Origin of Labor DAY.

T. G. c., Dayton.-Labor Day is set apart
AS legal holiday by each State in the Union.
The beginning of the observance of the day by
labor dates back TO 1882. In September of that
year the knights Of Labor held their original
viewed great parade organized by the Cen
trail Labor Union of that city. The following
year the parade was held the first Monday in
September and in 1854. on the resolution OF
George K. Lloyd, of the knights OF
Labor. il was decided that all future parades
should be held on that day, and that IT should
be known as Labor Day. Workingmen's or
Eaniza tions all over the country then began
an agitation 10 induce the state legislatures
To declare the day legal holiday, and March
-; 1857; Colorado led the way to be quickly
followed by New Jersey. New York and MaSSa
chuset;s. the first Monday in September Is
now established as Labor Day.

Their onslaught ut the hands of tho Red
armies and to that end tho Polish forces
will drive as far into Russian territory as
their, strength and the Judgment of their
commanders may permit.
II seems at this distance tho part Of folly
for Poland to adopt these aggressive poll
cics. Not only does she invite new enc
mics; not only does she give Russia full and
free excuse for continuing the war indef-
nitely, but she is sacrificing the sympathy
and good will which the allied nations have
felt toward her. And she is making IL I'M
possible for these powers TO give her that
character OF moral and material support
which she might have counted upon should
another crisis arise threatening her very
existence. as happened when the Bolshevist
armies were at the door OF Warsaw.

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER %. 1929.
Sharp Issue Arises

A SHARP issue has arisen between the
"a President and Congress in the refusal
OF the former to carry out section "a of
the new merchant marine act relative to
termination Of certain commercial treaties
which restrict this country in imposing dis
eliminating import duties and tonnage
dues on foreign vessels.
Section "a OF the act directs the Presi-
dent within ninety days of the signing Of
the bill, which became law with his sig
nature June 4, TO give notice 10 the gov
ernments of all countries parties to com
mercial treaties with the United States that
the provisions of any such treaty which re-
strict this country in imposing discrimina-
tory import duties and tonnage dues
foreign vessels will be terminated. The
time for giving such notices has already
\ expired without the President having taken
sthe action directed by Congress in the sec
ton referred to, and the belief is expressed
III close administration circles that he has
no intention of doing so.
In justification OF the Presidents posi-
Il ton, ii is stated that the latter holds to the
8Niew that the full significance of this pro-
vision Of the act was not appreciated by
Congress, and that upon its reassembling in
december il Will have recognized that it
p exceeded its powers, in that Congress nos
sesses no authority to direct the chief
executive upon course to pursue i'm rela-
stion to treaty, and will modify the sec
ton to which he objects as an invasion of
executive authority.
" On the other hand. the trainers of the
bill contend that when the President at
& tached his signature TO the act with the
offending section in 1t, ii went into legal
effect with the obligation resting on him
to carry out its provis ions in full Fortu-
9nately, the act was SO framed in the indie
Spendence Of its various sections that the
invalidity Of any particular section would
not operate to nullfy the law as a whole.
8 Queen Wilhcmina told the Dutch Parlia-
Elnent yesterday that she means TO keep her
powder dry. Those who have had close
EJook at the royal nose Will not blame her.
