been caressing his jugular. A copper
is very quick reptile. but in this in

Just what happened Mr.. Allen can't

so suddenly that Aliens recoilections

at New York. city in 1884, in effect
that all labor parades should there
after occur on the first Monday in
September. This was before labor was
accorded the honor of holiday in any
part of the country. After the pass
age of the resolution workingmen's
organizations throughout the land BE-
gan agitation to induce state legisla-
lures to make the day legal holiday.
The Colorado legislature was the
first to take action and the first Mon
day in September, 1887, became, in Col
orado, the first legal Labor day ever
celebrated. Three or four of the east
ern states soon followed and now near
ly all of the states and territories have
committed themselves.
The present labor. movement in the
United States and Canada received its
first real impetus with the organiza-
ton of the Knights of Labor in 1869,
although the first trades union in the
United States was established as early
as 1903 by the tailors. Politics at that
time appeared to offer the most GER
tain field for labor reforms and politi-
cal organizations of laboring men we're
not uncommon at the end of the first
quarter of the century. In 1929 dele
gate was elected to the New York
state assembly on a workingmen' S
ticket and few years later the general
trades unien of New York city was
successful in electing its representative
to congress. Various minor political
movements were coincident, about this
time, with the formation of a more
concrete labor sentiment, and out of
political activity, at. different points
grew various municipal declarations or
trades unions. In 1881 local union
of printers was organized and this was
followed by the launching of other
unions.

Labor day has come generally to be
regarded as a national holiday, al
though, as matter of fact it is legal
holiday by virtue of the various state
and territorial legislatures. In effect,
it is national concession of one day
of ''pomp and circumstance" in labor's
long year of dusty toll. The day has
been not only almost universally rec
ognized by the various states and ter
ritories, but in the majority of cases,
the labor celebrations occur at the
same time, on the first Monday in Sep

of purpose of labor organizations. This
concord, which has doubtless done the
most to give the day its national as

BLACK SNAKE CAUGHT
IN MOVING MACHINE
the Terror Of Sugar Valley,
Pennsylvania.

Williamsport, PA ten-foot black
snake, the largest ever known in this
section, and which for years terror
lied residents in Sugar valley, has at
last met its fate. The reptile got in
the way of moving machine on the
farm of G.. M. Shroyer and was cut to
pieces.
Shroyer was running the moving
machine in a field IN which the tim
othy was half as high as a mans head.
Suddenly his team SHE'D and ran. He
caught f1eeting glimpses of large rep
tile as the animals dashed away. When
he finally halted the team he found the
knives of the mower stained with
blood
Going back over the path of the
mower Shroyer found the body of the
snake, cut in three sections, tail sec
ton of two feet, middle section of
four feet, and a head section four feet.
The mouth of the dying serpent was
wide open, and it's fangs were still
feebly moving when Shroyer found it.
For years there have been stories of a
large serpent in Sugar valley. and the
belief prevailed that it was a boa con-
strictor which had escaped from some
passing circus hroyer's mower, how
ever. seems to have settled the snake
ships identity. Tie reptile was of
the coal black variety, and. judging
from it's immense size and thickness,
was many years old. The body of "a
full grown rabbit was found within the
serpent.

age the establishment of the nuHer-
Gus narrower and specific trades
unions which subsequently sprung up
in all parts of the country. Those in
terested in the labor movement of the
time as thinkers and leaders began to
perceive in this inclination to narrow
ness the menace of final dissolution,
and the necessity of a national body
began again to be discussed. AS a re-
suit, the National Labor union was
organized, but it's efforts were largely
suit that the hopes of it's founders
were never realized.
But the seed of organized unionism
was sown and was likely to sprout in
almost any corner. The organization
of the Knights of Labor was perfected
in secret in 1869 by the leaders of a
dissolved local union of garment work
ers in Philadelphia. This secrecy,
which it was thought best to maintain
because labor organizations in the past
had failed by reason of the disapproval
of employers, was SO effectually con-
tinued for IL years that few outsiders
fully understood it's purpose Member
ship in the society grew phenomenally
until 10000 members were claimed
and branches existed in all parts OF
the country. Admittance to the order
was granted, however, quite promiscu-
ously, and all persons over Is years OF
age, except liquor dealers, gamblers
bankers and lawyers were eligible The
government of the organization was
vested in local, district, state and ma
tional trade assemblies and was of 8
centralized form. But it did not &C
complish the specific results aimed al
by the various trades. In course Of
time, moreover, it adopted a political
platform and it's aims became too com.
pick and involved to suit some of the
local unions.
Seceders from the knights of Labor
and others formed the AmalgamateG
Labor union and at a convention al
TerFe Haute, Ind, in 1881, this organi
cation was merged with another of 6

Coming back through the China sea,
we sailed through miles of snakes

or. with sort of brown band They
would tie themselves up in knots, but
as the ship drew near they would open

ION a Sunday afternoon in a dead

which was about eight feet long. There
was nothing inside of him.
Through the Indian ocean to the
Cape of Good Hope it was mostly q

After sighting Cape Agulhas light and
rounding the cape, we hove to under

independent trades union congress
which met at Columbus, O., in Deem

was given the title, the american
Federation of Labor
This is the federation which now
controls trades unionism in North
America and which appears to be a

predecessors. 1t has a membership

furtherance of civilization based up
on industrial progress, by securing to
toilers reduction in the-hours of Ia
Dor and alienation of other pro-

Although trades unionists deserve
the credit for adding Labor day to
the list of our holidays, the day has
now a significance beyond that of q
mere holiday for organized labor
which, after all, is but one part of the
world of commerce and toll to which
the day now belongs-not> only as q
day of recreation, but as a symbol OF
the public recognition of the honor
due to workers, as an indication of the
place which honest toll holds in the
hearts of the American people. The
legislative recognition of the day was
without doubt an important factor in
paving the way for federal recognition
of labor, the climax of which was the
act of congress of February, 1903
which provided that the presidents
cabinet should include the chief of an
Independent bureau of commerce and
labor, whereas the United States de-
partment of labor, organized in 1885
had been merely one of the bureaus Of
