INDEPENDENCE DAY
| PLANS ELABORATE
Would Cost 100000 to
Stage Spectacle to Be
Given Here.

AS result Of elaborate plans which
the foreign nations have made for
taking part in the allied pageant De
mocracy Triumphant, washington IS
to have a 100000 Independence day
celebration.
This is not an estimate of what the
score or more of allied nations have
spent in preparing their parts OF the
demonstration. The figures are
based on what it would cost COM
munity working alone to stage a
spectacle on so large a scale.
Taking place on Independence day
and at the seat of government, en-
veloped in the spirit of war prepara-
tion, the pageant Is expected to have
deeper significance than the mere
presentation of a holiday program.

Presidents Proclamation.

Several weeks ago President Wilson
issued proclamation calling upon
all Americans to unite with foreign
born residents of America in cele-
brating Independence day. AS a re-
suit of this appeal. patriotic programs
are being planned in nearly every
large city in the country.
The celebration in Washington has
been planned on a scale which was
made possible only by the presence
In Washington of the war missions of
the various allied nations. AS soon as
these foreign representatives heard. of
the proposed pageant they all notified
Mrs. Marie Moore Forrest, pageant
director, that they were ready to CO.
operate in every way possible to make
the event a success.
AS result of this cooperation,
Mrs. Forrest has prepared a program
which promises to eclipse anything of
the kind ever attempted.
The French, British, Italian and Bel
gian governments have arranged to
have soldiers and sailors in Washing
ton for the parade. These, together
with approximately 1000 American
soldiers and sailors, will make the pa
fade unique and will symbolize the
forces of democracy united against
Germany.
costume. There will be approximately
seventeen bands of music, including
the noted French government band
now in this country.
In addition to this band. France will
be represented by ia sailors from
New York. There will be seventy
Polish officers in the parade in full
uniform, from New York.
Twenty-Six peoples thus far are
scheduled to take part in the pageant.
There will be separate section of
the parade for each nationality.
Each nations section will be headed
by rider on horseback, who will
typify some noted character from the
history of the country. Russia will
have a living heroine, Nine. Botch-
karova, leader of the woman's bat
talon of death, to head it's section.
As attractive as it has been made,
however. the parade is to be only one
part of the pageant. Prior to the
parade there will be twenty-six sep
arate programs staged on the lawns
between the New National Museum at
10th street and the Red Cross build
ing on 18th street.

WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IN A YEAR TO
MAKE WORLD SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY
By Condo

The war is vindicating many long
insisted claims OF organized labor,
chief among them being the value OF
a shorter workday; the effectiveness
Of the Fedei;l Department of La oor
mediation, cancellation and arbitration
in the settlement Of industrial dis
putes; collective bargaining; the right
to organize and the danger TO our
national life OF illitcracy through slim
ulated immigration.
1t is now agreed tina a shorter
w0rkday permits u man to leave his
employment wit hOut going home for
he sole purpose Of recuperati0n from
a daily grind that saps every ounce
OF his energy. The value OF the De
purtment of Labor Is best shown by
the changed altitude Of many Citizena
who formerly gmdgingly favored or
often opposed appropriations to this
important governmental function and
VINO now agree with organized labor
that its power for good In the adjust
ment Of industrial disputes Is rnllmit-
ed
Collective bargaining is being
urged by every governmental
commission and other tnvestj9at,
ors. With collective bargaining
naturally comes mediation, con
Citation and arbitration.
The right OF workers to organize
Is no longer treated as an abstract
question. The latest impetus to this
theory was given by Director General
OF Railroads McAdOO, in General Ord
er No. s, in which he prohibited dis
elimination against trade uniOnists on
the government controlled railroads
AS a result. ira nspOrtatiOn systems
