 ADDRESS OF DAY
Gcyernor.Elect BrOugh Detained in Maine, Where He Is Campaigning for National Tjcket-Winners in
 Queens Contest Get Prizes.

Labor Day has come and gone, and inc Pine Bluff Central Taades coun- cil is confident this morning that it has pulled off the biggest Labor Day celebration ever staged in Arkansas.
 There were two little showers dur ing the day, but they did virtually no harm. The one big disappointment was the absence of Dr. c. H. Brough, goyernor-elect, who had accepted an invitation to make the principal ad dress, but who could not get here, because he is helping the Democrats carry Maine in the approaching cleo tion. Labor Commissioner J. c. Clary and his assistant, I. F. Mckinley, were here from Little Rock as spe- cial guests of the trades council, and Mr. Clary consented to make the ad- dress, which was heard by big crowd of enthusiastic labor folk and their ladies.
 The big street parade, in the fore noon, formally opened the ce9ebra- lion and was one of the principal fea lures of the days program. Just as it had been planned, it was carried out, and the organized workers made a fine showing. The parade moved from Main and Barraqu about 10:3O o'clock, and completed it's movement at 12:30. It moved as far south as Fifteenth. and was turning west on that ave- nue before the rear guard left the starting point.
 The delay in starting the parade| was caused by the desire to await the arrival of three speci al trains, onel from Little Rock, one from Hot Springs and one from Camden, each with a crowd of celebrationists, and all of which arrived between 10 an 1O:3O Hot Springs and Little Rock each brought band. and these par ticipated in the parade.
 Clary Makes Address.
 The speaking at Main and Fiji teenth, was held in the afternoon. President w. B. Hicks of the central trades council, extended an address of welcome in behalf of that body. w. D. Jackson, chairman of the legis- lative board of the trainmen, acting in behalf of Mayor Simon Bloom, un- avcidably detained on other business, extended the welcome for the city, and gave the visitors the key to the city, said key being a monster piece of solid oak, carved in excellent style into the key shape. MT. Clary's talk was followed by the formal presenta- ton of the prizes won by the ladies in the queen contest, Miss Mildred Goshorn, queen, getting the Chevro- let automobile. Miss Josephine Kalk- brenner getting the second prize, a diamond ring. and Miss Ethyl Wal lace getting the third prize, brace let watch.
 Dancing at Geisreiter's park, g baseball game at Athletic field and the carnival shows at Main and Mar tin, furnished entertainment during the afternoon and evening, and the crowds apparently had plenty of fun and amusement. Most of the visitors had departed by midnight last night altho hundreds of farmers and their families, from points close to the city, spent last night here.
 Feature of Parade.
 A feature of the street parade which won considerable applause was the handsome float of the Women's Aux Hilary of the Machinists' union. rms was the only labor auxiliary to par ticipate in the parade, and the float which bore a large delegation of the members, was handsome structure of purple and white, with blue, cloud-like canopy, held with invlslble cords. Mrs. Cliff Bumpass, riding horseback, acted as captain for the organization, and R. o. Crook acted as captain for the Machinists, who had a float representing an immense pair of calipers.
