May s, 1852 One Of his characteristic re-
marks while discussing the advisability of
an annual holiday for the workingmen
and their relatives was:
Boys, let 1t be an occasion when we
can get together and talk things over"
The first celebration Of the day was
September 5. 1882 following McGuire's
proposition, when the toilerS of New York
comp rising the membership of the unions
that city, put aside their implements of
labor and observed that day as holiday
Other states followed suit and Congress,
believing that the day had its genesis in
public sentiment, passed the act which
made Labor day a legal holiday. The
act became a law June %. 1894.
In former years Labor day in this city
was marked by a great parade in which
carpenters. bricklayers, printers machin-
lists. bakers and the other trades par
ticipated. The marchers wore distinctive
flags and transperencies. There was the
'blare of brass and the thunder of bass
drums. Interspersed in the procession
were floats showing the local mechanics
working at their several Vocations.
But the late Milford Spohn. father of
the Washington Central Labor Union"
took a firm stand against the pageantry
and declared ii would be far better to
take the large sum of money necessary
for the parade and present it to. the
families of the unemployed workinsmen
of the District He also urged that the
celebration of the day be confined To an
outing of some character at which money
could be made for the unions rather than
spent on parades.
The advice of Father Spohn was fol-
lowed. In recent years the Central Labor
