LABOR DAY CELEBRATION.
Arrangements for the Big Event Are
Now About Complete.

The coming event in the labor world is
Labor day, which occurs one week from to-
morrow. The day is celebrated through
out the country as labor's holiday by mil
lions of people. 1t is the one day in the
year when labor marshals it's forces. looks
back over the past takes account of itself
the world in gay array celebrates it's ad-
vances of the year. In the short history
of Labor day. each succeeding demonstra-
ton has outstripped all the others until it
has come to be almost a Fourth of July
to the working classes. Although not a
national holiday, it might fifty be, for on
that day all business is put aside.
In Indianapolis all things point to the
best Labor day celebration that has ever
been held in the city. In point of num-
bers that will participate, it is already as
sured that it will be the greatest gather
ing of workingmen that has ever marched
through the streets of Indianapolis. The
parade will be in eight divisions and about
10000 men will be in line. 1t will pass
through the principal downtown streets
and then the scene of festivities will shift
to the State fair grounds, where an in
teresting programme, including racing,
boxing, sparring, dancing, music and end
less other amusements, will be held. A
letter has been written to Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation of
Labor, inviting him to speak on the oc.
casion and it is probable that he will be
present. If so his address will be one of
the features of the day.
All the various local unions are making
elaborate preparations for their appear
ance that day, especially in the parade.
great many of them will be uniformed
and all will have their flags and banners.
There will be a plentiful supply of music
as the music committee has secured this
part of the State for union bands and there
will be at least fifteen in the parade. In
all the long column of sturdy workingmen
there will not be nonunion man if it is
known. The celebration is of organized
labor and of such will be its participants.
One event at the fair grounds that is
looked forward to with good deal of in
terest is the rafting of the house and lot
at Irvington by the labor temple committee.
large number of tickets have been sold
and as they cost only 10 cents apiece a
large sale is expected at the grounds. The
labor temple committee is making strenu-
Gus efforts to raise a building fund for
organized labor of this city. The present
committee has been the most successful of
any that have been in the field. About
$4,000 has been raised altogether and ii
is planned that when sufficient fund is
raised to secure the backing of capital a
large ten-story building is to be erected for
the entire use of organized labor in In
dianapolis. The committee expects to clear
several hundred dollars on the rattle.

Mr.. Duffy will probably be in Philadelphia

Edward Gould, editor of the Union, spoke
last night at a public mass meeting of
