BALTIMORE FEDERATION WILL
CELEBRATE LABOR DAY

Baltimore Federation of Labor
will celebrate Labor Day with a
Monster Picnic at Arion Park. Major
George L. Berry will be the guest
speaker. Arrangements have been
made to provide for $4,000 people.
Labor supports Roosevelt's re-elec-
ton.
Labor Day is the one day in the
year when working men and women
lay down their tools of Labor for a
general holiday. 1t is also an appro-
pirate day for the toilers to pledge
themselves to renewed efforts for
the permanent removal of the curse
of employment which has closed in
on millions of able-bodied workers
and consigned them and their fami-
lies to private and public charity for
their support.

CONT FACTS AWARDED ON
PHILADELPHIA ROAD

Contracts for two projects, involv-
ing expenditure of more than a
quarter million dollars, and looking
to the completion of the new Phila-
delphia road, have been awarded by
the State Roads Commission. One
of the projects was for the construc-
ton of the section of road between
Cowentown and Little Gunpowder
Falls, which was awarded to c. j.
Lagenfelder G Son, of Rosedale,
whose estimate of $224,6S2 was the
lowest received.
The project calls for the surfacing
with concrete of much of this
stretch of nearly four miles of the
dual highway, although in some
areas only gravel surfacing will be
placed for the present. This is in
order to allow time for the fills con-
structed through marsh land tic
settle.
The other contract, which is fol
construction of the Wilkens avenue
bridge, was awarded to P. Reding-
ton & Sons, lowest bidder, al
$31,724.
