Aqucrque is TO be congratulate
ed heartily on the fine show
ing made in its Labor Day parade
this morning. and upon its pro.
gram Of patriotic observance of
the holiday this afternoon and to
night. The whole observance OF
the day is simply additional and
very convincing evidence of the
high character of the patriotism of
the tradcsmen of this city. and of
the high character of the men who
make up the various organizations.
To those who have witnessed
parades of former labor days in
Albuquerque and who are familiar
with the workers of Albuquerque
the striking feature of today :
parade was the number of holes in
the ranks. Not u single Albuqucr-
que Union but marched without u
large proportion ot us member

young men. and many older men
are gone They are in the army.
in the navy, in the ship. yards and
the munitjon factories. Scattered
all over the world are men who
marched IN the last Labor Day
parade. So the proudcs, feature
OF the day S parade was the coun;
of missing men. That was the
feeling of the men left behind 10
march men held hcrc by family
responsibilities, by age 10y physical
disability and by the necessity of
maintaining the business and IN
dustrial organization at home.
The men of Albuquerque who
follow the trades have done their
duty IN the great crisis both those
who have gone and those who re
main at home.
