According to the record, it was Peter J. McGuire who first proposed a general holiday for the la boring classes, a day which shall be Labor san oc- casion devoted to the industrial spirit. the great vital force of every nation"
 Mcclure, who was founder of the Carpenters Union and CO., founder of the American Fed eration of Labor, also fought left-wing ideologies and union movements in the latter part of the last century. He was at that time general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, and a delegate to the Central Labor Union of New York, when he proposed mo- tion at meeting of the latter group on May 8, 1882, recom- mending that one day in the year be designated as Labor Day. lie suggested the first Monday in September for the holiday 'as it would come at the most pleasant season of the year, nearly midway between the Fourth of July and Thanks giving, and would fill a wide gap in the chronology of legal holidays"
 MT McGuire's resolution was adopted and a committee was appointed to plan a demonstra tion in line with his suggestion of street parades, picnics and festivals.
 First official recognition came through municipal ordinances
Seward seaport record., 1953-09-04

which were passed during 1885 and 1886. From them developed the movement to secure State legislation. The first bill was introduced into the New York State legislature, but the first to become law was passed by Oregon on February 21, 1887. Other states followed and in 1894 Congress passed, with dis cussion, an act making the first Monday in September of each year legal holiday in the Dis trict of Columbia and the Ter ritories. This added materially to the prestige of the holiday it. self. By 1900 most of the states had recognized Labor Day off cially, and the 48th state to fall in line was Wyoming, which passed it's Labor Day law as re- gently as 1923.
 The significance or d e d Labor Day by the Nation is at tested by the fact that no federal legislation created it. It was the willing recognition of the citi zenry through local and state action. It is now a national holi- day with the same status as the patriotic and religious holidays whose history and traditions went much further back into the national life.
 Martin P. Durkin, Secretary of Labor, states in his Labor Day 1853 message, Labor Day has become a holiday of all the people, and an accepted symbol of the spirit of free working men and women.
 American free labor has grown along with the American nation and its people, and it has used it's strength to help the cause of freedom around the world On this first Monday in September, 1953's Labor Day, it is fitting and proper that Am erican working people, those in white collars as well as those in overalls, extend again their thoughts and their greetings and well wishes, to their brother workers in foreign lands.

An elderly gentleman heard of some capsules guaranteed to renew youth. He purchased a box and took one of the cap sules. The effect was all right, and he took another. That made him feel so good he decided to take the entire contents of the box and went to bed.
 The next morning his daugh- ter had difficult job arousing him.
 Get up," she stormed. "Its time you were out of bed.'
