GOVERNOR URGES DEM0CRAC
 IF LABOR

A plea to bury the war hatchet in Arizona labor circles in order that every straw be removed from the path for fulfillment of American as- tpirations for worldwide democracy is made by Governor Thomas B. Campbell today in Labor Day pro- clamation, setting aside Monday, Sep- tember 3, as legal holiday in this state.
 Declaring this the most critical hour in the history of the United States and the civilized world, the governor declares that the hopes and fears of humanity center inevitably upon the attitude of the forces of labor toward the achievement of that highest standard of efficiency, with out which victory is impossible.
 Labor Day therefore affords a most fitting and timely opportunity to take stock of the resources of brain and hand, to consider unselfishly how best we can substantially evil dence our unfailing support to those who will, at that verytime be mo- bilized to do battle for those princi- ples of liberty, equality and fratern- lty which have blessed American labor and borne it upward to it's pres- ent mighty status, he declraes. Arizona's responsibility to do her part in the present exigency lies equally upon every member of our 1 citizenship, he asserts, and urges that all differences upon which 60 vitally depends the success of the conflict. be buried and that every nerve and sinew. without thought of self, profit or propaganda shall be strained until victory shall have been | won
 The proclamation is as follows: Following the custom which sets aside the first Monday of each Sep. tember, as day upon which Labor may be commemorated by means | or parades. meetings, festivals and other manifestations of respect and honor to it's dignity and accom- plish- ments for the benefit and advance ment of mankind:
 I, Thomas E. Campbell, Governor of Arizona, under the authority in me. thus reposed, do hereby declare and proclaim as legal holiday, Mon. day, September the thirG nineteen seventeen, to be duly celebrated as aforetime.
 In this most critical hour in the history of the United States and the civilized world, the hopes and fears Of humanity center inevitably upon the attitude of the forces of labor toward the achievements of that high est standard of efficiency, without which Victory is impossible Therefore, this Day affords a most fitting and timely opportunity to ] take stock of the resources of brain and hand, to consider unselfishly i how best we can substantially evi- dence our unfailing support to those who will, at that very time, be mo- biiized to do battle for those princi- i pies of liberty, equality and fraternity which have blessed American Labor and borne it upward to it's present mighty status.
