New York, September 5.-This after.
noon when the whistles blow and the
wheels in the myriad workshops and
factories of the metropolis cease to
revolve, the workers of New York
will begin a holiday season that will
extend through two days. And it is
their own holiday, period conse-

sweatshop and the high-salaried me.
chanics.
1t was from small beginning just
twenty-six years ago today that the
present national observance of Labor
Day has grown. New York had the
honor Of originating the movement.
On September 5, 1882, less than a
hundred members of the knights of
Labor gathered in City Hall Park,
with William McCabe, as their grand
marshal" In its beginning it was a
dismal procession, many timid work
lngmen fearing ridicule and possible
trouble with the police if they partici-
pated in the demonstration.
From City Hall to Aston place but
few converts were added to the ranks
of marchers, but at the latter point a
large number of organizations Joined
the parade. Fearing that the process
sion might be disrupted in the early
stage of its journey up town, thsse
shrewd laborers had awaited the sue
cess of their drawer comrades before
risking participation in the demonstra-
on of the "proletariat."
