ORIGIN OF
LABOR DAY
Born Of New York Parade Of 'Workmen
Twenty-eight Years Ago This Month.

The American Federation Of Labor
arose as the Knights of Labor fell. At
convention in Columbus, Ohio. in
1886, the American Federation of La
bor then five years old, received into
its membership about nine-tenths of
the disappointed members of the
knights of Labor. The purpose Of the
American Federation Of: Labor was to
band together the men of the various
trades and crafts and then federate
them into great central body. No
social or lodge or brotherhood features
were incorporated in the new organi-
zation S constitution and by laws.
The Federation of Labor was organ
lied in 1881. Samuel Gompers was it's
first president and. has held that posi-
tion ever since with the exception of
two years when john Mcbride, min
er, defeated him for the honor. The
organ ofthe federation Of which Com
pers is the editor il the American Fed
erationist.
The growth of unionisln in the Uni
ted States has been marvellous during
= = = :
the past 80 years. At the present time
the labor unions in America have a
greater membership than ever before
in the history Of the labor movement.
In the American Federation Of Labor
therear now affiliated about 120 ma
tionaland international labor unions
representing approximately 1000 To-
cal labor unions. The number OF state
federations of labor is about 40 and
there are nearly 800 central city labor
bodies and more than 500 local trade
and labor unions. In the aggregate
more than 2,00O, 900 are members of
the body or are affiliated with it. Out
side the American Federation Of La
Dor are the plasterers and bricklayers,
the trainmen' unions, such as locomo-
tive engineers, flrenen and switchmen,
and a few others, in all about 5OO,-
900.

i Trade in good to choice beef
lsteers was very satisfactory, de-
mand being excellent at prices
steady to strong. Common and med
lum lots, owing to the liberal runs
OF Texans at the River markets,
We're dull sale and lost Is to soc.
Top beeves $3.50, paid for extra
choice, |, ,300-lb Montanas. Cows and
heifers strong to 10c higher, with
the summit at So. 40. Prices for beef
steers ranged from $3.75 to $50,
with bulk Of sales at $4.75 to 5.75.
Sales Of cows and heifers sold from
! So 90 TO 5. 40 and most at S3.65 to
,,5.25.
Local slaughterers and eastern
BUYERS are evineing very keen inter-
est IN fat range cattle, owing to tha
growing scarcity of fat corn-fed of
fefings. We look for this condition
to continue the balance of the sea
son and would not be surprised to
see still higher rates ensue, owing to
the impending shortage of fat ma
tlves for the next sixty days. It will
surely pay to hold back immatured
cattle for three or four weeks long
er. as weight will be greatly appre-
ciated by the buyers from now on.
Both slaughterers and feeder buy
! ers are vigorously protesting against
the prevailing range Of prices for
sheep and lambs. The former claim
that the consumptive demand has
been reduced owing to the high cost
OF meat and the latter say that TAX
ing on thin stock with corn so high
in price is a very dangerous under
taking. The result has been a dull
and declining trade in lambs, fat
grades showing Is to 25c loss and
feeders mostly 10c. Owing to the
light run Of both sheep and year
lings, buyers were unable to dictate
terms for these and prices were held
about steady for both mutton and
feeder classes. Top lambs for the
week made S7.85, paid early in the
week, but just as good offerings
had to go lately at $7.65, while the
bulk Of offerings for the week went
at S7.25 to Z rs. Top yearlings $3.50
and most at SIS. 40 to $50. A spread
of $3.50 to 40 gathered in the
bulk of the sheep, the latter price
being the summit. Most Of the feed
er sheep at S3.75 to 4.60, bulk of
yearlings $500 to 5.35 and lambs
largely at $500 to CTS. Best year
ling breeder ewes at S6.35 to $40,
with four's and two's at s4.75 to
5.75.
From all indications there is dam
ger of congested supplies the next
eight weeks or so. During this time
the great bulk Of the western range
offerings will be marketed. For this
reason we again caution the flock
masters to keep all stock suitable
for the market coming as fast as
convenient. Please understand that
We do not look for very low prices
to rule any time this season, but
that old saying, "A bird in the hand
is worth two in the bush" IS appli-
cable now.

which is now generally observed in
every Important center of population
in the United States, is an institu-
ton Of comparatively recent origin.
The first Labor day celebration ever
held was on the first Monday in Sept
enber, 1881, in New York city. The
general assembly of the Knights of
Labor was in session at that time and
a parade of 10000 members was re-
viewed by the general officers in Union
Square. It was on that occasion that
Ithe name Labor day. was first
used.
Master Workman Powderly was
standing in the reviewing stand with
General Worthy Foreman Griffith, a
veteran in the labor movement. Rob-
ert Price, coal miner. and a mem
ber of the assembly of the Knights,
! watched the parade for a few minutes
and then slapping Griffith on the back,
said: well, Jack, this is labor day
all right, isn't it?'
That remark, overheard by George
N. Lloyd of the New York Central
Labor union, led him to introduce a
resolution in his local, setting aside
the first Monday in September as a
day to celebrate labor's progress. He
took his resolution to the New York
Legislature. While it was pending
there Oregon with fewer than 1000
trades unionists, passed a state law
designating a labor day. New York,
with 800, 900 unionists, although first
to propose the law, was second to enact
one. Now practically all the states
have Labor day laws. The. national
government in 1894 recognized the. day
and congress in a resolution fixed the
first Monday in September as a day
when all work would b suspended and
employees and employers would get to-
gether to discuss their general welfare
AS Labor day was originally set
aside to celebrate from year to year
the progress Of organized labor, itInay
be interesting to review the history
and development Of labor organizations
in this country The first definite record
of a labor organization dates back to
1903, when the Shipwrights' society
in New York was formed. There were
some attempts Of organizing the mem
bers of several crafts in Boston, New
York and other eastern cities long
before that time, but they were of a
purely local character and not endur-
ing or large enough to become impor
tant In 1906 the tailors and the carpen-
ters followed the example Of the ship
builders and organized. During the
following four or five decades many
other labor unions were formed.
TO the printers may be given the
credit for the formation of the first
union of modern type. In 1852 the
National Labor union, was organized. |
It's field became political Immediately |
and it was only three years later that |
the Knights of Labor, with Terence
v. Powderly at It's. head, first dared
to manifest itself. The Knights of /
Labor was primarily lodge Of work
ing men. It's principles and purposes
were not much like those Of the Amer
can Federation Of Labor as it exists
today. The Knights of Labor drifUed /
INTO politics and this sealed the doom
# the organization. When in 1893
resigned from the presi-
ieney, the membership Of the organi-
sation had dwindled from nearly
!, 900, 900 to practically nothing. /
