The Day in Des Moines.
Des Moines, Sept 2-This is labor
day, and 5000 workmen paraded the
streets in the most pretentious turnout
ever participated In by the unions of
Des Moines and vicinity The parade
was remarkable for the number of
toilers in line, and noteworthy because
1t marks the greatest period of
strength of unionism since its incept
ion Workmen are now enjoying a
more equitable division of the fruits of
their labor than ever before, their pow
er has reached point of universal
recognition, and there are many things
of which they can feel proud.
Celebration in Morning.
The celebration proper was confined
to the hours of the morning, for by a
mutual agreement with Barnum &
Bailey the circus has full say during
the Afternoon and the evening, and
most of the laborers and their fami-
lies expect to attend the show as a
part of the Labor day celebration.
An unusual feature Of the parade
was the presence of about 1,500 miners
in this vicinity. Secretary Gus f. Mil
Ter of the Trades and Labor assembly
put forth special effort to get out the
disciples Of John Mitchell and in this
he has been successful not less than
nine unions Of this neignborhood hav-
ing given notice that their union would
be in line. Heretofore the miners have
not turned out more than 400 or 500
! strong.
