tlonal strike on the first of May, 1886 The
response to the strike was so enthusiastic
that the employers decided drastic action
must be taken to halt the movement. The
Haymarket massacre and the bloody persecu-
ton and murder of the most militant of la
boris leaders was the answer.
Following the hanging of the Havmarket
trade union leaders period of apathy pre-
vailed until 1889 when the workers again
resumed the fight for the eighth hour av.
Ihls time instead of general strike of all
unions, each organization was to strike SEN

few years the struggle was abandoned and
when the United States congress in 1894
passed law declaring Labor Day holiday
IN the District of Columbia and the Terri
torres, the officials of the A. F. of t. CON
sldered the battle won. Since then Labor
Day has been gradually losing its labor
character.

lists is losing its original vitality and has al

Intimidation
BY H. C. WEISS.

1t is not well to dare the wrath
Of them who prize the dollar.
Tread you in your accustomed path
And wear the iron collar.
Not yours to question. Yours to work
And take you meagre dole.
The rack and whip for them who shirk?
Damnation for the soul.
Since when have slaves had any rights
Be meek and humble, give. -.
A kindly master will requite >.
Be thankful that you live!
Is it not just? The rope and stake
Are grim and grewsome things.
The gallows has lust to slake
And does the will of kings.
Think you this fat, fastidious boss
So arrogant and proud
Has not some chromosomes whose loss
Has left you manned and bowed?
Be silent and accept your lot,
Or if to speak you dare,
Take warning from your fellows caught
