Letters To The Herald

Editor FL Paso Herald:
The magnificent demonstration
given Monday by the labor unions OF
FL Paso should bring to our minds
what labor has actually done for our
beautiful city. Has anyone thought
Of that parade as other than a parade
Of the men who belong to an organ
ization9 To my mind 1t was a parade
OF home-owners. home-builders and
substantial citizens. who have. in their
modest way, done for FL Paso what
no other one class could do. / believe
there were more home-owners and
taxpayers in the Labor day parade In
FL PasO this year than in any similar
parade ever held previously.
