LABOR DAY 1912

LABOR DAY 1917
1t is in spirit of solemnity that we celebrate Labor
Day this year.
All the world Labor has gone down to defeat The
otalltaran conquerors, Immediately after seizing con-
troll emascuated the trade unions and then wiped them
they have promptly relegated the workngman to slave
status destroying the results Of his hard fought struggle
for better living conditions, taking away all freedom of
movement, all rights to speak for himself.
We Americans face Labor Day AZ with gratitude and de
termination Gratitude that live in land where Labor
Day may still be celebrated where honor is still paid to
those who toll where all aborers wherever and how
ever they Gratitude that we live in democracy
where the government is of the people, by the people and
for the people, where there height to which
children may not climb, where are secure in right
OF freedom Of action of Speech of press and of worship
according to conscience Not in the Pharasaccal at
htude, Father, thank thee that not other men,
but rather, hunby, In the spirit of John Wesley he
oked upon the prisoner and said There for the grace
OF Cod goeth John Wesley do face this Labor Day.
With that gratitude is coupled determination Deter
mnatlon to accomplish task Of making this nation
strong that its strength will be its protection Deter
mnation to demonstrate that free convinced of the
right can carry out more thoroughly and speedily
the gigantic defense program than can regimened slaves
thirsty dctaors of Europe Determination to give will
ngy the last full needed to put across the task
to which government of the peoples choice has committed
tsefof fighting the to finish with the aid of
fellow democraces and our fellow workers overseas
SO on this Labor Day 1912 Americans, placing our
trust IN the omnlscent aid Of Divine Providence dedicate
ourselves anew to the struggle to which bending

pie, and for the people shall not perish from the earth

revolt is equally fatal. A neg
alive program of hating Hitler

quered is inadequate. The hol-
low phrases of the Atlantic Char
ter do not suffice. An aifirma-
tive platform of Peoples Reyol-
ution, as the procurer of a Peo-
pies War for a Peoples Word,
including plan for European
and world federation, would seem
to represent the minimum pro-
gram for which the millions Of
the suhlugated can reasonably be
asked to risk their fortunes and
their lives. As for the yoiceless
