(continued From Preceding Fage)
New Britain herald., 1925-08-26

Dates on the entry blanks state that the meet will be held on Sep tember 5, but 1t will be remembered that 1t was decided to change the date from the 9th to the 12th be- cause of the fact that the fifth is the Saturday before Labor Day.
New Britain herald., 1925-08-26

All entries for the events must be in by September g. Any of those who do not know where to file them, may make out the blanks and place them on file with the Sports editor of the Herald. The blanks should be accompanied with an en- trance fee of o5 cents.
New Britain herald., 1925-08-26

The cups for the events are being engraved at the present time and they will be ready by the end of this week or the first part of next week These will be placed on view In the B. c. Porter Sons window so that those intending to enter into the events may look them over before they sign up.
New Britain herald., 1925-08-26

The meet is attracting wider at tention than was ever expected by those behind the movement and re- quests have come in from the Berlin Construction Co. and the American Paper Goods in KenSington to allow the athletes from those factories to enter and requests have also come in from Trumbull's Electrical Mfg. Go. In Plainville and the Standard Steel & Bearings Inc. in that town for en- tries. All these factories will be al- lowed to send athletes into the meet and entry blanks may be secured at the Herald office any time.
New Britain herald., 1925-08-26

There seems to be 8 little difficul- ty with regard to the entrance fee required in the industrial meet. There is a charge of 25 cents for an entrance fee. This means simply that If a man wishes 10 go into all the events on the card, he will be required to pay 25 cents for the privilege Of entering the meet, The charge is not for every event.
New Britain herald., 1925-08-26

With the number of factories planning 10 send representatives to compete for the prizes, the meet is assured of great success.

Labor Day is purely an American
institution, born Of an American idea,
founded upon the rock Of American
liberty and celebrated by American
citizens. That is what makes Labor
Dav an occasion Of the utmost impOr-
tance in the yearly cycle of American
history. Out Of it all has come q
deeper realization of the rights Of
those who toll, broader recognition
by everyone Of what labor has done
and is doing for this great country
of ours. Labor is and must be con-
structive. It must build, not des-
troy. Labor makes all the things
that are conducive to greater pros
perity and happiness for all the peO-
pie. a.
The American worker is the best In
the world. He is more productive
and more efficient. His daily or year
ly output Is larger than that of any
This fact is proved by statistics from
other worker IN any other country,
everywhere. The American worker
is more progressive than any other.
He takes pride in advancement, in
skin and knowledge, his aim and
hope being to reach the pinnacle OF

achievement in his particular line of
endeavor.
The American worker may well
boast his high degree Of intelligence
and education, which fits him for the
realities of life. America affords him
opportunities in that direction that
are not found in any other country.
Here, in this beloved land of ours,
there are schools for eveFyone, where
man, woman or child may enjoy the
benefits Of development snd oppor-
tunity. More sons and daughters Of
workingmen are in colleges and uni
versities here in America than in any
other country on earth.
When we lay down our tools to
celebrate Labor Day each year we
shall recall ali Of these advantages
that we enjoy as American working
men. We should allow our minds to
wander over the vast domain Of labor
in America and yisaallze the wonder
full blessings Of American citizen
ship and American opportunity. Such
thoughts viii cause as to hold our
heads a little more erect and It win
make our step firrner and steadier
when we march il the ranks with
our fellows. Labor Day is. Labor's

Labor Day, 1926, Win Find
Organized Workers Gel
ebrating at Fair.
CITIZENS IMPRESSED
Year Free From Strife, and
Gains Of Peace Greater
Than War Gains.
By w. L. BRACKINREED
hvesident of Aberdeen Central Labor
" Council.

Organized labor of Aberdeen, keep
ing pace with union workers elsewhere
in the state and nation, has made
tremendous gains for the betterment
of all since Labor Day, 1924. Labor
Day, 1925, will find organized work
ers Of this city taking part in coun-
try-wide celebration at the county
fair at Elma, and hearing President
Short outline the progress made by
the State Federation in the past.
By constant work and unfailing
effort, workers Of this city have i'm
pressed upon all their fellow citizens
the necessity of demanding the inn
print of the union label when purchas-
ing goods. The year has been free
from strife, as far as we are con-
cerned, but the gains of peace have
been even greater than the gains of
war.
Building Trades, Teansters, Culi-
nary Workers and all other divisions
of labor have benefited in the past
year, increasing our purchasing power
and minimizing the labor turnover.
We have. caused the general public
to become more generally aware OF
the evils that result from dow wages
and have won praise Isnl esSry
worthy quarter because Of our con
servative yet progressive policies.
We were unsuccessful in causing
state ratification Of the child labor
law. but our failure only served to
strengthen our ranks, to attract pow
erfuI organizations to our cause and to
practically assure us that Labor Day,
1926, win see the children Of the state
free from the ruthless exploitation.
On the political side an increasing
number of citizens are accepting La
boris opposition to political partisan
ship. For years the organized work
ers pleaded against the evils Of polit-
ical partisanship, an evil now general
ly acknowledged. Only recently
United States senator referred to the
practice of standing by the party,
right or wrong" as "foolishness."
The outlook for social progress in
the coming year was never brighter,
and it is safe to assume that organ
lied workers will record marked ma
terial and intellectual advances.

origin Of LABOR DAY
AND ITS PROGRESS
THE CATHEDRAL OF ST. JOHN t
By WILLIAM GREEN

LhDOE LAY!
Lest we forget, it is well to recall
that this is the forty-fourth anniver-
sary of Labor Day. A small band of
loyal, earnest trade unionistc, in their
enthusiasm for the benefits gained by
organization, paraded in the city of
New York en- the first Morday of Sep
tember, 1882.
This was the beginning Of Labor
Day. M
In 1884 TIE convention of the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor called upon
all wage carners irrespective Of sex,
calling or nationality to observe Labor
Day until "it should be as uncommon
for man to work on Labor Day as
on Independence Day."
There is no need to tell how success
full that appeal has been. None will
deny that that condition is here.
When you return to work after eel
ebrating Labor Day it viii be with a
satisfaction that can only come from
the realization that the trade union
movement has brought a better and

A committee composed of Mrs. Fred
King and Mrs. Adria Johnson called
upon Aberdeen merchants the first
of the week, obtaining scores of union
made products. Assisted by Miss Do
ris King, Mrs. ]. H. Godfrey, Charles
olesen and Harry Gibson, the COM
mittee decorated the booth Wednes-
day afternoon, placing the products
in position, arranging the display of
union labels and beautifying the
building.
Twelve carpenters of Local No. 317
donated their services last Sunday,
finishing the construction of the build
ing. Three shinglers also donated
their services. Local painters were
willing to donate their services but
the committee did not have time to
call upon them. 1t was announced
that the structure will be painted and
decorated for next year, however.
Eleven Aberdeen merchants loaned
their products, including clothing, ci-
gars, candies, laundry goods, tobac-
Goes, brooms and shoes. Four cabi-
net concerns also are exhibiting their
union made products in the booth.
Charley Olesen took charge of the
booth yesterday morning, explaining
the need of persons insisting upon the
union made product, and calling at
tention to the fact that the finest and
most expensive as well as the most
economical products are made by un-
ion men.

Labor
There is probably more division of
thought and confusion over what may
be properly termed the rights of
labor, than any other subject now
commanding consideration by the
public. 81
A new element has been brought
into the situation. Constant aRita-
tion Of the point that the public had
an interest at stake in most labor.
employer controversies, has attracted
large portion of the public to a
deeper consideration than ever given
before of the controversies that from
time to time, between labor and en-
ployers, inevitably occur.
Employers Viewpoint
The general viewpoint of employers
as to the rights of labor might be
summoned up as follows: The en-
ployer has the right to obtain his
labor for the lowest wage that work.
men are, willing to work for, in order
that his production costs may be kept
at the lowest minimum, on the theory
that by so doing he can offer his pro-
ducts on the market at the lowest
possible price,
It is also the viewpoint of the en-
ployer that if labor is willing to ac-
cept employment at a given wage,
regardless of what that wage is, that
it Is no one else's business excepting
his, if the workmen are willing to
work for that wage.
1t is his viewpoint, as a rule, that
it is purely his business what he pays
his worlxmen and that it is a violation
of both his and the workman's right
to independence for any agency,
public or otherwise, to interfere with
that so-called God-given right.
LabOr's Viewpoint
1t is the general viewpoint of labor
that it is its right to seek the highest
wages possible for it to obtain, and
that only through united effort,
brought about by effective organiza-
tion through the trades union move
ment, can it hope to protest its i'm
terest and from ime to time promote
its welfare by increased wages, better
conditions of employment and a
shorter workday.
Only in the degree that labor is
able to accomplish this does it be-
lieve that it is living up to the spirit
of independence, and preserving it's
right to liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, that permeates the whole
fabric of the republic and only by
