Early in May of 1882 the newly
formed Central Labor Union of New
York City was holding a meeting that
would have been forgotten decades
ago but for one piece of business
transacted on that occasion. At that
meeting Labor Day was born.
Among those present at the meet
ing was man in his middle thirties
named Peter j. MCGUIRE A native of
New York City, he had gone to work
in dry goods store while still child.
Later he had been apprenticed to the
carpenters trade, and at the age of
twenty he had become a union man.
1t was Mcclure who sent out call
for a conference of representatives of
the various scattered groups of or
ganized carpenters of that day. This
conference, staged at Chicago, estab-
lished the United Brotherhood Of Car
penters and joiners, now known as
one of the largest and strongest of
American trade unions. Mcclure had
long thought that the workers of the
nation made great contributions and
that it was appropriate that day
should be set aside to honor 'those
who from rude nature have delved and
carved all the comfort and grandeur
we behold"
So, on the eighth of May of the
year 1882, he stood up before his fell
low-delegates at the meeting of the
Central Labor Union and proposed
that one day in the year should be
designated as a general holiday for
the toiling millions. This day, he sug-
gested, should be known as Labor
Day.
And he urged that the first Monday
in September be chosen as the date

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

WASTE and destruction of a
w wholesale nutritious food prod
uct at any time is deplorable. When
this occurs at time when this coun-
try is engaged in world war where
emphasis is placed on the production
and conservation of any product which
can be used for food, it becomes al
most criminal.
Despite this fact, well-known to
everyone, during the past IL months,
fully 100000 pounds of bananas
produced in Central and South Amer
lea have gone to waste, providing food
for neither man nor beast.
Conditions in the great banana pro-
ducing countries are deplorable. In
many of those countries much of the
laboring class depend upon the plant
ing, production and shipping of the
fruit for their living. The American
government, with the cooperation of
the governments of those countries, is
trying to alleviate conditions by a
campaign of road building. This only
partially eases the situation, but is far
from curing the unemployment prob
lem.
What the war has done to the
banana business in these countries, is
shown by the serious falling off Of
imports since Pearl Harbor. Imports
from Central America, South America
and Cuba are not averaging much
over $4,000 to 10000 tons monthly,
less than one fourth of normal sup
ply. The rest of the fruit has to rot.
AS a result, bananas, which have al
ways been a popular fruit, are retail
ing, whenever obtainable, at Ills
cents pound, compared with a
normal price of 6-7 cents.
When the war first broke out, the
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1943-09-03

Government Communicated practical
ly all shipping, including the boats
used in banana transportation. The
waters of the Atlantic Coast, the Car
ibbean and further south were made
unsafe by the U-boat menace.
Shipping is easier now; the U-boat
menace is not so great. This statement
has been made by President Roosevelt
on more than one occasion. Under
these circumstances it would seem
that it would be possible for the Gov
ernment to spare four or five addi-
tional small boats to transport ba-
nanas from Central and South Amer
lea.
Each of these boats could make two
or three trips month between the
banana producing sections and Gulf
of Mexico ports. Each boat could
bring 5000 to 1000 tons monthly of
this badly needed food products to this
country. These would not take care of
the entire production, but would
greatly improve conditions in this as
well as in the producing countries.
If the proper authorities could see
their way clear to spare few ships
for this traffic-which certainly would
not seriously impede the war effort
it would have tendency toward con-
vincing the Latin-A American countries
that the Good Neighbor Policy of this
country is something more than lot
of words spouted by high-hat diplo-
mats.
1t would be a practical demonstra-
tion of this country's interest in the
vital problems of our southern neigh
bors and, incidentally, would bring a
wholesome food product at reason
able price to people of this country
who may be sorely in need of it soon.

quires one-half of the sleepers in the country

Scores of thousands of men in uniform are
travelling on furlough. Owing to war industry,
and the curtailment of motor travel, many
more civilians are using the railroads than in

However, thanks to the Military Police,
who ride on every non-commuting train
carrying any considerable number of service
personnel, there has been no serious trouble.
This may surprise some people who do not

These little dramas are being enacted every

a lot tougher if it were not for the unceasing
vigilance and toll of a group of home-front

sengers do not realize what is going on. For
instance, if an MP discovers man in the
lounge car with his hat on or his necktie
loosened. he merely murmurs Hat or Tie"
If he spots soldier or an officer with his
blouse unbuttoned, he whispers Button
or perhaps just points discreetly at his own
buttons.
Pexils Of New York
Mosr soldiers do not need such suggestions,
but those who do usually have excuses for
their untidness Not long ago, for example,
a tall private from the sticks got on train
in New York with his hair awry his hands and
face smeared with CRIME and his uniform
soiled When the MP's pointed to his unmili-
tary appearance, he told them that, never
having been in New York before he had de-
cided to 60 for a subway ride and got off at
the wrong stop. He asked man how much
further he had to go and, finding it was only
a little piece, decided to hoof it. So he had
jumped down on the tracks and started walk
ing A subway train roared after him. and to
avoid being hit, he had thrown himself
against the grlmy tunnel. That accounted for
his appearance.
Thousands of soldiers riding trains to-
day have never done much travelling and
they account for many of the MP's'
problems. Some of them ask innumerable
questions The MP's answer all of them
patiently. Green travellers have to be watched
because they prow up and down the train in
cessantly and frequently get into places where
they don't belong.
On a Middle Western train recently, a
woman asked soldier to get her bottle of
milk for her baby. She meant for him to get
it from the dining car, but he didn't know
that. At the next station, he got off the train
and started looking for dairy. That was the
last the MP's saw of him.

Todays MP is still big but in other respects
he bears slight resemblance to his swashbuck-

in the idea that it is their duty to help the
soldier, not to bulldoze him. and the MP's
who patrol our trains have been especially
educated in the softer graces. Far from being
the soldiers enemy, the MP is his best friend
