Next Monday will be Labor Day
so perhaps this little article which is
copied from the Book of knowledge
may be of some interest to our read
ers:
The first Monday in September is
generally observed all over the United
States and Canada as Labor's Holt
day." Then the great army of work
ers, rich and poor alike, all over
the country, put aside their tasks for
a day Of rest and pleasure.
Labor Day was made a holiday in
the District of Columbia by Con-
gress in 1894 and is a holiday in
the same n as Washington's
Birthday Or the Fourth of July. But
SO far as the cessation of ordinary
business is concerned the signing
and falling due Of notes, the law
fulness of customary transactions
and SO forth, Congress has no power
to create a holiday in the states.
The congressional bill makes Labor
Day a legal public holiday in the
District. of Columbia and requires the
closing of all Federal offices
throughout the United States.
The local Union of Hanna will
hold its usual Labor Day celebration
starting with a dance Saturday eve
ming Sept. 5th at the opera house

ing the music. Sunday two baseball
games will cause a great deal of fun
for everyone. Then Monday the
grand parade will start at 9 a.. m.
from the Union Hall. All union
men are invited to march in this
parade. The parade will proceed to
the ball park where the usual sports
sue as foot races, jumping and
other outdoor athletic contests will
be held.
