Those who do not wish to find in Socialism
the Hottest mysticism; the mysticism of the
idea of justice, and those who oppose to it the
respect for income, hold themselves triumphant
in this affirmation: 9
1t leads the world to ugliness Through It
art would perish. s' sa- f-ar
We must beseech them not to cling so much
without clearly ascertaining to what. What is
their art? The novels where three hundred
pages are necessary to learn whether the Wis
countess trif1es with the baron or with the
marquis, or with both. The plays in which a
married woman discovers during four acts,
reasons to her liking for sleeping out.
This world is no longer capable Of invention.
Is it necessary to mediate so long before con-
temporary art to see that for it also the revo-
luton will be salubrious. It's spent soul
searches impotently after pornographic diver
sions. Let us delight In the healthy destroyer
who will achieve its destruction. That which
deserves to die ought to die. The world must
be born anew.

liver since people have been people, how
many have realized that that which is most
beautiful in the world Is labor? Throughout
the centuries, art has knelt before the woman,
the warrior, the star. Has it knelt before the
laborer? Are the fearless firemen less heroic
sight than the military encounter? From the
face of the kneeling donors, one can tell what
faith was But what picture has been left to
us to show the person who loved his occupa-
tion the TRANSPORTED being enraptured by his
beautiful work?
Each day, the worker consummates with his
hands the welfare of the world. And it is to
him that art will owe its new life. The spec
tacles of love, of prayer are exhausted for the
artist. Who has worshipped the dolorous
beauty of the trades? After so many out-worn
images, here is the renaissance: The blast
furnace opens its mouth from which tongue
of flame leaps out at the fearless men. The
smoke stack blows towards the sky it's great
laugh of sparks which the birds overlap. In
the midst of the white steam, the linen weaver
appears. Half-dressed, in the moist incubus of
her misty loom, the moving solutions illumi-
nate her livid countenance.

common as July 4th. Various states were
persuaded to make the day legal holiday.
So far so good. Labor Day celebrations were
held in all the large cities. Some of them were
impressive. The movement was young and
virile. In the early eighties it was picking up
steam for the battles to be fought at the end
of that decade. In 1885, huge parade was
held on Labor Day in New York, which was
made part of the campaign to elect Henry
George mayor of New York City Sam Com
pers was there and aided in the campaign.
Injunctions were being used on a wide scale
and with impunity in a number Of strikes that
year in New York. Down with Iniunctions'
was one of the slogans of the day. Gompers
spoke from the same platform with Henry
George and told the workers to violate the in
functions.
Then came the eight-hour movement. The
American Federation of Labor was the initia-
tor and the moving spirit of this memorable
campaign. The Knights of Labor grown to
great power by this time, made a fatal error
in refusing to participate officially in the move
ment for the eight hour day. But the A. F. of
L. went forward with the preparations for the
calling of a nationwide eight-hour strike on
May 1, 1885. May was the logical time, with
summer in the offing to fight the battle rather
Labor Day with winter around the corner. That
is how May Day came to be. And that is how
May Day superseded Labor Day-why May
Day is part of the flesh and blood of the move
ment. But Labor Day was continued Yes
But that is another story.
The strike was called. The response was
enthusiastic. Great gains were won for the
workers. But on the Bird of May came the
Haymarket- bloody conspiracy against
again a handful of virile revolutionary lead
! ers of the workers that was in fact aimed at
the growing militancy of the workers move
ment in general and the eight-hour campaign
in particular. The reaction to this violent re-
prisal was terrific, and there followed several
| years of inaction.

THERE is more than one way in which the
capitalists have time and again attempted
to thwart the ambitions Of labor Wherever
It seemed impossible or undesirable to attack
labor headlong and directly, the master class
would proceed in a roundabout way, but al
ways pursuing the same objective, which is to
prevent the capitalization of class conscious
ness and class organization among the work
erS.
Labor Day was conceived as labor's day. 1t
promised to become, like May Day, a symbol
of working class solidarity against the capital
list class. But it didn't. The capitalists to-
gether with their henchmen in the labor move
ment have accepted Labor Day as their own
day, and in doing so have killed the soul of
what should have become day of real work
ing class struggle.
Labor Day was made into a perfunctory of
fetal holiday. 1t has become legal holiday
by act of congress and the legislatures of
thirty-two states The banks observe it. Every
thing is closed down. Factories stop. The
mines are shut. None but the wheels of neces-
sary transportation move.
But not because the workers will it. Not be-
cause of show of main strength by the toll
u 5 III whose name this hollow tribute is OBJ
served. No! The factories close, the working
class rests on that day because the masters
themselves recognize the day and rest also.
However, as the American labor movement be-
comes more militant and conscious, Labor Day
also will become transformed into day of
struggle against capitalism.
How did Labor Day come about?
1t was first suggested in the New York Cen
trail Labor Union in May, 1852. On the first
Monday of the following September, parade
was arranged that terminated in a picnic at
which speeches were made by labor orators.
Two years later, in 1884, the American Fed
Grafton of Labor sitting in convention declared
the first Monday of every September Labor
Day In the resolution all wage earners, re-
gardess ofsex, race or nationality, were urged
to observe the day until it should become as

of L. in 1889 the luU was broken and It was
decided to proceed with the eight-houf cam
paign. One union at time was TO make tne
attempt until eight hours had become the UNI
Versal work day. The Brotherhood Of Car
penters and Joiners was chosen to call an
eight-hour strike on May 1, 1890. Samuel
Gompers addressed request to the mterna-
tiOnal Labor Congress, meeting in Paris, 70 AID
the movement by calling mass meetings and
demonstrations throughout Europe The con-
gress granted the request. The eight-hour
strike was declared. More gains were made
for eight hours in the building trades and great
demonstrations of solidarity and support were
staged throughout Europe. From then on
May Day has been kept sacred by the militant
European workers.
But what happened in the United Statesf
After one more unsuccessful attempt with the
miners in the leading role in 1891, the eight
hour movement was abandoned. The mflitan-
cy of the American Federation of Labor was
dead. May Day was forgotten. In 1894, the
United States congress enacted law declar-
ing Labor Day a holiday In the District OF
Columbia and the Territories. Perhaps the
memory of May Day, 1888 and the fear that
that day would come to be tradition In this
country as 1t had already become in Europe
had something to do with this decision. The
A. F. of L. was satisfied. This gift of the boss
es fitted with the slogan "a fair days work
for fair days pay" The perfunctory annual
observation Of an official holiday began and
May Day was left to the revolutionary section
of the American labor movement to keep alive.
From time to time, in various localities,
Labor Day parades and celebrations have taken
on militant hue. They have occasionally
been genuine workers demonstrations, occur
ing in the midst of struggle, and serving as a
means to unite masses of workers for a single
