The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1919-08-30
By ARVIE QUEBER.

Labor day at Superior will be
one big burst of glory if the
weather clerk comes across with
clear skies, as Jupiter Pluvius is
the only individual who will be
able to put damper on this
years celebration. The commit
tee appointed by the Trades and
Labor assembly has been working
ardently and earnestly and not
the slightest detail has been over
looked. Everything is in readi-
ness for the big celebration on
Monday and the committee feels
that this year organized labor in
that city will excel all previous
efforts.
In a nutshell the program will con-
sist of a gigantic parade in the FORE
noon; picnic in Billings Park in the
afternoon, where the principal fea-
lures will be a band concert by the City
band, an address by William E. Nc
Even and a big sports program; and
in the evening grand ball at Tower
hall.
Celebration Starts Tonight.
The celebration really starts tonight
! when the queens contest comes to a
close. A keen contest has been in

candidates are in the field:

| office.

tail Clerks union and secretary OF

and neck race. but it is expected that

with a gathering in some large assem-.
bly, room, perhaps in one of the the
