WHY not appoint the Twenty
fifth Annual Labor Day Celebra
ton committee now +? The unions
affiliated with the central body
should inform the council at the
next meeting whether they are 60
ing TO unite with the council in
making the celebration the largest
and best ever held In Hamilton.
There should be no break in the
ranks this year as there was last
year. There should be no union
voting to not march in the Labor
Day parade, and there should be
no union men and their families
neglecting to attend the outing.
Now is the time to find out what
unions and their members are going
to be loyal to the cause. If some
of them are going to hedge we
should know 1t now and not a few
