The Saturday half holiday and the
a hour week are the results of trade
union agitation.
The union label placed on articles
produced by union men and women is
proof that they were made under
sanitary conditions at wages that per-
nit the wage earners to live in rea-
sonable comfort. When you buy union
labeled articles you benefit your fell
low union men.
The American Federation of Labor
and its affiliated organizations have
not only brought greater happiness in
the lives of the wage earners but in
the nations hour of danger it pledged
the loyalty of its members to the gov
eminent of the United States. And
that pledge was kept. The American
Federation of Labor is never at loss
what to do in any great crisis. And
this was exemplified a thousand-fold
IN its attitude during the great war.

Legislation was sought and not a
year has passed but some remedial
laws have been enacted. The first
great victory was the exclusion of
the Chinese. While the law was
enacted in 1882 it was many years
later before it was so changed that the
American people were fully protected
from that sort of immigration.
Then came the federal eight-hour
law and the seamens act, which freed
the last slaves in the United States.
Many people do not know that the
trade union movement was the earli-

At the same time it demanded that
children should not be permitted to

since then but the struggle to educate

Labor day.
Lest we forget, it is well to REGAL
that this is the forty-seventh ami
yersary of the origin of Labor day. A
small band of loyal, earnest trade
anionists, in their enthusiasm for the
benefits gained by organization
paraded in the city of New York or
che first Monday of September. 1882
This was the beginning of Labor
day.
In 1884, the convention of the
American Federation of Labor called
upon all wage earners irrespective of
seq, calling or nationality to observe
Labor day until Hit should be as un-
common for a man to work on Labor
Gay as on Independence day."
There is no need to tell how success
1ul that appeal has been. None will
deny that that condition is here.
When you return to work after
celebrating Labor day it will be with
satisfaction that can only come
from the realization that the trade
union movement has brought a better
and broader life for both you and
those dependent upon you.
The idea of Labor day spread
throughout the nation. Although
lew of the states have not made it a
legal holiday, it is observed in them
just as loyalty as in the states where
Labor day laws have been enacted.
AS we look back over the past Labor
days shine along the pathway of
labor's progress like beacon lights. No
matter how difficult the struggles or
great the sacrifices of each year there
was always the satisfaction Of the
gains made and recounted on Labor
lay. And the gains were always
greater than the losses.

CARBON COUNTY
PLANS SPLENDID
FAIR EXHIBIT
Final Preparations Being
Made for the County
Exhibits.

Carbon county is going to hav,
some exceptional productions for thi
years exhibitions at the Midland FIN
pine fair, which opens Labor day
Sept. 3, in Billings.
The final preparations are being
made for the county exhibits. The
sheaf grain and foliage exhibit gives
promise of being a splendid showing
by far surprising anything that has
previously been exhibited in the Car
bon county booth. The committee re-
ports 50 sheaves of grain, over loo
sheaves of grasses and forage and rs
samples of threshed grain.
F. G. Pickering of Joliet will have a
wonderful assortment of apples,
plums, grapes and pears, which he has
gathered from his own farm and those
adjoining. Bill Graham of Fromberg
Is busily engaged in gathering vege-
tables and threshed grain for the ex-
hibit.s
The committee has obtained a
sample of high powered wheat, g.
pound bushel weight, which has pro-
TEN content of 1876. This sample will
be entered in the Russell Miller con-
test together with several other sam
pics which have been collected
Special arrangements have been
made for an industries booth for Car
bon county, which will contain coal
from the Northwestern Improvement
company, canned products from the
Red Lodge Canning company and
chrome from the chrome mines owned
by M. E. Martin. The Joliet Flour
mill will also be represented, the bee
industry, the Beartooth Fox and Fur
farm, and the dude camps will be fea-
tured by Flashman's studio. A spe-
cial sign for the industry booth has
been made by Elmer Salo which is an
attraction in itself.
The committee has designated
Thursday as Carbon county day, and
they hope that all visitors from the
county will visit the Carbon county
booth on this day.
The committee wishes to particu-
larly urge the farmers to have their
at the designated places on
d before Saturday morning in order
that the truck which leave Red Lodge
Saturday morning may not be delayed
IN collecting the exhibits. Exhibits
may be left at the following places:
The bank, Belfry.
Times, Bridger.
Emmett's store, Fromberg.
Talmage store, Joliet.
Convery store, Silesia.

SALESMAN VISITS
RED LODGE IN
PRIVATE PLANE

The first commercial salesman to
visit in Red Lodge via airplane ar
rived last week, when Mr.. Salisbury
OF the firm of Salisbury and Satterlee
OF st. Paul, called upon his customers
in the interest of his firm.
Mr.. Salisbury has his headquarters
in Butte and is flying over Montana
in his own biplane and calling upon
his customers in an endeavor to make
up a pool car for a shipment of the
Salisbury-Satterlee goods out of st.
Paul. The landing of the plane was
made at the field northwest Of the
city, above the Brewery hill. Mr..
Salisbury expected, he said, to just
glide from here to Columbus.
The visit of Mr.. Salisbury is only
the beginning of commercial flights
and is indicative of the degree to
which the Lindbergh and other trans
Atlantic and trans-Pacific flights have
awakened public interest in this con
tlnent in matters pertaining to air
navigation. An outstanding feature
OF travel by private plane in that it
injects into long distance travel the
same casualness and freedom the
automobile has injected into local
travel. No waiting on trains, no MAX
ing OF reservations. 1t will not be
great while until Red Lodge will feel
The need Of more than an emergency
landing.
