The Significance of Labor Day

1t is hard to write about major American holi-
days without becoming trte and repeti,ious.
Many columns Of dreary verbiage have been writ
ten abou. such occasions as July Fourth. Decoration
Day, Washngton's Birthday and the rest. But ~
holiday has caused the outpouring Of quite so much
sheer tosh has Labor Day.
This is too bad. Labor Day is Of most
significant holidays. 1t is peculiarly American
institution; in no other country in the world could
it exist in quite the form it takes here.
Yet, ordinarily. its appearance is the signal for
the loosng OF ever many plattudes and near.
trusms about "the dignity Of labor" and SO On.
We have feeling that the ordinary American
worker does not give two cents for all the dignity
Of labor" in the world. The American worker has
his eyes other things.
For the fact that makes Labor Day. and the
labor to which it is dedicated stand out as por-
tent and omen, is the fact that American labor
ing men are not greatly concerned with the old
world shbboeths. Such phrases as "class con-
seriousness" have little meaning here. American
wOrkingmen. rule too sperous to worry
much about their class; they too busy looking
at the latest models Of automobiles and considering
the purchase Of that house in the suburbs to
worry greatly about labor's dignity.
This gives our European friends much pain To
them, American labor is 80 years behind the
times" American labor does not take to sympa-
tHeIlC strikes; american 0OOr IS too well SatSlle1
with what it has TO take much interest in politics;
American labor, in other words. is too busy work.
ing and making money to act as European labor
acts.
But there is another way Of looking at it. Isn't
1t just possible that American labor instead Of be-
ing 80 years behind the times, is SO years ahead
May it not be that the situation in which American
labor finds itself is the situation toward which
all laboring classes are struggling?
Our civilization is different from Europe's: pro-
foundry different In way is it Sd different as in
its industry and the relation Of that industry to the
workingmen who operate it. Mass production. ad-
vertising. machines and cheap power have pointed
as in a new direction; and while our employers and
investors growing wealthy as result. our work
crs are enjoying prosperity that seems fabulous
to an Englishman a Frenchman.
And so it is that the very calm way in which
American labor greets Labor Day is, after all, the
most significant thing about the whole occasion We
are too busy with the concrete realities of work and
WORKS. wage to get very excited about their abstrac.
phases. We are. in truth, hewing out a new order,
an order unlike Europe's as the Europe of to-
day-is unlike the Europe of Louis the Eleventh:
an order in whch-may We not dare to hope ?-the
problems and clashing interests that seem at times
to point Europe dangerously close to revolution
Mpbe peacefully solved to the satisfaction of all
Parties.
Il That is the significance Of our Labor Day.

II Might Have Been Worse
(The New York Times)

The average citizen has so many grievances with
or without reason against the vague weather man.
that it is gratifying to have testimony to the spec:f
&c accomplishment Of identified human being in
the forecasting service. In the New Orleans bu-
reau there is veteran observer Dr. l. NJ Cline
For more than quarter Of a century he has been
in charge Of the Gulf Section. His assistant is
Willard Mcdonald. During the period Of the food
their office was day and night ready for any demand
made upon it. How great part it had in the long
battle with the waters, extending through two
months. is to be inferred from the statement mad.
by Secretary Hoover that he and those with him in
directing the rescue work came to rely upon it
and to build their whole organization about it. With
the advance information. he said I'VE were able to
interpret It into the saving of thousands of human
lives" Moreover, the warnings issued by Dr. Cline
we're put forth in such terms As to invite confidence
and give information resulting directly in the saw
ing Of life and property. Without that service
added Mr. Hoover, Il believe New Orleans might
have gone under water"
Secretary Jardine to whom Mr.. Hoover reported
that this work should be a matter OF "illumined
record" in the archives Of the department of agri-
culture, to which this bureau belongs, added the
following tribute:
do not know Of any series Of acts which has
more thoroughly realized the ideals Of genuine
public service by. professional knowledge, out
standing ability and complete devotion to the
public than your work In relation to the Mis-
sssippi flood. Your Interpretation Of condi-
tons and your warnings were Of unsurpassing
accuracy
According to the estimate of Secretary Jardine
there was not the mere Interpretation of technical
data, but. as Secretary Hoover put it, Judgment
and discretion amounting to genius" The food
might have been far worse than II was save for
these watchmen upon the towers Of the Winds these
trained men in the listening posts out nearest the
enemy forces
What was done in grave emergency was excep-
tiona only In the occasion for the use Of the in
formation gathered hourly from the skies The me-
genealogical knowledge IL there just the same. ready

ing this tribute for their particular service have
