Dor might be properly recognized there
was set aside in the United States
by act of Congress one day in each
year to be known as
LABOR DAY
and the first Monday of each Septem-

observed. The custom of observing
this holiday has grown with the
growth of our country, where most of
us are still laborers, and the recogni-
ton of the great work done by labor
ing men in the upbuilding of our coun-
try intellectually, morally and materi-
ally is recognized by all. 1t is fitting
to pay a tribute to the enormous ar
mics of labor:

recommend that all business of what
ever nature, except such as the ne
cessities of the people require to be
carried on, be suspended on that day
so that all who desire to do SO may
have an opportunity of observing the
day in such manner as may to them
seem best fitting to the occasion.
