Pile banner of the painters local Of
Passale and the red banner Of the city
carpenters shone bright In the after
noon sun as the old line A. F. Of /.
trades led the line Of march In the
great demonstration that welcomed
the WOODEN strikers into the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
Behind the building tradesmen, six
and eight abreast, marched the strik-
ers in formation that stretched from
Main avenue. by the railroad station,
in the center Of town to mile and a
half out in the aristocratic outskirts
where julius Forstmann Of the big
wooden company that bears his name
lives.
The boom Of drums and the shrill
music Of the brass instruments kept
time with the feet of the marchers
as they sang their songs of solidarity
and hope.
Others Join Labor.
1t was a gala day parade that took
in not only the entire labor move
ment but the Associated Societies and
Parishes, the big Slavish Catholic or
ganization grouping of Passaic; and a
host Of friendly organizations from
other New Jersey towns and New
York.
Flags and bands and the mighty
throng at last came to a standing rest
in First Ward Park where the people
overlooked over acres Of ground. And
here they were addressed for the
first time by Thomas F. Mcmahon,
president Of the United Textile Work
ers Union whose membership has
nearly doubled with the addition of
the humming big local union No. 1903
that the united front committee that
had been conducting the strike for its
first eight months turned over to the

The spirit Of the audience was
caught by the chairman, Edward F.
McGrady, formerly legislative agent o:
the Massachusetts A. F. of L. as he
called for that rousing workers song,
Solidarity Forever" Charles Walsh,
secretary of the Passaic central labor
union, got applause as he promised
that the rest of the local A. F. of L.
and the strikers would be as one in
the fight. Helen Todd. and Mrs.
Cushing, president of the Consumers
League of New Jersey, applauded the
strikers for the wonderful solidarity
they had shown and Louis F. Budenx,
editor of Labor Age, exhorted them
to continue the fight till the company
union in the wooden mills was buried

Rrookwood Labor College, told of the
fight of 1919 and said unionism must
not be allowed to die. Alfred Wagon

IL has often been remarked that the first year of councimanic service is wasted in a great measure be- cause officials fail to sense the im- portance of active work on council committees. but such has not been the case with Councilman Lucian Macora of the fifth ward.
 Macora, one of the most youthful members Of the municipal family, is a member of the claims and license committees and is regarded one Of the most active of the minority rep rcsentatives.
 He was elected to the council last April, having had no opposition for the democratic nomination in inc fifth ward. Councilman Macora is associated with his father in hust- ness on Washington street.

PITTSBURGH TEAM HONORS TOM LYNCH
Judge William F. Hangan Eulo-
 giZes the King of Umpires"

The memory Of Thomas J. Lynch. former National Baseball League president and umpire. was siEnally honorod yesterday forenoon at his grave in Fairview cemetery when the members of the Pittsburgh Na- tional team. champions of the world, visited the last resting place Of one Of the biggest figures the national game has known, and placed q mag niticent big wreath on Mr. Lynch's grave and q bouquet of flowers on that of Mrs. Lynch.
 The team arrived in this city l shortly before noon to be greeted at City Hall by Mayor Gardner C. Weld and several hundreds Of people. in cluding members of the reception committee, and after a few minutes the procession wended it's way, pre- ceded by Motorcycle Policemen Will 1 liam Strolls and William Hayes, to Fairyiew cemetery and the Lynch i plot there.
 Arriving at the Lynch plot. Mayor ! Weld handed the wreath to Man ! ager William McKochnie of the Pittsburgh team and he placed it on
 Mr. Lynch's grave. He then placed
 the floral piece on Mrs. Lynch's grave while bare-headed crowd of
 spectators numbering about 2o0 looked on and motion picture cameras took pictures.
 Following this. Judge William F.
 Maugan delivered q eulogy on the former baseball league head, and his eloquence brought tears to the eyes Of many assembled al the grave.
 Judge Mangan opened his address
 by referring to the fact that the worlds champions had come from Pittsburgh to New Britain to pay their respects 10 the memory Of a man who gave the most Of his life to baseball
 He referred to.the important part baseball has in the life of America, and how many people are interested in the national game. Tt makes OUT young men clean minded. sound in body and believers in true sports l manship. II gives them good ath- ! letic training and this training ! meant lot to the boys in the late war when they went up against ! trained men,"
 The success Of baseball is due 10 the fact that everyone knows it is honest. The American people are jealous Of the honesty Of baseball !. and insist that it remain honest"
 Tt is fitting that the worlds champions should show their re- spects to the memory of the man who, more thany anyone else, was responsible for honesty in baseball. Because Of his activities in putting dishonesty and roWdyism out Of the game he became known as. the king of umpires'.'
 "New Britain was proid of him, but felt that he belonged more to the nation than the community"
 "Haseball honesty and Tom Lynch are synonymous in America
 In the afternoon. the team went 70 Bristol and there played ] select ed team of college and semi-pro players. The Pittsburgh team lost the game 10 2, but the spectacle afforded the immense crowd which attended it. great pleasure in seeing some Of the greatest baseball play CTS in the world in action.
