pointed out, difficulties will be en-
c0untered BY the lack OF space on

Colonel Bell believes that the

Samuel Compers' First Labor Day Editorial

(The following was the first
editorial on Labor Day written
by Sampel Gompers after con-
gress made the day legal holi-
day, on June 20, 1894. The edi-
torial appeared in the American
Federationist of Septmber, 1894.)
In the cycle of time we are again
on the dawn of our most important
national holiday-Labor Day. Most
important, since it for the first time
in the history of the world devotes a
day to the recognition of the fact that
, the wage earners must hereafter be
regarded as the important factor in
the economy of life. In this day, when
so many look upon the dark side of
the progress of the labor movement
and predict worse things in store for
the laborer, it is not amiss to direct
attention to the fact that the life Of
the human family is one vast struggle,
and that though the progress is not
as swift as we, as well as our impa-
tient brothers and sisters of labor,
would like it to be, yet the fact that
in our decade we can see the rights
of labor more clearly defined, the
vantage ground obtained, and obtain
ing a clearer insight into existing
wrongs, the more intelligent percep-
tion and determination to achieve la
or's rights.
The past year has witnessed sew
eral contests, some of them defeats,
but though defeated in the immediate
object sought, they have awakened a
new conscience in the American peo-
pie, and will contribute more to the
thorough organization of the wage
workers of our country than hundreds
of meetings, speeches or pamphlets.
The greatest conquering armies in the
history of the world have had their
reverses, and the labor movement
can not expect to be an exception to
that rule. Each defeat acts as tren-
chant warning to the toilers of Amer
lea that error must be avoided, that
intelligence must prevail, and that no
success can come to them unless it is
through their own efforts and their
own organization, and by their per-
sistency manifested
Pessimism results in indifference,

lethargy and impotency, and this in
turn simply permits the corporations
and trusts and the entire capitalist
class to fitch from the toiler their
rights which have been dearly bought.
The organizations of labor must be
thorough and complete, and above all
must be permanent. Those organiza-
tions which arise like a flash in the
pan only go to show how arduous is
the struggle before the toiler, in order
to overcome the antagonism of the
wealth-producing classes of our
country.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-09-03

Today more than ever the toilers
recognize how essentially they are
thrown upon their own resources; that
they have few if any outside their own
ranks who sympathize with them in
their effort for the emancipation of
mankind.
Toilers, organize. Let us carry on
the good work and in a few more
revolutions of the earth upon it's axis
we shall have better world--a better
mankind. Waiting will not accom-
plish it; deferring till another time
will not secure it. Now is the time
for the workers of America to come
to the standard of their unions and
to organize as thoroughly, completely
and compactly as is possible. lie.

PHOENIX-A total of 80 stills,
316 gallons of spirits, $500 gallons
of mash and an automobile were

in Arizona during March, accord
ing to the official report of Frank
M. Pool, deputy prohibition admin
istrator in charge of the enforce
ment of the national prohibition
laws in Arizona.

tai of 101 arrests were made dur
ing the month, $18,468 in fines were
assessed against violators by the

MUCH INTEREST
In HOLBROOK OIL
SHOWINGS, SAID

There is much interest being
shown, both among local citizens
as we'll as outsiders who have
come into the district, in the re-
cent oil and gas indications en-
countered in the Adamana well 21
miles south of Holbrook, according
to Wnislow people who have been
in the county seat during the week
According to the reports receiv-
ed here additional showings of gas
and oil appeared during the latter
part of last week, when DR.. E. F.
Green in charge of operations re-
ported that the drillers had re-
ported to him that additional gas
showings had appeared in the well
during drilling operations which
are being conducted in an effort
to sidetrack the oil casing which
was lost during cementing opera
tiOns last year.
Visitors report that the drillers
and Manager Green and associates
are highly elated over the showings
encountered and drilling has been
resumed in an effort to get down
to the former depth reached before
the string of casing was lost
through the faulty cement job.
The Taylor-Fuller we'll, further
west is still drilling after numer-
Gus swabbing tests at around 1850
feet, and they too have had en-
couraging tests although located
higher up on the structure.

TICKET SALES
FOR CHAUTAUQUA
ARE TAGGING

A special effort is being made
during the last few days before
Chautauqua opens in Winslow to-
morrow for a five-day's program
here, to promote the sale of season
tickets for both adults and chill
dren, and up to the time of going
to press, ticket sales were still
considerably behind the anticipa-
ton of the guarantors committee,
according to Sam Proctor, chairman
of the committee.
Despite the fact that ticket sales
have fallen short of expectations,
the committee hopes that by the
time Saturday afternoon rolls
around sales will have been stimu
lated enough to have reached the
desired quota. The committee rea-
Lies that although there will be
considerable paid at the door tick
ct sales, the sale of season tickets
is necessary in order to insure the
financial success of the Chautau-
one of the best programs on the

ter amending the present charter
under which all desired ordinances
at present existing, which are
operative will be retained and
others imperative and obsolete
will automatically be repealed.
This board of freeholders are
required to draught the proposed
new charter within 90 days after
their election, and the charter is
then Immediately submitted to the
taxpayers of the district at
special election for adoption or
rejection If adopted the charter
is then sent to the governor of
the state for approval and if ap-
proved is returned and becomes
law after it is recorded.
Once this is done within the
period required by law Winslow
will then be operating under
modern and up-to-date city plan,
calling for no more expense than
at present is the case under the
town form of government, but
broadening the police powers of
the city officials, making the adj
ministration of the city affairs a
simple operation when it is now a
complicated matter, due to the
fact that the charter and ordin-
ances are so obsolete and unen-
forcable that every time an action
is taken by the city governing
body it means practically a vio-
lation of law and irregularity in
proceeding.
While the movement is spons-
cred by the present mayor and
city council and officials it will
be up for the approval of the
people before such change can
be made.
Mayor Fred Douglas, backed by
the members of the council have
all expressed themselves as highly
in favor of the move. which it has
been impressed upon them time
and time again, they say, during
their administration, is so sorely
needed.
Members of the present govern
ing body are plain in their state
ments backing their movement
that they do not care whether re-
elected or not and in fact a num-
Der of them will not be candidates
they will do all in their power to
promote the change in an effort
to put Winslow in position to
govern herself without so much
unnecessary red tape, TECHNICAL
ties and hindrances as they have
encountered during their admins
tration.
