Peter J. Mcclure, the originator Of
Labor Day and founder of the United
brotherhood of Carpenters and J%oiners
of America, wa born in New York
City on July 6, 1852, and died in Phil
adelphia in 1906 at the age OF 81. AT
the time OF his death he was quite &C
lively engaged in organizing work for
the Carpenters Brotherhood
Mr.. Mcclure attended the New
York public schools until he was
twelve years Of age, when he was
compelled to secure employment in a
dry goods store, later he was appren-
ticed to the carpenters trade, study
ing in Cooper Institute after his days
work wa done. He joined a labor
union in 1872, and from that time took
an active interest in the trade union
movement.
Carpenters Brotherhood Is
Founded.
In May, 1881, Mr.. Mcclure, who was
then working in St. Louis, Mo-, started
a four-page journal called The Car
penter," whose slogan was the CON
~solidation of the various scattered
groups of organized carpenters. Three
months later he sent out the call for
a conference of organized carpenters
to convene in Chicago on August 8.
The conference was attended by thirty
six delegates representing twelve To-
cal unions with a combined member
ship of about 1000. It wa this con-
ference which founded the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers OF America. Mr.. Mcclure lived to
see the Carpenters Brotherhood be-
come one of the largest and strongest
of American trade unions, and for
twenty years was its General Secre-
tary.
In 1881 he was a delegate to the
International Workingman's Congress
in Switzerland, and took advantage OF
the opportunity offered to make a
thorough study of the economic con
ditions of European working men and
women.
Becomes A. F. of L. Officer.
Mr.. McGuire's connection with the
American Federation of Labor began
when he wrote the call for the first
A. F. Of L. convention in 1886. He
was Secretary Of that organization up
to 1888. He was elected Second Vice
President in 1889, First Vice-President
in 1890, and continued to serve as a
member of the Executive Council I'M
til 1900. He and President Samuel
Gompers we're the Federation's dele
gates to the British Trades Union Con
gress in 1895
Father of Labor Day.
In the Spring Of 1882, at a meeting
Of the Central Labor Union of New
York City, he advanced the idea of
setting aside one day in the year as a
special holiday for the workers. The
Union agreed with the plan and staged
the first Labor Day celebration in the
United States on the first Monday Of
September Of that year. Later every
State legislature and the Congress of
the United States enacted laws max
ing Labor Day a legal holiday.
Mr.. Mcclure was popular as a labor
speaker, having addressed meetings in
every State in the Union and in many
of the Canadian Provinces. According
to the records of the Carpenters
Brotherhood he spoke to over 200
audiences of workers.
His active interest in the labor
movement is shown by the fact that
two weeks before his death he helped
reorganize Local No. I'll of the Car
p%enters' Brotherhood in Philadelphia
and was present on the night when the
local was reinstated in the Brother

MY NEW YORK
BY JAMES ASWELL

New York, Dec. 12-The Run Of

IN its history since the placid early
years OF the Dutch, New York is
placid phySically-the skyline remains
pretty much what it was month in
and month out, even year III and
year out. "A few spires leap from
the rock, but they are rare, for the
greatest changes took place between
1920 and 1880; expatriates driven
home from the ends of the earth by
dollar trouble will gasp if they left
before 1920 but if they departed in
1880 or later they'll see few startling

ures compiled on statistics just OBJ
tainedf rom Washington show that
while the State of New York gets
back in the form of relief and other
Federal expenditures $1.14 for every
81 Of Federal taxes paid, that North
Carolina gets back in Federal eXpan-
ditures. including relief, only 43 cents
for every dollar in Federal taxes col
lected here. Thus North Carolina is
contributing more than S130,000,000 a
year more to the Federal government
than it send back into the State for
relief, public works, highway con-
struction, public buildings and 50
forth. In other words, North Caro-
lima is not only paying for its own
relief. but is contributing $15000o,-
900 a year to- be used to help other
states as well!
While these figures have been
known in a general way for d long
time they have nevec been stressed
by State officials. Bur indications ore
that from now on they are going to
be stressed more and more. especially
if the Relief Administration or any
other branch Of the Federal govern
