the date that most of the contracts
between employers and union en-

speaker for the American Federation
of labor, and Timothy Healy. presi-
dent of the International Brotherhood

optimistic statements, they said, on the
fact that there are nc labor troubles
of consequence in the east, and that
the large army of unemployed a few
weeks ago has been reduced to a min
imum by the opening of much new
work.
In New York city the day was sig
nalized by an unusually large humble
of parades and demonstrations by So
~ciaIists and their allied trade unions
as international day.
These parades in Manhattan, Brook
lyn and the Bronx found thousands of
garment workers in line and each ended
with mass meetings at which the
speakers discussed the e%ight-hour law
and demanded better working condi~
tons for factory employees.
