sons who think it a mistake to
abbreviate the name of the Nation

they will be ordered.

FOUNDER OF
LABOR DAY
SET COURSE
BY Federated Press

Labor Day speakers and writers
have embalmed the memory of Peter
J. Mcclure, the founder of the holi
day, until now he seems like a mum
my instead of man to present day
workers.
Actually he was an alert, energetic
and able man who had a great in
fluence on the American labor move
ment He was one of the generals
in the battles that determined what
shape the American labor movement
was going to take and he crowned
the success of his philosophy with a
leading role in the creation of the
American Federation of Labor, which
those battles made possible. His early
efforts and those of hundreds more
like him broke the ground for today S
powerful labor movement of IA million
strong.
MCGUIRE was born in New York in
1852, was apprenticed to wood joiner
at Is, Joined the existing union of his
trade in 1872, and in 1881 organized
the present Brotherhood of Carpenters
& Joiners (AFL), of which he was
general secretary-treasurer for quar-
ter century He signed the call to
the conference that established the
ALL and he was secretary of the con-
vention at which it was formed in De-
cember 1885,
These organizations were symbols
of victories, however, and not the
battles. An organizer and leader of
variety of experimental workers
and socialist parties and movements,
MCGUIRE nevertheless was a leader in
the fight against those who wanted
workers to organize only politically
and not at all in unions. But, seeing
his side successful, he remained for
many years an advocate of political
action, opposed to those who wanted
only labor union economics and no
politics.
Mcclure first proposed national
holiday to pay tribute to labor in
1882. On June %, 1894, congress
made Labor Day national holiday.
Mcclure died in 1914.

that election was in experience gained
and errors realized.
BY the time of the next city-wide
election, the working men of the city
had learned a good deal Their party
policed the polling places to insure
honest voting. They made drive to
have everyone who could vote come
out and vote-and they were success
full.
For the first time organized labor
voted it's candidates into office and
held the balance of power in the gov
eminent of a great American city
History was made. A new path had
been discovered for the development
of American democracy, and organized
labor had won the respect and affec-
ton of a majority of the American
people.
All this happened in Philadelphia
in 1929, during the administration of
Andrew Jackson.
