STEVENSON DELIVERS ADDRESS TO LABOR AT
BLOOMINGTON ON 1.-THE DAY We CELEBRATE

Bloomington. H., Sept. 7.-Union
Labor day was celebrated with huge
picnic this afternoon at which the
principal event was the speech by
Adlai E. Stevenson on the Day We
Celebrate" The address was devoted
to labor. John A. Sterling, the repub-
lican candidate for congress, also
spoke. Mr.. Stevenson said:
Mr.. President and Fellow Citizens:
l appreciate more fully than words can
express, the invitation so cordially ex-
tended me to speak upon this occasion.
My subject is, 1.-The Day We Cele-
brate.' Labor day-one of the grand
days of our calendar, and | trust the
time will never come when it will
cease to be duly observed. At this
very hour it is being celebrated by mil
lions of our countrymen throughout
the length and breadth of our land 1t
brated for more than a century as the
birthday of American independence.
Labor day, equally with our Independ-
ence day, will be honored by the on
coming generations of our countrymen
long after the vast assemblages of this
hour shall have mingled with the dust.
| am indeed gratificd to see in this
audience so many of the men with
whom | have long been connected in
the business of coal mining in this city.
My relations with them have ever been
of the most pleasant and satisfactory
character. Their generous confidence
has been manifested by many acts of
kindness. For the resolution they have
recently adopted personal to myself
desire now to tender them my sincere
thanks. | consider it great privi-
lege to be permitted to number them
one and all among my friends.
1t is well that, for the time, the cares
and struggles, and so far as may be,
the anxieties of crowded life, be laid
aside, and out attention given to the
day itself and all that 1t implies. 1t
will be help to us, one and all, to
catch something of the inspiration of
the founders of this day. Its setting
apart marked an epoch in human his
tory. The hour had struck that noted
the beginning of better conditions for
the working man; the lessening of the
hours of daily toll; the lengthening of
the period of recreation and rest; that
made possible larger time for the study
of the exalted duties of citizenship in
this government of the people; aye,
more, 1t marks the beginning of the
era OF longer hours at home, the care
and instruction of children, and the as
sociations sacred to every hearthstone.
To labor is the common lot of all of
the sons of men. And he who fails to
work either with brain or hand is a

Duluth. Sept. 7.-After destroying
the city of Chisholm, on the Mesaba
Range, and burning over thousands of
acres in st. Louis, Carleton and Itasca
counties in Minnesota, and the nor
thern portion of Douglas county, Wis
consin, the many forest fires in these
districts were checked today and if
the wind does not spring up again it
is not likely that further damage will
be great.
The strong wind which had driven
the flames before il in many timbered
and agricultural districts. subsided
this morning and the thousands of
homeless persons were given a chance
to take stock Of their belongings and
prepare to replace the many burned
farms and settlements and the once
fiourishing city of Chisholm, Go miles
north of Duluth.
The subsiding of the wind enabled
the inhabitants of Bu-.l and Nashwauk
to save those towns. Several buildings
at the edge of Nashwauk We're burned.
but by valiant all night work the 1000
miners and citizens prevented the
flames from sweeping over the village.
The town was surrounded by wall of
fire and its escape was remarkable.
Ruin and DcsOIation.
Chisholm presents scene of ruin
and desolation. Blackened and smok-
ing piles of charred wood, little heaps
of gray ashes stirred by the fitful
breeze, scorched gaunt skeletons of
brick and mortar, all canopied with a
dense pail of smoke. comprise what
was one of the most fiousrishing cities
on the great iron range.
The only remaining buildings are the
new $125,000 high school, the grade
school, the Catholic church, the Italian
church and dozen dwellings in the
southernmost parts of the town, which
were saved by few heroic fire fighters
