rest of us and, addressing Richard
Grifith In particular, exclaimed:
This is Labor day, Uncle Dacklf
Labor day now and hereafter!
"That moment have always consid-
erred to be the instant when Labor
day was born. The incident, trivial
in itself was the nucleus OF many a
conference. Each of us worked TO the
end of having particular day set
apart by law devoted to the consider
alton and interests of the labor1ns
classes, and in time that end was
achieved. I, myself. as head OF the
order, wrote to every lodge In the
Union. pushing the idea of Labor
day"
But 1t was not achieved Immediate
". Each year more and more lodges
In more and more cities Of the coun-
try fell into line with the suggestion
and set apart a day. There was no ac-
ton taken by the states. Indeed, the
movement for a Labor day mad
reached continent-wide proportions be
fore it was even preached, with any
result, in the legislatures of the va
rious states.
TypieaIIy American Idea
But the genius of the American peo-
pie was behind the idea. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, greatest of genial phil
osophers, in speaking of the Unborn
desire of the American people to per-
petuate some idea that is dear to them
by the dedication of a special day to
it, says somewhere that If party OF
Americans were shipwrecked upon @
desert island the first thing they
would do would be to hold a meeting
and organize. Their proceedings they
would then ratify in a formal banquet,
even though they Toasted on nothing
but raw crawfish, and they would con-
clude the whole thing by setting apart
that day as hereafter to be annually
kept holy in memory of their adven-
| ture.
And so, in keeping with this Ameri-
can spirit, the leaders of labor, backed
by their followers, more and more
spread the propaganda of Labor day:
each year they held their day holy
demonstrating the faith that was in
them by a parade of all the crafts

GERMANS DRAG GUNS
OVER THEIR OWN DEAD

Bondon.-The correspondent of the
Daily Mail describes a visit among the
French who were wounded in the bat
ties of the Vosges and have been
brought to Vichy. where the hotels
have been transformed into hospitals.
A wounded artilleryman contributed
the following experience:
Il witnessed one horrible scene. The
Germans were shooting from the deep
trenches among which our artillery
was doing terrible work. But as fast
as a German dropped a fresh man
took his place until bodies of the Ger
mans were on level with the surface
of the earthworks

was ordered to advance. The heavy
wheels sank in lie trench, but the
drivers furiously dashed their horses

We were deep IN deliberations on
that day. well remember, for the
cause Of labor. before that time an
infant In swaddling clothes, was begin

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 +. Pentecost, Robert
Price, a 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.

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.
True. there had been labor unions
in the United States before that and
they had paraded In their organized
form. In 1897 and in the three years
following the labor societies of New
York paraded In the procession of the
Fourth Of July, and on various oc-
casions after that they turned out in
strength.
But, as far as can be learned, this
parade, Sept. 5, 1882, was the first
time that the labor unions set aside
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.
Time Was AuspIcIous.
It was on the occasion of the an
nual meeting of the Knights of Labor,
which was held there that year. This
founded about fifteen years before by
some striking garment workers of
Philadelphia. It was born at a time
when the laboring man was beginning
to do a good deal of hard thinking for
himself and wonder quite q 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, filled
with those doubts throve amain. Al
their head was Terence ". Powderly
now occupying a responsible position
in the new Department of Commerce
1T 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, ut had many fathers

In Honor Of Knights of Labor.
AT that time the Knights of Labor
of which I was grand master work
man. were holding their annual con
yention in that city. The labor unions
Of New York determined to give /
demonstration in our honor, and so
on the afternoon of the day mentioned
they paraded to the number of severa

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, a bin
was introduced in the legislature of
New York state, providing for the set
ting aside, as a 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 IL
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 81, thus writing her
name at the head of the states in
adopting the movement as a formal
state measure. 1t 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 a day the others followed
with more or less alacrity It should
be said, in justice to these latter
states, that their delay in passing q
measure which, it was then clear to
the world. was desired by a 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 a matter
of great urgency. The other, that, an
the day had become, by common con-
sent of the people throughout tha.
country. day of holiday, any ratifica4
ton OF such adoption by the peo9lss
was q matter of pure formalfty. AZ
deed, probably one-half the people IN
the United States do not know when
their particular state adopted Labor
day as = legal holiday
Il was much like the case of Deco

OF the people In the South, where
most OF the graves of the Civil war
were dug. crystafiixed upon a certain
time In the early summer to honor
the memory of the dead by decoration

and Union dead. In the course OF
years certain day was formally
adopted by law by the various states:
but few people can recall when their
particular state passed such a law.

cally the whole fleet withdrew, many
of the steam trawlers returning to the
ports OF Havre and Brest. The chief
reason for their recall is that France

Many Houses In Flames.
They found many houses smoIdering

One German officer was shot while

German Losses Enormous.
An idea of the enormous losses of
the Germans in the great battle in

THE French guns were hurting a
hurricane Of steel and flame into the

forward with their battle shouts on
their lips. Straight into that pit of
destruction rushed the advancing
troops. Men fell, on every hand. It
seemed that whole platoons melted
away.
"Over the bodies Of the dead and
wounded pushed the rear ranks of
the invading army, rushing with fixed
bayonets upon the smoking muzzles
Of the French artillery. It was a SUI
