b|C LABOR DAY
 CELEBRATIONS
 bE|NGARRANGED

Next Monday is Labor day, and it is to be fittingly celebrated by the work CTS of the city. The affair is to be in charge of the Phoenix Trades Council. A committee of that organization has been working for some time to make it q grand success. After looking over the program that has been arranged it will be unnecessary for the citizens of Phoenix to look further for amuse- ments for the day
 To start the day, a parade will be staged at I o'clock. The committee says that II o'clock means II o'clock and that there will be no waiting in line. Although it will be impossible to have all the laboring people of the city in line, it is thought that all the organ lzations will be fairly represented. All labor bodies and individuals affiliated with such are invited to participate. Several of the locals are now busily engaged fitting up tasty floats.
 Immediately following the parade all will depart for Riverside, where a basket picnic will take place. At , o'clock the afternoons program will commence, and there will be something doing for all from then until the clos ing of the park late at night. Running races, tug of war, Jumping. swimming races, high diving, etc, will occupy the attention Of the merrymakers' for two hours. Thrift stamps are to be given as prizes for these events. Then will come a display of daylight fireworks. band concert by the Pioneer band, speaking and dancing. The days ac- tlvlties will close with a large display of night fireworks
 Plan Big Entertainment The Trades Council and Ray Bran don, manager of Riverside are work ing to have the celebration at the park the biggest event in it's history. Brandon says that the daylight and night fireworks that he aud the labor ites have selected will far excel the display put on at the park on the fourth of July. And he says the man &gement Is making preparations for a record breaking crowd on next Mon day. Despite the extensive program arranser for, there will be no advanct III the admission price to the palk.
 The local unionists have been for tunate in having secured MT. Joseph Lord as the orator of the day. Mr. Lord is one of a score of speakers that the United States department of labor has touring the country at the present time. It is the desire of the government to establish more friendly relations between capital and labor Thus MT Lords message will be of equal interest to the employer and the employe.
 It Is the intention of the department or labor to have Mir. Lord made ad dresses in other cities of the state. and 10 visit the workers and the larger en- pioyers, especially in the mining com munities.
