The joint committee of Mandan and
Bismarck Central Labor Unions held
meeting on Sunday, July 10, in the
Moose hall at Mandan, and discussed
plans for the Labor Day celebration
which will undoubtedly be the most
widely attended of any celebration of
that holiday ever held in the state.
The committee appointed to secure
grounds for the celebration reported
that they had procured the fair
grounds from the fair association and
the Mandan Commercial club. The
management of the Mandan baseball
team which had lease of the grounds
for the season, generously waived
their claims for that day, and the sec
retary of the Commercial club, Mr..
Sullivan, pledged the support of the
club to the committee to make the day
memorable one in the history Of that
city.
