Washington is to have a genuine
Christmas spectacle play. such as the
chief cities of Europe have had during
the holiday week in the production of
Cinderella by the new Poll Players.
The production that has been planned
for next week revolves around the old
fairy tale, but it has been maze most
interesting for the grownups as well as
the little people. It's author. William
J. McKiernan, washington newspaper
man and successful! playwright. has
woven a very pretty story around the
old folk lore, and has introduced a
number of special features. This Is the
first time that the play has ever been
presented here. although IL has been
done in several other American cities.
One OF the big features will be a child
ren's ballet under the direction of Prof.
Leslie Holt. one of the best known d.
rectors OF children's dancing in the
country. This will form Il part of the
great Peace Spectacle" which has been
planned as one OF the special features.
In addition to the Christmas production
Santa claus will be present in person in
the lobby at Polls every afternoon
and will hold a reception at the big
Christmas tree, which has been set up.
Next Sunday afternoon the second
week OF the Universal Motion Pictures
presentation of Damon and Pythias"

triumph OF this big film spectacle, for
! u not only brings out windy the Won
derful friendship between the two an
Gent Greeks upon which the widespread
Knights of PythiaS found their order

American producers seemed to fall
short OF the marvellous effects attained
in Europe in spectacular film features

Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1914-09-04

President American Federation Of Labor
And this grew until the lawmakers
Of the country must needs take no.
tice Of such an insistent call.
Accordingly, on Jan. 4, 1887, bill
was introduced in the legislature of
New York state, providing for the set
ting aside, as legal holiday, devoted
to the interests of labor, the first Mon
day in each September-the first no
tice taken by any state of the Labor
day movement.
But though New York was the first
to take up the matter she was not
the first state to formally adopt 1t
into her laws. For faraway Oregon,
in whose legislature a Labor day bill
was introduced January II, passed 1t
into law by the signature Of its gov
ernor February ri, thus writing her
name at the head of the states In
adopting the movement as a formal
state measure. It was not until May
6 Of the same year that the New
York bill, introduced In January, was
passed and signed by the governor of
that state.
Two States Divide Honor.
Thus New York and Oregon may be
said to divide between them the honor
Of first formally recognizing Labor
day-New York by introduction Of the
first bill, Oregon by the passage OF
the first law.
After these two states had formally
set aside day the others followed
with more or less alacrity. 1t should
be said, in justice to these latter
states, that their delay in passing a
measure which, 1t was then clear to
the world, was desired by large
body of desirable citizens, was not due
to any organized opposition against
such a measure on the part Of any
political party or class of people, but
was due to two natural causes. One,
the congestion of many bills In the
various legislatures, whose consider
alton, from local causes, was matter
of great urgency. The other, that, as
the day had become, by common con-
sent Of the people throughout the
country, day of holiday, any ratifca-
tion Of such adoption by the people
was matter of pure formality.
1t was much like the case Of Deco
ration day. The spirit and sentiment
of the people in the South, where
most of the graves of the Civil war
were dug. crystallized upon a certain
time in the early summer to honor
the memory Of the dead by decoration
of the cemeteries, alike of Confederate
and Union dead. In the course of
years a certain day was formally
adopted by law by the various states
but few people can recall when theiI
particular state passed such a law.

less Of pomp and display, the man
must have been a dreamer, indeed,
who could see from that small begin
ming Americas great Labor day of the
present.
But, as far as can be learned, this
parade, Sept. 5, 1882, was the first
time that the labor unions set aside
a specific day devoted to the goddess
at whose shrine they worshiped, and
turned out in full force that all the
world might see. And this demon
stration was confined solely to New
York city.
limo Was Ausplclous.
It was on the occasion Of the an
nual meeting Of the knights of Labor,
which was held there that year. This
organization of labor had been
founded about fifteen years before by
some striking garment workers of
Philadelphia. 1t was born at a time
when the laboring man was beginning
to do good deal of hard thinking for
himself and wonder quite a deal
whether, all this talk about the bless
ings Of poverty and the lowly poor
being Gods own was quite as true as
its smug-faced teachers had, for gen.
erations, been DINING into the ears of
the man behind the hammer and the
shovel.
And so the Knights Of Labor, filed
fhoco &c
their head was Terence " Powderly.
now occupying responsible position
in the new Department of Commerce.
ut has been stated at various times
that Labor day had this or that man
for its father" said Mr.. Powderly,
when asked concerning this occasion
Of momentous birth. But the day
had no father, or rather" he corrected
with a smile, ''it had many fathers,
and l think I should know, having
been present at the birth.
Labor day, as we know it today,
was a growth, born from the percep-
ton Of many men at the same time of
the need Of such a day. OF such
movements, 1t is always hard to fix
an exact moment when they spring
into being-when, from a vague idea
they become the practical thing. But
of Labor day 1t can be said with GER
tainty that it was born in New York
city Sept. 5, 1922.
In Honor Of Knights Of Labor.
"At that time the knights of Labor,
Of which was grand master work
man, were holding their annual con-
vention in that city. The labor unions
Of New York determined to give a
demonstration in our honor, and so,
on the afternoon of the day mentioned,
they paraded to the number of several
thousand.
$50 eagerly had the idea been
grasped by the labor folks of New
York that the whole day was prac-
tically given over to labor-just as
the Fourth Of July is given over to
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1914-09-04

the consideration of our national in
dependence.
I'VE were deep in deliberations on
that day. l well remember, for the
cause of labor, before that time an
infant in swaddling clothes, was begin
ming to walk erect, and its inarticulate
cry of the past was framing itself into
sentences for the world to listen.
Therefore, when we were informed
that the laboring people of New York
had made the day a virtual holiday
and would parade in our honor, we
adjourned to review the procession
from the stand erected in Union
Square,
Upon that platform were, among
others, Hugh f. Pentecost, Robert
Price, coal miner Of Pennsylvania
and member of the General Executive
Board Of the Knights of Labor, and
General Worthy Foreman Richard
Griffith, veteran In the cause.
"As the procession passed by, Its

oping a new school, based on facts
and scientific investigation.
1T is a debating club. The busi--
ness Of the union, be it Of routine
character, or of a more complicated
nature, requires discussion and DELHI
Grafton. Points Of order are raised
which require careful decision. Par
liamentary skill is brought into play;
the natural abilities of the members
as debaters are brought into constant
practice The progress made in this
direction, in the course of years, is
of vital influence In the affairs Of the
nation.
1T Is a trial court. The rules of
the union require, for the manage
ment of its affairs, the enforcement
of discipline and obedience to the
laws enacted by the majority. Pun
ishment as a deterrent, in the shape
of fines, suspension and expulsion
