worked a farm for some years. He
was born in Germany. His wife
passed on before him some fourteen
years ago, and since that he has been
living with his son, Anton, and his
wife. He is survived by the follow
ing children Anton, Walter and
John Buzinski, all of Wausau; Mrs.
VIM. Prahl and Mrs. Edward Kluche,
both of this city; Frank Buzinski.
Rothschild; Mrs. Bertha Tubbs, Mrs.
Herb. Johnson and Mary BuZinski,

plans now made, will take place Fri
day at 9 a. m, the Rev. Err. Wojak, of
ST. Michael's church, conducting the
funeral services.

ANNUAL LABOR DAY
PROGRAM
PARADE OF UNION MEN TO
FAIR GROUNDS FOLLOWS
BAND CONCERTS

Labor Day was observed in Wau-
sau on Monday, much the same as
usual. Places of business in general
closed either for all day or at noon.
and during the morning hundreds of
people crowded the downtown streets.
During the later part of the forenoon,
the Tenth Infantry Band, gave a con-
cert at the court house square. The
organization as always, attracted a
large audience which appreciated its
we'll selected pieces. Following the
music, the parade was formed and
the union men participating proceeded
to the fair grounds where an all day
picnic was enjoyed.
Music and Fun
The day was ideal. Early in the
morning the cold was piercing for
September, but the sun caused it to
become warm by noon. Many families
were in evidence at the grounds.
Throughout the afternoon music was
enjoyed and games were provided for
the little tots. The annual labor day
speech was delivered by Dan White,
former Socialist candidate for COVER
nor of Massachusetts,.
About two hundred union men par
ticipated in the mornings parade.
One of its unusual features was the
Sacko Trio, carrying a large adver-
tisement for the dance to be given in
the near future by the Central Labor
body of Wausau. String instruments
made possible harmonious music that
drew forth an exhibition of approval
along the way-and the black faces
and red lips caused a ripple of laugh
ter each time the trio passed.
The Tenth Infantry Band, marching
first, was followed by the mail car
riers, painters, carpenters, cigar MAX
ers, bricklayers and masons, loco
motive engineers, BARRIERS, plumbers
and steam filters, sheet metal work
ers, retail clerks, bakers, brewery
men, railway clerks and workers.
