Calls for Continued Effort.
There is, therefore, an extraordi-
nary pleasure in greeting the men
and women who have contributed Sc
much on the occasion of this years
celebration of the day dedicated to
labor by time-honored custom and
by right.
Let us make sure-by not pausing
for a moment in our efforts to pro-
vide the fighting fronts with all they
need and more-that by next Labor
Day there will be an end to the war
time restrictions which have been
imposed upon labor. These restric-
tions, if left in the hands of Gov
ernment, could destroy the institu-
ton of a free American labor move
ment and totally end the right OF
collective bargaining.
Nov, therefore, I, Thomas E.
Dewey. Governor Of the State Of
New York, do hereby designate
Monday. September 4, 1914, as Labor
Day and 1 urge all the people of
New York State to join on that day
in expressing their appreciation to
the men and women of the labor
forces for the patriotic manner in
which they have responded to the
challenge of the enemies of liberty"
Gov. Dewey planned to leave
Albany today for his farm near

Norway Reports Nazis
Sabotage Own Shipping
Ry the Associated Press

Ey the Associated Press.
The Royal Norwegian Information
Service said today that number of
German naval personnel have been
arrested after acts of sabotage at the
Aker Shipyards, Oslo, Norway.
The reported sabotage consisted of
blocking lubricating oil feed-pipe
with sand, the service e'stated, adding:
1T appears that German crews are
prepared to go to any lengths rather
than put to sea again. The morale
OF the German troops in Norway has
sunk lower as a result of the recent
events, and the Germans are no
longer careful to avoid open criticism
of Hitler and the other Nazi leaders.
They openly admit that they no
longer believe that Germany can win
the war"
