PROCLAMATION
FOR LABOR DAY

Governor Davidson yesterday issued
a proclamation setting apart Monday,
September 7, as labor day, and adj
vising it's general observance and
celebration. The proclamation is as
follows:
by authority of law, /, James o.
Davidson, governor of the state Of
Wisconsin, hereby designate Monday,
September 18th, as labor day.
Labor is the creator of wealth.
Without labor capital would be I'M
employed and useless. When COM
bined in friendly cooperation labor
and capital make for the greatest hui
man happiness and the broadcast and
highest civilization. What is needed
at this time is a spirit Of justice on
the part of capitalists and laborers and
"a knowledge of the dependence of
each upon the other. Harmony, and
not hostility, should mark their union,
and both should regard the interests
of consumers, who finally bear labor
burdens and furnish to capital it's
profits.
THAT the day may be properly OBJ
served, and that the motive which
prompted its establishment may be
advanced, | recommend that indus
trial institutions generally suspend
operations, and that, so far as posi-
BILE, employers and employees alike,
join in the celebration of labor day"
