when originally made. I quote there
from:
Labor Day belongs to the working
people of America. 1t is for them to
determine it's value and significance.
Those outside the labor movement
test its strength and virility by the
way in which Labor Day is observed.
Their test is justified by the fact
that the jower Of the labor movement
consists in it's appeal to the hearts,
minds and wills of the workers. Rouse
the working people to sense of their
rights and interests, and the labor
movement becomes an irresistible
power for their realization.
I'm the labor movement as in every
human endeavor we become familiar
F, with the heart forces and ideals that
brought the movement into existence,
and sometimes forget that these spir-
itual forces must be revived and nour-
ished or they wither and die. Some
labor organizations have fallen into
this error. They have abandoned reg
ular Labor Day demonstrations, pa
rades, meetings, addresses in the be-
lief that such expenditures of time,
effort and money is wasteful. This
| is a most serious mistake.
"Such labor demonstrations are not
wasteful and they do pay even if only
through publicity for the cause of la
Dor. Men and women marching
shoulder to shoulder typify impress
lively the purposefulness and the
unity of the labor movement They
are a physical demonstration of de-
votion to principle-a proof that
nine can fail to understand Observ-
ance of the day is means of educat-
| ing public thought and agents for
molding public opinion in regard to
the principles and purposes of the la
| Dor movement"
| most earnestly and solemnly call
upon State Federations of Labor, city
central bodies, local unions and their
| individual members, friends and sym
pathizers, to make observance of the
coming Labor Day demonstrate to the
whole nation the strength and impor-
tance of the labor movement, and to
make the spirit of the day of such a
nature that every worker shall appre-
ciate more keenly the value of his
union, and shall be ready to perform
his duties with greater enthusiasm and
more perfect understanding.
The spirit of fellowship and the
brotherhood of man are the life OF
the labor movement. If this life be
not nourished, the whole will become
dead thing.
Labor Day typifes a movement foi
life and humanity.
Do not pervert lido not permit
it to be perverted or diverted from
its high ideals, its lofty purpose.
