First Lobor Doy
Bill Sponsored BY
Bio Six Member
By Federated Press

A New York congressman out
maneuvered Connecticut Yankee for
the honor of sponsoring the bill that
made Labor Day national holiday
in 1894.
The New Yorker was Amos j.
Cummings, one of the best known
members of Typographical Union No.
g.. He had worked under Horace
Greeley on the New York Tribune.
Cummings and Representative Rob-
ert E. De Forest of Connecticut in
troduced similar bills on Sept. 6, 1893,
but Cummings got to the clerk first
and his measure bore the lower num-
Der. Eight months later the House
Committee on Labor recommended
enactment of the Cummings bill.
A companion bill had been intro
duced in the Senate by Senator James
H. Kyle of South Dakota. The Senate
acted on June %, 1894, the House
voted its approval on June 26, and
two days later President Grover
Cleveland signed the bill. Cummings
sent the pen used by the President to
AFL President Samuel Gompers.
Cummings had a colorful back
ground. Born in Conklin, N. Y, in
1841, he participated in an invasion
of Nicaragua when he was only II.
He continued his military career as a
sergeant-major in the Union army
during the Civil War. Cummings died
in 1902 at the age of 81. He is buried
in Clinton cemetery at Irvington, N. j.

Peter j. Mcclure
Gets In Spotlight
Once Every Year

Forgotten 364 days out Of the year,
Peter J. Mcclure gets back into the
public spotlight once year when the
star speakers at union picnics and
celebrations extol him as the founder
Of Labor Day.
Generally overlooked are his early
efforts and those Of hundreds more
like him which broke the ground for
today's powerful labor movement Of
Ia million strong. He was one of the
generals in the battles that deter
mined what shape the American labor
movement was going to take and he
crowned the success Of his philosophy
with leading role in the creation of
the AFL, which those battles made
possible.
Born in New York in 1852, MCGUIRE
was apprenticed to a wood joiner at
Is, joined the existing union of his
trade in 1872, and in 1881 organized
the present Brotherhood of Carpent-
ers & Joiners (AFL).
He was general secretary treasurer
OF the Carpenters Union for a quar-
ter century.
Mcclure first proposed a national
holiday to pay tribute to labor in
1882. On June %, 1894, Congress
voted to make the first Monday in
September day of rest and dedica-
tion to American workers.
MCGUIRE died in 1914 and is buried
in Camden, n. J.

First Labor Hoiddy
Law Passed In 1887
By Federated Press

1t took just 36 years for the legis-
latures of the 48 states to declare
Labor Day legal holiday. First state
to act was Oregon, while on Feb. 81,
1887, designated the first Saturday in
June as Labor Day.
The western legislators adopted the
idea only five years after it had first
been advanced by Peter j. Mcclure
of New York. Six years later, Ore
gon amended it's law to set aside the
first Monday in September.
Next to act were Colorado, New
Jersey, New York, Massachusetts,
Connecticut, Nebraska, Pennsylvania,
Iowa and Ohio.
When Mcclure died in 1906, the
legislatures of 80 states had written
his idea into law. Arizona took action
on April 20, 1912, two months after
admission to the union. The last three
states to legislate on Labor Day were
Nevada, New -MSxieo and Wyoming.

above sea-1evel. The over-ocean flight completed by Capt. Fordyce was made at an average altitude of only 5000 feet, with the interior remaining at sea-1evel conditions.
 Commenting on the flight, Cap tain Fordyce said: ''The flight was routine because it made use of a technique we have followed in the Pacific for eleven years and in the Atlantic for seven.
 Before we began the 2,220 mile over-ocean hop from Ireland to Newfoundland, the weather maps showed us that on this flight a straight line would not be the shortest distance between the two points from the viewpoint of fly ing time. We set a northwest course which would allow us to skirt 1ow-pressure areas and meet the least amount of unfavorable winds. This course, which we fol- lowed for more than 1000 miles, actually took us away from our goal and before we turned south west into our 'down-wind' leg we were only about 75 miles from

Greenland. Incidentally, the north ern lights were unusually spec tacu1ar, presumably because ot sun-spot activity.
 @'When we turned south, we inn mediately picked up our predicted tai1-wind and by remaining at fairly low altitude-8,000 feet took good advantage of it. If we had flown high, we would have run into less helpful tai1-winds on the home stretch.
 Battling those gale winds at high altitude, had we elected to do so, would have required three to four hours more flying time and forced us to cut down on our passenger load. Furthermore, if we had flown the more direct Great Circle route, our gas re- quirements would have forced us to reduce our passenger load to less than 30,- no matter what alti- tude we flew at.
 Our point-to-point time on the ocean hop was 10 hours, 6 minutes. We had an average ground speed of 218 miles per hour."

Pan American Clippers Cut Ocean Time

NEW YORK-With the shatter- ting of overseas flying records by Pan American World Airways' RCipper 300 service to London has practically become a shuttle" On Feb. 4 one of Pan Americans giant four-engined 300-mile an hour aircraft piloted by Captain Robert D. Fordyce flew from La Guardia Field to Hurn, airport for London, in just 12 hours g minutes flying time. It was the fastest ever recorded for regularly scheduled operation with paying passengers. The same type of aircraft on Jan. IA flew from New York to Bermu- da in hours and 9 minutes on a commercial run and on Jan. 20 la Clipper 300 flew nonstop from New York to Lisbon in g hours and 58 minutes on a test run with Enon-paying passengers.
 The return flight to the United States of Capt. Fordyce's record shattering Clipper was not as fast as the trip over but there were forty-one passengers and crew of twelve aboard the plane, the greatest number ever carried by aircraft over the ocean on com- mercial run.
 There is "Jones Corner" in the North Atlantic. This mythical point originally discovered" by Pan American Airways navigators
 
 was used in setting course to minimize head winds and turbu- 1ence for the Clipper skippered by Capt. Fordyce.
 The Clipper arrived at La Guar dia Field a day behind schedule because landing conditions in this area were below minimum safety requirements.
 The return trip was substantial 1y slower, as anticipated, mainly because of easterly gale winds prevailing over the Atlantic at this time of year. Also practice ap- breaches to airports en route for crew experience a d d e d to t h flight time of the Eng1and-to-New York trip.
 Point-to-point flying time for the England U. s trip was IT hours, 40 minutes.
 A flying technique completely different from that used on re- cent high-altitude, record-break- ing flights of the new-type Clipper was used on the westbound cross ing over the open ocean stretch from Ireland to Newfoundland. Eastbound flights have been made at 17,00O to 19,000 feet altitude, with the Clippers special pressur- ization equipment maintaining "cabin altitude" of a mile or so
