TO HOLD SPECIAL
SESSION

(By United Press Leased Wire
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 4.
The administration and the
leaders of congress today are con-
sidering plan for a special ses-
sion of congress to be held in Oc-
tober of next year to consider the
report of the National Monetary
commission. It has been decided
not to attempt to present the re-
port of the commission at the next
regular session which will begin
December 1.
1t is realized that the subject
will cause extended debating, and
there is strong belief that 1t
would be best to consider 1t at q
session called especially for that
purpose.

AT THE GRAND.

The most popular act at the
Grand this week is the sleight-of-

Kean. His stunts are very start

that the audience is kept in con-
slant wonderment. Three French
girls have an especially difficult
acrobatic and contortionist act,
and they are very graceful in per-
forming the tricks. Alfred X. Hall
is a fair comedian, and his eccen-
trio dancing is above the usual

LABOR. MEMORIAL: .:::DAY
SECOND SAnDAY: IN MAY
Members Of Organized Labor
Urged to Observe the Day by
Appropriate Exercises.
BY Rev. Charles. SteIze,

The American Federation Of Labor
has decided that the second Sunday
in May shall annually be observed as
Labor's Memorial Sunday For five
years the Presbyterian department of
Church and Labor has been observing
Labor Sunday on the Sunday pre-
vious to Labor Day, but in order, to
bring the celebration of this day into
harmony with the general plan Of or
ganized labor the day was changed
to the second Sunday in May. This
year Labor's Memorial Day falls on
Sunday, May 9Th, and I have just
written to the ministers of the 11,0OO
Presbyterian churches in the United
States requesting them to discuss
some phase of the labor question upon
this OCCASION ..-~..-- 3
Entitled to Recognition.
Labor Sunday has been made a.
calendar day by our department. We
believe that, just as Memorial Day and
the several birthdays" show our ap-
probation Of those who rendered pat
motto service and just as the Church's s
holy days. do honor to those who
served mankind spiritually, so Labor S
Memorial Day should be observed by
the churches in honor Of the millions
of toilers who daily serve mankind
In the humber places Of life. 1t should
be given a wider scope than the re-
cognition merely of those who have
passed away. The day should be made
Of such significance that it will en-
courage: those who are today engaged
in the task of uplifting our common
humanity. 7 Workingmen will thus have
an opportunity to demonstrate their
interest in the great labor movement

not as yet appeared generally, but
when 1t is stated that the reduced
price cf iron has not stimulated buy
Ing 1t is plain that commerce is de-
cltning. The transition from a periol
or cycle Of high to low prices is not
accomplished in an erratic manner
BY reference to our former general
industrial depression the acute stage
was reached in 1893. Two or three
years prior to this however, the trend
was downward, and when the bottom

commerce commenced to take the up
grade it required a number of years
to again reach normal conditions
Logic of Events.
If the logic Of events in the past can
be depended upon, and every indica-
ton points in that direction at this
time, we are within two Or three years
of a general industrial depression. The
government deficit; the falling price
of lion; the large nunha: Of une1n-
p'cyed; cessation of the expanding
OF enterprises and n general reduction
OF wages in the iron Industry with
but few large undertakings being pro
NOTED, suggests. that the slowing down
process is upon US.

era situation and act in accordance
herewith 1t will be possible to main
tain In a large part the conditions
we have so valiantly fought for But
II we forget Or refuse to take cog
Gus consequences will follow. From
this time on during the coming few
years 1t should be the aim of every
LABOR official to promote good fellow
snip In the movement, avoiding con-
1i1cts wherever possible, and by all
means relegating jurisdictional ques-
| t1ons. There are many questions. It
Is true, which require settlement
primarily that of two organizations
In the same craft Or where iurisdic-
t1ons overlap. But If these crafts af

and conditions of employment, it would
be: a wise course to follow to fodrmu-

ceed harmoniously, providing, of course
! that these crafts are recognized bv
the regular movement,
A tremendous impetus can be- given
the movement If our international Of
f1cers were TO inaugurate campaign

Is not necessarily the large one, and

Exercises Suggested.
- A special souvenir program has been
prepared by the Presbyterian Depart
ment Of Church and Labor, Of which
thousands Of copies have already been
sent, upon request, to those who ex-
pect to- observe the day. In many
cities the central labor bodies have
accepted invitations to march to the
church to listen to the address and
to take part i nthe special exercises
which have, been prepared.
The plan has the hearty endorse
ment of some Of the most prominent
labor men in America.
Appeal to Workers.
May I suggest that the worl1ingmen
in every city respond to the appeal Of
the ministers who expect to observe
this day and If no invitation has, as
yet, been issued to them by the local
minister, 1t might be good plan to
encourage him to observe the day by
