Great Gathering of
Wage Farmers.
PICNIC AFTER PARADE
Thousands of Men in Line of March

Day after tomorrow Will witness the
greatest Labor Day celebration that
has ever been held in the Calumet reg
ion. The parade in the morning and
games and other pleasures at Douglas
Park in the afternoon will be the
features of the celebration.
Perhaps the most interesting fact is
that for the first time since the labor
men have been holding celebrations in
Hammond and vicinity. all of the cities
in tie region are TO be represented.
Il is said there are to be carpenters
from East Chicago, Indiana Harbor.
Gary, Whiting and Gibson and there
are also to be iron workers from East
Chicago here.
In fact there is to be the greatest
gathering of workers in Hammond than
have have ever been gotten together in
these prosperous and peaceful times
and the city is to be turned over to
them on Labor Day.
The atheltic games will be one of
the greatest attractions at Dougla9
park Monday. There will be prizes
galore and everyone from a fat man
TO red headed one will be able to
contest for them. There will also be
prizes for the women and children.
The prize list as published in the
LAKE COUNTY TINES some time ago. is
complete with the exception of the
following prizes. There will be a Sc
credit slip for the winner of the
Marathon race. This will be good at
the Harvard Dental parlors or at
Elstner's clothing store.
There will also be speeches at Doug
las park in the afternoon by well
known men and these will be on sub
jects pertaining to Labor Day, and the
cause for which labor unions, stand.
There will be a grand raffle of a
cocoa set which was donated by the
Lion store and two races, the one for
red headed men and with men who have
fancy vest are expected to take the
cake.
The weather is the only thing to be
feared and with a fine day the cele-
bration will be one of the most sue
cessfuI that has ever been held in Ham
mond.
