o f the Womens Union Label league,
headed by two floats emblematic of
their work. A committee from that or
ganization is at work and promises a
surprise for the public. 1t is expected
that lady members of the Laundry
Workers and the Retail Clerks unions
will parade. The addition of the women
wage earners and wives and female rel
atives of working men to the parade
will be a novel and pleasing feature.
The committee has decided to offer
three prizes of twenty-five fifteen and
ten dollars each for the best floats in
line. Several organizations have guar
more have the project under considera-
tion.
The length of the line will probably
necessitate four divisions, each one to be
led by band.
As speaker of the day, Mr.. Charles
Perry Taylor, of Tacoma, the gifted
secretary of the State Federation of
Labor, has been secured. Everett was
fortunate in securing his services this
year as many cities would have liked to
have had him for labor day orator. The
exercises will be held in Robbins park
in the afternoon. The afternoon will
be filled full of interesting events,
complete list of which will appear later.
A sixteen piece concert band will be on
hand to enliven the proceedings. The
Labor Day address will be delivered
there also. A game of ball between the
Moose and team yet to be selected
to send the retail clerks up against the
Moose and if successful the clerks will
strengthen up for the day and will give
the Moose battle royal. The sports
committee is working in conjunction
with the Stage Workers union on an
EVENT. for the afternoon which they hope
to put on. Details of this event cannot
be given at this time but if it is found
possible to put it on the public is prom
ised something distinctly novel and
which it has never before seen. We will
have more to say on this feature after
the meeting Of the sports committee
with the stage workers next Sunday.
Other novel events are being worked
out by the sports committee and moth
ing short of an earthquake or a hail
storm can prevent an afternoon of
amusement which the public will appre-
ciate.
The days doings will wind up with
the customary grand ball in the evening,
details of which will appear later.
The. Everett Yacht and Motor Boat
club are making extensive preparations
for big regatta that day and the com
bined attractions should bring crowds of
visitors to the city.
The Labor Day committee has ap'
pointed subcommittee to take care of
different features and each committee is
WOTklIS Hdlu' Inc Stiiciui Sohuiiotcc
will meet every Sunday morning to hear
reports of the subcommittee and it
will welcome any suggestions that will
lend attractiveness to the days gaiety.
The committee is very anxious that
unions that have not already reported
that they will be in line win do so at
once and give the approximate number
of men they will turn out. The planning
of the parade calls for a great deal of
work and planning and an early response
from the unions will help greatly in as
surfing that everything will move off
without a hitch.
Commercial floats from any business
house fair to organized labor viii be
welcomed in the parade and given a
place in the commercial section.
That anyone desiring information or
having suggestions to make that will be
of value to the committee may know
who to go to, we publish again the
names of the general committee; E. p
Marsh, Labor Temple, chairman; S. j.
Hart, Thos. Cooley, F. A. Robbins, Fred
Cuffin, Geo. Bourne, Frank Wagner,
