The Labor Day message follows 2
Labor Day, 1916, brings TO the workers
Of America the right to cheer and con-
fdence in the trade union movement
There have been tests and crises that
have proved its fundamental principles;
there have been opportunities that have
tested It's practical efficiency. Through
them all the trade union movement has
made sure progress and gained in conf
dent vision for the future.
Every national and international, every
local union affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor has made definite
progress in securing for its members
greater advantages in those things which
are fundamental Of betterment in all re-
lations OF life. In some organizations
the success has been phenomenal.
Taking the labor movement as a
whole there has been greater progress
in securing the eight-hour day or the
shorter workday than in any other SINH
lar period of time. The meaning Of these
victories can be interpreted only in the
light OF full understanding OF the mean
ing OF the eight-hour day. The shorter
workday is something more than an
economic demand. 1t is a demand for op-
portunity for rest recuperation. and de-
velopment; things which make life more
than mechanical drudgery.
The workers whose whole periods
are short are essentially different from

Cured the thirteenth annual reunion
of the Forsythe family, lineal descend
ants Of John and Mary Forsythe, who
came to American in the year 1874
whose descendants now number sew
eral hundred persons and are scatter
ed UP and down the breadth of this
land.
For several days the relatives began
to assemble at the home of Mrs. Jen
ME Proctor, the appointed place fol
this gathering. By trains from the
automobiles they came in great mum
bers. 4
After. loving greetings, warm hand
clasps and notaa little conversation
shortly after the noon hour, they were
assembled under the large tent erect
ed for that purpose on Mrs. Proctor's
lawn. Here they partook of most
bounteous dinner, more than one hun
dred and twenty being served at the
table. Many have been added to theil
numbers by marriage and birth and
some have been called from their
midst by death. H.,
After dinner was over they wer-
called together for a short time to a.
tend to the business part of the days
program. J. c.. .Forsythe, vice-presi'
dent, acting as president in the alb
sence of Archibald Forsythe of Oska
loosa, who was last year elected as
president for the remainer Of his life
and who, with his wife, are the only
living representatives of the second
generation of this family, Mrs. J. T
Forsythe as secretary. Letters OF
greeting were read by the secretary
from Miss Nell Forsythe of Tacoma
Wash; Miss Alice Parker of Seattle
Wash, and from Mr. and Mrs. Eel
Cook Of Regina, Canada. After short
address by Rev. r. G. Chambers Off
GERS for the ensuing year were elected
Mrs. George Washington of Kirkville

treasurer. The place of the next an
nual meeting was decided to be at thu
home of Miss Villa Forsythe, Oska
loosa, on August IS, 1917. ..
Two of the very pleasant feature!
of the day were: First, the presence
and exhibition of family tree of thu
Forsythe family, constructed for the
association by Miss Gladys Corbett, ar
artist of promise and ability. This
work was last year placed in the
hands of committee, ]. T.. Forsytht
of Ottumwa, Miss Viola Forsythe O.
Oskaloosa and Mrs. William Forsythe
of Griswold. They are all justly prout
Of this tree on which there are more
than five hundred names of the liv
ing and dead of the family and which
will serve as record for reference.
The other object of interest intro
duced was the enlarged picture of the
maternal head of this great family
| Mary Mckinley Forsythe.
1t was presented to Archibald For
| sythe, her only living son, by one o.
the next generation who was thought
full enough to remember to extend this
courtesy to the only representative OF
