LABOR PROBLEMS ARE
COMBINED WITH PROGRESS
Vice President Fairbanks Ex-
presses This View at
Dedication of Park

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept labor park
was formally dedicated today by the
union men of the city and neighboring
towns. The park had been purchased
recently to be used exclusively for labor
celebrations. 1t is beautifully situ-
ated in West indianapolis.
Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks
was the principal speaker. He said:
There has been during the last few years q very
noticeable Improvement in labor conditions. This
has been due In large degree TO the perfection
and influence OF labor organizations and the CO.
operation OF many thousands who have believed
were matter of the very first Importance TO the
great body Of citizenship. Such gratifying
condition is due to a wide increase in labor
interests and TO the education OF the people to
its condition and 10 its real and just needs.
Discussion has brought about better conditions
for labor upon the railroads, in shops. factories
and mines. Ii has tended 10 bring about a bet
ter understanding between empl0ye aud employer.
There is nothing like frank discussion; nothing
like the meeting OF men face to face. II tends
10 remove error and establish better relations
between them. The fact is that the great body
of men want to be fair, and il they wrong
they sooner or later get right. II Is all a
matter of education; a matter Of free and fair
discussion. There Is nothing that win stand the
light of discussion better than the varied and
vast interests of labor Its interests are so
interviewer with social and national progress
that whatever concerns its welfare concerns the
welfare Of our entire citizenship.

THREE UNIONS
REFUSE TO MARCH
Carpenters, Pressmen and Print
ers of Stockton Object to
j. D. McGaughey
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

STOCKTON, Sept. Harmony did
not prevail in the observance of Labor
day today. The carpenters union.
numbering about 500 members; the
pressmen, numbering about 20 mem
oers, and the printers. having a total
strength of 40 members, refused to
march in the parade owing to the fact
that j. D. McGaughey. editor of the
Advocate, the official union paper, was
appointed president of the day
According to the members of the
unions that refused to parade. Nc
Gaughey is attempting to introduce
politics and bossism into the building
trades council and into the central labor
council. For some time ill feeling has
existed between the printers and press
men and the editor by reason of the
alleged fact that McGaughey sent out
much OF the printing matter advertis-
ing Labor day to Sacramento, instead
OF patronizing local shops This move
on the part of MeGaughey is said TO
have been done in the hope of getting
the Advocate imprint on such matter
as was printed relative TO the labor day
exercises.
The pressmen claim that McGauehey
is not entitled to the imprint because he
does not print his own paper but has
1t printed in shop other than his own.
1t is argued by the union men that his
effort to get the imprint was to impress
the public with the idea that his paper
was being published in a shop of its
own, thereby enabling him to get more
and better advertising matter. The
rules governing the imprint require
that the imprint is furnished only To
shops in which papers are printed.
McGaughey is said to have offended
in other respects, and has lost cast
with unions to such an extent that they
will not participate in any movement
in which he is interested.
Walter Macarthur, editor of the
Coast Seamen's Journal of San Fran
cisco, delivered the main oration at the
literary exercises held in connection
with the celebration.
THOUSAND MEN IN LINE
All told about 1000 men were in line
and there were a number of attractive
floats. Each of the unions appeared in
characteristic uniforms symbolic of
their trades and received much ap-
plause along the line of march.
After reviewing the purposes of La
Dor day observances Macarthur said:
The vital interest of Labor day is as
sured if only by the faet that each year
presents some new phase of the prob
lem confronting the labor movement.
Whether it be in some new step achieved
or in some new danger arisen, the man
who addresses the assembled workers
and their friends is certain to find at
