Although the flames We're confined

LABOR DAY IS CELEBRATED
BY A PARADE AND P|CN|CS

The parade Of the Labor Council
today was witnessed by the usual
Labor Day throng aligned on both
sides of Riverside avenue from the
commencement of the line of march
at First and Lincoln to Division, and
the countermarch to the place Of
starting.
The onlookers were in general dis
appointed at the showing made. 1t Is
true that not so large a number of
men were in line as have been usual
in former occasions of the kind in
this city This is doubtless the re-
suit Of the differences existing be-
tween the Trades and Labor assem-
bly, and the Trades Council, the for
mer not participating in the demon
stration.
The parade was headed by the usual
platoon of police. to clear the crowd
from the street, and the speakers Of
the day. The men made an excellent
appearance. Much interest was at
tracted by the floats, representing diff
ferent lines of labor, which have been

OF exceptional interest were the ap-

sprinkling carts. All kinds of jibes
and jokes were hurled at them, among
them being that only one man or so
appeared on each of the water
wagons. Another little bit of choice

the workingmen an opportunity to en-
joy the day.
In Boston a bagi parade was held

antine conditions the programs for
the Labor Day celebrations in many

the Union Iron works. The papers
stated he left a wife and five babies.
That was all the world learned of
the misery and suffering caused by
the snufiing out of one life.
Investigation reveals the fact that
Mrs. Peterson Is almost destitute. She
is worn with worry and work. Five
little ones are crying for food and
scarcely a penny remains to supply
their humble needs.
