Please tell me something about La
Dor day, the origin of it, etc.
Labor day is day set apart as a
legal holiday in every state in the
Union. In 1882 the Knights of Labor
held their original assembly in New
York in the month of September, which
on the 9TH reviewed a great parade or
ganized by the Central Labor union of
that city. The next year the parade
was held the first Monday in Septem-
Der, and, in 1884, on the resolution of
George R. Lloyd, one of the Knights
of Labor, it was decided that all future
parades should be held on that day,
and that the day should be known as
Aabor day. Workingmep's organiza-
lions all over the country then began
an agitation to induce the state legis-
latures to declare the day legal holf-
day, and on March 10, 1887, Colorado
led the way, to be quickly followed by
New Jersey, New York and Massachu-
sets. The first Monday in September
is now established as Labor day.
Please give an outline of the govern
ment of Canada and names of the prov
inces composing it.
The official title Of Canada is the
Dominion of Canada. 1t embraces
eleven provinces-viz: Alberta, British
Columbia Manitoba, New Brunswick,
Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward
Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan. North
west Territories and Yukon Territory.
The government is federal, centered at
Ottawa, the capital of the Dominion,
while each Of the provinces, like our
states, has its local Legislature and cap
ital. The head Of the federM govern
ment is a governor general, appointed
by the king of Great Britain and hold
ing office for five years. Each prov
ince has lieutenant governor, appoint
ed by the federal government for
term of five years.

Fargo coal dealers, who at a meet

Of a petition among North Dakota
dealers asking the national council
of defense to take steps to compel
shipment Of coal from the eastern
mines to the head of the lakes, will

at Cleveland, o., Saturday, before
taking further action, it was stated
today by II. T. Alsop, of Fargo, who
called the recent conference here.
The Cleveland conference was ar
ranged through the efforts of Sem
ators Knute Nelson and Frank B.
Kellogg Of Minnesota, and Judge ].
H. MCGEE, of. the Minnesota state
safety commission, who went before
the council with figures to show that
the northwest was being neglected in
the distribution of coal, and that ac-
ton would have to be taken inmedi-
ately to insure the northwest from
a coal famine the coming winter.
The probable result Of the confer
ence will be the issuance of prepara-

riers and railroads, to take coal to

at Duluth and Superior docks, though
not in quantities sufficient to es-
tablish a surplus for winter when
boats will be out of commission.

Situation Better.
For several weeks preceding the
meeting last Monday little coal ar
rived in Fargo and Moorhead, but
during the past few days each deal
err has been successful in getting
several cars through, enough to
supply the immediate local demand.
Fargo householders are ordering
their supplies early, the dealers say,
and advance orders total several
thousand tons, an amount not yet
available. The dealers expect that
the loading up" PROFESS will be
more than ever in vogue this fall
and that vast tonnage will be re-
quired to supply the demand.
