LINE ON LABOR DAY
MarshaIs Of the Trades Unions
Meet and Perfect Arrange
ments for the Biggest Parade
Ever Witnessed in St. Paul
IA Bands Will Participate. =

The marShalS of the trades unions
which will be represented in the Labor
day parade met at Federation nall iast
night and assigned the unions to their
respective places in the parade, which,
it is said, will be the largest of its kind
ever witnessed in st. Paul.
According to the estimates made by
the marshals at their meeting last
night, after reports had been received
and the strength of the various unions
figured up, there will be more than w.
600 people in line.
Not only will the parade be the
largest in the history of the city, but
it will be one of the best. Almost
every union in the city will be out in
full strength, and all of the members
will appear in uniforms of some kind.
There will be many carriages in line,
and a number of floats are being pre-
pared.
So far as music is concerned. the
parade this year will break the record.
There will be at least fourteen bands
in line, and several more probably, II
the unions that are trying to secure
them are able to find the bands. Every
band in the city has been engaged, and
one or two from out of town.
At the meeting of the marshals last
night there was considerable discus
sion as to whether each union should
draw for it's position in the parade
separately, or whether the different
crafts should be placed together.
The ironworkers wanted the differ
ent crafts placed together in the same
divisions.
After some argument it was decided
to let each union draw for it's own po-
sition, and while this plan Gid not
suit the leatherworkers and the IRON
workers, each of which embrace a
number of separate unions, a resolu-
ton providing for this method of max
ing up the parade was adopted by a
vote of IA to 10.
The drawing took place Immediately
and the order of the parade was made
up in accordance with the result.
The parade will form on Cedar
street, and the line of march will be
on Cedar to Seventh. on Seventh to
Broadway, on BroaWay to Fourth. on
Fourth to Wabasha. and on Wabasha
across the bridge to the West side,
where the parade will disband and the
members proceed to Harriet island,
where the days exercises will be held.
A long programme of sports and ath-
letic events has been arranged, and
there will be something going on dur
ing the entire day. The speeches will
be in the afternoon.
