tacle, embodying the wilmington Idea
for a Better Understanding" OF repre-
sentatives of business and labor circles
marching together in one parade IN one
common cause. David Snellenburg' s
idea of having a Joint capital ana
labor paraden proved TO be the most sue
cessfui Labor Day celebration ever held
here and il is agreed that IT has done
more to promote a better understand ne'
tween tho business aud laboring classes
OF the city that possibly anything else
could buVe done. Thousands Of the
marchers in the line carried the DO II
for Wilmington" umbrellas, and 1t would
have been hard to find a better means OF
advertising the city, especially as l'OOO
feet of motion picture film was taken oil
the parade and will be sent broadcast
about the country. Wilmington WIN
thus be advertised better than ever be-
fore in her history.

o'clock. starting at Third and French
streets. and proceeding up Market street
To Delaware avenue TO Pennsylvania
avenue to the Fair grounds. in step with
the lively music of numerous bands'
of representative Delawareans.
A number of handsome prizes were
awarded TO the union labor divisions M
the parade by a committee OF Judges
comprising representatives OF the three
daily newspapers. Only union men were
eligible to the prizes, otherwise the
Loval Order of Moose would have recelN-
ed the prize for the largest number OF
men in line. as they had by far the larg-
est membership in the parade.
