ironically, in view Of the fact that
Mr.. Powderley condemned the
bombing and did not even sup
port the eight-hour- day strike,
the incident was to swing public

hasten their downfall.
In that 1885 year, Mr.. Gompers
gave up his effort to make peace
with the Knights. At Columbus.

North American Newspaper Alliance
This is the week end Peter Ma
guire dreamed up.
It was in May of 1882 that Mr..
Mcguire, Secretary of the Broth
erhood of Carpenters and Joiners
and a leader of the knights of
Labor, told New York audience
that -four months is too long
without a holiday"
The first week in September was
a pleasant season, Mr.. Mcguire
allowed just halfway between
July 4 and Thanksgiving; a Mon
day would make it a long week
end; why not the first Monday in
September as "Labor's day.?
Thus was Labor Day born.
Oregon recognized it officially
| in 1887 and New York, New Jersey
and Colorado followed quickly.
Congress made it an official legal
holiday in 1894.
And the history pages of SO
years show that, while American
labor has sprouted from its puppy
days in 1882. and while worker
wages have scared and work hours
dropped. union men are fighting
not "still" but "again"
same craft-versus-industrial union
row which disturbed Mr.. Mcguire
and his colleagues on the first
Labor Day.
60-Hour Week Was Common.
In 1882. Labor Department ar
chives show. a common laborer
earned something under IL cents
an hour and economic conserva-
tives were gasping over the fact
that skilled horseshoers were max
ing almost 80 cents an hour. A
60-hour week was fairly standard.
In that year of the first Labor
Day, there were an estimated
SOC, 900 union members. Today
the Nations unions claim 16 mil
lion members: 8 million for the
American Federation of Labor. 8
million for the CIO and 2 million
in various independent groups.
Last week the Labor Depart
ment announced an all-time high
average income for American fac
tory workers. $59.02 for an aver
age 40 hours regular work and "a
minutes overtime.
And, in 1882. like AFL and CIO
men Of today, union members
were divided over the divergent
theories of craft" unionization
on the basis of a workers skills
and industrial" organization of
all workers into mass union, on
the basis Of their employment
in a certain industry, irrespective
of special skills.
That was the year that an
English cigar-maker named Sam
uel Gompers became president Of
the Federation of Organized
Trades and Labor Unions Of the
United States and Canada. and
set out to convince Torrance v.
Powderly Of the potent Knights OF
Labor that craft and industrial
unionists could live in labor peace.
Mr.. Powderley was the 1882
personification Of organized la
Dor. Two years before, his Knights
had thrown away 11-year-old
trappings of mysticism and Sc
crecy and emerged in the open
as the first truly successful Amer
lean labor union. In 1886, he
built his union to a peak 750, 900
members and started a quick slide
into oblivion.
That year. 1886-the year of
the fourth Labor Day-was "a
year of tragedy for union men.

Replies TO Questions

By Roger c. Whitmon

Question: We live in an old
farmhouse and are having terrible
trouble with leakage over two
windows in our bedroom. The rain
literally pours in. making it neces-
sary to pull my heavy oak bed
out in the center of the room.
I must carry a stack of towels,
carpets. etc.. ABOUT two feet high,
to pad the window sills and the
floor. After such a siege I must
dry all this soaked material and
soon afterwards another rain
comes
I'm desperate, since several car
penters have looked the house
over and cannot find the trouble.
The water drips in huge drops
from the top of the windows
down onto the window sill. It is
where the outside framework is
nailed on. would appreciate your
help.
Answer: If the house is an old
one. the chances are that the
f1ashings around the window have
completely worn out, or may be
lacking entirely. 1t may help to
pack all crevices around the win
dow frames on the outside with a
caulking compound, which is
forced in with a caulking gun.
If there is a good roofing man
In your locality, he may under
stand the problem better than the
carpenters you engaged. A build
ing contractor would be able toI
locate the trouble with no diff
Guilty. If there are windows on
the upper floor directly over those
affected, 1t is possible that leakage
starts at that point and works
its way down and out through
the bedroom windows.
All cracks and crevices in the
upper windows and the walls |
above should be well caulked.
Crevices and cracks in the siding
should be puttied after a first
coat Of paint is put on.
Choice of Sheathing.
Question: Please tell us if an
insulating sheathing board is as
good as wood, when you are put
ting siding on a house. We have
heard so many different opinions
we don't know what to use.
Answer: There is nothing wrong
with either type of sheathing,
but If you wish to get more insu-
lation value than you would get
with wood. use the insulating
sheathing.
Stain Sealer Needed.
Question: What may I do in
the way of painting my combi-
nation, storms, which I had to
remove when painting an older
home I just moved into? The /
storms are made of California
redwood and are only stained. |
Can I paint them with ordinary
outside white paint, such as I
used. and if so, does the stain
have to be removed first, or do I
have to re-stain? If so, in what
colors does the stain come?
Answer: You can seal in the
stain with a commercial STAIN
sea1er, which well-stocked paint
and-hardware store should have
or be able to get for you.
