N0LAB0R RALLY;
MONEY TO STRIKERS

No Labor Day celebration Will be
staged by the several unions OF the
city aniliated with the Central Labor
Union this year. The amount spent
for such demonstration in former
years has been close to 5000 by each
organization and the various unions,
have decided this year TO donate TO
the striking railroad shopmen's fund
the money they usually spend for a
Labor Day celebration.
Frank Morrison. secretary OF tbs
American Federation OF Labor has
called on workingmen throughout
the country to celebrate Labor Day
on September 4. Secretary Morrison
pointed out that Labor Day, 1922.
would be the most significant In the
history OF the American trade union
movement.
The reason, Il is stated, is that
the workers are confronted with
more adverse court decisions and by
a stronger combination than ever
