LESSON OF LABOR Gay
An Annual Holiday That Is More
Than lust a Play Time

The first Monday in September
brings an annual reminder OF the fact
that one of the holidays which are
now practically nationwide is SO new
and SO vital that 1t is growing visibly
and rapidly In prestige and usefulness.
Labor day was an experiment 80 re-
Gently that men still young remember
its beginnings; now 1t is one OF the
firmly established and much-valued
rest and recreation days OF the year.
But the day Is more than that. 1t
is a holiday which is not mere play
day. Nor is 1t only celebration OF
some great event Of the past 1t looks
ahead quite as much as 1t looks back.
ward. It is filled with the spirit OF
advancing, confident. buoyant life. It
is even a militant day, with strong
suggestion of willingness and ability
to battle for rights denied or prin-
ciples assailed.
Labor day is broad enough. in its
name and in the break which 1t makes
in the regular grind of trade and In
dustry and in all of the productive
activities Of the country to cover all
kinds of work. but 1t is the especial
property of manual labor and more
particularly OF manual labor 30 organ
lied, SO awake and 80 strong that It
can speak as vast body OF men
trained to act together and work for
the same ends.
That is to say. the annual holiday
OF labor is taken as right, not as a
gift. It is demonstration of strength
ready forsuse. not day Of recreation
and fun without serious thought.
But the stronger labor becomes the
less danger there is of needless and
destructive labor wars. With power
comes responsibility. and the more
there Is that has been won the more
there Is. also. to hazard in strife. The
labor organizations which are most
thoroughly developed and united are
the ones which get along best with
employers and are most reasonable
and businesslike In the negotiations
which they carry on. The strong and
successful do not lightly risk the
fruits Of their past triumphs. and the
same qualities that made them sue
ceed keep them safe and sound.
Labor day IL filled with such les
sons. It is stimulating. thought-com.
pelliny and instructive AZ holiday
and there are few days in the year
which do more to make Americana
give attention to the large problems
Of their country and the times.
