ALL AMERICANS NOW IN SINGLE ARMY,
SAYS WILSON IN LABOR DAY MESSAGE

tain. The army Of laborers at home
is as important, as essential, as the
army OF fighting men in the far fields
of the actual battle. And the laborer
is not only needed as much as the
soldier. 1t is his war. The soldier
is his champion and representative.
To fail to win should be to imperil
everything that the laborer has striv-
en- for and held dear since freedom
first had its dawn and his struggle
for justice began. The soldiers at the
front know this. 1t stcels then
muscles to think OF it, They are
crusaders. They are fighting for no
selfish advantage for their own ma
ton. They would despise anyone who
fought for the selfish advantage Of
any nation. They are giving their
lives that homes everywhere as well
as the homes they love in America,
may be kept sacred and safe, and men
everywhere as they insist upon being
free. They are fighting for the ideals
of their own land-great ideals, inn
mortal ideals, ideals which shalt light
the way for all men to the places
where justice is done and men live
with lifted heads, and emancipated
spirits That is the reason they fight
with solemn JOY and are invincible.
Let Us make this, therefore. a day
Omaha daily bee., 1918-09-02

on justice, and to oblige governments
to act for them and not for the pri-
vate and selfish interest Of a COVER
ming class. 1t is war to make the
nations and peoples of the world Sc
cure against every such power as the
German autocracy represents. 1t is a
war of emancipation Not until it is
won can men anywhere live free from
constant fear or breathe freely while
they 60 about their daily tasks and
know that governments are their
servants, not their masters.
This is, therefore, the war Of all
wars which labor should support and
with all its concentrated power. The
world cannot be safe, mems lives
cannot be secure, nosman's rights can
be confidently and successfully as
serted against the rule and mastery
of arbitrary groups and special inter-
ests, so long as governments like that
which, after long premeditation drew
Austria and Germany into this war
are permitted to control the destinies
and the daily fortunes OF men and ma.

Labor day this year, the second
since America entered the war, will
be largely commemorative of the part
labor is playing i'll the winning of the
war.
What labor has done and what it
will continue to do until autocracy
is doomed and universal democracy is
established, will be the inspiring
sentiment of pageant and speech dur
ing the day, and it will be symbolic
of the fact that the man who works
at forge or anvil, on lathe or at the
bench, in any capacity of useful en-
ployment, is doing his bit at home
to encourage and assist the man at
the fighting front in bearing the
brunt of battle.
In Omaha the day will be observed
on large scale and in a more solemn
spirit, because of this fact, than it
has ever before been. At least 10000
members of all of he local organiza-
tons Of union labor will appear i'll the
parade, which will start at 10 o'clock,
sharp.
On the labor program there will be
