LABOR PARADE IN NEW YORK

More Men Are Employed Today Than
at Any Time in Last Twenty
Two MOnths--striIkes Mt
Pittsburg.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5--With no strike of
consequence except that of the hatters in
progress in Greater New York the Labor
Day parade tomorrow will find more
marchers in line and more of them with
jobs than last year. Approximately 5000
workmen, with twenty bands representing
fifty-nine unions, will parade from Central
park down Fifth avenue to Washington
square.
In the afternoon there will be games,
att letic events and speeches all over the
city John Mitchell, second vice president
of the American Federation of Labor, to.
day contrasted present conditions with
those of year ago
"From personal observation and general
information" ne said, "it is evident to me
that more men are employed today and
that more are being employed than at any
time during the last twenty-five months.
Last December the estimate made by
the American Federation of the number of
organized workmen Of the United States
at that time unemployed put the figure at
100000 or about 80 per cent of the whole.
The latest figures available for the state
Of New York indicates that the unemployed
has been reduced to nearly one-hah in this
state, and / think from previous experience
the condition in the state of New York can
be taken as fair indication Of the condi-
ton throughout the state"
Colonel NJ. ]. Deagan, Industrial mediator
of the New York state labor department,
said:
THE attitude which both employers and
workmen are taking toward each other
is becoming much more reasonable. They
have learned that strikes and lockouts do
not pay. 1t is much better for both to
go on with the work while the point in
dispute is being settled by conference. At
the present moment there are few dis
putes pending and the industrial horizon
is clear"
Many pastors in the city touched upon
the labor question during their sermons
today.
Advice from Duncan.
James Duncan, first vice president of
the American Federation of Labor, issued
the following Labor day appeal here to-
day to the workingmen OF the entire coun-
try:
''Where parades are in evidence march
with heads erect proud Of your calling
and your cause, and bear yourself through
out with the noble dignity becoming the
union freemen.
Let your addresses IN the halls and on
the hustings be respectful Of the laws and
institutions of our country, for by so doing
you will symbolic the true union man
who, while he may desire changes OF acts
which he believes are oppressive, knows
he is a citizen of a republic and will go
about the necessary change in a deliber-
ate manner becoming to true citizenship.
Use no apologetic tone, for you are
right in your purpose; apologies are out of
order except for wrongdoing. Add cheer
fulness to the sentences composing the
Labor day addresses; Il is not a funeral
procession that is being addressed. BE
hopeful in the general tone OF your re-
marks, which VIII be befit the occasion,
