WILL BE GENERAL.
DAY OF SPORTS AT TYBEE.
SUSPENSION OF BUSINESS IN THE
CITY.


for the observance of the Day by
all Classes of Citizens in RecOg-
milton of the Dignity of Labor and
Urges n Suspension of Business So
Far as Practicable - The Pro-
gramme for the Day-Entries for
the Events at Tybee.
Labor Day will be celebrated to-
morrow with more eclat than usual
With elaborate programmes of amuse-
nent. and every prospect of good
weather. the forecast is for a gala day.
This is a most fitting time for the cele-
bration of Labor Day-the holiday
serving to mark the end of the summer
season and the opening of the work
of the fall. Ordinarily, the end of the
summer is locked forward to eagerly,
as building and the mechanical trades
are generally dull during the summer,
many workmen often being idle large
norton of the time. But such is far
from the case this year. Instead, the
demand for workmen has exceeded the
supply, and every mechanical trade has
enjoyed prosperous summer, and the
outlook promises a supply of fall work
that has seldom been equa1led.
Few strikes have occurred during the
wear and employer and employee are
on the best of terms. The business
men of the city have shown this by
the universal support they have given
the committees preparing for the La
Dor Day celebration. Nearly every
business house will close at least half
day, while many will give their en-
ployes the entire day.
The Mayors Proclamation.
In his proclamation Mayor Myers
urged a general observance of the mol
iday on the part of all business men,
and requested that they grant las COM
plete a cessation of business activities
as possible, to the end that their en-
ployes may be allowed to participate
in the observance of the day"
The subcommittee forming a part
of the general Labor DAY Committee
report success in their efforts on be-
half of the picnic at Tybee, and it IS
expected that the programme, which
is the best that has ever been prepared,
viii be witnessed. by a larger number of
people than any previous celebration.
