Not far from where the reporter is

the proprietress. She is also a Russian

TRIBUTE
BY LEGION MAN
Principles AUoIUed by
Vice Commander.

tribute to labor and an avowal
that the meaning of Labor day finds
a response also in the hearts of the
American Legion" was issued today
by J. G. Sorugham, National vice
commander of the American Legion.
The message is as follows:
Labor day has come TO be recog
nized as one of the great anniversaries
of the American people. Its growth
in importance has been a gauge Of
the growth of the recognition Of the
dignity Of labor in this country and
in the world; q tremendous growth
in recent years.
Primarily a day set aside for the
men and women who labor, its mean
ing hnds response also in the hearts
Of members Of the American Legion.
Members of tho legion are devoted by
their declaration of principle to the
protection and advancement Of the
welfare Of the country. This vel
fare, embracing the supremacy Of law
and the preservation of popular gov
ernment may best be attained in the
just recognition by all Americans OF
the essential rights and privileges OF
labor.
Tomorrow is the joint anniversary
of the battle Of the Msrne and the
birthday Of Lafayette. The inspira-
tion Of these events and of Labor day,
coming so close together. affords US
all a lesson In the distinction Of
service-personal service TO country,
ideals and daily duty"
