Toi|ers' Turnouts In the Early
DAYS and Those of the Present
Time Afford a Striking CON-
parison - Growing Num-
Der Of Representatives
at Washington.

4 unsung hero, but a hero none
the less-thus we might de-
~ scribe the honest toiler who
- earns his bread by the sweat
of his brow; not only by the sweat OF
his brow IN many cases, but at the
risk Of his life. There are the struc-
tural ironworker, the result OF whose
skllful hand is seen in the above pic
ture, and the coal miner, a type OF
whom is also shown and than whose
work none is more hazardous.
A desire to better their conditions
and a realization Of the truth Of the
maxim, In union there is strength"
led to the first organization Of labor.
The initial attempts at carrying through
the labor movement idea We're attend
ed by many discouragelnents, but its
promoters soon learned how to remedy
errors and improve the scheme as a
whole. The work was made more per-
feet year by year until now u great
armies of toilers are banded together In
their various crafts and governed by
rules and regulations which guard
against many Of the mistakes Of the
movement in its early days.
Ever since the first labor parade in
New York city, back in 1882, the dem
onstrations in all our large cities aud
smaller manufacturing centers have
evidenced the increasing strength of
this organized army. 1t was due to the
general assembly Of the Order Of the
Knights Of Labor, which met IN New
York city that year. that the holiday
has attained its present importance
and widespread observance. for now ii
is a legal holiday throughout the Unit
ed States.
First Observance as National Holiday.
On June %. 1894. President Cleve-
land approved an act of congress max
ing the first Monday in September Of
each year q legal holiday in the United
States.
The first national Labor day was
celebrated Sept. ) Of that year in New
York city by a parade of organized la
borers numbering about 5000 and IN
various suburban resorts by severa1
thousand more, who preferred TO de
vote the holiday to picnic sports rather
than to marching or demonstrations

in the morning. Some of the organiza-
lions concluded that their funds could
be used in q more satisfactory manner
and SO did not turn out at all in the
parade or sen only a delegation. and
then there was the strong counter at
traction Of the many country excur-
sions to which wives and children
could he taken. But the parade was a
success in many ways not noticeable
on former Labor days. The paraders
made a much improved appearance as
a body.
twenty-five different industries were
represented in the column, some by
several separate organizations, and
with the marshalS and aids and bands
and police they made Il line Of march
ers which extended from Central park
to Union square by way Of Fifth I'VE

First Labor Man In Congress.
The first union man was elected to
congress in 1894. He was Ely Moore,
a journeyman printer. who Went to
the Twenty-tourth congress and was
reelected to the Twenty-ffth from
New York city. He was a member
Of what was then known as the Typo
graphical Association of New York. or
gained June II, 1881. Moore also
was editor of a labor paper,
When he was about to take his seat
for his first term a movement was set
on foot looking to shutting him out.
His opponents declared that the cleo
ton of a labor union man to congress
imperiled the liberties of the republic.
But Moore acquitted himself so ably
that he became a confidential adviser
OF President Polk.
Moore was born in New Jersey and
died in Kansas.
Now Represented by Seventeen.
Since Moore's time the trade unions
have been endea voring to increase
their numbers in congress. and the fact
that they have seventeen representa-
tives in the SiXty-third congress shows
noteworthy progress in this direction.
The year 1906 marked a concerted
movement Of organized labor into the
field of national politics, not for the
purpose OF Promoting the interests of
any political party, bu to secure rep
resentation III the popular branch of
congress ly the election Of trade union
lists without regard to the political
party with which they are affiliated.
That partisan politics are t;tbooed by
experienced union men is based on the
fact that there. is such Il diversity of
interests involved that PARTISAN puliti
cal action would cause such injury t.
the workers and such an %upheavul in
the ranks Of the organized labor move.
