1t dignity and power that pre-

great reason for the celebration of

And the future can be dealt with

though 1T was the pioneer in this
line. the Empire State did not of
ficially set aside day for labor
until long after workingmen in
other States succeeded in having
bills passed by their legislatures
New Y Iorli showed the way. but its
legislature was slow to act.
The idea of setting aside a dav
for the sole purpose of the working
people originated with the Central
Labor Union. of New York in 1852
The annual parade which the body
held III September of that year was
looked upon with much favor, and
agitation was at once started to-
ward having a celebration one day
of each year. the same to be known
as Labor Day. In 1883 the labor
organizations of New York chose
the first Monday in September for
their holiday, and III the following
year 1t was voted by the combined
labor forces to have this day set
apart for their annual demonstIa-
ton.
The matter of legalizing Labor

the attention of the legislature.
