fully complete less than half of the
$50 acres comprising the total land
and water area of the project, 50 that
recreational facilities could be devel-
oped by National Capital Parks for
the use of the public. In addi-
ton, the elimination Of mosquito

for the adoption Of the project, has
not been consummated.
AT the rate Of appropriations for
1887 and 1888, it will be l3 years
before the project can be completed,
or 80 years after commencement of
the park project. The amount of
$612000 Is required after 1888. and
It is recommended that $250.000 be
appropriated for 1889 in order to
schedule completion OF the, entire
project in 1941.
The National Capital Parks once
seeks a 1899 appropriation of 81 ,158,-

BECANLABORDA DAY
New York City Ordinances
First to Set a Holiday
for Laborers.
BY the Associated Press.

oS tue ASsoCldleu fIeSS.
Flfty-five years ago more than TO-
600 Well-clad. cigar smoking men pa
raded in New York City to impress
politicians that they should not trifle
with labor.
That was the first observance Of
Labor Day.
The newspapers Of the day said
some of the marchers wore attire
OF fashionable cut and that AL
seemed bent on having good time
at the picnic ground"
During the march they carried ban
ners, which said: Labor Built This
Republic and Labor Shall Rule It.
Others advised the working man to
and Democratic Stinkers"
The parade was conducted in IAN
orderly and pleasant manner" and
reports said the police enforced a rule
that no one under the influence of
intoxicants should be permitted in the
line of march.
Among unions represented were the
piano makers, the horseshoers, the
bricklayers and the typographical
Ten thousand persons watched the
demonstration from Union Square.
Set Aside for Laborers.
Speakers entertained the crowd
during the afternoon and then the
laborers were free to do as they
pleased. Some leaders expressed dis
appointment that a few union men
went to the beach that day
The Nations first Labor Day be-
came a reality when when the New
York Central Labor Union, on May
8, 1882, adopted resolution of Peter
j. MCGUIRE, general secretary OF the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and join
ers, proposing that one day each
year be set aside 'as general holiday
for the laboring classes
He said that although other notable
American holidays were representa-
tive of the religious, civil and military
spirit" there was no day devoted to
the industrial spirit, the great vital
force of every nation"
Oregon Biazed a Trail.
MCGUIRE suggested the first Mon
day in September "as it would come
at the most pleasant season of the
year, nearly midway between the
Fourth Of July and Thanksgiving, and
would fill wide gap in the chronology
Of legal holidays
The first Labor day occurred, how
ever, on Tuesday, September S, 1882.
and the second exactly one year later.
In 1884, the first Monday in Septem-
Der was selected and the Central
Union urged organizations in other
cities to follow its example.
The first Official recognition of
Labor day as legal holiday came
through municipal ordinances during
1885 and 1886. The Oregon Legisla-
ture passed the first law approving
the celebration, but the first bill was
introduced in the New York Leg
islature
Gov. Lyman U. Humphrey of Kan
sas, on August l3, 1890, issued the
frst proclamation calling for State
wide observance of the holiday.
