Greatest Ever.
Without exception. the Labor day

and plans have been laid for months
past to make the one this year even
greater. In fact. as soon spring
| leaders I'm salt Lake started at once
upon the Labor day celebration Of this
year. The matter has been talked over
at each meeting OF the several unions
during the summer months. and crys-
talized some weeks ago in concerted
movements to capture the prizes Of
fered..
Members OF the different unions are
not going out Of their way TO tell OF
any pet schemes which they have
worked up for their floats and exhibi-
tions. These are being kept strictly
20 themselves. and there will likely be
many surprises. even among the labor
men. when the long line OF floats Is
seen going up the street
Last year the structural iron work
ers Of the Salt Lake district carried
small bridge had been put together on
the float and as the flat wagon was
being pulled through the streets, eN-
pert workuen Of the union tossed red
hot bolts through the air. caught them
in pals and riveted them into place in
the bridge. When the parade had been
finished, every rivet had been mashed
into place and the steel bridge wa as
solid as it is possible to make them.
The work OF the men or the float
brought forth cheer after cheer IS this
unique display was hauled through the
streets.
Erect steel Building.
This year the iron workers have gone
the bridge one better-they will show
how to erect a steel office building. OF
m mature size. The unrights and cross
pieces win be fixed in place before the
float is started on its way through
the streets, with only the riveting left
to be done. A compressed air. auto
matte riveter-commonly known as a
gun will be used for this work, and
half dozen men will be busy hammer
ing away with the air drills as the pa
radc moves along. II is an educational
scheme for the benefit OF the general
public. as are the rest OF the floats
showing as clearly as possible just
what are the functions OF each Of the
Ia Dor unions. which are the very sinews
.Of the building development OF the city.

work and what they do. The float or
the Iron workers will he % feet long
and will be too heavy for team OF
horses. Therefore, one OF the large
electric trucks OF the city will be
brought into service TO pull the NINA
ture steel skeleton building as IL is be
ing riveted together.

salt Lake what they can do in an in

the work they do is worth anything

floats. The steel bridge constructed
two years ago, was sold for scrap iron.

be that the same thing will be done
with the miniature building this year.
An effort IS on foot. however. TO have

The plaStererS OF salt Lake are also
in the race for the winning honors for
the best float. More than a dozen
members Of the union have been busy
for weeks preparing house. with whiC
they will show exactly how they do
their work. The plasterers ran the
iron workers q close second I'm the
float contest last year and members OF
the union declare they viii finish at
the head of the list this year. But
they are not telling much about what
they will show. other unions will also
have fine floats in the parade. and all
will be inspected critically by judges
appointed FOR this work
Labor day will be a holiday through
out the state and nation. and there
will be nothing for the union men TO
do but to enjoy themselves. All places
