at New York city in 1884, in effect
THAI 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 an 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 were
not uncommon at the end of the frs
quarter of the century. In 1929 dele.
gate was elected to the New York
state assembly on workingmen's
ticket and few years later the genera
trades union of New York city was
successful in electing it's representative
to congress. Various minor politica
movements were coincident, about thi'
time, with the formation of a NOR,
concrete labor sentiment, and out o
political activity, at different points
grew various municipal declarations O
trades unions. In 1881 local uniol
OF printers was organized and this wa
followed by the launching of othe
unions.

The Reason Why.

Drummond, Wis, Aug. 2lst (Special)-
Whole families in Bayfield, County are
singing the praises OF Dodds Kidney Pills
and the reason why is given in expert
ences such as that of Mr.. T. T. Void, a
wel-known citizen here.

did not know what to do" says Mr.
Void, land as l came across an advertise

pains. My wife also used them and found
them just what she needed. I recommend

GRAFTON in turn merged itself with an
independent trades union congress,
which met at Columbus, O., in Deem
Der, 1886, and the joint organization
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
healthier organization than any of its
predecessors. 1t has membership

wages and labor, the establishment of

on industrial progress, by securing to
toilers a reduction in the hours Of la

Although trades unionists deserve
the credit for adding a Labor day to
the list of our holidays, the day has
now significance beyond that of 6
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 6
day of recreation, but as a symbol o.
the public recognition of the honor

was started at Utica, N. Y, in 1884,
when at a convention of mechanics a
protest was adopted against the en-
ployment of prison labor in competi-
ton with free workmen. But this
mild protest for fairer dealing was fol-
lowed by few events of importance to
labor for 10 or IL years, at the end of
which time the Industrial Congress of
the United States was held in New
York, in the year 1916. In this year,
also, was organized the New England
Workingmen's association and the
New England Protective union-organ-

makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and irritable.

obliges you to get up many times during the
night. Unhealthy kidneys cause rheumatism,
gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain Or dull ache
in the back, joints and muscles; make your head
ache and back ache, cause indigestion, stomach
and liver trouble, you get sallow, yellow COM
plexion, make you feel as though you had heart
trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but
no strength get weak and waste away.
The cure for these troubles is DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the world-famous kidney remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help
to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect
healer and gentle aid 10 the kidneys that is

CONFERENCE MONDAY.
Endeavor to Avert Strike In Fall Riv-
er, Mass, Mills.

Fall River, Mass, Oct. 26.At the
very moment when a strike of more
than 10000 textile operatives in seven
ty-iye mills in this city seemed GER
taintx, the situation suddenly cleared
through the action of the Manufactur
ers' association and the outlook is
brighte than at any time since the
wage question has come to the front.
Meetings of the various unions of
textile workers had been called for last
night to take action on the question Of
calling strike in all the cotton facto-
ries controlled by members of the Man
afaeturers' association. Late in the
afternoon, however, committee rep
resenting the manufacturers held a con-
ference with a committee from the Tex
tile council. The manufacturers ex.
pressed the hope that 3 compromise
might be reached and requested that the
unions take no action on the matter of
calling ST. Ae before next Monday
night, III order, it was explained, that
further conferences might be held.
The committee representing the Tex
tile council acquiesced and the secreta-
ries Of the various unions were INSTRUCT
ed to bring the request Of the manufae
turers before the various organizations.
At last nights meetings Of the unions,
four Of the five organizations, the weav-
ers, spinners, carders, and loomhxers
unions voted unanimously to postpone
further action until next Monday night,
when the unions viii meet again.
The Slasher Tenders union took no
action because that organization is not
affiliated with the Textile council
A conference between the committees
representing the manufacturers and op.
eratives Is to be held at 230 o'clock
Monday afternoon. 1t Is believed In
union circles that there will be no
strike. The manufacturers have shown
a desire to effect a compromise, and it
is believed that the wage question will
be safely adjusted.

SERMON ON @wIcKEDNEss.'
Evangelist Gillian Preached to Large and
Serious Audience Last Evening.

One man on the street yesterday re-
marked that Mr.. Gillian had struck the
wrong place for such subject as
"Wickedness," but the evangelist did
not seem TO look for thoughts or ex-
preston. In fact it was a vigorous SER
mon to a large and serious audience.
Rev. Mr.. Miller of Rupert, VT, offered
prayer One Of the interesting features
was the singing Of Alexander's hymn
that has been 50 popular in the great
revival in England and Wales.
The sermon was based on Isa. 55:T,
Let the wicked forsake his way" The
preacher said that the term applies to
all who are not what they might be.
Also to those who know their duty and
will not do ii. 1t includes the self
righteous man. One day a woman in
black appeared in the Office of a former
attorney general Of the United States
with message from her dead son that
he had gone wrong through following
the example of the lawyer. The lawyer
was SO repentant that he offered to speak
at the Y. NJ G. a. in Washington the
following Sunday. AT the appointed
time he told crowded audience the
incident and urged them to come to
Christ.
God asks two things That we for
sake our sin. To forsake means to
move out Of, to let alone, Just as we
desert an old house for another dwell
ing. God also requires that we work
in his way. Why does God ask this1
Because no one else can do this for lis.
During a certain religious meeting a.
man came mp and taking from his poe
ket flask of whiskey laid it on the
stand, saying: Good bye forever" We
must say goodbye to our pet sins.
There is no better time than now.
1t was an impressive sermon, and was
followed By large and helpful after
meeting.
Mr. Gillian will preach this afternoon
at P. M. on The Definite Baptism Of
the Holy Ghost and at 7:30 on an
especially important theme.
