the most of the commercial business Is
done, although there are many shops IN
the Tartar city as well.
Looking over the Chinese city. as We
stand on the wall, we can see some great
temples with circular roofs of blue tile
at it's extreme southern end. Those

itself. BY all rights. it should be the
most valuable property i'm Peking and
the ground upon which it stands is worth
millions. This city is. | Judge about a
half mile long and perhaps two-thirds as
wide. 1t is walled on the south by the
great structure which Yung Lo built, and
on the other three sides by walls which
have been put up since the siege Inside
those walls are the homes of the foreign
legations. The most of them are mansions
of brick and stone, built European
fashion, each collection of buildings being
surrounded by wall OF its own.
This city has its own police and its own
soldiers. Each legation has a company
or so to guard it, and one can see almost
every uniform known to Europe, as he
walks through the streets. Inside the
compounds are barracks, and on some of
their walls the soldiers march up and
down. The whole is more like an armed
camp than a city, and the ministers live
like feudal lords in their castles, with
the.r retainers about them.
The legation city is divided up by wide
streets. 1t is lighted by electricity and
is kept clean as a pin. 1t represents
of the most striking parts of the Pekug
of 1909.

old and the new are going along hand in

But come with me to the top of the. wall
and take look at Peking as it lies out
here on the northern edge of the Great
Plain of China in this year of our Lord,
1909. Those hills at the back fade away
into the mountains of Mongolia, and the
level lands in front stretch on and on to
the Yellow river, and thence down to
the Yangtse Kiang. We can see villages
here and there Spotting the landscape.
The country is Swarming with people and
there are tens of millions within day s

the Tartar city, in which are the great

nearly every trade union is represente5

large in the annals of the past.
September 5. 1882, when the general
assembly convened in New York, the
first great Labor day parade was held
At that time the different local as

the general assembly was the sublec:

convention. The various organizations
of the city and vicinity formed d 81
gantic parade that was long remem-
bered. and afterWard they held a pic
mic and listened to addresses by noted
and enthusiastic labor representatives.
When the general assembly opened {,
communication was read by the secrc-
tary of the New York Central Labor
Union. Matthew Mcclure. inviting the
body to review the great parade from
the grandstand at Union Square. re-
cess was declared and the members of
the general assembly viewed the initial

Uncle Dick 1t is claimed that this
was the first time the term Labor day
had been used in reference to parade
of the laboring masses. and it is certain
that 1T was the formal christening of
the day as Labor day
The next year the organizations of New
York city celebrated the first Monday In
September. and when. in 1884. the aues-
ton of parading again came up for dis
cin in, fha I al Union
resolution was offered by George X
Lloyd to declare the first Monday in Sep
tember permanent labor day The
resolution was at once adopted, and steps
were Immediately taken to have the leg
islature enact a law making it a legal
holiday. to be known as Labor day. The
agitation thus begun extended to other
states with the result that In the next
ten years twenty-five states adopted La
Dor day legislation. At the present time
there are but two or three states which
have not enacted this law.

the first Labor day celebration was an
occasion of note. Ten thousand men
marched down Pennsylvania avenue on
that day, while their admiring rela-
tives and friends lined the way. Now,
when it seems to be regarded mercy
as a holiday. the ld-time Labor day
parade is but a memory of custom
grown obsolete in the Capital city.

dicates that it is day set apart for

the controversy, hold the original date.
In California the first Monday in October
is Labor day. in Louisiana the date is
said to be November %, and Wisconsin
leaves it to the governor to set the date
annually. Though New York was the
first state to introduce the measure. Ore
gon was the first to pass the bill into a
law.
The fundamental idea of Labor day was
that on that day no question of local i'm
portance, no strike, no controversy or
dispute should in any manner interfere
with it's proper observance. The original
mode of observing it was to parade. hold
festivals and picnics, during which speak
ers should address the multitudes upon
topics relating to the welfare of the in
dustrial masses. Questions of political,
social and economic importance should
be discussed on this day. 1t was intend
ed that the ground upon which industrial
lists should meet on Labor day should re-
Semble an open court in which all SIDES
of the mighty question of production
could be fairly and cleanly thrashed out
pro and con.
In Washington the first real Labor day
parade was held in 1894. just subsequent

the city were constructed by an emperor
who reigned seventy-three years before
Columbus tried 10 find a way TO
China and discovered our world. There
are about twenty-five miles of them,
and they are high that they can be
seen for long distance outside PekinS.

have cemented to granite.
These walls were first erected almost 800
years ago. They have been kept in good or
