was
going to happen next. Now all this is
changed and bodies of men not affili-
ated for mutual benefit are regarded as
standing in their own light; and no
wonder, for judging by the highland
ed way capital runs things where it is
monarch of all it surveys one need not
be sage to see that were it not for
united labor the man who tolls would
not cut much of swath in Waterbury
or elsewhere to-day. Let us all be
thankful for the conditions that rem
der such pageantry, jubilation and gen
era1 good feeling possible among all
elements, the rich as well as the poor,
which we look forward to on Labor
day.
The Driving park will be the Mecca
for young and old Monday afternoon
and evening. Here the big picnic and
entertainment of the Central Labor
union will be held. The program will
include various kinds of field sports,
with dancing to excellent music. 1t is
expected that nearly everybody will
make a call on the organization on the
grounds some time during the day.
The admission will be % cents each
person.
The parade, which will take place
through the principal streets during
the forenoon, will eclipse anything of
the kind ever attempted in this state
and should be seen by everybody. even
those who feel that they cannot spare
the time to join in the frivolities of the
hour at the Driving park should put
themselves within range of the mon
ster parade.
